That's the best from VT? Actually that is a lefthand to righthand block, not a sell queue, why panic in the absence of any news?

Thxs for the inside knowledge/update. Most impairment loss on JeJu Korea project has been provided for earlier in Berjaya Group's accounts. So no more surprises, any compensation from Korea will be a Bonus!. Looks like VT might use his cables with TunM for a G2G resolution soon?
Any updates on the following?
* Selangor Turf Club land and outcome of Selangor Govt's appeal on Compensation to Berjaya?
* GMOC Arbitration for RM600 million as coming to year 2 already & sale of FS Kyoto, as apparently there is an embargo on VT/Family's hush hush trip to Japan last week?
2019-08-01 00:52 | Report Abuse
Correct me if I am wrong?
* The are 15% free floating shares, out of which 8 7% are held by large funds like Macquarie Bank & Penta with balance of 6.3% held by retail?
Refer link
https://ibb.co/HzQXFr0
* VT can delist/privatise by buying 1% more to activate public float limit but he can't forced acquisition of remaining shares from minority unless he can get 90% of remaining shares (90% X 15% = 13.5%).
* In other words VT needs 85% + 13.5% =98.5% before he can forcefully acquire the remaining shares (1.5%) to delist with 100% control.
* It's unlikely Penta & Macquarie Bank (with 8.7%) will accept anything less than 38 sens to sell, given the earlier Penta/BJCorp deal.
2019-07-31 09:26 | Report Abuse
What it means is the VT syndicate has been very active for this few months? They have been using influencers who masquerade as minority & used loss leaders to influence/manipulate the market direction even when it's clear cut that the company is recovering and making profits.But at the end of the day nothing is given out for free. Anything done be must for a purpose, the syndicate will recoup their investment soon?
Points to ponder?
* VT has been selling assets for a profit lately
* He also pondering to sell more assets like FS Kyoto for profit
* He or his family has been going for overseas biz trips almost weekly?
* Also most of the major court cases concerning compensation for BJLand will have an outcome by EOY?
* Umobile will be listed latest 2020 & VT already stated his intention to list BJLand's hotels on SGX
* VT also has been on a lookout to acquire profitable hotel biz for his empire through BJLand in line with his listing plans on SGX?

Corrections.. BJCorp not VT as owns 85% of BJLand? Interesting to note that VT owns 56% of BJCorp...so what benefits VT will also benefit minority after the offer to convert to BJCorp shares?
2019-07-29 15:48 | Report Abuse
Let's hope somebody sells it down to 16 sens so that we ends up with the following?
# BJToto valued @26 sens per share
# FS Kyoto valued @15 sens per share as half belongs to BJLand?
# GMOC arbitration valued @6 sens per share?
# That not even counting it's property & HR Owens assets and extensive landbank locally & overseas?
# Also most major impairments has be accounted for, so no more surprises?

The Macquarie Bank used to own 4% already sold to Penta and later sold to BJCorp leaving Penta with 3%...that means out of 15%, balance of 12% should be owned by minority? The block at 17.5 sens is to cap the price by VT & associates before delisting/privatisation?

"Speaking to the media, Tan, the executive chairman of BCorp, said the restructuring exercise would enable BCorp to acquire the prized assets held by the listed subsidiaries at the current cheap valuations."

There are vultures waiting for forced selling by weak holders or big shark? Looks like got lower cap of 17 sens for BJLand & upper cap of 26 sens for BJCorp to maintain the conversion ratio should there be delisting/privatisation exercise?
Anyway there should be resolution for some of these court cases EOY from hints given by Mgt. below?
"kahhoeng Major court cases:
1. Sungai Besi Turf Club land dispute
- The hearing of the Selangor State Government's appeal at the Court of Appeal has been fixed for 24 October 2019.
2. China Property Project Disposal
- Further to the last quarterly report, the arbitral tribunal has since been constituted and the procedural timetable has been determined by the tribunal for pre-trial preparations, including closing of pleadings and exchange of witness statements, etc. The tribunal has directed that the arbitration hearing will take place on 14 to 18 October 2019.
3. Jeju Island Property Project
- In July 2018, BJR made an application to the court in the JDC Lawsuit to conduct a second supplementary land price appraisal report, as BJR was dissatisfied with the first supplementary land appraisal report which was based on disputable land reference. The court in the JDC Lawsuit granted BJR's application to conduct a second supplementary appraisal, to be undertaken by a different appraiser. The second supplementary land price appraisal report has been completed and the next hearing date has been set on 25 July 2019."

The company also owns the principal hotels, sports clubs with jackpot machines, foodservice establishments, and nightclubs throughout Monaco.

More updates on BJLand, Icelandair Hotels acquisition
"BLand said the proposed acquisition was in line with the group’s plans for geographical diversification and revenue expansion.
“The luxury hotel segment in Iceland is expected to grow and the proposed acquisition will enable the BLand Group to enter this segment with strategically located hotels in the heart of Iceland as well as certain hotels being operated under the Hilton brand name,” it said.
The proposed purchase will not have a material effect on the net assets and earnings of the BLand group for the current financial year ending June 30, 2019, but is expected to contribute positively to its future earnings."
