On November 4, MMG fell 3.02% in Regular Trading, trading at HK$6.59, with turnover of HK$50.13 million.

The clearest catalyst was the company’s announcement that the long-stop date for its acquisition of Anglo American’s Brazil nickel business has been extended to December 31 after the European Commission moved the merger review into Phase 2.

Company disclosures said all other conditions have been satisfied, while the EU review is required to conclude by December 21. The extended timetable and unresolved regulatory review have kept pressure on market risk appetite. Separately, MMG’s latest monthly return showed issued share capital remained unchanged at 12,846,422,416 shares as of October 31, indicating no new equity dilution factor behind the move.
