I have to reiterate, I don't trust you enough to give you my name and phone number. I suspect you'll use it for other means instead of what you claim. You claim your "lawyer" will speak to me. Tell you what, why don't you give me your lawyer's name and contact number. I'll speak to him/her directly.
Oh and if you actually have "confidential evidences" that there's something funny going on with Benalec, why you don't report it to the Securities Commission?
They'll come down on the company like that hand of god IF what you say is true.
And the company's share price will then drop drastically.
For those who is misinformed, the coming EGM is NOT mr ben's own initiative but it is a Bursa's directive. Bursa did not agreed with mr ben's explanation that the HOA agreement is a related-party-transaction. Bursa wants the HOA agreement to seek shareholder approval first before any such agreement is to be signed. But mr ben tried to go the other way round. If shareholder did not approved it during the coming EGM, Bursa may reprimand the company and imposing fines. Be correctly informed and warned!
Kukuman, I for one would welcome discussions whether favourable or not to the company. We are all investors and as such information is good for us to make decisions. However, ironically, while preaching to inform the misinformed, I can't help but notice your previous post would only cause more confusion.
i) "the coming EGM is NOT mr ben's own initiative but it is a Bursa's directive" - you are partially right. But it is not exactly Bursa's directive. In that I mean a directive is an instruction. I doubt Bursa directed the company specifically. Instead, there are Bursa Listing Requirements that have to be adhered to if you are a listed entity. Every listed entity have to adhere to it
ii) "Bursa did not agreed with mr ben's explanation that the HOA agreement is a related-party-transaction" - not very sure what you mean by this. Why would the company argue that it is a related-party-transaction if what it is trying to do is not have a EGM. A related party transaction requires shareholder's approval and hence EGM
iii) "If shareholder did not approved it during the coming EGM, Bursa may reprimand the company and imposing fines. Be correctly informed and warned!" - as far as I am aware this is also not true. If shareholders do not approve of it, it just means the company cannot proceed with their actions. Correct me if I am wrong but resolutions get turned down quite often and there are no fines attached to them
I am not advocating a buy or sell. Make your own decisions but make an informed one.
splendid, regarding your reply on point (i) - It is Bursa's decision and NOT mr ben's. It seems you were misinformed. Not your fault. many spinners here caused that. Your point (ii) - If Bursa agreed that the HoA is related-party-transaction, then there is NO need for an EGM because related-party-transaction was already approved prior to this. Your point (iii) - true or not true, we don't know just yet as Bursa has make any judgement on this matter pending EGM. In the eye of Bursa, mr ben has made the wrong move by signing the HoA without proper shareholders' approval and that is why Bursa's decision for an EGM. All said and done, please don't forget why the need of HoA in the first place. That is the biggest and shameful matter that should not have happened.
Kukuman: The name and contact number of your lawyer, please. You made the challenge, so now I'm waiting to see whether you dare stand by what you said earlier.
And with regards to kukuman's statement on the HoA, he's spouted (yet again) another load of crap.
1) The entire step of the HoA process required Bursa's input. If Bursa disagreed at any point in time, they would have told them to shut it down and required that Benalec undo everything they had done thus far.
2) An RPT of this issue DOES require shareholders agreement. Bursa's Listing Requirements, 10.08, subparagraph 2 states very clearly, "where any of the of the percentage ratios of a related party transaction is 5% or more" vis a vis the Heads of Agreement circular, Section 19 which states that the highest percentage ratio here 5.07%.
Perhaps instead of stating what is completely untrue and trying to confuse readers here you might want to consult with your "lawyer" to try and understand the legalities before making any more of your "learned" statements.
3) If any fines are imposed, it is on the _individual directors of the Board_ not Benalec. Their stewardship comes into question, and they are the ones to be punished, not the minority/non-interested shareholders (via their stake in the company).
4) And this is what really annoys me the most. You're stating complete untruths with this statement, "Your point (iii) - true or not true, we don't know just yet as Bursa has make any judgement on this matter pending EGM. In the eye of Bursa, mr ben has made the wrong move by signing the HoA without proper shareholders' approval and that is why Bursa's decision for an EGM. "
I've stated point regarding RPT in item 2 above. To follow up even further, please read the HoA circular again. Section 14:
"As set out in Section 13.1 above, with regard to the HoA settlement arrangements as set out in Sections 2 to 10 of this Circular, notwithstanding the outcome of the EGM for the Porposed HoA Ratification, those items that had been completed shall remain effective."
_BURSA_ approved this statement. In other words, even if the shareholders vote no, what is done CANNOT be undone. The only thing that remains at risk of failure if the shareholders vote no is "The Citypoint Suit" as per Section 6/Section 13.1. And that is not a major item in the settlement agreement.
Again I'd like to highlight the fact that _BURSA APPROVED THIS CIRCULAR_. If they disagreed, they would have removed that point allowing them to undo everything if shareholders vote no.
I'd like to reiterate again, you wanted me to have an "informal chat" with your "lawyer" regarding the "confidential evidences" about Benalec's misdeeds. Give me your lawyer's name and number and I will contact him/her directly to hear whatever it is that you claim.
If you do not agree to do so, then I would have to say you yet again been a complete liar by stating complete untruths.
Mr Koo informed that holding the EGM because it was Bursa's decision !!! He also said that if shareholders don't approve the resolution, the implication of that occurring may lead to Bursa reprimanding the board and imposing fine.
You better check with Mr Koo. Don't simply spin. By the way, do you know who is he?
I really enjoying this - exposing the spinner's tactic. write long long essay no point one. I forgot. write long long essay is spinner's modus operandi.
I will speak with Victor Koo tomorrow to confirm that what you said is of course bullshit.
As usual you rebut my statements with one word, "nonsense".
Someone with a modicum of intelligence would have rebutted with, "nonsense because..."
You evidently don't have any intelligence. If you want to bullshit at least try to pretrend you actually know what you're talking about.
And I note you have declined to give me your lawyer's name and contact number so that I can speak to him/her regarding this "confidential evidences" that you claim to have involving the management's supposed shenanigans.
Kukuman, I call you out as a spineless liar and a crook. You have the no integrity at all.
Taciturn, you are getting very desperate. So much of your long essay without any input from benalec! You still have the audacity to accuse people talking bullshit. Thats show your credibility, young boy
At least take the time to research base off public announcements, quarterly and annual reports plus reading other people's analysis. You on the other hand don't even give one ounce of analysis, one ounce of research.
All you give is bullshit o spineless troll. No credibility nor integrity. Still waiting for your "lawyer's"_ contact. You claim you have one from Skrine. Chances are though you've got a disbarred reject on call assuming you even have on that is.
Pathetic, kukuman the spineless lying troll. Pathetic.
The following is extract from Taciturn's statements. It is epic! 1) "The entire step of the HoA process required Bursa's input" 2) "As set out in Section 13.1 above, with regard to the HoA settlement arrangements ........ _BURSA_ approved this statement "
And my response to these epic statements is NONSENSE!! This kind of epic statement can only come from bookworm-self-search student.
Sometimes, talking too much on facts will make you too confident. it's a waste of time for me to watch these "kids" fighting here, managed to let go all my 500,000 shares again at RM1.12 today and quit, bye bye!
sunztzhe: I'm not going to restate all my previous postings, suffice to say that I'm bullish on this company over the medium to long term.
I would suggest you take kukuman's statements with a huge pinch of salt. He has always lied in his statements and has never once elaborated on his statements.
Don't believe me? Click on his nick, and click on postings". Click on my nick, and and click on postings".
He'll say, "rubbish company" but will never tell you why. Notice above he's stated that my statements are "nonsense"? Yet he doesn't tell you why he thinks they're nonsense.
I'll at least give you my reasons when I state something.
Kukuman the lying, spineless troll. I am still waiting for your lawyer's contact number. I note that you have ignored this point in all my postings even though YOU (the spineless one) raised it in the first place.
Once a lying bullshitter, always a lying bullshitter. That's kukuman.
Let hear from you after you have spoke to mr koo as u proudly claimed. I am assuming u really know him or have access to him. Then we will know who is the true bullshitter. Please dont recycle those pathetic "its already after office hour so cannot get him" excuse
Hmm seems like the discussions are still ongoing. I actually value discussions backed up by facts which will likely lead to longer postings. I guess some would prefer just a "buy now" or "sell now". To each his own but I prefer to make my decisions based on a valid justification.
To reply to Kukuman. Firstly, a listed entity HAS to get shareholder approval via the EGM if it is a related party transaction. So the company is merely complying to the listing requirement. It is irrelevant whether the company initiated it out of their own accord. All listed firms need to follow the listing rules. That is it.
Secondly, you are mistaken about not needing to go for EGM if it is a related party transaction. On the contrary, the whole point of having a EGM IS because of the related party transaction. I work in the field and am quite familiar with the process. I do believe the approval for related party transaction that you are referring to is for the Recurrent Related Party Transaction, of which most companies will get approval every year during the AGM. This is not a recurrent transaction. If you do not believe me, please read the circular to shareholders where Chapter 10 (Related Party Transaction - RPT) of the Bursa Listing Requirement has been quoted. You would also realise that as part of the requirement for Chapter 10 - RPT, an independent financial advisor is needed to advise the shareholders. Part B of the circular is exactly the advise given my Mercury Securities. So, contrary to what you think, the EGM is precisely because it is a RPT and not because of Bursa not agreeing or what-not.
Now, the other concern is with the HOA. The process is quite normal. A HOA can be signed prior to shareholders approval because it is not legally-binding. For a comparison, note that Sona also recently signed a HOA before shareholders approval. Hence, there is nothing out of the ordinary here.
Lastly, we are all aware of the mess-up the company made. This has been reflected by the share price appropriately. I don't think anyone would argue with that. What I am interested in is how they deal with it and the turn-around story. For me, I think the HOA is a step in the right direction and hence I am invested. If you think otherwise it is of course your decision. Again, make your own decisions and for heaven's sake do your own homework instead of just believing whatever you read.
After a discussion with my peers, they have advised me that I should treat kukuman differently since he's obviously "special". They've highlighted a simple point that it is useless to argue with someone who's "special".
I don't want to keep reiterating all my points in different postings. I think anyone who reads all the postings can agree that he's a liar since after much prodding he still refuses to give me his so called "lawyer's" contact number.
I of course retain the privilege of tearing down any further stupid statements by said "special" person.
I've got too much work to deal with to waste any more time on these points with this "special" cur.
Taciturn, are u imply u have chickened out? U no more speaking to mr koo tomorrow? U got too much work to deal with? I don't think so. Your ultra long spin essay is a living proof that u r too free and too much anger after being exposed as spinner.
Splendid, you claimed u work in this field? really? then are you saying mr koo is wrong on this matter? Perhaps mr Ben should sack him and hire u instead ! Why said I have mistaken. i did not said it. It is mr koo. You are just being biased in your statement. Let me repeat what mr koo said below:-
Mr Koo informed that holding the EGM because it was Bursa's decision !!! He also said that if shareholders don't approve the resolution, the implication of that occurring may lead to Bursa reprimanding the board and imposing fine.
Kukuman don't need to have your defences all worked up. I don't attack people personally. Just stating my opinions. You can disagree if you want. Am not pointing a gun at your head. In the field means I am familiar with corporate disclosures for corporate exercises. I don't mind working for Mr Ben to be honest ;)
And the reason I referred to you being mistaken was from your reply to me initially. Quote "splendid, regarding your reply on point (i) - It is Bursa's decision and NOT mr ben's. It seems you were misinformed. Not your fault. many spinners here caused that. " There was no mention of Mr Koo there.
I state things with justification. I don't think that's being bias but again you are free to disagree. Don't need to resort to personal attacks. We are all adults here.
Another point, any fines imposed by Bursa would be on the directors (if Bursa finds any wrong-doings) and would not impact the company.
Anyways I am interested to know your lawyer from Skrine too! Have a couple of friends working there. Perhaps they would know you :)
Splendid, Your statement "A HOA can be signed prior to shareholders approval because it is not legally-binding." is not quite the case in mr Ben case. It is legally binding even if egm disapproved. Mr Ben want to quickly settle their shameless dispute without seeking shareholder approval and Bursa see red in this. Hence Bursa wants mr Ben to call for the egm. That's why mr Ben is in shit deal if egm disapproved the resolution. Many shareholders are pissed off the way things were handled in such hush hush manner in the beginning and many want to show their displeasure in the coming egm. The sentiment is that just because it involves brothers therefore no CBT issue? Imagine this, if u r one of the alleged party and u r non-family-related, do u think the company will push for CBT against you or just let u go scot free?
Hi all, I'm a newbie who entered BEN a month ago. I received the circular document regarding the HoA. so what i need to do is reply on the proxy form & mail back to BEN?
chance of making big money not always come easily, if u really have faith in this company,just hold otherwise just sell it off and find uself other counter if u believe they are better than what u are holding now.
