極少有人嘗試在香港進(jìn)行敵意收購,在香港許多規(guī)模較小的上市公司,都是的股東持有控股權(quán)。但陳寧寧表示,如果她獲得成功,就計(jì)劃進(jìn)行大舉籌資,并收購規(guī)模較小的競爭對(duì)手。
    Hostile takeover attempts are extremely rare in Hong Kong, where in many smaller listed companies the largest shareholder owns a controlling stake. But if she succeeds, Ms Chen says she plans to aggressively raise funds and acquire smaller rivals.
    “如果失敗,我將退出該公司。我還有其它計(jì)劃,比如收購另一家工廠,但我還沒傻到在沒做最后努力之前就放棄的地步?!?BR>    “If I fail, I will exit the company. I have other plans such as buying another mill, but I am not so silly as to give up before this one last try.”
    中國東方集團(tuán)董事會(huì)(除陳寧寧以外)已表示,她對(duì)該公司的競購是主動(dòng)進(jìn)行的,而且“沒有得到董事會(huì)的支持”。上周,董事會(huì)建議股東拒絕此次收購。目前未能聯(lián)系到韓敬遠(yuǎn)予以置評(píng)。 China Oriental’s board, excluding Ms Chen, has said her bid for the company was unsolicited and “did not have the support of the board”. Last week, it advised shareholders to reject the offer. Mr Han could not be reached for comment.
    陳寧寧的出價(jià)相當(dāng)于每股3港元,遠(yuǎn)低于該股上周五3.59港元的收盤價(jià)。在今年2月首次宣布此次收購交易時(shí),中國東方集團(tuán)的股價(jià)為2.24港元,陳寧寧聲稱,最近的漲幅“與(她的)報(bào)價(jià)有關(guān),不會(huì)持續(xù)下去”。
    Ms Chen’s offer price amounts to HK$3 per share, well below Friday’s closing price of HK$3.59. China Oriental shares traded at HK$2.24 when the takeover was first announced in February, and Ms Chen claims the recent gains were “related to [her] offer and not sustainable”.
    陳寧寧的競購被稱作是私營行業(yè)對(duì)中國政府的首次回應(yīng)之一,中國政府正努力將全國260家鋼鐵公司整合成規(guī)模更大、更具競爭力的集團(tuán)。國有控股的武漢鋼鐵(Wuhan Iron & Steel)和鞍鋼(Angang)等公司已開始著手進(jìn)行并購交易。 Ms Chen’s bid has been billed as one of the first private-sector responses to Beijing’s efforts to consolidate the nation’s 260 iron and steel companies into larger, more competitive groups. State-controlled Wuhan Iron & Steel and Angang, among others, have already embarked on mergers and acquisition deals.
    陳寧寧表示:“5年內(nèi),中國鋼鐵業(yè)將進(jìn)行整合,并出現(xiàn)超大型鋼鐵公司。”
    “In five years’ time there will be consolidation and mega steel companies in China.” Ms Chen says.
    “如果你不收購其它公司,你就會(huì)被別人收購?!?BR>    “If you don’t acquire others, you will be acquired.”
