The latest announcement is out from MS Group Holdings Ltd. ( (HK:1451) ).

Control of MS Group Holdings Limited has shifted after L.V.E.P. Holdings Limited agreed to buy 75 million shares, or about 36.69% of the company, from existing vendors for HK$60 million at HK$0.80 per share. Following completion, the buyer and its concert parties hold roughly 72.20% of the issued share capital, triggering mandatory unconditional cash offers for all remaining shares and outstanding options, and prompting the appointment of an independent financial adviser as trading in the stock resumes.

The mandatory offers, made on behalf of L.V.E.P. by Rainbow Capital (HK) Limited, will cover 56,828,000 shares not already held by the offeror group, as well as option cancellations, and are not subject to any minimum acceptance level. The transaction consolidates control in the hands of the new investor group and may reshape the company’s governance and strategic direction, with implications for minority shareholders who must now decide whether to tender into the cash offers or remain invested under the new controlling shareholder.
