海航被指提供不實信息
Switzerland’s takeover watchdog said that Chinese conglomerate HNA provided “untrue or incomplete” information regarding its ownership when it acquired air services company Gategroup for SFr1.4bn last year.
瑞士的併購監管部門表示，中國綜合企業海航集團(HNA Group)去年以14億瑞士法郎收購航空服務公司佳美集團(Gategroup)時，對自己的所有權結構提供了“不真實或不完整的”信息。HNA has spent more than $40bn on overseas acquisitions during the past three years but the true ownership of the company is still shrouded in mystery.
過去三年，海航在海外收購上的花費超過400億美元，但該公司真正的所有權結構仍然籠罩在神祕之中。In recent months, regulators in China have also raised concerns over the level of leverage accrued by HNA and other aggressive corporate acquirers.
最近幾個月，中國監管部門也對海航和另外幾家積極收購的企業的槓桿水平越來越高表示擔憂。
The Swiss Takeover Board, citing several FT articles, has homed in on the declared holdings of two shareholders in the group, calling information that the company originally provided “untrue or incomplete”.
瑞士併購委員會(Swiss Takeover Board)引用英國《金融時報》的幾篇報道，對該集團宣稱的兩名股東的持股情況進行了覈查，稱海航起初提供的信息“不真實或不完整”。In its prospectus for the buyout of Gategroup in May 2016, HNA said Bharat Bhise and Guan Jun held 17.40 per cent and 12.35 per cent of the company respectively. However, following several new disclosures in 2017, the group has said the two individuals owned 17.15 per cent and 12.01 per cent.
海航在2016年5月收購佳美集團的說明書中稱，巴拉特?拜斯(Bharat Bhise)和貫君分別持有該公司17.40%和12.35%的股權。然而，在2017年披露新信息時，該集團聲稱二人當時分別持有17.15%和12.01%的股權。
The statement from the takeover board also said that Mr Bhise and Mr Guan held the stakes as trustees for the co-founders of HNA, another piece of information that the company should have disclosed when it tendered the offer for Gategroup.
瑞士併購委員會的聲明還表示，拜斯和貫君當時作爲海航共同創始人的受託人持有股份，該公司應該在發出收購佳美集團的要約時披露這一信息。In response to the discrepancies in information, the board has asked EY to examine whether best price rules were followed during the buyout. It has also asked HNA to pay a fee of SFr50,000 ($51,000) for the cost of the proceedings.
由於海航前後披露的信息存在差異，瑞士併購委員會要求安永(EY)覈查該收購交易是否遵循了最佳價格規則。該委員會還要求海航支付5萬瑞士法郎（合5.1萬美元）的調查費用。HNA said in a statement: “We co-operated fully with the Swiss Takeover Board’s inquiry, and we respect its authority in this matter.”
海航在聲明中表示：“我們會全力配合瑞士併購委員會的調查，我們尊重它在該問題上的權威。”
