https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2022/05/05/ statement-on-behalf-of-mr-abramovich Statement on behalf of Mr Abramovich 05 May 2022 Following speculation in media in relation to the sale of Chelsea FC, we would like to clarify the following points... 关於媒体对切尔西俱乐部出售的猜测，我们想澄清以下几点…… https://i.imgur.com/WSCja9s.jpg Firstly, Mr Abramovich's intentions in relation to gifting the proceeds from the Chelsea sale to charity have not changed. 首先，阿布拉莫维奇先生将切尔西出售所得捐赠给慈善机构的意图没有改变。 Since the initial announcement, Mr Abramovich's team has identified senior representatives from UN bodies and large global charitable organizations who have been tasked with forming a Foundation and setting out a plan for its activities. The lead independent expert has had conversations with Government representatives presenting the structure and initial plans. 最初的声明发布之後，阿布拉莫维奇先生的团队已经确认了相关高级代表来自联合国 机构和大型全球慈善组织，他们的任务是成立一个基金会，制定活动计划。首席独立 专家已经同政府代表进行了会谈，介绍了结构和初步计划。 Mr Abramovich has not been involved in this work and it has been managed independently by experts with years of experience working in humanitarian organizations. 阿布拉莫维奇先生没有参与这项工作，而是由在人道主义组织工作多年的专家独立进 行管理。 Secondly, Mr Abramovich has not asked for any loan to be repaid to him – such suggestions are entirely false – as are suggestions that Mr Abramovich increased the price of the Club last minute. As part of Mr Abramovich's objective to find a good custodian for Chelsea FC, he has however encouraged each bidder throughout this process to commit investing in the Club – including in the Academy, Women's team, necessary redevelopment of the stadium as well as maintaining the work of Chelsea Foundation. 其次，阿布拉莫维奇先生并没有要求偿还他的任何贷款，这种说法完全是错误的。关 於阿布拉莫维奇先生在最後一刻提高了俱乐部售价的说法也是错误的。阿布拉莫维奇 先生希望为切尔西俱乐部找到一个好的管理人，在整个竞标过程中，他鼓励每一位竞 标者承诺投资俱乐部，包括青训营、女足、体育场的必要重建以及切尔西基金会的维 护工作。 Following sanctions and other restrictions imposed on Mr Abramovich by the UK since announcing that the Club would be sold, the loan has also become subject to EU sanctions, requiring additional approvals. That means that the funds will be frozen and subject to a legal procedure governed by authorities. These funds are still earmarked for the Foundation. The Government are aware of these restrictions as well as the legal implications. 自宣布出售俱乐部以来，英国政府对阿布拉莫维奇先生实施了制裁和其他限制，这笔 贷款也受到了欧盟的制裁，需要获得额外的批准，意味着这笔资金将被冻结，同时受 到相关机构管辖的法律程序的约束。这笔资金仍将指定用於基金会，政府知道其中的 限制以及法律含义。 To be clear, Mr Abramovich has no access or control of these funds and will not have any access or control of these funds following the sale. Despite the changing circumstances since his initial announcement – he remains committed to finding a good custodian for Chelsea FC and making sure the proceeds go to good causes. 需要说明的是，阿布拉莫维奇先生对这笔资金没有接触或控制权，在交易完成後也不 会接触或控制这些资金。尽管情况在他发表最初声明後有所改变，但他仍然致力於为 切尔西寻找一名优秀的管理人，同时确保出售俱乐部的所得收入用於公益事业。 -Spokesperson for Mr Abramovich https://www.chelseafc.com/zh/news/2022/05/05/ statement-on-behalf-of-mr-abramovich --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1522278801702633472 上午2:15 · 2022年5月6日 Clearlake-Boehly are comfortable with the plan (which has changed during a fluid process) and DCMS sources tell me the government will sign off this handling of the debt. As reported earlier, a sale is very close. https://bbs.hupu.com/53487806.html https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/05/05/todd-boehly-consortium -poised-seal-chelsea-deal-friday/ By Tom Morgan, Sports News Correspondent - 5 May 2022 ‧ 9:02pm 《每日电讯报》报导，伯利希望周五签下价值40亿英镑的合同，完成切尔西的收 购，阿布拉莫维奇正准备就这笔交易提出申请，希望得到英国政府的正式批准。 为期五天的独家会谈後，切尔西收购的最後期限逐渐临近，由洛杉矶道奇俱乐部 共同所有人伯利牵头的财团准备在初始出售条款上签字。《每日电讯报》了解到，切 尔西俱乐部高层现在正准备向英国政府申请修订後的出售许可证，正式提名伯利财团 完成收购，理论上这笔交易可以在政府的最後期限5月31日之前完成。 英超联赛方面已经对伯利集团进行了背景调查，伯利财团将利用 Clearlake Capital、瑞士亿万富翁汉斯约尔格˙魏斯和英国人乔纳森˙戈德斯坦的资金收购切 尔西。 周五切尔西会将一份已经签署的收购协议提交给伯利，各方都希望迅速解决英国 政府与阿布拉莫维奇在贷款问题上的分歧。周四阿布通过发言人发表了一份声明，否 认他要求偿还16亿镑的债务。此前英国政府曾提出质疑，但现在似乎愿意进行讨论， 在交易批准後再继续探讨阿布的贷款问题。 上周其他消息人士告诉《每日电讯报》和其他几家媒体，五亿英镑的提价完全基 於俱乐部的未来承诺。据知情人士透露，阿布从未要求偿还贷款。截至上赛季末，切 尔西母公司的现金储备只有1700多万英镑，但阿布自2003年收购俱乐部以来注入的贷 款已经达到16亿英镑。仅上个赛季阿布就投入了大约1.5亿英镑，後收回了大约1.3亿 英镑，年底又借给了俱乐部1990万英镑。 《每日电讯报》了解到，英国政府将优先推动出售，但政府也愿意考虑延长俱乐 部执照，防止出现破产。 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://bbs.hupu.com/53496879.html https://news.sky.com/story/chelsea-fc-sale-dividend-ban-and-debt-limits -feature-in-anti-glazer-takeover-deal-12606482 Mark Kleinman - Friday 6 May 2022 10:14, UK 天空新闻独家报导，由私人股本公司 Clearlake Capital 出资，美国金融家伯 利牵头的财团正在讨论一系列前所未有的条件，作为其40亿英镑收购蓝军的一部分。 接近竞购的消息人士周五表示，Clearlake-Boehly 财团正与切尔西的顾问就一 些措施进行深入谈判，包括2032年前禁止他们支付股息或管理费、十年内禁止出售俱 乐部的任何股份，并同意严格限制他们可以承担的债务水平。 与其他竞购上个赛季欧冠冠军球队的最终竞标者一样，该公司还承诺对体育场、 青训和女足球队进行最低10亿英镑的进一步投资。雷恩的要求突显出切尔西出售过程 的不同寻常之处。 目前，英国足球俱乐部的所有权正面临着政府前所未有的干预 － 推定新设立的 独立监管机构。一位内部人士称这些措施为“反格雷泽条款”，旨在确保後阿布拉莫 维奇时代切尔西的财务稳定。 一周被选为切尔西首选竞购者的 Clearlake-Boehly 财团可能最快在周五签署一 份有约束力的协议，收购俱乐部，不过签约仍可能推迟几天。协议附加条件的进一步 细节尚不清楚，但消息人士称，债务限制将使俱乐部能够借入 "数亿英镑" 的营运资 本。该消息人士补充称，约25亿英镑的收购价格将完全由财团的股本出资。 The Glazer family's ￡790m takeover of Manchester United saddled the club with expensive debt known as payment-in-kind notes, and provided a focal point for fan protests, which escalated in the wake of Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement in 2013. Manchester United was floated on the New York Stock Exchange a decade ago, with the Glazers having extracted hundreds of millions of pounds in dividends and from the sale of shares during their ownership. The series of provisions would, if agreed, represent a bold bet from Chelsea's new owners - particularly given that Clearlake has a financial imperative to deliver returns to its investors. 天空新闻本周早些时候透露，根据与洛杉矶道奇股东伯利先生以及包括瑞士亿万 富翁 Hansjorg Wyss 在内的其他投资者的重组协议，Clearlake 将持有切尔西60%的 股份，但投票权将在 Clearlake 和伯利的财团之间平均分配。 一旦与 Clearlake-Boehly 财团正式签署协议，该协议将以特殊许可证的形式提 交政府正式批准。正如天空新闻上周披露的那样，这一过程预计将包括为批准交易而 发放的一张执照，以及为发放收益的另一张执照。 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://bbs.hupu.com/53498215.html https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1522533540742807552 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1522533542068166660 下午7:07 · 2022年5月6日 今天是伯利财团独家会谈的最後一天，预计会签署相关协议。然而一旦达成最终 协议，还有许多後续步骤，这包括英超联赛的 O&D 测试、政府批准和资金交接。 具有法律约束力的销售协议不一定要在今天之前签署，如有必要，相关流程将将 持续到周五之後。他们有信心不需要这样做，但这并不是一个严格的截止日。从最终 谈判到实际交易，可能需要两周时间。 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1522533543594897408 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1522533545230622721 英超联赛消息人士透露，他们已经对相关竞购方进行了“软审查”，预计将在七 天内完成 O&D 测试。他们还必须评估三年的商业计划，在完全敲定协议之前，他们 不能正式这麽做。 DCMS消息人士称，政府对冻结债务感到满意，并"自信"能够在5月31日前批准出 售。官方消息是 CFC 的特别执照不会在这之後延长，这被称为“硬性截止日”。 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1522533546858098688 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1522533548556787713 如果有任何意外阻止伯利收购，雷恩集团将会转向马丁˙布劳顿爵士。拉特克里 夫爵士并不是候补，雷恩不准备在这个阶段与尼斯的老板接触，因为已经书面通知过 他，他不是这个流程的一部分。 现阶段还不清楚公告将如何发布，切尔西的高层已被要求起草一份声明，很可能 是一份联合声明。他们可能还在等待签署一份出售协议，这是政府的偏好，但并不是 他们所能控制的。 -- ╔══╗╔╗╔╗╔══╗╔╗ ╔══╗╔══╗╔══╗ ║╔═╝║╚╝║║╔═╝║║ ║╔═╝║╔═╝║╔╗║ ║║ ║╔╗║║╔═╝║║ ╚═╗║║╔═╝║╚╝║ ║╚═╗║║║║║╚═╗║╚═╗╔═╝║║╚═╗║╔╗║ ╚══╝╚╝╚╝╚══╝╚══╝╚══╝╚══╝╚╝╚╝ --

[via @Lawton_Times] https://twitter.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/1522698774933606401 https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1522701218455470081 https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1522701220170944521 上午6:04 · 2022年5月7日 Todd Boehly has signed a purchase agreement to buy Chelsea and will now be put forward for Government and Premier League approval. This is the most significant step of the process so far. Todd Boehly's consortium agreed to a series of 'anti-Glazer' clauses that should ease any criticisms over the involvement of American investment firm Clearlake Capital. These clauses are thought to bar the group from paying dividends or management fees until 2032, prohibit the sale of any shares of Chelsea for 10 years and place strict limits on the level of debt they could take on. https://twitter.com/Darren_Lav89/status/1522699103003676672 (捕捉野生伯利) 上午6:05 · 2022年5月7日 Can confirm that Todd Boehly is at the bridge....can also confirm that he is an absolute gent! https://twitter.com/johnfittis/status/1522713109114236928 (哭啊) 上午7:01 · 2022年5月7日 Love how @Darren_Lav89 can get 2000 + likes for the same photo post and I get 6 (哭脸) https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2022/05/06/club-statement Club statement 06 May 2022 Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club. 切尔西俱乐部证实，由托德˙伯利、Clearlake Capital、马克˙沃尔特和汉斯约尔 格˙魏斯领导的新集团已经就收购俱乐部所有权的条款达成一致。 Of the total investment being made, ￡2.5bn will be applied to purchase the shares in the Club and such proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich. UK Government approval will be required for the proceeds to be transferred from the frozen UK bank account. 在全部投资中，25亿英镑将用於购买切尔西俱乐部的股份，这些收益将存入一个冻结 的英国银行帐户，据罗曼˙阿布拉莫维奇证实，这笔资金将100%用於慈善事业。从冻 结的英国银行帐户转帐需要经过英国政府批准。 In addition, the proposed new owners will commit ￡1.75bn in further investment for the benefit of the Club. This includes investments in Stamford Bridge, the Academy, the Women's Team and Kingsmeadow and continued funding for the Chelsea Foundation. 此外，新老板承诺为切尔西俱乐部进一步投资17.5亿英镑，包括对斯坦福桥、青训、 女足和金斯梅多球场的投资，以及对切尔西基金会的长期资助。 The sale is expected to complete in late May subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. More details will be provided at that time. 这笔交易预计将於五月底完成，完成的前提是获得所有相关监管部门的批准。届时俱 乐部将提供更多细节。 https://www.chelseafc.com/zh/news/2022/05/06/club-statement https://twitter.com/Lawton_Times/status/1522826339702775808 下午2:31 · 2022年5月7日 The Premier League is set to approve the ￡4.25 billion takeover of Chelsea by a consortium led by the LA Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly, with all parties increasingly confident that the UK government will also issue a licence for the sale. https://twitter.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/1522827224965160963 下午2:34 · 2022年5月7日 Glad I didn't wait for the club announcement of this - which came at 1.37am! https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1522860363083128832 下午4:46 · 2022年5月7日 As previously reported, completion is around two weeks away. O&D Test, government license and transfer of funds are all expected to be complete before the season ends on May 22. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/05/07/todd-boehlys-chelsea -takeover-still-has-major-hurdle-overcome/ By Tom Morgan, Sports News Correspondent - 7 May 2022 Ministers yet to be fully satisfied that Roman Abramovich will not profit and talks with Boehly and Chelsea will intensify next week. https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021259780595712 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021261575622657 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021263282884609 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021264780206080 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021266285961222 上午3:25 · 2022年5月8日 The gov. will not block the CFC sale if Buck and Granovskaia stay at the club. DCMS committee chair Julian Knight has said the pair remaining would be “an unsettling development”. But with neither sanctioned in conjunction with Abramovich, their departure can't be enforced. Clearlake-Boehly, like other suitors, expressed a desire to keep both during bidding process. That's unsurprising since telling key executives you won't keep them in a job isn't wise when pitching. Preference remains for Buck & Granovskaia to at least be part of the transition. From there onwards, their long-term future hasn't been discussed in significant detail. It's also a two-way conversation since it remains unclear if Buck or Granovskaia actually want to stay. The government could only insist on the pair's removal if they could prove Abramovich could still influence the club through them or receive money. It's logical some ministers are uncomfortable with their presence and they could yet depart. These are discussions for coming weeks. But the point is, should Clearlake-Boehly wish to keep them, there is really very little the government can do unless they can convince (not demand) Clearlake-Boehly or prove they are facilitating a benefit to Abramovich via the club. https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021267854573569 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021270060654593 Discussions next week will be less about the pair and more about the specifics of the new Foundation. Abramovich claims government have always been kept in the loop on it via an independent advisors. Plans are still developing. There will also be some talk about what happens if/when sanctions are lifted against Abramovich. If he suddenly has access to funds, that's perhaps when any links to him via Chelsea become of more concern. https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021272145223680 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1523021273894432768 Chelsea sources also add that Buck and Granovskaia also don't want to derail any sale. So they have a few weeks to engage with the new owners. But as previously reported, nothing has been decided yet beyond a desire to have them remain through a period of transition. Overall, DCMS & Clearlake-Boehly sources have maintained license approval is now seen as a formality not a hurdle. The fact the gov. were comfortable with Chelsea releasing a statement is also a sign the deal will happen. Just going to take a few weeks and final discussions. https://twitter.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/1523662649543716866 https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1523663481308073985 下午9:54 · 2022年5月9日 Todd Boehly to hold more talks with Marina Granovskaia and Bruce Buck over their Chelsea futures with American scheduled to make another trip to London. Todd Boehly is expected to reassure Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel that he will receive the support and backing of the club's incoming new owners. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/-b2075473.html Nick Purewal - 10 May 2022 Todd Boehly will become Chelsea's controlling owner when the US magnate's consortium completes the ￡4.25billion Stamford Bridge club purchase. Clearlake Capital co-founder Behdad Eghbali will work closely with Boehly and will be understood to take an active role in major financial decisions. Boehly's fellow Dodgers co-owner Mark Walter and Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss will assume more supportive roles in the new Chelsea ownership structure. Jonathan Goldstein is also understood to have played a central role in the Boehly consortium's success in the race to buy Chelsea. Chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia should retain their roles once the Chelsea takeover is completed, with the sale remaining on course to be wrapped up ahead of the May 31 deadline. ※ 编辑: JamesCaesar (114.47.163.64 台湾), 05/10/2022 19:02:22
