Dear all,
With cahs payment of RM1.87 Billion to BjCorp group (of course 935 million flow to BjLand).
This is the best time ever for BJCorp to carry out share buy-back option.
They have mandate to buy back upto 10% of the total shares, which is 530 million shares.
They have collected 87.1 million, refer the above.
Take an average of 10 million shares buy back from market everyday.
They only need less than 45 days to complete this task.
This mean by next quarter report, scheduled to be announced by 30-05-2020,
They could be finish buying the 530 million, and make balance of BjCorp shares of 4,870 million.
The result of the share buy back will improve the NA of BjCorp from 1.23 to 1.33.
Up 10 sen, as the share buy back will cost them 20~23 sen per share.

Follow the above,
Is the above share buy-back "End-game" for BjCorp?

The answer is NOT.

BjCorp could have two options:

1) To distribute back those shares to the remaining share-holders;
Means distribute 1.1 share for every 1 share held at May-2020.
This will take some times, for notice to public and distribution exercise.

2) To cancel those share bought back.

Once either option was done, BjCorp could re-start the share buy-back again.

With option 2, the NA will up-lift from 1,23 to 1,33, then to 1,43, 1,53 ...

Of course, each round of share buy-back, will cost them RM120 million,
Believe two rounds of share buy-back is within the acceptable strategy.

There will be an arbitrage gain to be made by syndicates between BJCorp/BJLand in a share swap to realize VT's public proposal to delist BJLand in order for BJCorp to gain from BJLand's share of cash hoard from sale of FSKyoto & compensation from Berjaya Jeju project and GMOC arbitration...

Yup! BJCorp needs lots of cash to stay afloat & BJLand got lots of cash and cash cow BJToto. The only way BJCorp can benefit from BJLand's cash is a share swap...talking about killing 2 birds with one stone...

Eddysurge,
BjCorp reported Kyoto Sales of RM1.87 Billion, (it is as group level).
The Kyoto Hotel is 50:50 split between BjCorp and BjLand.
Therefore, both BjCorp and BjLand shall share the cash payment of RM935 million each.
At the end of the deal, which have been done, each party have RM210 million nett gain.

This is the beauty of Listing announcement.

As BjLand hold 50% of Kyoto Hotel, but they only classify this Kyoto Hotel as Associated Co.
The reason is back to year 2015, BjLand have run out of cash/capital to continue on the
construction of the Kyoto Hotel. They seek for help from BjCorp, to take-over 50% shares of Kyoto Hotel and finish up the Hotel in year 2017.

Therefore, all the glory named under BjCorp, however the actual fruit will be shared among them.

BJCorp debt is not as high as shown in balance sheet.

1. BJToto carries a net debt of over 700 million that's reflected into BJCorp's balance sheet.

2. BJLand also carries a net debt of over 2 billion, of which is BJToto's (BJLand's net debt would have been 1.6-1.7 billion if BJToto's excluded. If Kyoto Four Season is sold with cash transferred, and BJLand is really receiving 900 million (I have yet to see an announcement on BURSA,) BJLand's net debt is ONLY 700-800 million.

3. BJCorp's net debt is around 4.2 billion, but that includes BJToto and BJLand's. If they were excluded, BJCorp's net debt is around 1.8-1.9 billion. Should the proceed from Kyoto Four Season channeled back, BJCorp's net debt should be around 1 billion.

Question is: How much BJCorp and BJLand have received from the disposal.

wantanmi, I am saying IF BJLand did really receive 900 million cash from the disposal, which BJ investor relation has failed to reply to me thus far. Besides from a liquidity concern, i.e. 85% been held by BJCorp and VT leaving the shares not desirable to many, BJLand has failed to provide sufficient transparency to assure minorities. Not to mention an Iceland deal that come out of noway, yet dare to say cheap, without putting minorities concern into consideration.

We refer to below:

On behalf of the Board, Maybank IB wishes to announce that the Disposal was completed today following the settlement of the Total Consideration by the Purchaser in cash and BKD has on even date entered into the Lease Agreement with the Trustee and the Purchaser.

This Announcement is dated 10 March 2020.

Therefore, it si sure that full payment received, as at above.

bjcorp is buying bak the share so that they can use it to privatise bjland thru share swap..i suppose..if not no need share buy bak. they will buy bak til may then wait for new year for new mandate to issue more new share. than use it for share swap like the penta deal.

Eddysurge, from your provided site,

The NET DEBT at about RM 2.23 billion has not excluded the 700 million net debt BJToto is carrying. If this amount is discounted, BJLand net debt is a mere RM 1.5 billion. And if Kyoto Four Seasons sale proceed is truly 900 million to BJLand, the net debt will be further reduced to RM 600 million.

What Is Berjaya Land Berhad’s Net Debt?

The image below, which you can click on for greater detail, shows that Berjaya Land Berhad had debt of RM2.91b at the end of June 2019, a reduction from RM3.25b over a year. However, because it has a cash reserve of RM680.1m, its net debt is less, at about RM2.23b.

Posted by OceanSky > 2020-03-18 18:53 | Report Abuse

Thanks to Kahhoeng,
He has give further explanation on BjLand net debts, once exclude debt carried by BjToto.

My comment on the said BjCorp and BjLand analysises are, they did not factor in the recently completed deal on the Kyoto Hotel disposal which bring in RM1.87 Billion cash, and RM1.6 Billion to be used to pay back the debts, on BjCorp level, and take half on BjLand level.

Both BjCorp and BjLand will have much better debt positions after the above settlement.

Further to the above, once the Jeju and GMOC deals are completed, their debt positions could be even better.
