Bloomberg reported that Global Logistic Properties Ltd., the Singapore warehouse operator, accepted a $16b ($11.6b) takeover offer from a management-backed Chinese consortium that includes private equity firms Hillhouse Capital Management and Hopu Investment Management.
The group, which also includes founder Ming Mei’s SMG, Bank of China Group Investment and a unit of China Vanke Co., offered S$3.38 a share.
