Back on 9th Feb 2024, healthcare technology platform IntelliCentrics Global Holding (6819 HK) announced the proposed disposal of its key operations to Symplr Software Holdings for at least US$246.5mn.
Upon completion of the sale, IntelliCentrics will declare a special dividend, then seek a listing withdrawal. A key condition to the sale was FTC/DOJ approval. That is now satisfied. 
The sale/dividend/delisting requires a Scheme-like vote, with 72.1% of shares out supportive. This is a super-clean pseudo arb. Pushback? Very illiquid.
