Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASX-NYSE/ADR) issued a press release in Taiwan today stating that the Company has received an indication of interest from a private equity consortium led by The Carlyle Group over a potential offer for all of the outstanding common shares of ASX at a price of NT$39 per share (approximately US$5.94 per ADR).
The group’s bid is not just an outsider bid, and the chances of a deal are pretty high. Jason Chang, the Chairman/CEO of ASX, has agreed to participate as a member of the Consortium and to roll the shares of ASX owned by him and his affiliated holding company (collectively own approximately 18.4% of the shares), into an equity interest in the holding company formed by the Consortium. Chairman Chang has also entered into an exclusivity agreement with the Consortium.
