TRANSACTIONS (CHAPTER 10 OF LISTING REQUIREMENTS) : RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS SUNGEI BAGAN RUBBER COMPANY (MALAYA) BERHAD I. PROPOSED ACQUISITION; II. PROPOSED KDB EXEMPTION; AND III. PROPOSED KRCB EXEMPTION (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS THE "PROPOSALS")
We refer to the announcements dated 29 December 2023, 28 February 2024, 1 March 2024 and 18 March 2024 in relation to the Proposals. Unless otherwise stated, the terms used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the said announcements.
On behalf of the Board, AmInvestment Bank wishes to announce that Bursa Securities had vide its letter dated 22 March 2024 approved the listing and quotation of up to 27,519,500 new Shares to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition
KDB shareholders entitled to Sg Bagan shares and existing Sg Bagan shareholders will now have exposure to a total of 4.76 million Great Eastern shares, which is roughly worth RM290 million based on Great Eastern’s closing price of S$17.78 last Thursday and exchange rate of 3.40 against the Singapore dollar.
At RM290 million, the value of the Great Eastern shares alone exceeds Sg Bagan’s market capitalisation of RM271.96 million.
Putting capital appreciation aside, Great Eastern also provides a consistent stream of dividend income to its shareholders. In the last three financial years, the insurer has doled out dividends per share of 60 to 65 Singapore cents.
Apart from Great Eastern, KDB shareholders would also gain exposure to Sg Bagan’s other investments, being two units of residential flats located in Mayfair, London valued at a total of RM73 million and Sg Bagan’s core business in the oil palm plantations that spans over 4,000 acres.
It is interesting to note that more may be in store for KDB shareholders in the future.

TOPPPPP Gainer 2day...the 1st time since early Jan, beating out overhyped, far more expensive stocks like KLK & PetDag & defying the overwhelmingly bearish tone with almost 1,000 LO$ing stocks!😃
I've invested almost identical amounts in both Petronm & SBagan...now they're competing to see which can exceed $5 & stay there! Of course, my paper gain in the latter is much more than the former! 😉
SINGAPORE: Singapore's second-largest bank Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC) posted on Friday a better-than-expected 5% rise in first-quarter profit and made a S$1.4 billion ($1.04 billion) offer to take its insurer arm Great Eastern private.
OCBC, Great Eastern's biggest shareholder, offered a 37% premium over Great Eastern's last traded shares price to buy the 11.56% stake in the insurer that it does not currently own, valuing the insurer at S$12.12 billon.

TRIPLE Jackpot for me! Great Eastern bought last yr Mar for S$17.52☝ Kuchai bought 64 lots since 2022 @ $1.78 avg incl margin interest✌ & SBagan bought 10 lots since 2015 @ $3.11 avg!💰💰💰
