格隆汇11月25日丨招商局港口(00144.HK)公布，于2019年11月25日，公司与CMA CGM订立综合协议备忘录，据此，Terminal Link拟自CMA CGM及其联属人士收购10个码头组合的权益，总代价为9.55亿美元。
为对该建议收购事项进行融资，公司建议认购由TerminalLink发行并以美元计值的强制性可换股债券，金额最多为4.68亿美元，票面利率为6.0%，及公司授予Terminal Link本金额最多5亿美元，利率为6.0%(扣除所有税项)的8年期有抵押定期贷款融资。总额最多为9.68亿美元。
据悉，Terminal Link的主要业务活动为提供海运码头服务。公司透过其间接全资附属公司拥有49%股权， 而CMA CGM透过其全资附属公司拥有51%股权。于公告日期，Terminal Link于遍布四大洲、位处八个国 家(法国、摩洛哥、马尔他、美国、象牙海岸共和国、比利时、希腊及南韩)的 13个码头拥有不同水平的股权。交易完成后，Terminal Link将于服务亚洲、欧洲、中东及加勒比等各地区的23个码头组合拥有不同水平的股权。
董事认为建议交易让集团能透过Terminal Link投资于该组合，与集团策略一致，并标志着集团向扩展其国际业务版图迈出重要一步。根据建议交易，Terminal Link将向CMA CGM收购一系列位于亚洲、欧洲、中东及加勒比等多个地区的集装箱港口，其各自拥有强劲的增长潜力。此外，董事认为集团与CMA CGM透过Terminal Link建立的战略关系将支援集团的长期增长及日后发展。
集团相信，Terminal Link涉足新兴市场的码头及其潜在新项目储备，是其未来业务量增长及财务回报的另一推动力。
另一方面，集团预期其现有的中国及全球码头业务网络(以及因而取得的货流业务)将可能补足及补充CMA CGM及Terminal Link提供的服务，从而为集团、CMA CGM及Terminal Link，以及集团、CMA CGM及Terminal Link各自的航运客户创造协同利益。
