伦交所四大理由拒港交所并购：不符合战略目标 对其估值严重不足
来源：第一财经
9月13日中秋月圆之夜，港交所却没能实现东西方“世纪联姻”的圆满。伦交所在当地时间中午12时24分在官网发布声明称，董事会一致拒绝港交所的收购提议，表示没有必要与香港交易所进一步接洽。
伦交所在官网登出了今天发给港交所的一封拒绝信，信中显示伦交所是在9月9日收到港交所的并购提案，并对港交所两天内公开发布这则提案表示惊讶和失望。
信中透露了伦交所拒绝并购提案的四个方面考虑，分别是战略层面、可行性、并购形式以及价值。伦交所的表达语气也非常强硬，言辞间明显显示对该提案不感兴趣。
一是港交所的提案与伦交所的战略目标不符，当前收购路孚特（Refinitiv）的提案满足伦交所成为领先的金融市场基础设施提供者的目标，而港交所的地理因素和交易量方面与伦交所的战略考虑是背道而驰的。
伦交所还特别表示，很看重中国市场的机会，但并不认为港交所能带来亚洲最佳的定位以及中国最好的交易平台，而是看重目前跟上交所的互利伙伴关系，这也是更直接连接中国机遇的渠道。
二是可行性的风险方面，港交所的提案将面临多方审查，该过程是否能取得多方的支持有着高度的不确定性，这对股东来说也是较大的风险。
三是港交所的收购提案报价的四分之三是以港交所的股票形式，然而这并没有足够的吸引力。伦交所认为港交所股票具有内在的不确定性，并且对港交所长期的战略地位表示疑虑。
四是与伦交所通过收购路孚特能获得的价值相比，港交所收购伦交所的价值明显削弱。伦交所在声明中也提到，收购路孚特目前进展顺利，今年11月有望提交并征求股东同意，并将在2020年下半年完成。
此前，港交所9月11日公开的收购建议显示，港交所计划以2045便士加2.495股新股换取1股伦交所股票，较9月10日伦交所收市价每股6804便士溢价22.9%，因此是以四分之一的现金加四分之三的港交所股票发起收购。
伦交所发布拒绝声明时正值盘中，截至发稿股价报收7406便士，上涨2.12%，股价并未受到拒绝港交所并购的影响。
