[不定项选择题]资料：China's Fosun has offered to buy almost 17 percent of Millennium BCP, Portugal's largest listed bank, and potentially lift its stake to 30 percent, following a having in its share price in the year to date.
BCP said in a regulatory filing late on Saturday that Fosun Industrial Holdings had offered to pay ?0.02 a share, equal to Friday's closing price, in a private placement of 16.7 percent of the bank's share capital. According to the filing, Fosun was also considering increasing its shareholding to “20-30 percent”.
Fosun, one of China most acquisitive companies, made its Millennium BCP offer a week after it agreed to pay $1.1bn for 86 percent of Indian drugmaker Gland Pharma. In recent years, it has also snapped up France's Club Med and the top Portuguese insurer in Europe.
Analysts deem BCP to be in need of capital and vulnerable to a takeover after its share price fell from ?0.05 earlier this year, pushing its market value to a little over ?1.1bn.
In a recent report on Portugal's undercapitalisted banks, which are heavily burdened by bad debts, Barclays said BCP could need a capital increase of about ?2bn.
On Friday, the bank posted a ?197.3m loss for the first half of 2016, down from a profit of ?240.7 for the same period last year. But it said that stress tests by the European Banking Authority had shown it had sufficient capital to withstand a financial crisis. Under the tests, BCP had a common equity tier one ratio-a key measure of capital strength-of 6.1 per cent under stressed conditions, above the 5.5 per cent threshold seen as the minimum adequate level.
Fosun has now offered to subscribe to a private placement, reserved solely for the Chinese group, that would give it a 16.7 percent stake in BCP. It said it was “also considering increasing its stake through secondary market acquisitions or in the context of future capital increases” to up to 30 percent.
This offer, which is subject to regulatory approval by Portuguese and EU authorities, is conditional on Fosun being able to appoint at least two of the 20 BCP board members, and up to five members in the event of increasing its stake.
BCP said it recognized “the strategic potential” of Fosun's offer, saying it would swiftly proceed with an analysis of its “many positive aspects” before making a recommendation to its board of directors.
Is Fosun likely to succeed in buying 16.7 percent of BCP’s share capital?
A.Yes.
B.No.
C.It’s up to Portuguese and EU authorities.
D.It depends on whether Fosun is able to appoint at least two of the 20 BCP board members, and up to five members in the event of increasing its stake.

Sauna
Ceremonial bathing has existed for.thousands of years and has many forms,one of which is the sauna.The Finns have perfected the steam bath,or sauna,which may be taken,usually in an enclosed room,by pouring water over hot rocks or as a dry heat bath.The Japanese,Greeks,Turks and Russians as well as Native Americans have forms of the sweat bath in their bathing rituals.Dry heat and steam baths had advocates in ancient Rome and pre-Columbian Americans used sweat lodges.
The earliest saunas were probably underground caves heated by a fire that naturally filled with smoke as chimney making was unknown at that time.A fire kept in a fire-pit would heat the rock walls of the cave.After reaching full heat,the smoke was let out of the cave and the stones would retain heat for several hours.A few people today say that the smoke sauna,"savusauna",is the only true sauna experience and that all saunas should have at least a background odor or smoke.Today most saunas use electric stoves,although gas and wood-burning stoves are available.
Saunas are relaxing and stress relieving.Those with muscle aches or arthritis may find that the heat relaxes muscles and relieves pain and inflammation.Asthma patients find that the heat enlarges air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing.Saunas do not cure the common cold but they may help to alleviate congestion and speed recovery time.The body's core temperature usually rises 1-2 degrees while in the sauna,thus imitating a slight fever.The sauna could be considered to follow the old saying"feed a cold,starve aestarve a lever".The regular use of a sauna may decrease the likelihood of getting a cold in the first place.
Sauna is good for your skin as the blood flow to the skin increases and sweating occurs.Adults sweat about 2 lbs of water per hour on average in a sauna.A good sweat removes dirt and grime from pores and gives the skin a healthy glow.The loss in water weight is temporary as the body's physiological mechanisms will quickly restore proper volumes.The cardiovascular system gets a work out as the heart must pump harder and faster to move blood to the surface for heat exchange.Heart rate may increase from 72 beats per minute on average to 100-150 beats per minute.
A normal heart can handle these stresses but those with heart trouble wishing to begin to use a sauna should seek a doctor's advice.The elderly and those with diabetes should check with their doctor prior to beginning to take saunas.Pregnant women should not take saunas,particularly in the first three months.Indeed,everyone just starting out should take short sessions at first to become accustomed to this type of bath.
What is understood by some people to be the true sauna experience?
A.Saunas in underground caves.
B.Saunas with smoke.
C.Saunas using wood burning stoves.
D.Saunas using electric stoves.
