利亚零售(00831.HK)拟逾27亿售OK便利店业务 派每股特别息3.85元
阿思达克 11-05 08:31
利亚零售(00831.HK)公布,计划向加拿大多伦多证券交易所上市的便利店营运商ACT(Alimentation Couche-Tard ),出售集团旗下便利店业务(即是OK便利店),现金代价为27.9亿元。公司指,目标集团的营运资金约为负5.1亿港元,预期将录得出售事项之收益约29亿元,拟动用全部出售事项所得款项净额派付特别现金股息,每股股份3.85元。

截至本公布日期,目标集团於香港经营约340家OK便利店。买方ACT於多伦多证券交易所上市,主要以「Couche-Tard」和「Circle K」品牌从事便利店及道路运输燃油零售相关业务,在全球拥有近14,350个经营点。

据ACT授予的特许权协议,利亚零售於1985年在香港以「OK便利店」品牌开始经营便利店业务。随着ACT授予的特许权协议临近到期日,管理层团队已考虑了便利店业务的各种策略替代方案,其中包括但不限於可能与ACT续签特许权协议或出售便利店业务。与此同时,董事会收到ACT提出的有利建议,将便利店业务出售给ACT。

利亚零售解释,由於香港近期的社会及经济发展促使公司的管理团队以考量目标客户基础,来审视香港便利店业务之长期策略选项、以及便利店业务在香港和香港以外的未来投资需要。另一方面,公司认为,剩余集团的品牌(圣安娜、Mon cher和Zoff)更适合利用互联网及线上平台,对中等收入客户群更具吸引力,并且更少依赖物流设置以及供应链基础设施。
