UP awaiting final state approval for the purchase. Hope the exco sitting was attended by the quorum and chairman to approve land transfers. The transaction is deemed to be completed very soon.
United Plantations Berhad First Quarter Report 2019 12/15 B7)
CORPORATE PROPOSALS
The corporate proposal announced but not completed as at 23 April 2019 is as follows: On 21 September 2018, United Plantations Bhd entered into 3 conditional sale and purchase agreements (“SPAs”) with Pinehill Pacific Berhad’s group of companies to purchase agriculture lands measuring approximately 8,999 acres together with a palm oil mill in Daerah Hilir Perak for a total combined purchase consideration of RM413.57 million (“Proposed Acquisition”). Barring unforeseen circumstances, we are hopeful that this Proposed Acquisition might soon be completed. The Proposed Acquisition is pending state government’s approval.
Yes, needs the final go from Exco. Perak is trying to be investor friendly and would support a larger corporation like UTDPLT to help the smaller plantation companies whom cant have scale. Its good for the people in the state and would bring in better innovation to the sector there. Plus once they have this big boy playing in their back yard, there could be more M&A's in Perak plantation scene. Good price to accumulate.....hopefully fly to 60 sen soon....2x
Actually UTDPLANT should direct take over this garbage company. Offer privatize at RM1 only wll cost them 150mil. Cheaper than purchase consideration of RM413.57 million (“Proposed Acquisition”)
Approval obtained, the sale is now UNCONDITIONAL, would be completed by 1st Q June 2020 which is actually by September 2019. Downside is that due to the extension in lease and the surrender of 10% of some land, the vendor could compensate 12.5m to the Utdplantation.
We refer to the Company’s announcements dated 21 September 2018, 27 September 2018, 26 December 2018, 18 January 2019 and 17 May 2019 in relation to the Proposed Disposal. On behalf of the Board, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad wishes to announce that each of the Vendor had on 10 June 2019 entered into 3 supplemental agreements (“SAs”) to the SPAs with the Purchaser. The SAs were entered into to vary certain terms and conditions in respect of the payment and timing of release of Disposal Consideration of the SPAs as a result of the conditions imposed by the Pejabat Pegarah Tanah Dan Galian’s (“PTG”) in their approval dated 7 May 2019 to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchaser’s application for approval under Section 433B of the National Land Code, 1965 for the acquisition and transfer of the Plantation Assets (“S433B Approval”). The Purchaser had accepted the terms and conditions of the S433B Approval on 10 June 2019
EFFECTS TO PINEPAC Based on the circumstances imposed by the authority on the Purchaser, PinePac may be subject to compensate the Purchaser RM12.5 million. This represents approximately 3.0% of total proceeds of RM413.57 million from the Proposed Disposal. The potential RM12.5 million compensation however, is subject to the following events: (i) The Vendor or Purchaser is required by the appropriate authority to commence and/or implement the Required Exercises in respect of the Plantation Assets before the presentation and the registration of the transfer in favour of the Purchaser. (ii) the appropriate authority does not require either the Vendor or the Purchaser to commence and/or implement the Required Exercises before the presentation and the registration of the transfer in favour of the Purchaser, then for a period of 12 months thereafter, the RM12.5 million may be payable to the Purchaser if the Joint Stakeholders receives a Retention Sum Notice from the Purchaser. In the event, none of the above event materialises, the compensation therefore will not take effect.
On behalf of the Board of PinePac, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad wishes to announce that all conditions precedent of the SPAs have been fulfilled by the Parties and accordingly, the SPAs have become unconditional on 10 June 2019.
Pinepac not even a single lot traded until now. At 0.315/0.325 only 10 buyers and 7 sellers, very funny. The Rm413 millions deal is to be concluded before end of September 2019. After deducting Rm34 million of loan from Directors, Rm127 million bank loan and Rm48 million 'Trade and other payables', it still have cash of Rm204 million. Divided by its issued shares of 150 million, that is cash of Rm1.36 per share. Is there a catch somewhere or there is something in the account that I don't understand or overlooked.
PROPOSED UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS The Proposed Disposal is expected to raise gross cash proceeds of RM413,574,302.49 million, which are expected to be utilised as follows:
(1)Repayment of bank borrowings of PPM (1) Rm126,700 (2)Payment to all creditors of PPM, SKMP and TRT Rm109,500 (3)Funding the existing oil palm plantation business in Indonesia Rm70,000 (4)Dividend to minority shareholders in PPM Rm2,400 (5)Working capital Rm74,974 (6)Estimated expenses Rm30,000 Total 413,574 Notes: After paying to bank, creditors, suppliers commissions to agents, etc., nothing left for dividend.
Got one seller at 33 sen trying to block a sudden surge in the price. A good strategy as it will give time for other investor to catch up n share the cake.

Yes no sellers, just someone throwing down and the closing at 30sen again. It would trigger a day or 2 before the money is paid. Watch for the announcements from United plnt, they will announce first and usually their announcements are clear and timely
