利亞零售(00831.HK)擬逾27億售OK便利店業務 派每股特別息3.85元
阿思達克 11-05 08:31
利亞零售(00831.HK)公布,計劃向加拿大多倫多證券交易所上市的便利店營運商ACT(Alimentation Couche-Tard ),出售集團旗下便利店業務(即是OK便利店),現金代價為27.9億元。公司指,目標集團的營運資金約為負5.1億港元,預期將錄得出售事項之收益約29億元,擬動用全部出售事項所得款項淨額派付特別現金股息,每股股份3.85元。

截至本公佈日期,目標集團於香港經營約340家OK便利店。買方ACT於多倫多證券交易所上市,主要以「Couche-Tard」和「Circle K」品牌從事便利店及道路運輸燃油零售相關業務,在全球擁有近14,350個經營點。

據ACT授予的特許權協議,利亞零售於1985年在香港以「OK便利店」品牌開始經營便利店業務。隨著ACT授予的特許權協議臨近到期日,管理層團隊已考慮了便利店業務的各種策略替代方案,其中包括但不限於可能與ACT續簽特許權協議或出售便利店業務。與此同時,董事會收到ACT提出的有利建議,將便利店業務出售給ACT。

利亞零售解釋,由於香港近期的社會及經濟發展促使公司的管理團隊以考量目標客戶基礎,來審視香港便利店業務之長期策略選項、以及便利店業務在香港和香港以外的未來投資需要。另一方面,公司認為,剩餘集團的品牌(聖安娜、Mon cher和Zoff)更適合利用互聯網及線上平台,對中等收入客戶群更具吸引力,並且更少依賴物流設置以及供應鏈基礎設施。
