Yancoal Australia (YAL AU)’s independent board committee unanimously concluded that Yankuang Energy Group (1171 HK)’s H-Share CBs offer is not in the best interests of Yancoal’s minority shareholders. 
Yankuang is open to continuing its discussions with Yancoal Australia (3668 HK) but maintains that the offer was based on long-term factors including expectations of future coal prices.
Overall, the wording of Yankuang’s response suggests that it is more inclined to bide its time rather than return with a better offer. Required FIRB approval remains an overhang.

The rejection of Yankuang Energy (1171 HK)'s proposal by Yancoal Australia (3668 HK) independent board was always on the cards.
Yet the bigger question remains - why was this unorthodox structure, involving the issuance of H-Share convertible bonds, tabled in the first place?
Back in Yankuang's court. Revise terms? Walk away? To note, Yancoal has not, to date, received any formal offer or proposal from Yankuang.
