Apparently, Tien Wah's issue was the re-negotiation of extension with BAT. Current good performance of Tien Wah is driven by high profit margin on Printing on Tobacco Product. If they cannot get the extension agreement with BAT. 80% of their revenue will be slashed.
GOOD NEWS Printing firm Tien Wah Press Holdings Bhd is proposing to jointly partake in a mixed-use commercial development in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, with Singapore-listed Lum Chang Holdings Ltd.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, Tien Wah said its subsidiary Tien Wah Properties Sdn Bhd (TWPSB) has entered into a shareholders' agreement with Lum Chang's unit Kemensah Holdings Pte Ltd to form and operate a 50:50 joint venture company called Sterling Model Sdn Bhd for the proposed development.
On the same date, TWPSB has also entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Sterling Model to sell the land measuring 13,040 sq m for RM63.75 million.
The land was acquired by TWPSB in 2005. The total net book value of the land as at Dec 31 is RM26.5 million. The expected gain in the consolidated financial statements of Tien Wah is approximately RM29.5 million.
Tien Wah said proceeds from the proposed land sale are intended to be used for the proposed development.
Agreed with Joblessrich - does any one please divulge why LTAT had been disposing a very big junk of their shares in the market when above reports have been so convincing of the prospect of TWB
Based on wild guess, few reasons that why LTAT disposed the shares. 1) LTAT need to pay dividend to their fund holders 2) LTAT want to restructure the portfolios 3) LTAT want to use the proceed from disposal to take up the rights.
However, whatever the reasons behind, LTAT must be notified/informed before the bad news (BAT planned to move to Indonesia, Right issues). Otherwise, even 14 sen dividend declared also keep disposing.
From 26/05/16, LTAT will not disclose about the disposal. Based on the latest disclosure, LTAT should have only 4.8mil shares. I believe next month onward will be able to dispose everything. If in July/August announce good result. Then it will move upward again.
LTAT is disposing through open market. The buyers are those genuine long term investors like us. However, dividend will ex tomorrow and this may be no more support to hold at RM2.30, if the support is lost, then will need to wait until the date for the right issues which likely will be end of this month.
This useless LTAT keeps selling non-stop until now they have about 4 million from the original of nearly 14 million shares they possess earlier....damn this idiotic LTAT, pokai
early in the morning traders buy at 5 cents higher but I presume this idiot LTAT keeps selling down until it reaches $2.19 ....why can't this LTAT be that stupid and not wanting to earn a bit more by selling when the prices goes higher....should I say or call them real idiots???
LTAT bought TIENWAH long time ago, the cost of investment for them is low. When they want to dispose off their stake, they still making profit. Besides, due to 3 uncertainties (date of right issues, BAT renewal contract, future prospect in Vietnam) that keep troubling TienWah's investors and potential investors. When LTAT keep disposing their shares is consider good sign for us to collect. Ensure that, in future won't have this kind of significant institutional investors who keep selling like no tomorrow.
why can this idiotic LTAT dispose all of it's shares in Tienwah quickly and be done with instead of everyday disposing it off bit by bit at a few cents cheaper each time. After all LTAT had sold of more than 10 million shares and disposing off the remaining 4 million shares quickly wouldn't be much of a problem instead of everyday purposely killing Tienwah by selling a small amount of share at a few cents cheaper each day even when the price goes up...dam the idiotic ba....d.
The management might be foresee that LTAT kept disposing the shares. Hence, they delayed to announce the date of the right issue. The management would need to have strong justification/supporting to call for the right issue. If based on the current situation, very unlikely to have investors to subscribe the right issue even at RM1.00. TienWah has already take up the additional 5mil rights which indirectly tells the potential investors that they are at the high chance to get the renewal contract from BAT and Vietnam's JV will contribute positively.
dotn worry la..who's the take up LTAT 10million share? even though they disposed so much in last 2-3 month, price still consider quite stable, slow slow only..meant some big leg is eating all the LTAT share..
LTAT's 10mil shares were taken up by us lo. Since last 3 months, they are disposing and the price has been adjusted from the highest RM3.26 to now RM2.30(before ex). Each trading day, LTAT contribute 90% of the volume. If based on the trend of disposal, they should be finish selling at the end of the month or latest early next month before Raya.
Hi Yistock, can you enlighten us the substance over form that you mentioned in your article? I still cannot get the logic that disposal of 50% stake to Vietnam's Gov will have impacted inter-segment. For example, Co A has making profit for 10 years and now want to dispose 50% of the profit to Co B. Why need to have such losses ? Should it be compensated by the proceed from disposal ?
I don't think LTAT wants to sell the remaining 4 million shares they now hold. They have sold about 70% of their total holdings and may want to keep some for investment......just a wild guess only.
do you guys think is it wise to top up now for more rights entitlement?or buy after right issue is better?since i does not like my share being diluted because of rights.......
Investors don't really like right issues given the current weak market sentiments. People are welcome corporate activities such as share split, bonus issues, free warrant and bumper dividends. LTAT was running for life, not to mention retail investors.
Bluefun, Vietnam's revenue in 2015 was just peanuts compared to other countries. Assume that the Vietnam's JV generate 10/20 folds revenue, it is only 80mil maximum.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
