Noteworthy that despite SG Index tumbling -1.4% today, Great Eastern shares continue their steady upward rise from $17.60 in late '23 to $18.34 now. Disregarding the proposal which is still months away from being approved, Kuchai's holdings in Great Eastern are worth $1.52 / shr so buyers only pay 20c for their Semenyih land, 65c of cash & their Emerald Hill freehold shophouse in S'pore collectively worth 47c /shr & doesn't even factor in their holdings in the S$ bonds & other fund investments. PLUS 4c per shr of Great Eastern's customary May dividend if the proposal drags beyond 1Q '24. A full blown takeover, like was attempted in 2006 by 88.4% owner OCBC by the end of the yr cannot be ruled out!

This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly on January 8, 2024 - January 14, 2024

ROUGHLY 15 months after Kuchai Development Bhd (KDB) completed distributing its 26.51% stake in Sungei Bagan Rubber Company (M) Bhd (Sg Bagan) to shareholders, the company ended the year with an announcement of a bigger deal.

This time around, KDB is selling its assets and liabilities valued at RM275.47 million to its sister company Sg Bagan in return for shares. Again, KDB will distribute Sg Bagan shares to its shareholders. For every 1,000 KDB shares, shareholders will be entitled to 222 Sg Bagan shares under the proposal.

The controlling shareholder Kluang Rubber Company (M) Bhd will get the lion’s share of the block of Sg Bagan shares being distributed.

Kluang Rubber holds a 42.21% stake in KDB and a 43.5% stake in Sg Bagan. It is, in turn, controlled by low-profile Singaporean businessman Lee Thor Seng and his sons — Justin Lee Chung-Shih and Colin Lee Yung-Shih — via their family vehicle The Nyalas Rubber Estates Ltd. Justin is the executive deputy chairman of KDB and Sg Bagan.

It is worth noting that the divestment consideration of RM275.47 million was RM120 million more than its market cap of RM154.68 million prior to the announcement.

The divestment, which unlocks the asset value of KDB, gave a strong boost to the share prices of the three companies, lifiting them to all-time peaks on the first trading day of 2024.

The move is seen by market observers as the nonagenarian Thor Seng’s attempts to further streamline his interest in the Bursa Malaysia-listed companies, apart from unlocking asset values. This has left many wondering about his next move with KDB, which will soon be a cash-rich listed shell company.

“Would he privatise Sg Bagan since most of the assets will be parked there?” muses a market observer.

Just look at the price chart of these companies for the last 20 years then you decide whether these companies fit your investment criteria.

Soon...$1.80, then $1.90...tgt is $2 at least, at which point, the return on capital is still 53%, far higher than the 29% just before the ex-date of the previous SBagan shr distribution!

Averaged UP @ 2.08 just now. As a point of interest, Kuchai's holdings in Great Eastern @ the takeover price alone is worth 2.13, not including the 66-68c in cash per shr once the latter's dividend is credited & disregarding all the other assets(Emerald Hill S'pore shophouse & 8 ha Semenyih land)

Posted by GS > 4 days ago | Report Abuse

anyone have the details for the following? kindly share.

from The Edge Malaysia Weekly : "Kuchai shareholders missed out on bonanza by a mere two days "

Posted by dompeilee > 3 days ago | Report Abuse

I'm disappointed by the CAP AYAM standard of the Edge's articles(which is why I have refused to buy a single copy of their publications since 2016...crammed with dvmb ads!) The shareholders' approval was given 4 days ago BUT the deal needs to wait until 3Q '24 to be completed. There's still room for adjustments since the OCBC takeover could be completed b4 then so the 188 mil equities specified in the original deal could turn into 263.9 mil CASH which is a significant difference from the balance sheet position when the deal was entered into. Furthermore, many minority Great Eastern holders are dissatisfied that the deal is proposed @ 0.8 X the fair value of the biz, so the offer could potentially go UP ! OCBC failed to take it over in 2004 & 2006 so I doubt they won't raise the bid just to get it RIGHT this time...

Posted by lionel messi > 1 day ago | Report Abuse

How will Kuchai shareholders benefit from this deal? Will they miss out completely after the recent EGM?

Posted by dompeilee > 1 day ago | Report Abuse

Like I said, the transfers of ownership have presumably not yet been executed as the EGM approval has to precede it & that approval was only obtained 6 days ago. The latest dividend from 3.032 million GEastern shrs will be credited to Kuchai, NOT SBagan.

Posted by star899 > 1 day ago | Report Abuse

Whether the deal could go through would not matter much.
Through the various proposals from the holding and associated companies, we can visualize how valuable and precious the assets are owned by Kuchai !!!
In other words, the share price might not have reflected its intrinsic value which only the insiders can know before the revaluations.
