IAG SEP 2019年9月 亞博匯 15 SILVER HERITAGE CONSIDERING US$34 MILLION OFFER TO BUY ALL NEPAL ASSETS SILVER HERITAGE考慮以3400萬 美元出售其所有尼泊爾資產 AUSTRALIAN -listed Silver Heritage Group has moved one step closer to selling off its Nepal integrated resort, Tiger Palace Resort Bhairahawa, after confirming it has received a conditional, binding offer. The offer, from a Mr Indra Bahadur Thapa, would see him acquire the company’s Nepal operations at an enterprise value of US$33.9 million by taking ownership of the local Silver Heritage subsidiary holding its Nepal assets for US$20 million. The deal would see US$20 million paid in cash with Thapa also taking on a US$13.9 million lending facility with a consortium of Nepalese banks, the company said. Silver Heritage said the sale was dependent upon Thapa depositing US$3 million into an escrow account by 15 August, after which time he would be given 30 days to conduct due diligence. Explaining its reasons for contemplating the sale, Silver Heritage stated, “After careful analysis, in which the Board of the company considered the terms of the offer, including the absence of a superior offer, and in conjunction with the material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern as disclosed by the company, the Board has therefore decided to grant the buyer the right to conduct due diligence and exclusivity … to facilitate definitive transaction documentation.” 於 澳洲上市的Silver Heritage Group向出售其尼泊爾綜合度假村 Tiger Palace Resort Bhairahawa又邁進一步。該集團已證實收到 一份有條件及具約束力的報價。 該收購要約由Indra Bahadur Thapa做出。其將以3390萬美 元取得公司於尼泊爾的運營業務，包括取得Silver Heritage公司 尼泊爾子公司所有權及其旗下價值2000萬美元的尼泊爾資產。該 公司表示，與Thapa的交易將包括2000萬美元的現金支付交易， 及Thapa與一間尼泊爾銀行財團達成的1390萬美元貸款協議。 Silver Heritage在一份公告中稱，這筆交易將取決於Thapa 能否在8月15日之前將300萬美元存入一個託管賬戶，之後他將有 30天的時間進行盡職調查。 Silver Heritage在解釋其考慮出售的理由時說：「公司董事會 審議了收購要約的條款，包括沒有更優惠的報價，和與事件或條 件相關的重大不確定性及可能會對公司持續經營能力產生重大 疑問，經過仔細分析，董事會決定授予進行盡職調查和排他性的 權利……以促成最終交易的達成。」
