奥地利船用起重机和设备制造商Palfinger Marine已决定放弃收购挪威船舶和海洋工程供应商TTS集团。
今年六月两公司曾宣布：若收购方尽职审查的结果比较乐观，Palfinger将以每股5.60挪威克朗的价格收购TTS。收购交易原计划于今年第四季度完成，最迟不超过2017年1月。2016年7月，Palfinger Marine向TTS集团正式提交了收购意向书。
但TTS周一发表声明称：完成收购交易的条件之一是Palfinger Marine必须购买全面摊薄股权后TSS集团至少90%的股份。但截止2016年8月12日16:30，交易接受期满时，这一条件并不满足。TTS还表示：早前接受收购要约的股东将解除收购约定，已分别与Palfinger达成协议的债券持有人也同样解除协议。
TTS集团首席执行官Toril Eidesvik表示：公司对收购交易未达成颇为意外。接下来TTS将集中精力实施独立自主的发展战略。短期目标是提高公司运营效率。

Austrian crane specialist Palfinger Marine has decided not to complete the planned acquisition of the Norwegian cranes and offshore access systems provider TTS Group.
The pair announced in June this year that Palfinger would offer NOK 5.60 in cash for one TTS share in the event of a positive due diligence outcome. The acquisition was expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter this year, but latest in January 2017. Palfinger Marine officially submitted an offer to acquire TTS Group in July.
According to TTS’ statement on Monday, one of the closing conditions of the acquisition was that Palfinger Marine had to get acceptances for at least 90 per cent of the TTS shares on a fully diluted basis. At the expiry of the acceptance period at 16:30 on 12(th) August 2016 this condition was not fulfilled, TTS said. TTS also said that shareholders that have accepted the offer are released from their acceptances, and the same applies to bondholders that have entered into separate undertakings towards Palfinger.
“We are surprised that the transaction will not be completed. We will now fully concentrate our energy on executing our stand-alone strategy. Short term focus will be on operational efficiency,” says Toril Eidesvik, CEO of TTS Group.
