Jilin Jiutai Bank (6122 HK): Take The Offer. It Is What It Is

<ul>
<li>HK$1.32/Share, a 15.79% premium to undisturbed, and a massive 86.49% discount to NAV. For a rural commercial bank privatisation, there is nothing pretty in those numbers.</li>
<li>Even the Offers for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-of-jinzhou-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21014:1" rel="noopener">Bank Of Jinzhou (416 HK)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/jilin-jiutai-rural-comm-bank" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:23735:1" rel="noopener">Jilin Jiutai Rural Comm Bank (6122 HK)</a> were pitched (slightly) higher, from a P/NAV standpoint. And both were perennially suspended.</li>
<li>This is privatisation via a voluntary offer, NOT a privatisation via a Merger by Absorption. As such there is scheme-like vote AND a 90% tendering condition.</li>
