CC, Kirkland on Yitai Coal’s privatization deal

Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal Company has recently completed its privatisation deal and has officially delisted its H-shares from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The total consideration for this deal was approximately $729 million.

Global Law Office and Clifford Chance participated as company counsel in the transaction, while Kirkland & Ellis provided legal advice to the financial advisor, China International Capital Corporation (CICC), for the deal.

This transaction, which utilized a repurchase offer to complete the privatization of H-shares, is the largest of its kind in terms of transaction value and marks the first B+H-share dual-listed company privatization project.

Established in 1997, Yitai Coal is a large-scale energy enterprise focusing on coal production, transportation, sales, and integrating railways and coal chemicals. It was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange B-shares in 1997 and completed its H-share listing in 2012.

The Global team was led by Liu Jinrong and Zhu Qin;

The CC team was jointly led by China Co-Managing Partner Tim Wang and Hong Kong partner Tommy Tam;

The Kirkland team was led by Hong Kong corporate partner Joey Chau.
