<li>Acquiring CPMC at low price is in line with Baosteel's strategic goals and the new assessment indicators of Baowu Group. This explains why Baosteel didn't choose to raise its Offer </li>
<li>ORG intends to acquire 100% equity of CPMC. This means state-owned capital needs to withdraw completely from CPMC. So, would China Foods/COFCO (both SOEs) agree to be acquired by ORG?</li>
<li>If ORG is “forced to” acquire CPMC due to Baosteel's low Offer Price, will ORG change mind and choose to withdraw midway?Such “potential unwillingness” from ORG makes the deal “tricky”.</li>

<li>Baosteel's choice to maintain its original Offer may partly reflect its "confidence" in the deal. If investors bet that Huarui Offer will succeed, they need to bear some risks.</li>
<li>If investors choose to arbitrage at HK$7.21/share, annualized return is 9% assuming privatization would be completed in mid-Jan 2025.Such return may not be attractive considering the uncertainties behind the deal. </li>
<li>If investors are optimistic about Baosteel's final acquisition of CPMC, they can consider buying Baosteel shares, as Baosteel will become the new industry leader, with greater upside potential for valuation.</li>
