協同通信(01613.HK)擬收購證券經紀商威靈頓金融100%股權
格隆匯4月17日丨協同通信(01613.HK)發佈公告,2020年4月17日,公司(作為買方)與威靈頓投資集團有限公司(作為賣方)簽訂買賣協議,據此,賣方同意出售目標公司100%已發行股本。總對價為250萬港元加資產淨值的總和,根據買賣協議,總對價將不會超過1600萬港元。
目標公司威靈頓金融有限公司為一間於香港註冊成立的有限公司,主要在香港從事證券交易及經紀服務,併為持有證券及期貨條例項下第1類(證券交易)及第9類(提供資產管理)受規管活動牌照的持有人。
公告表示,集團一直專注於物色及把握有利於集團的新投資機會,從而將其業務風險分散至其他新業務分部及地區分部,尤其當處於目前動盪的經濟環境。目標公司是一間自2016年在香港成立且建立完善的證券經紀公司,主要在香港提供證券經紀服務。公司認為,集團於收購事項後的業務風險在業務性質及地理位置等方面將得以分散。
此外,收購事項將有利於集團憑藉目標公司過往的經驗於未來在香港經紀業務及其他金融服務業務上取得協同效應。同時因公司為一間具有強大中國背景及關係且財務狀況良好及資源充足的香港上市公司,目標公司將在其支持下享有協同效益。經考慮可能產生的協同效益後,董事會認為收購事項後目標公司的盈利能力將得以提升,原因包括:(1)客户羣可能擴展至中國大陸;(2)在公司支持下,現有業務及其他與金融有關的受監管活動的業務的潛在擴張;及(3)與集團的潛在資源共享將能節省成並提高對資源利用的效率。
儘管管理層注意到香港股市近期於2020年第一季度大幅下跌,但董事會仍然保持樂觀,主要因為自2020年4月開始出現穩定跡象。因此,公司認為,與新成立一間證券公司所需巨大精力及時間相比,收購事項對集團而言屬投資的良機,將可以更優惠價格及條款收購一家完善確立的證券經紀公司。公司認為,收購目標公司的對價以固定現金溢價250萬港元加其資產淨值釐定,且根據其最近期財務報表,預期市賬率僅約為1.2,故屬公平合理。
