利興發展(00068.HK)擬250萬英鎊出售250萬股Ingredion SRSS Holdings B股
格隆匯 06-09 19:45

格隆匯6月9日丨利興發展(00068.HK)公佈,於本公告日期,公司全資附屬公司宏德持有4539.3萬股Pure Circle股份(於協議安排文件日期佔Pure Circle已發行股本約24.6%),並已向投標公司Ingredion SRSS Holdings Limited作出不可撤回承諾,於法院會議上投票贊成協議安排及將於股東大會上提呈的決議案,以及就其持有的全部Pure Circle股份選擇股份選項。

交易擬以投標公司收購Pure Circle的方式實施。投標公司將就Pure Circle的全部已發行股本提出自願現金要約,以使投標公司成為Pure Circle集團的新控股公司。或者,合資格Pure Circle股東可選擇上限1.12億股投標公司股份的股份選項代替現金要約,因此,於投標公司股權注入後及受限於緊隨協議安排生效後進行的投標公司股權注入的金額,有效接納股份選項的Pure Circle股東將持有最多25%的已發行投標公司股份,而Ingredion將持有餘下股份。

於收購事項、投標公司股權注入及Pure Circle股權注入完成後:Pure Circle將由投標公司全資擁有;投標公司將由Ingredion控制,而Ingredion將持有約75%已發行投標公司股份;選擇股份選項的Pure Circle股東將持有餘下投標公司股份作為少數投資,由持有投標公司約60%股權攤薄至持有投標公司約25%股權;投標公司股份將不會獲准在任何證券交易所買賣;及Ingredion及投標公司的少數股東將為投標公司股東協議的訂約方。

根據退出安排,Ingredion將於2022年1月1日起及其後連續三年每年通知少數投資者其願意於該年度購買的投標公司股份數目,該數目將等於生效日期已發行投標公司股份總數的至少6.25%。各少數投資者將有權按公平價格向Ingredion出售其於該年度持有的投標公司股份數目的比例百分比。

沽權證可於2022年1月1日起至2025年12月31日止四年期間內行使。於該期間:自2022年1月1日起至2024年12月31日止連續三個年度各年,少數投資者可行使沽權證,要求Ingredion購買於生效日期合共6.25%的已發行投標公司股份;及自2025年1月1日起至2025年12月31日止年度,少數投資者可行使沽權證,要求Ingredion購買餘下的投標公司B股。

待收購事項成為無條件後,宏德將根據收購事項的條款:出售其持有的全部4539.3萬股Pure Circle股份以作註銷;按投標公司B股未償付的每股協議安排股份收取100便士的基準收取投標公司B股及現金;及能根據退出安排、沽權證及認購證向Ingredion出售其Ingredion持有的投標公司B股。

於2020年6月9日,宏德與買方(陳文生先生、BL Tan先生及LC Tan女士)訂立買賣協議,據此,宏德有條件同意按買賣代價出售銷售股份(250萬股投標公司B股),買賣代價為每股銷售股份100便士,合計250萬英鎊,將由買方於買賣完成時以現金支付予宏德。

董事認為,買賣協議項下的建議出售事項為集團提供合適集資機會。董事相信,建議出售銷售股份將為集團產生現金淨額約240萬英鎊,將可加強集團滿足其日常業務過程中現金流出需求的能力。
