Apologies for the late reply.
Please find below the response to your queries.
With reference to the Kyoto Four Seasons disposal, may I know :
if the board has considered letting Four Seasons deal directly with the new owner instead of through an entity owned by BJCorp/BJLand? Is the arrangement in the proposal offer a better returns, current and future? If yes, what's the additional total return looks like?
Berjaya: The Purchaser has requested that Berjaya continues to deal with Four Seasons based on the good performance and track record as well as other projects with Four Seasons. Hence, the Proposed LeaseBack following the proposed disposal of the trust beneficial interest in the hotel component of Four Seasons Hotel & Residences Kyoto, Japan (“Hotel”).
(2) if BJLand's shareholders be required to attend a BJLand EGM for the said disposal like in the case for BJCorp?
Berjaya: Pursuant to Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, BLand is not required to make any announcement and BLand shareholders’ approval is not required for the proposed disposal of the Hotel. Nevertheless, BLand has voluntarily announced a summary of the proposed disposal to Bursa Securities for information purposes.
(3) if the management of BJLand too busy or finding BJLand minorities ignore-able to simply refer BJLand minorities to BJCorp's announcement? There's a section in the BJCorp's proposal that evaluate the effect of disposal on BJCorp's net asset, gearing and earning. There isn't any such disclosure on BJLand's. Are minorities of BJLand not entitled to know the disposal impact on BJLand's net asset, gearing and earning?
Berjaya: Any announcement made is in compliance with the Bursa Securities Listing Requirements. In this case, BLand is not required to make any announcement. Please refer to our reply under Q2 above.
(4) During 2018's AGM, I have requested Tan Sri Vincent Tan to consider a dividend given a recovered balance sheet of both BJCorp and BJLand, and I was told there'll be one for FY 2019. Unfortunately, there's any for FY 2019 despite asset disposal in Vietnam. When the issue of dividend was raised again during 2019's AGM, Tan Sri Vincent Tan promised me that a dividend shall be offered to minorities upon the disposal of Kyoto Four Seasons. However, reading through proposal, it's a huge disappointment realizing that there isn't any allocation for dividend. May I know if Tan Sri Vincent Tan is aware of this? If a decision has yet to be made, may I plead to both the board of directors of BJCorp and BJLand as well as majority shareholder, Tan Sri Vincent Tan, to honor Tan Sri's words during both AGMs?
Berjaya: The Executive Chairman of BCorp is also the major controlling shareholder of BCorp and he supports all dividend payout proposed by the Boards. The Boards of BCorp and BLand will do their best in the interest of their shareholders, in particular the shareholders’ requests for 2019/20 dividends. The Boards will look into the proposed dividend after taking into consideration the financial positions, performance and commitments of the BCorp and BLand group of companies.
Thank you and kind regards,
Lydia
