Diageo reaches agreement to become majority shareholder in Joint Venture
Chinese White Spirits company
Diageo has today entered into an equity transfer agreement to acquire an additional 4% stake ("the 4% transfer") in Sichuan Chengdu Quanxing Group Company Ltd. ("Quanxing") from Chengdu Yingsheng Investment Holding Co., Ltd ("Yingsheng"). This 4% transfer, which is subject to a number of regulatory approvals, would bring Diageo's shareholding in Quanxing to 53%. Quanxing is a holding company controlling a 39.7% stake in Sichuan Shui Jing Fang Co., Ltd. ("ShuiJingFang"), a leading super premium Chinese white spirits company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.  If the 4% transfer is approved, Diageo would become the indirect controlling shareholder of ShuiJingFang. The consideration for the 4% transfer is approximately £14 million (RMB 139.7million).
In accordance with Chinese takeover regulations, were Diageo to become the indirect controlling shareholder in ShuiJingFang, Diageo would be required to make a mandatory tender offer to all the other shareholders of ShuiJingFang. Diageo will not become the indirect controlling shareholder in ShuiJingFang until all relevant regulatory approvals for the 4% transfer have been obtained. This is not expected to be before the second half of this calendar year. However an Indicative Announcement of Diageo's intention to launch such a mandatory tender offer upon confirmation of all relevant regulatory approvals is published in China today. As part of the Indicative Announcement the mandatory tender offer price for ShuiJingFang has been set at the minimum price permitted by the Chinese mandatory offer regulations of RMB 21.45 per share. Were there to be full acceptance under the mandatory tender offer, the amount payable would be approximately £610 million. As required by PRC law, 20% of the maximum consideration payable under the tender offer (£122 million) has been deposited with China's securities depositary and clearing agency, the CSDCC, Shanghai Branch.
Paul Walsh, Chief Executive of Diageo, said:
 
 
 
 
 
'This transaction provides Diageo with the platform to participate at scale and grow share in the largest, most profitable and fastest growing spirits segment in China, super premium Chinese white spirits.
'This is an important and unusual transaction, providing as it does for the increased involvement of a global company in a category with unique heritage. It is Diageo's intention to maintain ShuiJingFang's public listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange although this is subject to the outcome of the MTO, and to continue to work with our Chinese partners, the existing ShuiJingFang management and Yingsheng shareholders.
'Over the last three years we have built an excellent relationship with our partners in the Quanxing Group and ShuiJingFang, both through our support to the development of their business in China and with the launch of Shanghai White in Hong Kong. The transaction we have announced today will enhance this. Diageo now has a valuable opportunity to build a substantial presence in super premium Chinese white spirits and it will enable us to bring one of the leading Chinese white spirits brands to international markets.'

Editor notes
ShuiJingFang is the fourth largest super premium Chinese white spirits brand by volume in China. The company is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (600779)
Diageo made its first 43% investment in Quanxing in February 2007 and increased its shareholding to 49% in July 2008. Since then, Diageo has begun distributing the ShuiJingFang portfolio across South East Asia and recently launched the super premium vodka Shanghai White in Hong Kong.
The maximum £610 million MTO cost are calculated as follows: offer price x maximum number of shares that can be tendered / by GBP/RMB exchange rate: RMB 21.45 x 294.5 million shares/10.3558 being the current exchange rate. The offer price is the regulatory minimum price set at the 30 day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") prior to the Indicative Announcement today.

ShuiJingFang shareholders are urged to read any documents regarding the potential mandatory tender offer as they become available, because they will contain important information about the offer.  Investors will be able to obtain a copy of such documents from ShuiJingFang's website: http://www.swellfun.com/.
