When ppl start selling ; then someone is collecting at a very cheap price. After that they will withdraw their offer and push up the shares and sell to make profit. Our SC not good enough to prevent such ppl from manipulating the market
Reported from theedge 8 hours ago Willowglen sees 24 million shares traded off-market
By Sulhi Azman | 2017-09-13 23:18:10 KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 13): Willowglen MSC Bhd saw 24.39 million shares, equivalent to 10.02% of its share capital, traded off-market today, according to Bloomberg data.
The shares were traded in three separate blocks at 80 sen per share, valuing the sale at RM19.51 million.
At 80 sen per share, the off-market shares were sold at a 37% discount to its closing price of RM1.27 today.
The identity of the sellers and buyers were not disclosed.
Meanwhile, on the open market, Willowglen saw 3.03 million shares, equivalent to 1.22% of its share capital, change hands.
Willowglen's managing director Wong Ah Chiew via New Advent Sdn Bhd had yesterday launched a takeover for the remaining shares that the group does not hold, at 80 sen per share.
Wong triggered the takeover after increasing his holdings in industrial automation technology solutions provider to 55% from 32.08%, following a series of purchase of shares previously.
Willowglen's closing price of RM1.27 (down 12 sen or 8.63% from yesterday) gives the group a market capitalisation of RM314.96 million.
seriously, i dont know why people are spooked by this takeover. The 80plus sen is between the major shareholders. why sell down? if company fundamentals are the same, and there is no additional float of shares, still want to sell down?
Haiz this is all panic sale. Unconditional mandatory takeover is not forced sale.. it will only happen if new avent owes 90% of shareholding (which means buys over all shares from OSK investment and very aggressive buys from open market; which is an action of substantial shareholders u will for sure be notified)... please read the circular carefully before you do anything.
To be honest, the boss is a very clever and savvy business man. Even thou this offer is complying with bursa law, I think every steps are utilized by the boss already.
Small shareholders could reject the offer and new avent states that they have no intention to delist this company. Unconditional mandatory takeover is a must offer based on bursa Malaysia regulations (My understanding, if I'm wrong pls correct me)

The problem with you is that you not only follow blindly in the stock market and lost hugely, you blindly talk nonsense.
What evidence you have that a good investor must be an accountant or must have CFA?
I have none of the above. See all the portfolios as established in i3investor, yes, all of them, either long or short term, make huge returns from the market.
I must say. ACCA, CFA or whatever does not make you an expert investor. It teaches you theory but you can't just apply directly to the market. More likely you need to have strong business sense and experience to make you a great investor.
However, I am always support the phrase that do not blindly follow.
Wondering who is "dare enough" buying while panic small shareholder is selling? There must be someone selling and someone buying, right? Or the major shareholder "magic show" from right pocket to left pocket?
Good point Mymediocre. Every settlement price involves a willing buyer and a willing seller. If it is 1.20 now it means sb buys at 1.20 despite d offer price is now 0.80 so the q is why would someone buys at 1.20
Again, I just want to repeat one fact. It is an unconditional n mandatory takeover because New Avent is now a majority shareholder offer an offer of 0.80, this offer has to be extended to all shareholders by law, sec 218(2) of CMSA if I haven to quote. NA has stated its intention to have this share remain listed, twice in bold until the circular. So if small shareholders do not sell their shares, then its px is determined by market px.
Totally agree with you Yixin Wong. It seems like the big boss is playing psychology game, juggling some share from pocket right to pocket left to press down the share price, at the same time "buying in" the cheap share from panic small shareholder. This tactic is good with cheapest cost, public announce offer MYR0.80, not need to fork out own share and take time to press down the price, but the panic small shareholder will voluntary surrender their share at lowest price.
This has shown the integrity of the management in Willow. Just leave this company and move on to other better companies. There are many much better companies in Bursa. Since this is the 3rd time OSK has done this, just avoid their counters in future and don't be fooled by their figures again.
A point to note here is unlike previous 3 cases where NTA far exceed offer price, owner can just take private and enjoy the benefits, here NTA 58 sen, but owner pays min. rm0.80, after offer period lapse, have to put up a good story to boost up the price again. so, if we are patient, its just a passing storm n the sun will shine brightly soon.
Anyhow, in my opinion , as minority shareholders we should not put our hard earn money in this sort of company, as we will not know when they are going to rob our money again.
There is no point to buy Willow. After I have received this shocking offer, I just realised that the current MD was also MD for PJ Dev from 1997 to 2013. So I am seeing the same pattern again.
If nobody bought yet why so many bother to be here?
hinata My remisier say don't enter now.. if really want to buy.. wait till next week...when the prices touches 80 cents range.. buy now sure lose money. 14/09/2017 19:50
Agree. So many cheaper counters in Bursa why must choose Willow?

If the major shareholders are not able to offer a premium over the prevailing market price, why would they still want to make an offer at all to buy out all other shareholders? And in this case, they publicly offer to buy out at 40% discount. How more stupid, selfish or sinister could any offer be? The implication is being felt now as their offer price could be seen by the market as the fair value the major shareholders think the company is worth. Any excess over 80sen is deemed unjustified since the major shareholders know it best and they are running the company actively with all the insider information. Clearly, it is an attempt to chase or squeeze out minority shareholders so that they can buy more shares at cheap prices in months or years to come when every existing shareholder has left. The existing laws must be amended to plug this loophole (of allowing major shareholders to offer buyout at big discounts) which penalizes the minority shareholders, in this case, severely.
