eddysurge, not sure what you are referring to. Earlier, before the purchase from Penta, BJCorp has disposed some BJLand shares. My guess, it is due to VT's total holding of BJLand exceeded 80% threshold. When BJCorp purchased from Penta, I thought an offer will be made right after then. Unfortunately, it is not, which is part of the reason why I'm so pissed off. It is not a matter of an offer price is able to satisfy the rest of minorities, its a matter of fairness.

1290---- said BJLand Nine-month net profit is 137 million. It is actually incorrect. BJLand doesn't own 100% of BJToto, thus, after taking out others' interest in BJToto, BJLand net profit for 9 months is only a miserable 1 million. The result is suggesting a poor other BJLand divisions mainly consisted of hotels, property development and investment.

0.40 dividend per year for 2 years straight. Hope this will be the minimum dividend going forward, hurray!

leek,

1. BURSA and SC could have required BJCorp making the offer to the rest of shareholders given spread in the first place. Allowing BJCorp to delay the process benefits those manipulating the share price, if any, but not the minorities.

2. There is no telling Penta is collecting BJLand shares in the open market. If yes, it would be a shame. If no, those buying for quick bucks awaiting BJCorp to make a mandatory offer will only suffer.

The latest event shows two things. 1. BURSA and SC have not acted fairly. 2. VT is still the old VT.

You are welcome

While BJCorp owns only about 77.7% of BJLand, VT actually owns about 84.6% of BJLand. If Penta ownership is included, VT already controls about 88% of BJLand. With less than 600 million shares that's actually floating, its difficult to believe Bursa and SC have acted in the best interests of minorities when approving the transaction without informing minorities VT's next move.

Bursa and SC have kept quite allowing the BJLand conversion of late, there's no more issue with shareholding spread concern right now. It will be only if VT decide to buy more...

all could also possibly due to liar-mentality and crappy management drives away fund managers, resulting in VT having to buy himself or through his associated companies...

It seems to me there's no fund interested to buy VT'shares for some reason right now. So, only option left is to have he himself or related companies buying...

VT can brag about future potential. However, if there's no earning reports that reflect these or dividends after asset disposal, what good is his words? Guess its equivalent to nothing but garbage.

Thanks for the trust...

Annetan, there are many reasons why Bjcorp raising interests in bjland. It's not a problem if the offer is extended to other minorities. It's a problem when an offer is only doled out to a particular party who had just acquired those stakes days before. What's worse, a deal that pushed public shareholding spread to 85% while bursa and SC are silent with no public announcement on the why! Even worse, the party involved sold his stakes to another party his 'converted' shares without any SC and Bursa investigation!!!

Oceansky, once below 5% ownership, there's no need to disclose sales or purchases, unless crossing over 5% again...

oceansky, if I were not wrong, BJLand owns a bank in Vietnam through JV...

I earlier thought the Vietnamese subsidiary to be sold refers to the hotel just sold recently. Having read this article, I think it could be the bank they're going to let go...

Err... probably because VT initiated a press conference telling Malaysians what he wants but none of his board members aware? Probably he said wanting to sell Kyoto four season but Okinawa four season is the one actually signed? Probably Penta can get special treatment to have his recently bought bjland exchanged into bjcorp at 0.38/0.30 that none of his other minorities is offered? Probably because penta sold or give his bjcorp shares to UBS right after his bjland shares exchanged into bjcorp shares?

LOL, who knows, this is boleh land. The most important thing is bursa already slapped us minorities hard not requiring an offer to the rest of us... and we should not forget that as a lesson investing in the future in bursa.

Gangnam, penta has over 7%, but sold to bjcorp only 4+% and yet Bursa approved it. If all sold to bjcorp, bursa will still accept 13% shareholding spread? I guess yes, given the 15% is a big joke. My broker already enlist bjland as non-marginable stock when spread is 20%,while bursa ok 15%?!? That's a big joke...

Gangnam, it's never a worry to majority shareholders piloting the listed companies if the share price is 5-10% of it's NA. Only when its cash flow is in trouble while debt is high is a major concern...

Profit announced has nothing to do with dividend. Dividend only affects cash flow

It's difficult to expect bjland showing profit when it's biggest contributor is bjtoto and yet it's having an additional 1.6 billion debt. Until bjland collects billion from asset disposal or through court ruling, there's nothing much to see. Given completion of Vietnam hotel disposal, next quarter shall be better.

I thought bjland will trade between 0.35-.42 to reflect the 0.37/.3 exchange offer. With bjland now at 0.285, real worry VT not offering much to us minorities... almost want to email the management, but too upset to write one, sigh!

claiming USD 350 million, that's approximately RM1.4 billion? I thought BJLand intends to collect a few billion RM in relation to the Jeju case?

its difficult not to wonder... VT said one thing, and the opposite can happen. Take for an example, VT mentioned about taking private BJLand and 7-11 end of last year in public only to be refuted by his board of directors. VT mentioned about selling Kyoto Four Season ended up with signing Okinawa Four Season. Penta bought(?) over 7% of BJLand only to convert less than 5% that's later sold(?) to UBS after exchanged into BJCorp shares.

OceanSky, are you referring to the following two news? The second refer to UBS? Why the need for Penta to act on behalf of them? Why can't they deal directly with them? Wonder...

Err.. how did you know it's UBS shares? You have insider info? Why can't UBS deal directly with bjcorp and needs penta as middleman?

Alas, think rules already broken, whether SC and Bursa approve them or not. Rules is not something like you can massage behind or believing something brewing soon. Minorities are definitely screwed by VT and/or penta+whoever.

So, basically, Penta buy 'quick quick' BJLand from 'someone' only to exchange it at a much higher ratio (0.38/0.30) in exchange for BJCorp shares that it then 'quick quick' sold to someone else. Bursa is allowing it and SC is keeping eyes closed?!? Nobody investigate who's those someone and their relation?

With the completed Vietnam hotel, Bjland, excluding bjtoto's net debt, is only left with 1.1 billion net debt... unfortunately, market has so little faith in VT that share price will not respond.

先学习同情投资他的小股东吧，现在有些虚伪作假。。。

Theoretically, yes, minority shareholders should consider selling bjcorp shares to buy bjland shares, a no brainer. With VT, though, it can a disaster... my personal opinion

Penta deal is telling me two things, VT is shrewd but VERY low class and dogs (or is it just rabbits, and we Chinese just enjoy throwing everything at dogs?) will keep eating shit, no matter what...

VT owns BURSA? Didn't BURSA realize Penta owns another 166 million shares?!? BURSA or BURSA CLOWN?

While Oriental cash and equivalent is approximately 4.4 billion, it does have borrowing, short- and long-term, totalling 1.9 billion. So, Oriental's net cash and equivalent is only 2.5 billion, still a very sizeable number, that's equivalent to approximately 4.00 per share!

Not likely, if it's Penta selling, it needs to be disclosed...

Lim Ha, I insist on at least an alternative to convert BJLand shares to BJCorp shares at 0.38/0.30 because Penta is receiving that offer. So long our BJLand shares are exchange at premium to BJCorp and we hold on to our converted shares, we will have a chance to recover from our investment in BJLand when BJCorp is trading above 0.30. It's difficult to expect 0.60-0.80 offer price now. I kind of hope that a dividend of 0.10 is declared before an 0.38/0.30 exchange offer, with the special dividend an offer to us holding on while the exchanged shares offer a chance of profitability after BJCorp is able to recoup its Toto business in Vietnam and property investment in Jeju, China, and Sungai Besi..

Completed the disposal of Vietnam hotel with money received. A relatively good news given dispute with China buyer still going on...


http://disclosure.bursamalaysia.com/FileAccess/apbursaweb/download?id=92929&name=EA_GA_ATTACHMENTS

unless the offered price is at least 5% higher than 0.38/0.30 x BJCorp share price, BURSA and SC might as well fire all staff to save the cost of listing!

i don't care, VT has to make an offer to BJLand minorities a privatization deal that include an option of 0.38/0.30 exchange for BJCorp shares like what he had offered Penta! AND SOON!

leek, VT has to extend the offer to Penta to the rest of BJLand shareholders, whether we want it or not! And it is Bursa and SC duty to make sure all minorities are treated equally.

Is investing community slapping VT on his face OR is VT slapping investing community? If its VT having the fun, Bursa and SC are offering a helping hand by keeping quiet and not putting any requirement over the BJLand to BJCorp share exchange...

Is investing community slapping VT on his face OR is VT slapping investing community? If its VT having the fun, Bursa and SC are offering a helping hand by keeping quiet and not putting any requirement over the BJLand to BJCorp share exchange...

There's approximately 600 million floating shares, 6 million traded shares is ONLY 1%

leek, VT privatized Berjaya Retail only to list it at a MUCH higher valuation through 7-11. VT privatized BR using his pocket money while its listed when its a subsidiary of BJCorp, meaning BJCorp selling cheap to VT!

leek, you must be dreaming. The most recent deal has suggested the most likely scenario is:

1) a cash 0.38 per share
OR
2) an exchange based on 0.38/0.30 ratio, approximately 1.267 BJCorp shares for each BJLand share

Only if they have insider information or they're idiots?

Bursa allowing the issuance of new shares to buy bjland with no string attached? LOL

I don't want 0.60, I want the 0.38/0.30 ratio to exchange for BJCorp shares!
