中国复星竞购葡萄牙医院运营商
Chinese conglomerate Fosun has entered the bidding war for Espírito Santo Saúde, offering $580m for the Portuguese hospital operator.
中国综合企业复星(Fosun)以5.8亿美元的出价，加入到了对葡萄牙医院运营商ESS(Espírito Santo Saúde)的竞购战中。
Fidelidade, the Portuguese insurer and a Fosun subsidiary, is offering 4.72 a share for the healthcare business, according to a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Tuesday. The bid represents a premium of 31 per cent above the average share price over the previous six months, Fosun said. Shares in ESS closed at 4.70 in Lisbon on Monday.
根据周二递交给香港证交所的一份声明，葡萄牙保险公司、复星子公司Fidelidade提出以每股4.72欧元的价格收购ESS。复星表示，这一出价较过去6个月ESS的平均股价溢价31%。ESS股价周一在里斯本收于4.70欧元。ESS is 51 per cent-owned by Espírito Santo group, the troubled family company that controls Portuguese lender Banco Espírito Santo.
陷入困境的家族企业Espírito Santo集团持有ESS 51%股权，这个家族企业还控股了葡萄牙银行Banco Espírito Santo。
The offer from China’s largest privately held conglomerate trumps the previous top bid of 4.50 a share by Mexico’s Grupo Angeles. José de Mello Saúde – a local rival to ESS – has also submitted an offer for the business.
复星是中国最大私人持股综合企业。它对ESS的出价超过了此前墨西哥公司Grupo Angeles每股4.50欧元的最高出价。ESS的本国竞争对手José de Mello Saúde也提出了收购报价。Fosun took control of Fidelidade, Portugal’s largest insurer, this year in a 1bn deal that signalled its intention to build a long-term international presence.
复星今年斥资10亿欧元控股葡萄牙最大保险公司Fidelidade，表明它构建长期国际影响力的意图。“Fosun deals increasingly need to be thought about in terms of portfolio optimisation as opposed to thinking it is making a quick punt,” said one analyst, who linked its interest in ESS to its participation in April in a TPG-led consortium that won the bidding for US-listed Chinese hospital chain Chindex.
一位分析人士表示：“复星的交易越来越追求投资组合的最优化，而不是快进快出的投机。”他认为，复星对ESS的兴趣与此前一笔交易有关——今年4月，复星曾加入由德州太平洋集团(TPG)牵头的财团，成功收购在美国上市的中国医院连锁美中互利(Chindex)。
