China's Midea Group (000333.SZ) on Wednesday said it offered to buy German industrial robot maker Kuka AG (KU2G.DE) for 115 euros a share in cash to expand its know-how in robotics for general industry and logistics applications.
Kuka Rick Barry Jersey , one of the world's leading robot suppliers in automotive manufacturing, is the second German logistics company to attract interest from Chinese investors, after Weichai Power (000338.SZ) took a 25 percent stake Kion (KGX.DE) in 2012.
Midea's offer values Kuka at around 4.5 billion euros and represents a premium of 36 percent to the Kuka share price of 84.41 euros at close on Tuesday.
Kuka shares rose 35 percent to a record high of 114 euros on Wednesday on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Analysts said the takeover price may be attractive enough to persuade established anchor shareholders like Voith to sell.
Augusburg-based Kuka currently has three large shareholders including Friedhelm Loh, a German entrepreneur who owns 10 percent Chris Mullin Jersey , and Voith Group which holds 25.1 percent.
"With today's offer Midea is in our view providing a highly attractive exit for a broad variety of shareholders," analysts at Equinet said on a note on Wednesday.
Midea said it had a 13.5 percent stake in Kuka and was seeking to become the largest shareholder by raising its stake beyond 30 percent.
Under German takeover rules, any bidder seeking control of more than 30 percent in a listed company must make a mandatory offer to all shareholders.
Kuka was not immediately available for comment.
Midea said it had confidence in Kuka's current management and intended to leave it in charge of running the company on a day to day basis.
"KUKA is in excellent condition today and we are committed to investing in KUKA's employees, brand Draymond Green Warriors Jersey , intellectual property and facilities to further support the company's development," Midea Chairman and Chief Executive Paul Fang said in a statement.
The Chinese industrial group further said it had no plans to delist the German company, or to implement a so-called profit transfer and domination agreement.
Midea Group raised its stake in Kuka to 10.2 percent in February, saying at the time that it wanted to further increase its shareholding.
Midea's move is part of a wave of Chinese investments in Germany.
In January a consortium led by state-owned ChemChina agreed to buy industrial machinery maker KraussMaffei Group for about $1 billion. Sany Heavy Industry Co Ltd (600031.SS) bought concrete pump maker Putzmeister Holding GmbH for $698 million in 2012.
