OSK ended up with 89.36% of PJD, hence falling short of the required acceptance level to take the company off Bursa Malaysia.
OSK had 31.03% when it made the offer for PJD’s shares and warrants at RM1.56 and 60 sen each, respectively.
Under the takeover regulations, an offeror needs an acceptance of 90% of the shares that it does not own at the point of making the offer to compulsorily acquire the remaining equity in the company.
For OSK to reach this level, it needed about 93% of total shareholders’ acceptance.
PJD’s public shareholding spread based on the valid acceptances verified and received by the registrar for the takeover offer by OSK yesterday was 10.62%.
However, PJD did not comply with the public shareholding spread requirement of the Main Market listing requirements, which states that at least 25% of its total listed shares (excluding treasury shares) must be owned by public shareholders.
MIDF Research in its recent report opined that the PJD acquisition and the takeover offer were beneficial to OSK and in line with its business strategy to diversify into property development, construction, manufacturing and the trading of cables and building materials, as well as the hotel and leisure business.
MIDF said based on the offer document, it was not the intention of OSK to privatise PJD, unless sufficient valid acceptances were obtained to invoke the compulsory acquisitions as set out in the document.
The trading of OSK Property Holdings Bhd (OSK Prop) will be suspended effective 9am on Oct 22, as its public shareholding spread fell below the 25% requirement set by Bursa Securities.
OSK Prop declared its suspension yesterday in a filing with the stock exchange after its public shareholding only stood at 5.92%.
The group must ensure that at least 25% of its shares are in the hands of public shareholders for Bursa Securities to lift the suspension.
The buyout deals of OSK Prop and PJD had been declared by OSK Holdings chief executive officer and group managing director Tan Sri Ong Leong Huat (pic) last October, as part of his grand plan of creating a mega property company.
It was reported that the offer prices for OSK Prop and PJD shares were 11.9% and 10.1% below what they were trading at.
The buyout price for PJD shares was also at a significant 37% discount to its net asset value per share. The proposed buyout, in which minorities are being offered shares in OSK Holdings or a cash option, naturally sent the shares of OSK Prop and PJD falling, after a notable run-up just weeks before.
If the merger materialises, then the mega property company would have an asset size of RM6bil, shareholders’ funds of RM4.9bil, and a recurring net income of some RM386mil, which is expected to grow to RM410mil in financial year 2015.
yeah, good, I am still holding the shares hoping for higher takeover price
I am sure they will privatize the company, its a matter of pricing KAF Investment already sold their fund management buz to Amundi and KAF S&C bought new fund management 1-2 yrs ago, guess they want to consolidate this buz and the lands too
many old timers holding this shares for more than 20 yrs since listing days, I am sure they wont let go at low price too
SPA extended to 31/11, another month to go just unbelievable that the old lady need time extension for a deal selling from left hand to right hand old tricks die hard
INVITATION to all shareholders to attend AGM for free makan makan, and bombard the directors on takeover pricing
COME COME TO PARTY
KA has 78% stake, minority 22%, below 25% spread required by Bursa. Credit Suisse purchased about 4.5m shares recently, the largest minority shareholder, surely want higher profit. Credit Suisse purchase price ranged easily from 1.80 to 2.60, their job is to make more money from their investment. money, money money....
KA need another 12% from minority shareholders to take the company private, minimum threshold is 90%. To acquire another 12% is not easy as the shares are tightly held by many senior investors if you had attended previous AGM - mostly are not young investors, held the shares for dividend for decades
KA needs to take the company private for few reasons mentioned before but minority investors can hold for dividend. KA also want to pay LESS LESS LESS TO MINORITY to take the company private for very same human reasons though she is a billionaire and not really young, also money money money... People just wont get sick of too much money...
The extended SPA for the takeover on 30/11, just 3 days after AGM, for KA to test water on minority investors sentiment towards the takeover pricing.
Your attendance at AGM, YOUR objections & voices on the takeover price do count
Let us together hold them at ransom for a higher price, also for small money, money money though we minority are just ikan bilis out to get fair price....
good news guys, I have just reported to MINORITY SHAREHOLDER WATCHDOG and they will assess my report and put the company under surveillance. The MSWG Head is friendly and supportive.
If there Is basis after checking all facts, MSWG WILL prepare a petition and WANT ALL MINORITY TO MEET, SUPPORT AND SIGN the PETITION before submitting TO KAF & MEDIA
guys, support from u are significant, number does count, MSWG official said
just cant stand such greedy & selfish characters where is the greedy old lady's values of caring and sharing?
if company make losses, everybody include minority have to share the losses but when properties investment value appreciated, all belonged to the greedy old lady
what nonsense? where are her life's values? never been to schools?
These are the minority names in the latest annual report Plse stand up and fight Don't wait for others to fight for your cause You have more shares and more to lose than us here

Khatijah says when KAF SC went public, its capital was RM30mil and the company had given bonus shares from time to time.
“We gave a bonus of one-for-one, so the cost was 50 sen. After that we gave another one-for-one so the effective cost to original shareholder would have been 25 sen.
“So I think RM2.70 is a very good return on investments,” she said.
still continue to talk nonsense, still talk about history, what about those new investors who bought 7-10 yrs ago or last few years
new investors come in bcause of NTA cash and land assets
now greedy old lady said cukup lah, minority already make enough profit esp those held very long time 25 yrs ago
So this deal won't go through is it? Will it fall back below rm2 if that happens? The share rose due to the privatisation news. If that doesn't happen it would go down right?
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd has publicly reprimanded stockbrocker and fund manager KAF-Seagroatt & Campbell Bhd (KAF) for failing to ensure that its fourth quarterly report for the financial year ended May 31, 2015 (FY15) is factual, clear and accurate.
The securities trading regulator said in a statememt that KAF did not ensure that the Q4 FY15 results took into the adjustments as stated in its announcement dated Sept 30, 2015.
There was a 36.3% variance between the KAF group’s audited profit after taxation and minority interest audited results for FY15 (RM5.715mil) and the unaudited results it announced earlier on July 31, 2015 (RM4.193mil).
The adjustments were mainly in respect of the reclassification of income derived from the KAF Sukuk Fund amounting to RM971,000 from ‘available-for-sale reserve’ to ‘net profit’ for the financial year. and an adjustment in taxation amounting to RM551,000 due to an increase in deferred tax assets arising from the additional provision made for bonus in a subsidiary.
good, more hold the better for higher price nothing to lose to hold old lady is going to privatised at 2.70 or more, go for more... dont think she can get 90%
KUALA LUMPUR (May 23): The cash offer price of RM2.70 per offer share for the 76.74% acquisition of KAF-Seagroatt and Campbell Bhd (KAFSC) by KAF Investment Bank Bhd has been described as “not fair” but “reasonable” by independent adviser Public Investment Bank Bhd.
The OFFER PRICE IS NOT FAIR BUT REASONABLE - wtf statement
The adviser, appointed by KAFSC board, recommended that holders accept the offer, but closely monitor the market prices of KAFSC shares prior to the closing date, before making decision on accepting or reject the offer.
another contradictory statement from independent bank adviser-
just hold till offer close and wait for higher offer price lar

KA need 90% to delist KAF
