<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bestway-global-holding-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26012:1" rel="noopener">Bestway Global Holding (3358 HK)</a> has despatched the scheme document in relation to a privatisation offer from Great Success Enterprises Holdings. The offeror is owned 92.0% by Mr Zhu (Founder, Chairman &amp; CEO) and 8.0% by Mr Zhu Jiachen, the son of Mr Zhu. The offeror will offer HK$4.38 per scheme share. Unsurprisingly, the IFA considers the offer to be fair and reasonable. We broadly agree with the IFA analysis with the exception that the peer multiple comparisons could be improved. <div class="content-highlight">
The key condition precedents are the headcount test along with the scheme approved by at least 75% disinterested shareholders and &lt;10% rejection by all disinterested shareholders. Fidelity holds a blocking stake of 2.45% of shares outstanding (source: CapitalIQ) but will likely support the privatisation offer due to the substantial premium of the offer price to long-term average share prices and P/E multiples.  
The court meeting is scheduled for 10 am on 15 September. At the last close price of HK$4.18 per share, the gross spread to the offer price is 4.8%.
