Cleverboy : This coming Wednesday will be the EGM, hopefully we will know whether any buyer interested in Rev 27% stake. If sell in open market, it will be a disaster cause Rev holds around 52m shares. And Icar volume lately around 60k ~ 300k. How long will it takes.....
If Icar trading around 1.15A$ now. Not much hope unless Varsales buy with a slight premium, say A$1.20. Very far from Icars high of aroung 1.80, unless markets turn and Rev could sell them over time as they have 1 year!! Also Icar has released 70.5m shares from escrow on 11/9/14. Must be a very brave investor to buy a huge chunk of Icar stake of Rev, unless they see huge potential in th eyears to come in Icar. Good luck folks.
Cleverboy : From the bursa announcement, all attending shareholders agree on Rev selling Icar share. That's why we can see higher volume on Icar today.
myoswee:Yesterday meeting ady pass... is it means that it will given us rm1.4 cash to us? will it be adjust the price based on what they selling?can they change it because before ady annouce rm1.4?
rocky888: The 1.40 only an illustration price. The real disposal price will depends how much Rev can sell on the open market which is 1.16 now / off market disposal
Datuk Larry Gan said the block of shares may be disposed of at a discount from the market price. "We have identified a strategic investor who has accumulated and increased their stake in the company," he added
Today Icar close at AUD 1.17. What price they going to sell? I'll be damn pissed if they sell below Carsales.com placement price of AUD 1.00 March this year.
myoswee, If you have rev, just hope that the management know what they are doing. Hope that they have in mind the minority shareholders. Crecimiento, where are you? Would love to hear your comments now!!
Cleverboy : I have no Rev in hand. Those management just want to press down the price and let all the minority interest who bought at 1.30 ~ 1.60 suffer. They will collect at low price and recycle the Icar news later.
Friends, i think myoswee is correct. This counter's story is not so simple one. If so good, why the major shareholders still don't want to do a privatization and then slowly sell down iCar stake? If iCar is so good, why in hurry to sell now? Not logic lah, the more I think think.
I think everyone should read this fellow postings on this counter. This fellow got both Rev Asia and Cuscapi correct.
I think I consider myself lucky because I didn't do any study before buying this counter. Tembak only. I consider lucky to make some profit and didn't get caught.
Methodmann : If you follow Patrick Grove, the founder of Catha group, you know he is venturing into another business like Netflix in US. I think that's why his group need funds to start the project. That's why Catcha do not privatise Icar.
However, I do not like what he does to announce something which is not fix (No potential buyer and price) and take advantage of the minority interest.
Not about privatise iCar, but privatise REV. Because if iCar stake is so valuation that worth more than market cap of REV, I can't think of any reason why the major shareholders won't privatize REV for a good profit, then re-list REV.
Hi myoswee. Even if got new project, the founder no need to sell shares what. I think he can pledge his Rev shares to financiers to get financing. Like what RHB analyst says, Rev shares are solidly back by iCar value. So no issue at all for financier :)
Of course this method cannot work if the shares are considered not enough value or too risky. This is why I think the story is not so simple loh.
The same senario can be found in almost every red chips listed in Bursa. They all "cash rich" but keep asking money from shareholders. The "cash" is multiple of their market cap, something must be wrong there. In recent years, we started seeing one after another of these stocks posting extremely lower revenue and profits, some even net loss. And the cash? Can't trust at all.
"To dispose at the discount price" is very dangerous words. How much discount? Never mentioned. Small caps sometimes disposing shares at 50% discount, remember iCar is still at net loss. So be carefully here.
Hi fong7, i think i read in their announcement, discount is not more than 25% of the market price of iCar. I actually thought of re-entering this counter at 92sen but I worry will get stuck. First time lucky, second time might die standing.
Better stay away. If things turn positive, good for those that spend nights of worry. Yes agree with methodmann and myoswee. These counters dangerous. Buy maybank, get dividends and capital gain. Maybk of course slow but secure. Expanding into other Asean countries too. Look at Public Bank shooting up. Maybank will give you dividends but capital gains will depend on managementsd abilities to execute more profits and better manage all their exposures.
sale of Rev shares if depend on market price of Icar, bit hard to get the price they assumed in calculations. On the other hand, the question is can management manage to get higher price than current market values of Icar price???
Good to hear from you myoswee. The thing is they announce and can we believe them as they hold all the real information close top their chest. Thats why when they announced the deal the share went limit up and they all probably sold all their shares. WE all read with glee the price they will sell on the assumed price and not read the full report properly. I think "they" made money on the selldown when they first announced the deal. Lot of us find it hard to read their minds and by then it is too late for many small investors, left with the crumbs.
Cleverboy : This is just round 1. After all the minority interest give up on REV and sold all their shares to them, rumours will fly around saying there are potential buyers of Icar identified and price will be xxx.
Since the disposal will be completed within one year, they can fool the minority interest again and again with rumours and lies. Beware of this counter, do not chase it.
Hi myoswee, anymore thoughts about this counter. How have been your investing. Any counter you have been investing in. Please tell me why you invest in these counters.
My kepala pusing already. iCar placed out new shares at AUD1.10 to get AUD21million proceed to buy Thailand competitor for AUD16.7million. Many people is brought to Holland with this price of AUD1.10. How Rev Asia can sell their shares at AUD1.54?
Some more, this iCar is placing out more new shares to Australian and New Zealand shareholders for also AUD1.10.
Pity those who bought Rev Asia at RM1.50 and above.
If there is someone buying the placement @ AUD 1.10, at least we know the disposal price will be around there.
If Rev able to sell all their Icar share @ AUD 1.10 , it will translate to payment of dividend of around RM 1.10 to shareholders of Rev. That is a big 'IF'
I'm not taking the chances, just too much uncertainty and secrets kept by the management.
