Shaw Brothers Holdings has provided a monthly update on its proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital of CMC Moon Holdings, a deal that may constitute an extreme and connected transaction and will be settled partly through the issue of consideration shares under a specific mandate. The company is still conducting due diligence on the target, preparing valuation and independent financial advice, and working through required PRC regulatory filings, while cautioning investors that none of the conditions have yet been met and the acquisition may or may not proceed. The transaction also involves an application for a whitewash waiver, meaning a potential change in shareholding structure without triggering a mandatory takeover offer, which could significantly reshape ownership dynamics if approved. Shaw Brothers said it will issue further announcements as progress is made, and urged shareholders and potential investors to exercise caution when dealing in its securities until the circular detailing the deal, the mandate and the waiver becomes available.
