<p>Stephen Wong &amp; concert parties holding 40.88% of shares out and will not tender. Additional directors holding 0.9% have given an undertaking not to tender. With 58.22% of the register (or the Independent Shareholders) subject to the buyback, this implies a minimum pro-ration of 22.04%. The Independent Shareholders are required, by way of a special resolution (75% vote), to approve a whitewash waiver such that Wong is not obligated to make a general offer for shares not held. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>At HK$2.40, minimum pro-ration is a back end at HK$2.29 which isn't a huge discount, but with 14.9% accretion of EPS and 7.7% accretion of BVPS, the back-end should trade at perhaps 7.7-14.9% above where it was trading.</p>
<p>Separately, Skyworth <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2020/0715/2020071500698.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on the 15 July it had submitted a PN15 application to spin-off and list (non-wholly-owned) Shenzhen Coocaa Network Technology Company Limited (Coocaa), an internet-based operator of smart television systems.  There is no guarantee the spin-off will occur or not. Concurrent with the Coocaa announcement, Skyworth <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2020/0715/2020071500686.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> a positive profit alert.</p>
