  Diamond7 Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) has issued a response to the letter sent by the Securities Investors Association Singapore (SIAS) on June 21. In its letter, SIAS posed six questions pertaining to OCBC’s decision to stick to its original offer price of $25.60 per Great Eastern (GEH) share, key factors that led to the offer price, and more. In its response dated June 27, OCBC explains that it already considered the “methodology, analysis and opinion” of its independent financial adviser (IFA), EY, before making the offer. “We note the IFA, following the detailed analysis it has undertaken, had considered the traded multiples of comparable companies across various metrics, versus the multiples implied by our offer,” said the bank, adding that its offer price represented a 36.9% premium to GEH’s last-traded price the day before its privatisation announcement on May 10. The letter, dated June 27, comes after GEH’s free float fell below the regulatory 10% on June 24. “We further note that the IFA has opined that the offer is not fair but reasonable and has advised the independent GEH directors to recommend that GEH shareholders accept our offer and the independent GEH directors have concurred with the IFA’s recommendation,” continues the release. 28/06/2024 7:19 AM Diamond7 Currently kuchai has not swapped it's shares with SBagan Kuchai is still holding the GE shares Can kuchai sell the shares to OCBC? 29/06/2024 3:05 PM dompeilee Looks like by the time the deadline for the exchange arrives, Great Eastern would already be swallowed by OCBC & the original agreement has to be significantly amended to reflect the much enlarged cash pile & the corresponding reduction in the equity asset column. 29/06/2024 6:07 PM Zhlim014 @Dompeilee you mean the transaction between sbagan and kuchai will most likely go through? 29/06/2024 11:17 PM AhPek Don't think Sg Bagan will allow OCBC to buy over GE shares from Kuchai. Already 90%+ of Kuchai's shareholders voted in favour of the resolution so there is no turning back unless there is another resolution to overrule the earlier resolution. I think OCBC needs to negotiate with Sg Bagan and not Kuchai. As it stands, Sg Bagan got the upper hand and not Kuchai. Just my opinion. 30/06/2024 1:11 AM AhPek Very interesting development. Don't know how it's going to end up. Hope a win-win for both Kuchai and Sg Bagan shareholders. 30/06/2024 2:22 PM lionel messi There must be a good reason why they pushed it so far forward to 29 Oct when the closing date to accept the OCBC offer is 12 July. Is there a hidden message? Read between the lines. 30/06/2024 9:04 PM AhPek I think they will just let 12 Jul lapse. Drag on so that they will get more time to get a better offer from OCBC. 02/07/2024 2:43 PM AhPek The major minorities shareholders of GE is fighting for a higher price from OCBC. 02/07/2024 2:46 PM Diamond7 Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation’s offer for Great Eastern Holdings G07 0.00% closed at 5.30pm on July 12. OCBC now holds 93.52% of GEH. On June 25, OCBC’s ownership crossed 90%. As a result, GEH shares will be suspended on Monday July 15. Accordingly, the offer is no longer open for acceptance and any acceptances received after 5.30 p.m. (Singapore time) on 12 July 2024 will be rejected. However, shareholders who have not accepted the offer can still require the offeror to acquire their shares at the offer price pursuant to Section 215(3) of the Companies Act. This says the transferee or offeror must, within one month from the date of the transfer, give notice to holders of the remaining shares that haven’t been tendered, that they can still tender their shares, and OCBC will have to accept them 13/07/2024 4:00 AM Diamond7 The date of transfer refers to the date on which OCBC’s shareholding crossed 90%, on June 25. On July 24, OCBC will likely be announcing that GEH shareholers can still accept the offer at $25.60 per share and this offer will be open for three months from July 24. OCBC group CEO Helen Wong unveiled a One Group strategy last year. GEH is likely to be part of that strategy. Interestingly, analysts have pointed out that OCBC doesn't charge GEH any bancassurance fees as these are not indicated in its annual report. In 2019, United Overseas Bank U11 0.03% and Prudential renewed a bancassurance agreement for 15 years for $1.5 billion over the course of the 15 years. 13/07/2024 4:03 AM AhPek How will this exercise going to affect Kuchai and Sg Bagan's shareholders? 13/07/2024 10:55 AM Diamond7 GEH to be suspended on July 15 but OCBC will continue to accept GEH shares for further three months... 13/07/2024 5:27 PM AhPek So this is actually very beneficial to Sg Bagan as Sg Bagan already executed the resolution. 14/07/2024 1:18 AM Diamond7 My guess is... SBagan will sell the Great Eastern shares to OCBC within the 3 months after acquisition from Kuchai. Deal with kuchai is still on going. Takes some time! 14/07/2024 12:07 PM Diamond7 50-50 All not sure if the great Eastern shares will be sold to OCBC or not! 14/07/2024 1:59 PM AhPek The notice did not mention the ex-date for taking over the assets and liabilities of Kuchai. Even if Sg Bagan doesn't sell the GEH shares to OCBC, it's still a valuable shares to hold. For long term, I think Sg Bagan's share should fly.🤞 14/07/2024 8:48 PM Diamond7 Lessons from OCBC’s offer for Great Eastern: be unafraid to hold out, but do so with eyes open Earn dividends from shares that are suspended from trading and wait for a richer future offer Leslie Yee Leslie Yee Published Tue, Jul 16, 2024 · 17/07/2024 6:24 AM Diamond7 On July 24, OCBC will likely be announcing that GEH shareholders can still accept the offer at $25.60 per share and this offer will be open for three months from July 24. There is still hope that after the kuchai SBagan swap deal...

The extension was announced on Monday, two days before the company’s previous deadline of Oct 23.

The trading of shares in Great Eastern was suspended from 9am on July 15. The company lost its free float on June 14, when offeror Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC) received 1.48 million shares — or 0.31% acceptances from shareholders — taking the bank’s total stake to 90.16%..
