Overview of the Strategic Review
戰(zhàn)略性評估概述
The Joint Announcement marks the conclusion of the independent Strategic Review, first announced on 1 December 2016, which led to the receipt of firm proposals on 30 June 2017.
公司首先于2016年12月1日宣布進(jìn)行獨(dú)立的戰(zhàn)略性評估，并于2017年6月30日收到了確定的提案。今日聯(lián)合公告的發(fā)布標(biāo)志著獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)略性評估的完成。
The Strategic Review was overseen by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of GLP, comprising four independent directors, focused on maximizing value for all shareholders.
由四名獨(dú)立董事組成的普洛斯董事會(huì)專門委員會(huì)對戰(zhàn)略性評估進(jìn)行監(jiān)督，專注于使所有股東價(jià)值最大化。
The Special Committee evaluated the proposals received, taking into consideration a number of factors including price, level of execution risk and expected completion timeframe. After conducting an in-depth and independent review and evaluation of the proposals received, the Special Committee, in consultation with its financial adviser and legal adviser, had recommended the Offeror as the preferred bidder. The proposed Scheme is considered superior due to its (i) price certainty at significant premiums to historical prices; (ii) greater degree of deal certainty due to the limited conditionality of the bid; and (iii) would likely be completed within a defined timeframe which would reduce execution risk. Such recommendation was accepted by the Board of Directors of GLP.
專門委員會(huì)對收到的所有提案進(jìn)行了審查并考慮了多種因素，包括要約價(jià)格、執(zhí)行風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和預(yù)期完成時(shí)間表。專門委員會(huì)在財(cái)務(wù)顧問和法律顧問的協(xié)助下，對收到的提案進(jìn)行深入和獨(dú)立的審查及評估后，建議將要約方列為優(yōu)先競購者。基于以下因素，擬議協(xié)議被認(rèn)為更為優(yōu)越：（i）要約價(jià)格顯著高于歷史股價(jià)；（ii）收購條件有限，極大提高了交易的確定性；及（iii）有望在明確的期限內(nèi)完成交易，降低了執(zhí)行風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。普洛斯的董事會(huì)已接受前述建議。
The Directors of GLP who are considered independent for the purposes of the Scheme (the “Independent Directors”) have received an opinion from GLP’s financial adviser on the Scheme Consideration. The Independent Directors concur with the financial adviser’s opinion that the Scheme Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders. The Independent Directors’ preliminary recommendation is that shareholders vote in favor of the Scheme.
為協(xié)議之目的被視為具有獨(dú)立性的普洛斯董事（下稱“獨(dú)立董事”）已收到了普洛斯財(cái)務(wù)顧問就協(xié)議對價(jià)出具的意見。獨(dú)立董事同意財(cái)務(wù)顧問的意見，認(rèn)為從財(cái)務(wù)的角度，協(xié)議對價(jià)對股東是公平的。獨(dú)立董事初步建議股東投票贊成該協(xié)議。
The Company will appoint an independent financial adviser (the “IFA”) to advise the Independent Directors for the purposes of making a recommendation to shareholders in connection with the Scheme. Details of the Scheme including the Independent Directors’ final recommendation on the Scheme and the IFA’s advice will be included in the Scheme Document, expected to be dispatched to shareholders in due course.
公司將任命一位獨(dú)立財(cái)務(wù)顧問向獨(dú)立董事提供意見，以便獨(dú)立董事向股東提供有關(guān)協(xié)議的建議。獨(dú)立董事關(guān)于協(xié)議的最終建議、獨(dú)立財(cái)務(wù)顧問意見以及其他協(xié)議細(xì)節(jié)將被歸入?yún)f(xié)議文件中，將在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候發(fā)送給股東。
Dr. Seek Ngee Huat, Chairman of GLP’s Board, Chairman of the Special Committee, and Independent Director, said: “The Special Committee, with guidance from our financial adviser J.P. Morgan and legal adviser Allen & Gledhill, conducted an in-depth and independent review in order to achieve the optimal result for all shareholders. After an extensive evaluation of all final proposals received, the Special Committee decided on the proposed Scheme, which we believe is compelling and value-enhancing for all shareholders. We are pleased to announce this Scheme for our shareholders’ consideration.”
普洛斯董事會(huì)主席，專門委員會(huì)主席兼獨(dú)立董事薛義華博士表示：“專門委員會(huì)在財(cái)務(wù)顧問J.P. Morgan和法律顧問Allen & Gledhill的協(xié)助下，開展了深入和獨(dú)立的評估，為所有股東爭取最佳的結(jié)果。專門委員會(huì)在對收到的所有最終提案綜合評估后，選定了擬議協(xié)議。專門委員會(huì)認(rèn)為該協(xié)議具吸引力并能提升所有股東價(jià)值。我們很高興宣布該協(xié)議以供股東考慮。”
