Bakers, Jia Yuan act on AVIC International's privatisation
Baker McKenzie has advised AVIC International on its proposed privatisation of AVIC International Holdings, it's subsidiary company, with Jia Yuan Law Offices advising the seller under PRC law. Malaysia firm Megat Najmuddin Leong & Co, Kenyan firm Amolo & Gacoka, Tanzanian firm George Palangyo and Peruvian firm Progress Advisors also advised the seller.
The H Share Offer became unconditional in all respects on March 6, 2020, and the delisting of the H Shares of AVIC International Holdings will take place on April 17. This deal is the second privatisation of an H share-listed company involving an H share offer that has become unconditional in the market, since the amendments to the Hong Kong Takeovers Code came into effect.
Founded in 2009, AVIC International is a state-owned enterprise with international aviation, trade and logistics, real estate service and industrial investment as its main businesses. Meanwhile AVIC International Holdings is a Hong Kong-based investment holding company engaging in electronic products manufacturing. The buyer would consolidate by merger with the seller thereafter.
The Baker team was led by Hong Kong-based partner Christina Lee and Beijing-based partner Wang Hang.
CICC was the sole financial advisor of AVIC International.
