THE BUZZ
Last Friday, Engtek announced that the final day of trading for the company's shares is 17 Aug, while the entitlement and payment date is 28 Aug.
OUR TAKE
A recap. In July last year, Engtek received an offer from TYK Capital SB to acquire the entire business and undertakings of the company for an aggregate consideration of RM2.50/share. However, in October, its operation in Thailand was badly affected by the Thai floods, which inundated its plant there. Following this, the financiers of TYK Capital had conducted due diligence on Engtek to evaluate its operational capacity while its financers agreed to back the privatization effort only if the price was adjusted downwards to RM2.00/share. We found the newly tabled offer price still attractive and had advised shareholders to approve the proposal. At the company's EGM in June this year, shareholders agreed to dispose of Engtek's entire net assets to TYK Capital
Ceasing coverage. The company's current share price already reflects the offer price of RM2.00 per share for Engtek's net assets. Hence we are discontinuing coverage on Engtek.
