<ul>
<li>For Fosun, every major capital operation is the result of careful consideration after a long time. If it is a deal that Mr. Guo fully supports, there’s basically no problem.</li>
<li>For the privatization, the board of directors of Henlius has no special opposition. We think that this privatization would have no impact on the operation of Henlius in the future,</li>
<li>As the phenomenon of undervaluation of Henlius is difficult to fundamentally change, the Cancellation Price is attractive for most investors. There’re risks if choosing Share Alternative. Cash Alternative is preferred. </li>

Shanghai Henlius Biotech (2696 HK) - Some Thoughts About the Privatization

<li>Ahead of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shanghai-henlius-biotech-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27888:1" rel="noopener">Shanghai Henlius Biotech (2696 HK)</a>'s EGM and Court Meeting on the 22 January, the focus has shifted to Loyal Valley Capital (LVC)'s continued buying in the market.</li>
<li>After the close of market last Friday, LVC held <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2025/0110/2025011000368.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7.8295%</a>, above the 7.826% blocking stake. That % was as at 9th January. I assume LVC are still buying.</li>
<li>Yet if you analyse how LVC has traded in and out of Henlius, they are not in it to block. They're in for the back-end scrip option.  </li>

Ahead of Shanghai Henlius Biotech (2696 HK)'s EGM and Court Meeting on the 22 January, the focus has shifted to Loyal Valley Capital (LVC)'s continued buying in the market.
After the close of market last Friday, LVC held 7.8295%, above the 7.826% blocking stake. That % was as at 9th January. I assume LVC are still buying.
Yet if you analyse how LVC has traded in and out of Henlius, they are not in it to block. They're in for the back-end scrip option.
