Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>We tend to avoid turnarounds as they seldom turn;</li>
<li>But Beijing Tong Ren Tang Chinese Medicine can be a rare case in our opinion;</li>
<li>We see the company as being a wide-moat compounding machine, highly hopeful of delivering superior returns on capital when its business condition normalizes (sooner or later);</li>
<li>Simultaneously, the valuation of the share makes sense for alpha-seeking investors with a double-digit hurdle rate.</li>

On Friday after market close, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-traditional-chinese-medicine" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:351:1" rel="noopener">China Traditional Chinese Medicine (570 HK)</a>/CTCM announced that Sinopharm Hongkong, the controlling shareholder with a 32.46% stake, is currently exploring a proposal to privatise CTCM. The announcement was in response to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-sinopharm-m-a-china-tcm-exclusive-idUSKBN29W0J5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a Reuters article</a> on 27 January that Sinopharm is leading a consortium to privatise CTCM. The rumoured privatisation price of HK$5.10 per share is a 26.6% premium to the unaffected price of HK$4.03 per share (26 January) and an 18.6% premium to the last close of HK$4.30 per share (27 January prior to the trading halt). <div class="content-highlight">We believe that the privatisation will be likely done through a scheme of arrangement. As a Hong Kong incorporated company, the key condition precedent is the scheme approved by at least 75% disinterested shareholders (&lt;10% disinterested shareholders rejection). Overall, we think that at the last close price, the downside risk is low (trading close to break price) with a good probability of upside (announcement of a formal proposal).  </div>
