If dissenting minorities lose at the EGM their shares would also be complusorily acquired by the Company via the SCR exercise.

By the time the EGM is convened it would be too late because dissenting minorities would probably be outvoted.

OSK pays dividend twice annually. The total for the year is 5 sen.

Compared to Daiman and Selangor Properties' recent SCR, MAA's Offerors have a much lower shareholding percentage and face greater resistance from the greater number of minorities. The Offerors have SO MUCH TO GAIN from the SCR as their MAA shares will triple in value to RM3.53 after the SCR exercise. By doing an SCR, the Offerors don't even have to spend a sen to take over the whole of MAA. No matter how tough it will be for them, it is certainly they are determined to win because if they fail, someone might launch a hostile takeover as MAA is cash rich and over 60% of the shares are in the hands of minorities.

The problem was each time dividend was paid the market price adjusted downwards for the dividend and couldn't go up.

Dividend only just paid out in January. Affin pays out dividend at the most only twice a year.

The first batch of MAA shares I bought was after the payout of the special dividend of 35 sen. So I probably received a total of 18 sen dividends on my initial batch.

Stock

That's why when these companies drop to ridiculous levels I would step in to buy like when I started buying MAA at 50 sen around October last year. My average cost for MAA is now 59.7 sen and SCR of RM1.10 is still a good deal for me.

Stock

2019-03-29 23:48 | Report Abuse

ph88xing raised the best argument : Why can't MAA do a capital repayment for all shareholders at RM0.675 which will cost the Company the same total payout? That would be a fair deal for all.

The Offerors are not decent people. If they can take over at 1.10 they will do it at that low price. They have failed us in the past 6 months by not paying dividend and by not doing a share buy back DESPITE having obtained approval at EGM to vary the utilisation of the remaining sale proceeds of the takaful business.

Huntertee, it's going to be RM1.10 unless revised upwards. If Offerors think there are more than 10% dissenting shareholders, they will improve the offer. The Offerors have SO MUCH TO GAIN from this SCR exercise as the NTA of their MAA shares will increase to RM3.53 after completion of the SCR exercise.

The whole SCR process will take over 6 months even without price revision. Study Daiman's SCR which was initiated on 27/8/18 and payment only finally made on 14/3/19. The BOD of Daiman didn't meet the Offerors' one month deadline to accept the SCR and received an extension. This is a delaying tactic since Offerors and BOD are working hand in hand and gives Offerors time to scoop up shares from the open market via friendly parties who are actually buying up on behalf of Offerors from weak shareholders who desperate to sell for whatever reasons.
