CNT Group Limited ( (HK:0701) ) has shared an update.

Control of CNT Group Limited tightened after Prime Surplus Limited acquired 88,723,592 CNT shares, or about 4.66% of the company, at HK$0.10 per share, lifting the concert group’s stake to roughly 34.38%. This triggered a mandatory conditional cash offer, to be made by Yu Ming Investment Management on behalf of Prime Surplus and SHK Hong Kong Industries, for all remaining CNT shares at the same HK$0.10 offer price.

In tandem, the transaction paves the way for possible mandatory unconditional cash offers for all issued shares and outstanding share options of CPM Group Limited not already held by the offerors, CNT, or their concert parties. Independent board committees and financial advisers have been appointed for both CNT and CPM, underscoring governance safeguards for minority investors as trading in the shares resumes following the announcement.
