Linklaters and Slaughter and May advised on USD 4.2 billion Mandarin Oriental Privatisation
The leading global law firms, Linklaters and Slaughter and May, advised on Jardine Matheson Group’s proposed acquisition of all remaining shares of Mandarin Oriental that it does not already own, in a privatisation valued at USD 4.2 billion.
Jardine Matheson currently holds approximately 88% of Mandarin Oriental’s shares and will acquire the remaining 12% through its subsidiary Bidco at USD 3.35 per share. The transaction is expected to take effect on 28 February 2026, following which Mandarin Oriental will be delisted from the stock exchanges in London, Singapore, and Bermuda. Mandarin Oriental operates 43 hotels, 12 residences, and 26 luxury home projects across 27 countries.
The Linklaters team advising Jardine Matheson was led by London-based partners James Inglis and Tom Bishop.
The Slaughter and May team advising the transaction committee of Mandarin Oriental included Hong Kong-based partners Jason Webber and Ben Heron, counsel Stephanie Courtice, and London-based partner Claire Jackson.
