<h3>The New News</h3>
<p>Late last night SLJS <a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2021/0322/2021032201066.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> a possible unconditional mandatory general Offer (MGO) from CGS for the H shares (at HK$51.0571/share) and domestic shares (at RMB42.8547/share).</p>
<p>CGS has also proposed a voluntary delisting, and if the delisting resolution is approved by independent H-shareholders and the listing acceptance condition (yep, one with an infamous 90% handle) is satisfied, H-shareholders will receive HK$54.30/share and domestic shareholders RMB45.5768/share.</p>
<p>The MGO appears a lock, so you have an effective floor of HK$51.0571. The question, therefore, is: do you chase the delisting bump?</p>
<p>More below the fold.</p>
