现金收购要约达强制收购门槛 神州租车(00699.HK)将申请撤销上市地位
3月4日晚，MBK Partners(安博凯)旗下全资拥有的私募基金Indigo Glamour Company Limited和神州租车有限公司(00699.HK)发布了联合公告，宣布自愿性全面现金要约已于2021年3月4日(星期四)下午四时正截止，包括收到的有效接纳的股份以及投票权在内，要约人安博凯及其一致行动人士共持有1,999,274,589股股份，占神州租车已发行股本及投票权约94.01%。
由于要约人已收到涉及不少于90%的要约股份及不少于90%的无指定关系股份的有效接纳，根据开曼群岛公司法第88条及《收购守则》规则2.11，要约人将通过行使其权利，对剩余股份进行强制收购。交易条款与股份要约保持一致，收购价格同样为每股4.00港元。
按照开曼群岛公司法，强制收购只能在发出要约综合文件发出后的四个月后开始。因此，要约人将在2021年6月2日向持有余下要约股份的合格股东收购发出通知强制性收购通知。
神州租车将根据上市规则第6.15(1)条向联交所申请撤销股份于联交所的上市地位，目前预期为2021年7月前后。神州租车将另行刊发公告，以通知公众有关股份撤回在联交所上市的时间及其他详情。神州租车的股票将继续在交易所交易，直至退市之日。
截至3月4日，公众人士持有1.27亿股股份，占神州租车全部已发行股本约5.99%，未能符合联交所列明的21.6%最低公众持股量规定。
在未来，安博凯将继续神州租车现有汽车租赁业务，并计划借助安博凯在汽车租赁行业的经验帮助公司加强、创新及发展业务，确保公司能够持续提供高质量的出行服务并进一步发展。具体措施可能包括进一步调整公司资本结构，改善公司的经营结构，以及加强和深化公司管理方面的技能和人员安排，在运营、控制和公司治理方面采用全球最佳实践，并寻求战略增长机会，以长期创造价值。神州租车将有机会利用安博凯的财务资源、行业经验和本土洞察，进一步为中国消费者提高相关出行服务质量。
安博凯发言人表示：“我们欣然看到股份要约的有效接纳已经达到了强制私有化的门槛。我们相信对于股东、神州租车和中国租车行业来说都是一个多赢的结果。安博凯期待与神州租车密切合作，为消费者带来更优质体验，进一步推动中国租车和出行产业的创新。”
