KUALA LUMPUR: Bio Osmo Bhd shareholders have been told to reject the takeover bid launched by its largest shareholder, Datuk Seri Farouk Abdullah, which has been deemed “not fair and not reasonable” by independent adviser DWA Advisory Sdn Bhd.
In an independent advice circular issued yesterday, DWA Advisory said the offer price of five sen is considered not fair as it is lower than the estimated valuation based on the sum-of-parts valuation method of six to seven sen per share in Bio Osmo, representing a discount of 16.7% and 28.6%.
The offer price also represents a discount of about 23.1% over the closing price of Bio Osmo as at the last full trading date (LFTD). It also represents a discount of 16.3%, 7.9% and 1.8% against the five-day, one-month and three-month’s volume weighted average market price of up to the LFTD, said DWA Advisory.

The offer is also not reasonable, it said, considering that the offeror intends to maintain the listing status of Bio Osmo and does not intend to invoke the provisions of Section 222 (1) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 (CMSA) to compulsorily acquire any outstanding offer shares for which valid acceptances have not been received prior to the closing date.
“Premised on the above evaluation, DWA Advisory is of the opinion that the offer is not fair and not reasonable,” it added.
To recap, Bio Osmo had on Feb 21 said the mandatory takeover offer by Farouk to acquire the rest of the shares in the group he does not own has turned unconditional, following the approval given by the group’s shareholders during an extraordinary general meeting.
Bio Osmo, whose principal business is in the processing, manufacturing and selling of drinking water, is expected to rebrand into a hospitality business after Farouk injected hotels parked under his private vehicles into the group, effectively triggering a mandatory general offer.
The group had, in April 2018, signed six share sale agreements to acquire hotels under the Impiana brand in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Cherating, commercial land in Pangkor, as well as the hotel management company of Impiana, for a total purchase consideration of RM425.9 million.
The proposed acquisition entails the issuance of 4.8 billion consideration shares, 3.2 billion consideration irredeemable convertible preference shares, and a cash payment of RM25.9 million.
Upon receipt of the consideration shares, Farouk’s shareholdings in Bio Osmo will increase to more than 33%, from 19.61% currently. With the completion of these proposals, Bio Osmo plans to change its name to Impiana Hotels (Malaysia) Bhd.
Hopefully, One more week it will name Impiana Hotels (Malaysia) Bhd and on April will come out a good Quarterly report with Positive Profit. At the end of the day who will pay so much $$$ and time to do all the take over with 5 Cents deal?????? Just my 2 cents of sharing. Have a good night ahead.

what is you all average value now? I enter at 0.055, low side risk seem pretty small. big bosses subscribe at 0.05. if drop below that everyone also rugi together, no worries.
Farouk alr knew it. he had been collecting 0.055 since last mth. we all knew this stock will fly one day question is when ? 1mth, 6 mth, 1 year ? we can do alot with our money within that period.
Those who is new here. I mention before that think like a business owner and you don’t put so much money, effort and time to do a business and let it failed. But any business take time to see it ROI so if you want fast $$$ and this may not be the counter you are looking for and just my personal sharing. Have a greats Friday and weekend ahead. ;)
