Robert Kuok is Malaysia’s richest person with a net worth of US$17.9 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He also controls Singapore-listed Wilmar International Ltd, the world’s biggest palm oil producer, as well as real estate developer Kerry Properties Ltd and hotel operator Shangri-La Asia Ltd, both of which are listed in Hong Kong.
Mabel 12th Plantation PPB is part of Robert Kuok's Wilmar Plantation.
What is interesting is Plantation giant FGV Holdings Bhd has appointed RHB Investment Bank Bhd as its independent adviser, following the takeover offer by Federal Land Development Authority (Felda). Robert Kuok could be another potential contender to take over FGV beside Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar.
with the emergency, most funds (especially overseas) have no choice but to sell their positions. Not good for the minority opposing this privatization.
Robert Kuok has been scaling down Msia businesses. sold msia business mana ada chance want to invest more. FGV involve many settlers are Bumi status. Non Bumi can own kah. unlikely lah. Correct?
havent get my letter. Maybank kasi 20th jan deadline. ini macam how. force to accept early kah. if ada offer lebih tinggi kira bonus lah. No choice lah. deadline like this. I will redeem FD lah. Correct?
those want to reject the offer. sendiri tangguh risiko. FGV FD promosi ended at here at rm1.30. janji ditepati dalam jangka masa 2 bulan je. dapat FD rate few times better than bank rates. Well Done. Future apa nak jadi whether price up or down has nothing to do with FGV FD promoters any more. jangan ada something not nice happen later nak fitnah FGV FD promoters. Ini macam takda baik lah. Mau fair sikit ok. Correct?
KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 14): The Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) bought 22 million shares in FGV Holdings Bhd in the open market yesterday for RM28.38 million as part of its efforts to take the plantation company private.
The shares were bought at RM1.29 per share, slightly lower than the RM1.30 cash offer FELDA made for FGV shares, according to a statement from Maybank Investment Bank (Maybank IB).
On Tuesday, FELDA issued an offer document in relation to its unconditional mandatory takeover offer for all remaining ordinary shares in FGV which it does not already own.
The agency said the cash offer of RM1.30 per share is open for acceptances until Feb 2 unless extended or revised with an announcement to be made by Maybank IB.
Maybank IB is the principal adviser to FELDA for the offer document.
On Dec 8, FELDA proposed to launch the takeover offer after acquiring 222.48 million FGV shares (a 6.1% stake) held by Retirement Fund (Incorporated) (KWAP) and 283.71 million FGV shares (a 7.78% stake) held by Urusharta Jamaah Sdn Bhd for RM658 million cash.
The acquisitions raised FELDA's stake in FGV to 50.49%, triggering the requirement for the agency to extend the unconditional mandatory takeover offer.
FELDA said it does not intend to maintain the listing status of FGV on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia.
#Lukey_Greek In CGS-CIMB strategy note issued today, foreign institution just bought another RM84.9m nett (1.8% of total shares issued) FGV shares last week.
If the share price above 1.30, the MGO is failed. Even now not much selling volume at 1.30. 14/01/2021 3:57 PM
Thanks Lukey_Greek!
Based on the latest development
Quoted the following from CGS-CIMB strategy note dated 5th Jan 2021:
"Interestingly, FGV emerged as the top buy list of foreign investors last week after FELDA's takeover offer for FGV at RM1.30 per share became unconditional."
In CGS-CIMB strategy note issued today, foreign institution just bought another RM84.9m nett (1.8% of total shares issued) FGV shares. That’s another 65 million shares"

Based on general consensus Felda need 90% shareholding instead of 75% for complete take over..
Remember, the Cash-strapped FELDA has been looking to issue debt papers to help solve its woes. The green light for a government-guaranteed sukuk was obtained about two months ago. The potential sukuk issue of RM9.9 billion will largely be used to settle existing borrowings, according to Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar, who is chairman of a task force set up by the government to revive FELDA.
At a press conference on FELDA’s termination of its land lease agreement with FGV at end-October, Abdul Wahid said, “A chunk of the proceeds of the sukuk will be for the repayment of existing borrowings, and some for working capital.”
To put things into perspective, FELDA has amassed debts of RM10.2 billion.
Still want to go for Privatisation?
Potential is still worth waiting for big capital gain for FGV...
It's actually your call. Mabel and many of us have already given our views what we intend to do on our respective offer letters. It's a personal judgement.
Please scroll up what was discussed earlier by the Team.
Thanks Mabel. I know you mention the price will go higher than 1.3 . Similar with Dex question, what if we do nothing till closing date& time? Is our shares going to be forfeited?
@mikeazk my remisier told me that after Jan 20 the share will be still traded. Only after Felda gets 75% of the shares, and announce the date to delist FGV. My opinion also don't accept.
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....
