格隆汇 08-19 23:08

格隆汇8月19日丨长实集团(01113.HK)宣布,于2019年8月19日,公司间接全资附属CK Noble (UK) Limited,作为投标公司与目标公司Greene King plc已就投标公司对目标公司全部已发行股本及将予发行股本(并非由集团或其代表已持有者)进行建议现金要约的条款达成协议。

目标公司的股份的官方上市名单上市并于伦敦证交所主板买卖。收购事项拟透过英国公司法项下法院认可的协议安排方式落实。根据收购事项的条款,于协议安排生效后,目标公司股东将获支付现金代价每股目标公司股份850便士(相当于约80.8港元)。根据收购事项的条款,现金代价以目标公司全部已发行股本及将予发行股本的价值按全面摊薄基准计算约为27亿英镑(相当于约252亿港元)。

此外,收购事项允许(在目标公司的股东周年大会上取得批准的前提下)向目标公司股东派付末期股息。现金代价乃按目标公司于截至2019年4月28日止52周期间之除去利息、税项、折旧和摊销前收益4.82亿英镑(相当于约45.79亿元)计算约9.5倍的企业价值,或如包括于2019年4月28日利率掉期负债的公平值计算,则为10倍的企业价值。

目标公司为英国具领导地位的酿酒厂及英式酒馆营运商,于英格兰、威尔斯及苏格兰等地经营超过二千七百间英式酒馆、餐厅及酒店,其三个主要业务分支为"Pub Company(英式酒馆公司)"、"Pub Partners(英式酒馆合作伙伴)"及"Brewing&Brands(酿酒及品牌)"。截至2019年4月28日,目标公司拥有1,687家由其经营的英式酒馆、餐厅及酒店,而81%的目标公司物业均具有永久业权或作长期租赁。

集团为长期及策略投资者,投资于受惠于房地产的支持下拥有稳定、可获利及产生现金流的业务。公司认为,英国英式酒馆及酿酒业拥有此类特质,而且英式酒馆将继续成为英国文化和外出用餐饮食市场的重要部分。集团已投资於英国英式酒馆行业,并拥有一小部分英式酒馆,而全数均出租予目标公司集团。收购事项乃对该行业作出之一项重大额外投资。目标公司具吸引力之条件包括其于英国英式酒馆具市场规模地位;拥有永久业权及长期租赁物业;以及强健财务状况。

董事相信,收购事项为公司投资者提供具吸引力的投资机会,集团将因而受惠。收购事项与集团全球多元化政策一致,并符合集团投资准则。在收购事项生效之后,预期集团将能够扩展其领域至其他业务范畴,并受惠于业务拓展所带来之稳定经常性收入,以及能巩固集团在英国及透过英国的持股权益。集团的策略性理念乃凭藉雄厚财务根基支持管理团队制定和实施创造长久价值的计划。

集团相信其拥有之财务资源可供其于合适情况下为新项目注入资金,以提升目标公司的可持续性、盈利能力及竞争力。集团期待与目标公司业务的所有持份者(包括其管理层、员工及租户)合作,提升目标公司的长期价值及市场地位。
