彭博訊: 李嘉誠22億美元競得澳洲供氣管道運營商 SCMP: Li firms set to take over Envestra as rival bidder sells them its shares
（彭博訊）億萬富豪李嘉誠旗下的財團成為澳大利亞天然氣分銷 商Envestra Ltd.競購戰的贏家。之前一位競購對手稱將出售在Envestra 的持股，來支持該財團24億澳元(22億美元)的收購報價。
總部位於悉尼、持有Envestra其約三分之一股份的APA Group今天發布公 告稱，將支持由長江基建等李嘉誠麾下公司所組成財團提出的每股1.32澳 元的收購報價。APA稱，將把出售Envestra股權獲得的4.30億澳元稅前利 潤用於公司未來12-18個月的擴張。
Envestra擁有長達23,000公里的供氣管道，其客戶集中在維多利亞州和南 澳大利亞州。
李嘉誠的財團在另外一份公告中稱，目前其收購要約是無條件的，將於8 月21日關閉。香港時間上午11:55，長江基建股票上漲0.5%至55.40港元。
Li Ka-shing's consortium will acquire Envestra for A$784 million.
The main obstacle has been cleared for a consortium controlled by Li Ka-shing, Asia’s richest man, to acquire Envestra, one of Australia’s largest distributors of natural gas.
APA, Australia’s largest natural gas infrastructure company, has abandoned its own takeover bid and agreed to sell its one-third stake in Envestra to the consortium at its cash offer price of A$1.32 (HK$9.53) per share, Envestra announced on the Australian stock exchange website on Thursday morning.
