MGO at a low offer price just to take the offerors over the 50% line.

@Johnzhang, I ditched completely all my OSK shares at 90.5 sen on 11/6 and looking to redeploy the proceeds elsewhere ....... maybe MAA, ;-)

I think at the AGM/EGM in June 2020 (I am no longer shareholder by then) a 6% dividend was approved by the shareholders, to be paid within 24 months. Already 12 months have lapsed. MAA has more than enough excess cash to pay out the 6% dividend but the BOD are deliberately delaying it.

@investorbat, instead of another SCR, the controlling shareholders might attempt a MGO instead like what Tony Tiah did at TA Enterprise. But they are in no hurry. SCR is difficult to succeed because of strong opposition from the minorities (30% voted NO in the last SCR).

MGO creeping rules not allowing controlling shareholders to increase their shareholdings by more than 2% within 6 months period restrict the share buybacks. A breach of this 2% rule would trigger a MGO which the controlling shareholders do not want.

@Johnzhang, you can scroll up to the comments in this forum during May 2019 when the EGM was held for the proposed SCR for further details.

@Johnzhang, sometimes we get lucky with our stock picks. I held MAA for over a year, received dividends thrice (dividends were great then at 3% to 6% half yearly). Weeks before the proposed SCR, MAA shares went on a downtrend dipping to around 50 sen and I added on to lower my average cost to 60 sen. Suddenly price suddenly start to creep up but no one anticipated a takeover attempt, most of us were just accumulating for the good dividend yield and expecting bumper dividend from the balance of the sale proceeds from the disposal of the domestic insurance business to Zurich.

On the same day after the EGM (it was not suspended on the EGM day) the price of MAA crashed below 90 sen in an immediate reaction to the failed SCR.

The NTA was around RM2, I think a group of minorities comprising individuals was holding out for at least RM1.50 The offerors reacted angrily after the EGM in an outburst interview with reporters and said something like there will not be another offer ever again.

A SCR was proposed at RM1.10 when MAA was trading at around 60 sen. After announcement the following day it went limit up to 90 sen and the days after went further up to around RM1.05. However the SCR failed at the EGM when more than 10% of the minority shareholders voted NO to the offer price of RM1.10 hoping that the offerors might revise the offer upwards. The offerors reacted angrily to the failed SCR attempt. My average cost of MAA was 60 sen and I sold the off all before the EGM at RM1.04 and haven't bought back.

SSlee, follow Mikecyc buy Insas at 0.79 and then exit at 0.91 within 2 weeks.

It's not a safe bet because there's no guarantee the SCR will succeed just like what happened to MAA a few years ago because it takes only 10% of the non-interested shareholders to vote NO for the SCR to fail.
