海航成爲德意志銀行最大股東
HNA Group has raised its stake in Deutsche Bank to almost 10 per cent, making the Chinese conglomerate the top shareholder in Germany’s largest lender.
海航集團(HNA Group)已將所持有的德意志銀行(Deutsche Bank)股份增至近10%，令這家中國集團成爲這個德國最大銀行的頭號股東。A filing made on Tuesday by entities including C-Quadrat — an asset manager through which HNA had already purchased a 4.76 per cent stake in Deutsche — showed the Chinese group had now acquired an aggregate 204.7m of 2.06bn shares outstanding in the German bank.
週二由包括C-Quadrat在內的機構提交的文件顯示，這家中國集團目前累計已購入德意志銀行20.6億股發行股票中的2.047億股。C-Quadrat是一家資產管理公司，此前海航已通過該公司買入了德意志銀行4.76%的股份。The purchase took HNA’s stake to 9.92 per cent, leapfrogging BlackRock’s 5.88 per cent holding to make it the top shareholder in the German bank.
這輪收購令海航持有的股份達到9.92%，超過貝萊德(BlackRock)5.88%的持股比例，成爲德意志銀行第一大股東。
The Chinese conglomerate began life in 1989 as a regional airline but has in recent years transformed itself into a sprawling holding company, with a reputation as China’s most omnipresent overseas acquirer.
1989年成立時，海航集團只是一家地區性航空公司。然而，最近幾年該集團已將自身變爲一個四處擴張的控股公司，以中國最無處不在的境外收購者聞名。
HNA ranked top among Chinese outbound investors so far this year, sealing $5.5bn in deals or about 13 per cent of Chinese overseas transactions by value prior to the latest Deutsche Bank purchase, according to data from Dealogic. Last year, it ranked second with 12 per cent, including purchases made through entities that it controls.
根據Dealogic的數據，海航是今年到目前爲止排名第一的中國對外投資者，在對德意志銀行最新這輪收購之前，海航敲定了55億美元的收購交易，約佔中國境外交易規模的13%。去年，算上通過海航控制的機構開展的收購，海航以12%的比例排名第二。The Chinese conglomerate, which has stakes in airlines, hotels, banks and logistics companies, said upon taking an initial stake in February that it was a passive investor in response to concerns from investors that HNA would seek to take a strategic role in the lender.
海航集團持股的企業包括航空公司、旅館、銀行和物流公司。今年2月最初收購德意志銀行股權時，海航曾表示它只是個被動投資者，以迴應投資者認爲海航或尋求扮演該行戰略角色的擔憂。
