correct me if i'm wrong, the rcps can be converted to shares when it reach maturity in 2 years time right ? its not that they can convert immediately and sell after subscribe to rcps
Even if the Rcps is issued to AOF or whoever the instrument will still be a listed entity. There is a conversion ratio for converting the RCPS to mother share. The underlying benchmark is the price discovery of Eduspec at end each trading day.You mean the RCPS is not going to be a listed entity?
See below the following companies that issued Preference Shares.
Thank you jaynetan for ur explanation. So if aof convert to shares and sell, this will press the share price down maybe to minimum of 2 sen? No wonder the price wont go up, maybe the aof keep selling. At 6 sen, they already made 200% profit...
Not yet . The first tranche of rcps not yet issue. To be issue probably after EX bonus. The first tranche can be converted into eduspec shares at 80 % of the 5 days everage market price ,minimum 2 sen , whichever is higher
Not so fast for AOF do conversion after subscription , so before they convert, diluted the share and dispose, I think we should sell as well, I think in 2 years time.
I purpose of all above information is to educate investors to understand the basic knowledge of shares trading, include All the funny terms used, and the incorrect explanations by some look PAKAR bloggers.
Stocks like edu, xinghe, mnc, huaan, tawin n so on, might go sky up, not because of certain unknown projects, or shouting n cheering by certain groups. Our hard earn money, we need to learn from mistakes. Why should someone persuades us to buy or sell instead of providing important data or information?
For this counter, expecially AOF involved, its motive very clear, to cash out rather than take the minimal interest or hoping for the bright future. I don't mean the price won't go higher, as I said market can be easily manipulated within the law
