In making their recommendation, the Independent Directors have carefully considered a full range of expert advice available to them. Therefore you should take no action. The principal reasons for recommending that shareholders do not accept are: _ Having regard to a full range of expert advice now available to the Independent Directors (including the Independent Adviser’s valuation range of $1.28 to $1.57 per FPA Share), the Independent Directors consider that the Offer of $1.20 per FPA Share does not adequately reflect their view of the value of FPA based on their confidence in the strategic direction of the Company; and _ FPA is in a strong financial position and, as the Independent Adviser notes, FPA is at a “relatively early stage of implementation of the company’s comprehensive rebuilding strategy”.

AMBA 660 Case Study Haier's North America
AMBA 660 Case Study Haier’s North America Expansion Mohamed Ezz, MD, DM (UMUC) Collegiate Professor, Business and Management Department University of Maryland University College Haier Group www.haier.com Reuters: “Haier Group said it would buy General Electric Co.'s appliance business for $5.4 billion, the Chinese company's latest attempt to boost its presence in the lucrative United States market. Haier, which made an abortive attempt in 2008 to buy the business, has a negligible presence in the U.S. white goods market, dominated by Whirlpool Corp, Sweden's Electrolux AB and GE. The news comes weeks after GE walked away from a deal to sell the business to Electrolux for $3.3 billion, following months of opposition from U.S. antitrust regulators. The deal with Haier is unlikely to draw intense antitrust scrutiny, according to some antitrust experts, but may get a hard look from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)” (Ajmera, 2016, para 1-4) Chinese Companies Going Global China is rising as a globally influential economic and political power. China has achieved an average growth rate of almost 10% over the past 20 years, making it one of the world’s largest economies and trading powers. This rapid economic development has enhanced China’s international competitiveness. Chinese blue chip companies have realized the limitations of their local market, and worked on becoming global players. Many of these companies have quietly started their own international expansion; examples include Haier, HiSense, ad Gree. And while the Chinese government encourages the global expansion of Chinese companies, it has not yet developed policies and frameworks to govern such expansion.
