China Resources Enterprise Ltd. leapt to an 18-month high in Hong Kong trading after the state-backed brewer said it will increase a special dividend as its parent offered HK$2 billion ($258 million) more to buy its assets than initially agreed.
The assets, which include its money-losing retail venture with Tesco Plc, will be sold for HK$30 billion, the company said in a statement Thursday to the city’s stock exchange. The dividend will be raised to HK$12.30 from HK$11.50 a share.
