De cijfers lijken erg solide en helemaal aan het einde van het PB dan toch nog een mededeling over het potentiele bod op ASM PT waarin ze een belang van 25% hebben.
On 14 October 2024, ASMPT issued a possible offer announcement (the “Rule 3.7
Announcement”) pursuant to Rule 3.7 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the
“Code”). As this announcement is made after the Rule 3.7 Announcement and therefore during
the offer period for the purposes of the Code, the unaudited profit and loss figures contained in
this announcement are regarded as profit forecasts under Rule 10 of the Code, and need to be
reported on by ASMPT’s auditors or accountants and ASMPT’s financial advisers with such
reports included in this announcement, and this announcement should contain a statement that
the profit forecasts have been reported on in accordance with the Code and that the reports have
been lodged with the Executive Director of the Corporate Finance Division of the Securities and
Futures Commission (the “Executive”).
As the offer period only recently commenced on 14 October 2024, ASMPT’s auditors and financial
advisers require additional time to complete their work and issue the reports. ASMPT expects that
the reports will be included in a further announcement made by ASMPT on or before 11 November
2024. ASMPT would therefore like to draw the attention of ASMPT’s shareholders and potential
investors to the fact that this announcement does not meet the standard required by, and has not
been reported on in accordance with, Rule 10 of the Code. ASMPT’s shareholders and potential
investors should exercise caution in placing reliance on the relevant profit forecasts, when
assessing the merits and demerits of any transaction that may take place in the context of the
Rule 3.7 Announcement and when dealing in ASMPT’s securities.
