His Royal Highness The Sultan of Johor is in REDTONE. Is he interested in football. He is interested in Polo. And I heard he has over 200 or 400 horses.
No.4. Privatization? At what price?
No 5. Merging REDTONE With U MOBILE? Quite possible. Then watch out! Digi, Celcom & Maxis!
jonatlau, BJCorp as major shareholder of Redtone can plan acquisition on umobile with other's big shareholder agree. Small potato like me cannot sound anything lor :(
from share price, most likely BJCORP will be announcing a loss. Normally insiders and big players have info way ahead of small players. Normally they will announce some positive news to reduce impact of loss announcement. It all depends now, how positive this news will be.
More likely to be BJCorp making an offer to buy all the shares still being held by the previous key owners. Later there will be more corporate exercises involving U-Mobile, possibly a merger. May even involve buying a significant portion of MOL Global being so cheap now from investors who want out.
Bjcorp (29%) + Sultan of Johor (20%) could jointly selective to take over Redtone, but it will remain listed and seek to transfer into main board, later.

KUALA LUMPUR (Mar 27): REDtone International Bhd ( Financial Dashboard)’s announcement of its suspension from 2pm to 5pm today caps off two weeks of developments at the integrated telecommunications services provider, signalling a major corporate exercise.
“REDtone has given notice on its intention to undertake a major corporate exercise involving REDtone and it intends to release the material announcement on the said exercise by Mar 27, 2015,” REDtone said in today’s Bursa Malaysia filing.
Industry observers think there could be a possibility of a takeover, given that the Sultan of Johor and Tan Sri Vincent Tan both hold a substantial chunk of equity in REDtone (fundamental: 2.3; valuation: 0.3).
Two separate off market transactions today add to the speculation.
No details are available on Bursa Malaysia about the transactions yet but REDtone’s substantial shareholder Berjaya Corp Bhd (BCorp) ( Financial Dashboard) could have raised its interest in the group.
The two deals totalling 70.09 million shares or a 10.53% interest changed hands at 80 sen per share, for a combined RM56.08 million.
The block could have potentially been sold by Syed Ali's Tema Juara, which incidentally held the same amount as at March 16.
BCorp (fundamental: 0.35; valuation: 1.2) was also suspended today.
In an email reply to The Edge Financial Daily earlier today, REDtone group chief executive officer Lau Bik Soon did not comment on possible corporate exercises, but said the emergence of the Sultan of Johor was a case of good timing.
“Our three key business pillars — telecommunications services, managed telecommunications network services and managed value — added services — are on a strong growth track. Backed by our core competencies, we are optimistic of maintaining the profit trend that we have been seeing over the last three consecutive years since FY12,” he said.
In another email reply, BCorp, the group’s other major shareholder, declined to comment on whether they had a corporate exercise planned for REDtone.
In an note last week, Kenanga Research analyst Cheow Ming Liang said the emergence of the Sultan would further enhance REDtone’s profile and edge in project bidding moving forward, especially from companies controlled by the Johor state’s government and/or other government related projects.
To recap, on Mar 16, REDtone announced Sultan Ibrahim of Johor had emerged as the single largest shareholder in the group, with a direct 20.13% stake, following conversion of his warrants and irredeemable convertible unsecured loan stocks (ICULS) to ordinary shares, and the purchase of shares from the market.
Sultan Ibrahim had acquired 74.6 million shares in the company via a married deal. Prior to the warrants and ICULS conversion, he held a 4.8% stake in RIB.
The 74.6 million shares had been disposed by the group’s chairman Datuk Seri Syed Ali’s vehicle Tema Juara Sdn Bhd. Syed Ali is now left with another 10.53% indirect interest in REDtone.
The next day, BCorp increased its stake to 28.29%, after its wholly-owned subsidiary Juara Sejati Sdn Bhd (JSBB) bought six million shares in REDtone on Mar 12, 2015.
Correspondingly, Tan now has an increased 29.95% equity interest in REDtone by virtue of his interest in BCorp.
REDtone shares were last traded at 83 sen today, with some 289,200 shares traded, while BCorp shares were last traded at 44 sen with some 5.1 million shares done.
KUALA LUMPUR: Berjaya Corporation Bhd, which owns 28.29% of REDtone International Bhd is believed to be undertaking a major corporate exercise involving the latter.
It is believed BCorp could have bought 10.53% or 70.09 million shares in REDtone at 80 sen each which were crossed at midday.
The block could have come from Tema Juara Sdn Bhd which is deemed interest in 10.53% or 70.09 million shares of REDtone. It sold 74.608 million shares on March 16.
At midday, REDtone said a major shareholder had given notice of its intention to undertake a major corporate exercise involving REDtone.
Both companies sought for voluntarily suspension in the afternoon session on Friday.
BCorp’s stake in REDtone is 188.25 million shares and this could raise its stake to 38.82% if it had purchased the block from Tema Juara.
REDtone was unchanged at 83 sen at the pre-suspension.
