Neither LTAT, Boustead or Bplant has come out to deny the media reports. Likewise, those potential acquirers like KLK, IOI, YTL whose names are mentioned are keeping silent too.
Calvin, Enough said about Bplant’s valuable assets. The money is still not yours until it is in your pocket. You should tell all your followers when can they see the money and at what price. $1.30, $1.50, $2.0 or $2.50 ? Your followers can not wait indefinitely and in the end get a short end of the stick like in the case of Boustead Holding.
Speakup, there is a camp who have off loaded Bplant at between 60+ sen to 90+ sen and you don’t expect them to say anything positive. For me, I can accept that price falling back to 70-80 sen if the impending M&A doesn’t come thru . CPO prospect (presently $3,700+) is improving. Although CPO price this year is visibly >RM1,000 lower than avg of last year , fertilizer cost which is the key component of cost of production is 50-60% lower than last year . Labour is abundant now to harvest the fruit. Hence , operating profit will be positive and reasonable dividends can be expected. I rather not bet against the potential M&A and lose the opportunity of reaping handsome gain . Everyone has own investment strategy and there is no absolute right or wrong.
We refer to the news article titled “Boustead said to be disposing of plantation arm” which appeared in The Edge Malaysia newspaper dated 19 June 2023.
The Company will release the necessary announcements in a timely manner to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad should there be any material information which falls under the Main Market Listing Requirements.
This announcement is dated 20 June 2023.
Look at the way the replied, it means something is going on, will release once it confirm.
Key points of theedge article- LTAT is looking for bids to sell off its holdings in bplant (ownership change, if it happens, it’s either bplant still being listed or share exchange with acquirer co), it will be good to see bplant being managed by a better co, perhaps u could study the dividend payout of the interested co). No matter what happen, the changes are at top level, so long as the acquirer co buy 50%+1 shares, they can conso the assets entirely. Hence no push to buy over the remaining shares.
The value unlocking will be at LTAT side, they realise the real value of the assets by ensuring their ask price for their 70%+ holdings take into count the real value of the assets. The acquirer co then unlock the 100% value when they conso bplant assets into their books, yes gains will be recognised, but it will be diluted as it’s shared with the shareholders of the acquiring co.
So it looks like LTAT is selling bplant, not privatising it. If the acquirer co is okay (which looks like the case), LTAT is the one that laugh all the way to Affin Bank.
U said got such rule, the burden to prove it’s u, not me… anyway, u can continue to live in ur bubble if u think there is… if tht makes u happy… wished u best of luck!
There is action behind the scene to check the price from rising too quickly and too high . The bid price and subsequent mandatory GO must appear to look very good mah…..
