Sundance Expects Suitor Hanlong to Fail Meeting Takeover Bid Approval Deadline

By

Australia's Sundance Resources is expecting that its suitor Hanlong would not be able to show credit approval on deadline for its $1.4 billion takeover offer.

Both Sundance Resources and Hanlong have decided on whether or not they would not pursue the deal following a Chinese media report revealing that Hanlong Mining Chairman Liu Han will be investigated by the police for harboring his younger brother, who is a suspect to a murder.

The detention of Lui was a new setback in the takeover deal which was first announced in October 2011 when Hanlong purchased a 14% stake in Sundance, aiming the company for its Mbalam iron ore project worth $4.7 billion in Africa.

The deal had been delayed after some executives of Hanlong in Australia were charged with insider trading.
