Qunar could follow eLong’s lead and go private
Jun 23.2016

Chinese OTA Qunar has received a “going private” offer from a unit of Chinese travel investment specialists Ocean Imagination.

The offer of $10.12 per ordinary share is a 15% premium on the previous closing price. Qunar has a market cap of around $3.8 billion.

The offer comes from Ocean Management, “an entity related to Ocean Imagination”. Ocean Imagination was part of the consortium which took eLong private earlier this year.

Ctrip and Tencent were also part of that group. Ctrip of course owns 45% of Qunar after the share swap with Baidu last year. However, it looks as if the current offer comes from Ocean on its own rather than a group of investors.

And Ocean says that it “intends to seek the support of the company’s shareholders accounting for a majority in voting power for this proposal…”

As usual in these cases, Qunar has formed a committee to consider the non-binding proposal.

Qunar Enters into Definitive Merger Agreement for Going Private Transaction


BEIJING, Oct. 19, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Qunar Cayman Islands Limited (NASDAQ:QUNR) (“Qunar” or the “Company”), China’s leading mobile and online travel platform, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ocean Management Holdings Limited (“Parent”) and Ocean Management Merger Sub Limited (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to which Qunar will be acquired by Parent in a transaction implying an equity value of the Company of approximately $4.44 billion.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each ordinary share of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (each a “Share”) will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive $10.13 in cash without interest, and each American depositary share (each an “ADS”) of the Company, representing three Shares, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive $30.39 in cash without interest, except for (a) (i) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) beneficially owned by each of Ctrip.com International, Ltd. (“Ctrip”), M Strat Holdings, L.P., Momentum Strategic Holdings, L.P. and certain other minority existing shareholders (the “Rollover Shareholders”), (ii) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) held by Parent, the Company or any of their subsidiaries, and (iii) Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) held by the Depositary and reserved for the issuance and allocation pursuant to the Company’s 2007 and 2015 share incentive plans, each of which will be cancelled and cease to exist without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor, and (b) Shares held by shareholders who have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the merger pursuant to Section 238 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands (the “Dissenting Shares”), which will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive the payment of appraised fair value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 238 of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands.

The merger consideration represents a premium of approximately 15% to the closing price of the Company’s ADSs on June 22, 2016, the last trading day prior to the Company’s announcement of its receipt of a “going-private” proposal.

Immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Parent will be beneficially owned by Ocean Management Limited, Ctrip and the other Rollover Shareholders. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a committee of independent and disinterested directors established by the Board (the “Special Committee”), approved the Merger Agreement and the merger and resolved to recommend that the Company’s shareholders vote to authorize and approve the Merger Agreement and the merger. The Special Committee negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors.

The merger, which is currently expected to close during the first half of 2017, is subject to customary closing conditions including the approval of the Merger Agreement and the merger by the affirmative vote of holders of Shares representing at least two-thirds of the voting power of the Shares present and voting in person or by proxy at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders convened to consider the approval of the Merger Agreement and the merger. The Rollover Shareholders have agreed to vote all of the Shares and ADSs they beneficially own, which represent approximately 94.3% of the voting power of the Shares outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement, in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement and the merger. If completed, the merger will result in the Company becoming a privately-owned company and its ADSs will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
