Swire Pacific Reshapes Vietnam Coca-Cola Stake Sale via Share Deal

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Swire Pacific ( (HK:0019) ) has issued an update.

Swire Pacific has restructured the planned disposal of a 30% minority interest in its Coca-Cola bottling operation in Vietnam, originally agreed via a charter capital sale from Coca-Cola Indochina Pte. Ltd. to ThaiNamthip Corporation Public Company Limited. The original conditional transaction agreement for the Vietnam unit was terminated, and instead a share purchase agreement was executed under which ThaiNamthip’s subsidiary, ThaiNamthip Holdings Limited, acquired 30% of Coca-Cola Indochina for about US$221.1 million in cash.

Following completion and registration, ThaiNamthip now indirectly holds 30% of the Vietnamese bottler through its stake in Coca-Cola Indochina, whose primary asset is the Vietnam subsidiary, meaning both Coca-Cola Indochina and the Vietnam bottling business have become non-wholly owned subsidiaries of Swire Pacific. The company noted that this revised structure, driven by ThaiNamthip’s desire to streamline its investment holdings, constitutes a material variation of a previously disclosed transaction under Hong Kong listing rules, but the new share purchase itself is not a notifiable or connected transaction, limiting additional regulatory implications for shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0019) stock is a Hold with a HK$81.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Swire Pacific stock, see the HK:0019 Stock Forecast page.
