Relatively unusual for RTO deals, the acquirer, in this case, Alpha DX, will bear the professional fees and other costs related to the proposed transaction.
In case the deal wasn't given the necessary regulatory go-ahead, the vendors of Shanghai Kedong will pick up the tab.
Alpha DX says that the deal is conditional on Shanghai Kedong achieving certain financial targets, including net profit after tax of not less than RMB7.1 million for its FY2023, and not less than RMB14.2 million for 1HFY2024.
