收購委員會:布羅德福國際不得從要約價扣除股息
證監會(SFC)公布,收購及合併委員會裁定,布羅德福國際有限公司將不得在可能作出的一項強制全面要約中,從要約價扣除經大連港(02880.HK)股東批准的末期股息。
委員會認為,布羅德福及大連港發出的聯合公布並無提及要約價可能會扣除末期股息。該公布的讀者因而會預期大連港的股東可全額收取要約價每股1.0127元。
《收購守則》規定在要約過程中作出的所有聲明都必須達到最高的準確程度,而在一般情況下,要約公布所述的價格不應被調低。
布羅德福的顧問於2019年6月14日接洽收購執行人員,尋求確認該可能要約的條款允許布羅德福從要約價扣除末期股息。由於當中涉及特別罕見、事關重大或難於處理的爭論要點,收購執行人員遂將個案轉介委員會處理,而委員會於2019年9月11日開會考慮有關事宜。
