Jinke Smart Services (9666 HK) has announced an enhanced offer from Boyu at HK$8.69, a 30.3% premium to the existing base offer of HK$6.67.
The enhanced offer is conditional on the shareholders’ approval of the delisting resolution and the 90% minimum acceptance condition from disinterested shareholders.
The 90% minimum acceptance condition could be challenging, particularly as the peers have re-rated and the enhanced offer is barely above the undisturbed price. 


Jinke Smart Services (9666 HK): Boyu’s Enhanced Offer but with Potentially Problematic Conditions

<ul>
<li>On 19 September, Boyu completed the auction share transfer to take its <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/jinke-smart-services-group-co" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29214:1" rel="noopener">Jinke Smart Services (9666 HK)</a> shareholding to 55.91% of outstanding shares.</li>
<li>Pursuant to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, Boyu is required to make a mandatory unconditional general offer at HK$6.67. The offer should open by 26 September.</li>
<li>The offer price is unattractive, suggesting a low chance of breaching the public float requirements (23.4% of outstanding shares). At the last close, the gross/annualised spread is 0.9%/10.0%.</li>
