definitely insiders were buying in the past few weeks. it was quite weird when the negativity was totally surrounding MAS but yet prices held and generally traded above 20sen.
Now MH370 was the initial shock and it dropped like a rock. but MH17 was pretty less severe. EPF and KWAP could be huge buyers as well as well a few MAS + Khazanah's insiders. Once i saw this i was totally convinced there will be a buyout. my patience netted me a 50% return
I was looking at the case in which the first time SCR was conducted in Malaysia (by Khazanah on UDA). They acquired 100% of the remaining shares by the same exercise. Just wondering if minority shareholders have the option of NOT selling, then remain as private investors until the stock is listed again if they implement this SCR scheme.
"Khazanah, which currently owns 69.4% of the airline, has offered to pay 0.27 ringgit per share for the remaining stock, a 12.5% premium to the closing price on Thursday. "
“Today, the Government of Malaysia, through its strategic investment fund Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Khazanah), announced a formal process to take full ownership and de-list Malaysian Airline System Berhad (MAS). This is the first step needed to return our national carrier to profitability. It is a step I wholeheartedly support.
“MAS is part of Malaysia’s history. It is a symbol of national pride, of our ambitions and our place in the world. It is more than just a company to us. So today we are making changes to ensure it is also part of Malaysia’s future story.
“Like all Malaysians, I am deeply saddened by the losses of MH370 and MH17. Seldom before has a company been subjected to two profound and extraordinary tragedies in such a short space of time. We pay tribute to the victims; we pray for their families; and we thank all those around the world for their support and their prayers in these difficult times.
“We hope these twin tragedies will change the way the aviation industry operates, making global travel safer for all. But we must also acknowledge that they will change the way MAS operates, too.
“We believe our national carrier must be renewed. This means wholesale change, to deliver a wholly different outcome. Only through a complete overhaul of the company can we deliver a genuinely strong and sustainable national carrier. Piecemeal changes will not work.
“This process of renewal will involve painful steps and sacrifices from all parties. My instruction and my commitment to all concerned is that the process will be carried out professionally, with proper principles of fairness, transparency and compassion.
“It is therefore critical that all parties close ranks and work closely together. Without the full support of all parties – management, employees, unions, creditors and vendors – as well as loyal passengers and the Malaysian people – this restructuring will not succeed.
“The Government and Khazanah are in the final stages of completing a comprehensive and holistic restructuring plan. With due process and following the relevant approvals, we expect that a detailed plan will be announced before the end of August.
“MAS is our national carrier, and our national pride. The changes that start today will lay the foundations for its future success. I ask that all Malaysians continue to support Malaysia Airlines, as we build a stronger and more sustainable national carrier.”
ENDS De-list dari bursa. Jadi syarikat sdn bhd lepas ni..
I think the final price will b towards 0.30 ! At this stage KHAZ hv as much to loose as the minority shareholders !!! We should decline the offer for the 1st round and let's see what they come back with ??? Meantime, I am sure privately thru nominee they will be buying as much as they can in the open market if the price drop or as it is !!!!!
Bottom line n let's b real & blunt ........ this is just another MAS Classic chapter n as always the taxpayer is the victims n small selective individual will continue to abuse ! Don't 4get "Leopard can never Change its Spots" , mahhhhhhh
others counter ready to perform. look for the best as investor. mflour supporting at 2.00. paying dividend also. make your research, be realistic on value appreciation of mflour. :)
Next quarter result will cause MAS NTA to drop below 20 sen. 27 sen is a gift from Najib. Just wondering how Najib is going to treat the various MAS unions. Perhaps he will absorbed them into the PM department, any way what is a few more thousands to the already overloaded unit.
Remember Encorp was trading at a higher price but privatisation price was lower then that so dont waste your time sell at 27 n use cash to buy Sumatec n double yr profit.
just wondering what happened for some shareholders who are not around ie in overseas and cant be contacted or those that didnt accapt the offer? once MAS is privatised then what happened to their shareholdings? any bro n sis here hv any clue? pls share. thxs
Guys, I think we do not have a say in this issue, Kazanah knew of that they will come to this at least 6 months ago. So they have been accumulating MAS shares and now they call the shots. If Khazana did not interfere the share price will be cool 0.10cts. That is what MAS is worth, along with the "sensitive" but "in their own world staff" So, this is the only way to go, so lets move on. .....
@rubisa57: At first, I thought the same. But then I read again the announcement that they will opt for Selective Capital Reduction (SCR) as a mean to get MAS privatized and delisted. I researched a bit about SCR and came across a document regarding the privatization of Uda by Khazanah using the same method back in 2006. I found out that using SCR Khazanah acquired the whole lot of shares that they didn't already own, leading to 100% of ownership by the time they got UDA privatized. That got me thinking that most probably the minority shareholders may not have a say to refuse to sell their shares if they don't agree with the proposed share price. I might be one of those shareholders unfortunately. I still hope that I am wrong on this though.
It was all too obvious that this would happen to MAS yet crowd persistent in investing or "gambling". Blind faith leads to sorrow. Sorry to those who have to suffer loss.
27 cents is just an offer to buy... not compulsory ... owners are not forced to sell ... there are hundred of funds, some will reject the offer ... cheers
