Fosun in bidding for Forbes Media

Spurred by the news that it has entered the second-round bidding for Forbes Media LLCHongKong-listed Fosun International saw its share price hit a six-year high to close on Thursday atHK$8.55 ($1.10).

Forbes Mediawhich publishes Forbes magazine and forbes.comhas been seeking a potentialbuyer since last NovemberA total of 18 bids were made for the media groupSix competitorsare on the shortlist nowincluding two Chinese companiesFosun and G2 Whale Capital Group,the Financial Times reported.

The preliminary offers of the six bidders range from $350 million to $475 millionDeutsche Bankis authorized to run the auction processadded the report.

According to a source quoted by the Shanghai-based Oriental Morning Postthere are twofactors that will lead Fosun International to outbid other rivals.

"One is the profit growth rate of Forbes Media can maintain 10 to 20 percent and the other is themedia group can make some breakthroughs in the mainland market," said the sourceaddingthat the second target is hard to achieve because they cannot issue serial publications in themainland market without getting a CN number (equivalent of the International Standard SerialNumber).

But Fosun Internationala conglomerate that seeks diversification of its investmentshas built astable cooperation with Forbes Media.

In April 2009, the Shanghai-based investment group joined hands with Forbes Media to issue theChinese-version Forbes magazine in the mainland marketWithout a CN numberthey can onlygive copies away free of charge.

But Fosun has rapidly reversed the loss-making situation of Forbes in the mainland market andeven posted a profit of "millions of yuanin the third yearwhich resulted from running theprofitable Forbes forum.

Experts said the deal could be complicated for Fosun because traditional print media is fading inthe digital media boom.
