At stake is Sungei Bagan's 4.763 million shares in Great Eastern that has received a voluntary offer from Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC). Sungei Bagan's equity in Great Eastern, equivalent to 1%, has a value of S$121.93 million, or RM426.88 million, based on the price offered by OCBC for an 11.56% stake it does not own in the Singapore-based insurer for S$1.4 billion (RM4.9 billion).
Total he control more than 7.733 million great eastern share..meaning if he agrees to sell, Ocbc will be able to exercise compulsory take for rest of great eastern shares
“For years, Kuchai shareholders had held on to the shares with the view that Great Eastern would be privatised eventually. This was on the account that the shareholders of Great Eastern were already clamouring for the board to take action to enhance shareholder value.
“When OCBC finally made the general offer for Great Eastern, the upside directly benefits Sg Bagan shareholders,” says the shareholder.
The most valuable of Kuchai’s assets is a block of 3.032 million shares in Singapore-listed Great Eastern Holdings Ltd, the largest insurer in the region
Sg Bagan now owning 4.763 million shares in Great Eastern, which have a market value of S$121.93 million or RM426.88 million based on OCBC’s offer price
@AhPek I agree with you Biggest winner is SBagan But all the three musketeers will up together with Great Eastern deal Directly or indirectly all the three musketeers gain big harvest from this deal.
OCBC...so loaded but cheapskate...that's why failed in 2004 & 2006...& will likely fail in 2024 if bid not raised to closer to S$30! Hopefully, both sister cos. will not be swayed by their Lee Rubber affiliations & hold out for a better offer instead of caving in to the $25.60 offer. After all they have held on for the past 50+ years!
If they don't accept OCBC's offer, the three sisters will go back to sleep for another 50 years. Think everybody is old and tired already. Just accept and move on.
Mr Wong Hong Sun, whose grandfather was chairman of Great Eastern for close to 20 years, holds more than three million shares. “Even if I am not sentimental, I won’t sell,” he said. “Half price is no way.”
Can the deal go through? 🤞🤞
I pray pray the shareholders will accept the offer n the deal goes through!
Like what I said, if Ocbc can strike a deal with lee Thor seng.. they can compulsory acquire geh shares at that price.. lee Thor is one one the key with 7.733 million geh shares under his control
A piece of UNBELIEVABLE LUCK 2day!!! I managed to fortuitously grab 84 units of Sungei Bagan odd lots shortly after I logged in @ 4:10 pm offered for sale @ $4.77, thus saving $136 compared to the lowest price on the board lot mkt!!! SOLD 300 more units of sister Kuchai that roughly represents the no. of SBagan shares that I so fortunately bought @ a huge discount!!!
