perhaps Goldis can recognise some cost-savings from the merger. Clearly, there will be some savings from maintaining only one listing status.
But beyond that, will there be more restructuring?
“It’s too early to speculate. Let us finish the deal first, then the board can sit down and decide how we want to strategise and proceed,” explains Ng.
Looking ahead, IGB’s minorities may find themselves in an interesting position. If they share AllianceDBS’ view and expect Goldis, as a merged entity, to unlock value trapped in its assets, then they should opt for option 2.
But if they expect value to be unlocked over a longer period of time, then they should opt for option 3.
Of course, investors could always opt for option 1 — take the cash and invest directly in IGB REIT, a company that has clear visibility in earnings and dividends.
KUALA LUMPUR (June 30): Goldis Bhd is revising the options for its takeover offer for IGB Corp Bhd.
Originally, Goldis offered three options available to IGB shareholders — cash only or a cash plus Goldis shares on a 30:70 ratio respectively, and the third option is cash plus new redeemable convertible cumulative preference shares (RCCPS) on a 20:80 ratio respectively. Meanwhile, shareholders owning fewer than 100 IGB shares would be offered cash only.
However, Goldis said it wants to allow all scheme shareholders to have the same election rights, whereby those with fewer than 100 IGB shares can elect for the Cash Option, the Cash and Share Option or the Revised Cash and New RCCPs Option.
Secondly, the proportion of cash to new RCCPS to be offered under the Cash and New RCCPS Option has been revised from 20% in cash and 80% New RCCPS to 12% in cash and 88% new RCCPS.
“This is to cater to scheme shareholders who wish to maximise their equity holdings in Goldis with the aim to benefit from and realise the long-term potential value in the consolidated group,” said Goldis.
Goldis said the revised option will not have any material effects on the group structure, share capital, substantial shareholders’ shareholding and audited consolidated net assets per share and gearing.
On Feb 23, Goldis announced that it had offered to pay IGB shareholders RM3 a share in either cash or a combination of cash and shares in Goldis, a move that would see it delisting IGB and turning it into its wholly-owned subsidiary.
It also said the move would likely eliminate its holding company discount on IGB, provide it with greater liberty to plan and decide on the strategic and business directions of IGB, and create a more cohesive and efficient operating structure going forward.
Should the scheme be approved, Goldis said it plans to rename itself IGB Bhd, which stands for Ipoh Goldis Bersatu.
Goldis settled 0.4% or one sen higher at RM2.90 today, valuing it at RM1.77 billion.
KUALA LUMPUR: Goldis Bhd, which is seeking to take subsidiary IGB Corp Bhd private, has sweetened its offer for the remaining IGB shares it does not own by waiving its right to all dividends and/or distributions declared, paid or made after the date of its Feb 23 proposal letter.
IGB Corp, the developer of Mid Valley City, told Bursa Malaysia that it had received a letter from Goldis on Thursday stating that the scheme shareholders would now be entitled to retain any dividend that IGB might declare, make or pay for this financial year ending Dec 31, 2017 (FY17), prior to the date of sanction of the proposed scheme by the High Court.
“For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the waiver set out above, Goldis will not reduce the offer price by an amount equivalent to the net dividend for each IGB share which the scheme shareholders are entitled to retain,” it said.
“Similarly, if Goldis declares, makes or pays any dividend before the consideration shares and the consideration new RCCPS (redeemable convertible cumulative preference shares) are issued, the consideration shares issue price and the consideration new RCCPS issue price will not be reduced by an amount equivalent to the net dividend for each consideration share or consideration new RCCPS that the scheme shareholders are not entitled to.”
(Earlier this month, Goldis declared a first interim dividend of 2 sen per share for FY17. IGB, which paid an interim dividend of 10% for FY16 on March 17, has not declared any interim dividend for FY17.)
All other terms and conditions to the proposed scheme as set out in the proposal letter dated Feb 23 and as revised by the revised proposal letter dated June 30 remain the same.
The proposed scheme offers RM3 for each IGB share held, to be settled by either one of three options that the scheme shareholders can choose (100% cash, 30% cash and 70% Goldis shares, and 12% cash and 88% new Goldis RCCPS).
Goldis directly holds 73.43% of IGB’s share capital (excluding treasury shares). The Employees Provident Fund is the second largest shareholder with a 5.02% stake.
Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd, was appointed on April 14 as independent adviser on the proposed scheme. IGB has not posted any advice from Kenanga IB to-date on Bursa Malaysia's website on whether shareholders should accept or reject the offer.
IGB shares closed unchanged at RM2.83 on Thursday.
igb pay 10- 15 cents div goldis pay 2 -5 cents div for the past 3 yrs. most likely, monority shareholder of igb will reject d offer.
Reasons; -igb shares will be diluted UNDER OPTION 2 AND 3, therefore dunt get good div anymore - Some analysis say igb valuation 4 -6 ringgit, therefore offer 3 ringgit not attrative.
goldis wants to buy igb for cheap and given the market rules, they will most likely succeed too; talk about the rich getting richer and the not so rich getting screwed.
The Group's revenue for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2017 decreased by 6.7% to RM552.9 million as compared to RM592.5 million for the 6 months period in the preceding year. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to lower contribution from the hotel segment. The previous year’s revenue had included revenue from Cititel Express Kuala Lumpur, Micasa Hotel Yangon and Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel which were disposed in March 2016, July 2016 and January 2017 respectively. The contribution from these three hotels were RM57.4 million. However, this was mitigated by the higher revenue contributed by The Tank Stream Hotel in Sydney. However, the Group has recorded higher profit before taxation of RM239.3 million for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2017 as compared to RM168.5 million for the corresponding 6 months period in the preceding year, which represented an increase of 42.0%. This was mainly due to a one-off gain on disposal of Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel.

AllianceDBS’ investment case is straightforward. As it stands, Goldis has a fully diluted revised net asset value (RNAV) of RM8.04 per share. Hence, it is currently valued at a whopping 65% discount to its RNAV. The merger with IGB Corp should be a re-rating catalyst for Goldis, allowing it to command a slightly higher discount-to-RNAV of 50% or RM4 per share.
It already worth more than RM4 long time ago but price at lower low. Need more corporate exercise carry out to boost the price, or give better dividend.... Otherwise will be dead water again
