奧地利船用起重機和設備制造商Palfinger Marine已決定放棄收購挪威船舶和海洋工程供應商TTS集團。
今年六月兩公司曾宣布：若收購方盡職審查的結果比較樂觀，Palfinger將以每股5.60挪威克朗的價格收購TTS。收購交易原計劃于今年第四季度完成，最遲不超過2017年1月。2016年7月，Palfinger Marine向TTS集團正式提交了收購意向書。
但TTS周一發表聲明稱：完成收購交易的條件之一是Palfinger Marine必須購買全面攤薄股權后TSS集團至少90%的股份。但截止2016年8月12日16:30，交易接受期滿時，這一條件并不滿足。TTS還表示：早前接受收購要約的股東將解除收購約定，已分別與Palfinger達成協議的債券持有人也同樣解除協議。
TTS集團首席執行官Toril Eidesvik表示：公司對收購交易未達成頗為意外。接下來TTS將集中精力實施獨立自主的發展戰略。短期目標是提高公司運營效率。

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.
