前程无忧（51job）宣布股东批准与Garnet Faith Limited的合并协议
2022年4月27日，中国领先的综合人力资源服务提供商51job，Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：JOBS）宣布，在今天举行的特别股东大会上，公司股东投票赞成授权和批准先前宣布的51job与Garnet Faith Limited的修订合并协议的提议。
该集团最初在2021年6月21日宣布了与Garnet Faith Limited的合并计划。2022年3月1日，51job与Garnet Faith签订了一份修订的合并协议，将原来的合并对价从每股普通股79.05美元的现金减少到每股普通股57.25美元的现金。而后宣布了一个价格是61美元/股，高于57.25美元/股。Garnet Faith 表示，其提案的变化是“鉴于中国（中华人民共和国）最近围绕国家安全、网络安全和数据安全的立法和监管发展广为人知，并为了增加关闭的确定性在遵守所有适用的中国法律的情况下及时进行交易。”
在修订后的合并协议中，Garnet Faith将与51job合并，而51job是存续公司。该交易意味着51job的股权价值约为43亿美元，折合61美元/股。其中该公司将被一个投资者财团收购。
本公司已发行普通股总数的约76%，包括本公司美国存托股票（"ADS"）所代表的普通股，在特别股东大会上亲自或由代理人投票。每位股东对每股普通股有一个投票权。这些股份约占2022年4月14日记录日在开曼群岛营业结束时本公司已发行的普通股总数所代表的未投票权的76%。
合并协议、合并计划和由此产生的交易，包括合并，在特别股东大会上获得了约93%的总票数的批准。
合并的完成取决于合并协议中规定的条件是否得到满足或放弃。51job将与合并协议的其他各方合作，努力满足合并协议中规定的所有其他合并先决条件，并尽快完成合并。如果合并完成后，公司将成为一家私人控股公司，其美国存托股票将不再在任何证券交易所（包括纳斯达克全球精选市场）上市或交易，公司的美国存托股票计划将被终止。
该合并目前预计将在2022年上半年完成，并受制于常规的成交条件。
