31 Dec 2018capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

Morgan Stanley partly exercised the over-allotment option for 4,361,900 new shares at HK$23.48, and the stabilisation period ended 29 December. Share count rises to about 1,320.4m; Yanzhou's stake dips to 62.26%.

24 Dec 2018capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

The retail shortfall bookbuild failed to clear at HK$23.48, so no shortfall shares were sold or issued and non-participating holders get nothing for their entitlements. This ends the roughly HK$1.41 billion offer. Retail take-up was small, about HK$13.2 million.

20 Dec 2018capital raising announcement● Neutral

The retail part of the entitlement offer closed 18 December with just over HK$13.2 million of acceptances. About 7.7 million unclaimed shares go to a shortfall bookbuild on 21 December, at the same HK$23.48 price. Settlement is due 27 December.

6 Dec 2018capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor

Institutional entitlement offer completed and Hong Kong trading began 6 December. Yanzhou, China Shandong Investment and Cinda renounced their rights (about 87.8% of the total) to Global Offering investors, so they are likely diluted (inference). Yanzhou and Yankuang face HK lock-ups; retail offer opens 7 December.

Yancoal lodged a second post-hearing information pack with HKEx on 22 November. Raising terms are due in the prospectus around 26 November. Existing holders can take part pro rata, and the listing still needs final HKEx approval and suitable markets.

2 July 2018capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor

Yancoal issued 23.46bn entitlement shares (US$2.35bn) and 1.5bn placement shares (US$150m) at US$0.10, plus 18.0bn shares to Yanzhou on converting its notes. Shares on issue rise from 994 million to 43.96bn, heavily diluting holders who did not take up.

The entitlement offer closed raising about US$1,004m at US$0.10 a share, with existing holders taking up 42.8%. The shortfall bookbuild drew only about US$59m and did not clear, so underwriters take about US$1,284m and no premium is payable to renouncing holders.

Letter to shareholders on the entitlement offer: about 23.46bn new shares at US$0.10, a 67.9% discount to the 31 July close. Record date 7 August. Underwriters are Shandong Lucion, Glencore and Cinda's fund; Yanzhou takes about US$1bn. Repeats known terms.

What it means for a shareholder

23.46bn new shares at US$0.100 to raise about US$2.35bn. Shares on issue before the raise aren't in the record, so the dilution can't be worked out.

Notes offer to eligible shareholders closed, raising about US$1.8bn gross, including Yanzhou's US$1.8bn commitment. About US$507.6m of entitlements go to a shortfall bookbuild on 23 December, so the offer falls well short of the up-to-US$2.3bn target. This confirms minority holders took up very little.
