收购委员会:布罗德福国际不得从要约价扣除股息
证监会(SFC)公布,收购及合并委员会裁定,布罗德福国际有限公司将不得在可能作出的一项强制全面要约中,从要约价扣除经大连港(02880.HK)股东批准的末期股息。
委员会认为,布罗德福及大连港发出的联合公布并无提及要约价可能会扣除末期股息。该公布的读者因而会预期大连港的股东可全额收取要约价每股1.0127元。
《收购守则》规定在要约过程中作出的所有声明都必须达到最高的准确程度,而在一般情况下,要约公布所述的价格不应被调低。
布罗德福的顾问於2019年6月14日接洽收购执行人员,寻求确认该可能要约的条款允许布罗德福从要约价扣除末期股息。由於当中涉及特别罕见、事关重大或难於处理的争论要点,收购执行人员遂将个案转介委员会处理,而委员会於2019年9月11日开会考虑有关事宜。
