Hong Leong approved for Frestech buy, Yongle announces IPO details, and Hisense adds more conditions to Kelon deal
Hong Leong set to get 90% of Frestech
State-owned shares amounting to 39% of electronics
manufacturer Frestech have been authorized to be turned over to Singapore's
Hong Leong, The Beijing News reports.
Hong Leong was the majority shareholder in Frestech, with 51% of the company -
this move will push its stake to 90%. The authorization came as expected; in
fact, talks have been going on for several years to sell off the state-owned
shares of Frestech. The value of the sale will be less than 510 million yuan
(US$63 million), far below the original estimate of 600 million (US$71.4
million).

value of US$132 million. While analysts had predicted that 90% of the shares

Hisense revises agreement with Kelon
According to a report in The
Beijing News, Kelon's majority shareholder Hisense has revised the terms of
its acquisition agreement in order to avoid pouring money into a financial
black hole. The original agreement made no mention of the status of the shares
to be exchanged; Hisense requests in the revised version that all shares be
free of restrictions, such as being frozen or mortgaged. In addition, the
previously quoted figure of 900 million yuan (US$111 million) that Hisense was
to pay for Kelon may end up being considerably less, depending on the results
of an audit of Kelon's assets.
