Yes bonkers, if/when BCN goes through gangfeng will own the stake. I don’t see a way that the germans let the chinese own the major lithium mine in their own backyard, gangfeng won’t want to be forced to sell on the cheap, so imagine there will be a block sale with JV to an OEM and a premium. Block buyer will be happy to pay a premium as they wouldn’t be able to accumulate that many shares on the open market. Centerbridge and henry maxey are no dummies either and they own a significant chunk between them, they will be involved. Maybe even centerbridge buys it and tries to take the company private. Again I can’t see the germans going for that, having an ‘evil american vulture fund’ controlling their lithium.
BTW The comparisons with BCN need to stop; their asset is in mexico in a state ruled by organised crime. ZNWD is in saxony…the rule of law is somewhat more adhered to….
There is a long way to go with this.
