I have written in to BJCorp seeking the details of the MOU... wait till going through the MOU or if BJCorp refused to email me, I will seek SC intervention. Hopefully, SC will look into the deal and delay the deal until after the impact of covid-19 is clear where financial valuation is possible.
SSLee, You may add one more point. 7. As VT has conflict of interest on both BjCorp and BjRetail. He shall abstain from corporate decision for the above deal. Even by regulation the deal may not require approval from shareholders, BjCorp shall call for EGM to seek minority shareholders acceptance while he and his related parties shall abstain from the voting right..
In view of the current weak consumers spending sentiment and the fat profit generated from the four seasons hotel, surely VT will ensure the cash from bjcorp to be channel to his pocket.
That's his proven reliable record....hmm minority shareholders would be treated "fairly".....
(iii) The Proposed Acquisition shall be conditional upon, amongst others: (a) satisfactory due diligence on the Singer Group; (b) the approval of the shareholders of BCorporation at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened; (c) consent of the creditors and/or financiers of the Singer Group, if required; (d) approval from Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad(“Bursa Securities”)for the listing of and quotation for the Consideration Shares; (e) approvals or waivers from any other relevant regulatory orgovernmental authorities (where applicable);and (f) any other conditions which the parties may consider appropriate,
all of which shall be satisfied within six (6) months from the date of the definitive agreements to be entered into pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition (“Transaction Agreements”)or such other period as the parties may mutually agree
Looks like a Red Herring to me? To divert attention from the real target? Privatization of BJLand? since RM650 million is coming from Beijing SkyOcean? & more cash compensation from Jeju Korea?
For all we know the proposed MOU signed 2 June is not legally binding, to Acquire Singer may be aborted with 3 months before a Transaction Agreement is signed? This Transaction is also subjected to above mentioned conditions to be satisfied within 6 months by Dec.? Also Singer which was supposed to be injected into BJMedia to prevent delisting has not been resolved with SC by 20 June yet?
Think we need SC intervention through lengthy investigation into both Singer and the proposed deal before an EGM is convened to seek approval. There's little chance minorities are able to fight through EGM.
Tan will provide to BCorp a profit guarantee that Singer will achieve a profit after tax of RM20mil per year for 2020 and 2021.
PETALING JAYA: Berjaya CorpBhd has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Berjaya Retail Sdn Bhd (BRetail) and Tan Sri Vincent Tan, the major shareholder of both BCorp and BRetail, to acquire 100% stake in Singer (M) Sdn Bhd from BRetail for a net payment of RM388mil.

Yup! Red Herring!!! "Berjaya Media identified a white knight in the form of Singer (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, a private vehicle of Berjaya tycoon Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun.
But Singer was then embroiled in its own issues with companies commission Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) on its audited financial statements, a technical issue which is expected to be resolved by March 31. This would then allow Berjaya Media and Singer to enter a definitive agreement."
any good news for bjcorp? VT preferred bjcorp shares to singer shares? guaranteed singer bagi RM20mil to bjcorp for 2020 & 2021? hungry for bjcorp shares....
VT juga sapu from the open market... bjcorp - undervalued kah? :)

Just send the below email. As minority shareholders you can play your role in holding BOD accountable and answerable:
Dear SC, Bursa and MSWG, CC copy below email to SC, Bursa and MSWG for your reference/notice.
Dear Ms. Lydia Lye, Please forward this email to BJcorp Board of Directors
Dear The Board of Directors of BCorporation, With reference to below Bursa announcement: MOU BCorporation and BRetail have agreed in principle for BCorporationto acquire 100% equity interest in the Singer Group https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3055489 For shareholders’ information, the unaudited net assets of the Singer Group as at 31 December 2019 is RM561.00 million and the estimated total amount of inter-company debts owing by BRetail to the Singer Group as at 31 May 2020 is RM148.00 million. Assuming the final inter-company debt prior to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition remains at RM148.00million and no dividends are declared and paid by the Singer Group after the date of this MOU, the net payment for the Proposed Acquisition will be RM388 million. Hence, BCorporation will issue about 1,175.76million Consideration Shares for the net payment of RM388 million
May I ask the Board of Directors the following questions? 1. A profit guarantee that Singer will achieve a profit after tax of RM20 million per year for the financial years ending 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2021 for 1,175.76million bjcorp shares work out to be 20/1,175.76 = EPS of 1.7 cents. Is this value creation or dilution for Bjcorp? 2. Have the board work out with addition 1,175.76million Bjcorp shares what is the NTA per share dilution? Again is this share value creation or destroying? 3. Is the board of directors protecting the minority shareholders and Bjcorp interest or just work for the interest of Major shareholder TSVT? 4. Pardon me, is the one sided MOU show BOD had failed their duty in protecting the minority shareholders interests and the interests of Bjcorp? Isn’t this whole deal detrimental to Bjcorp interests and only serves to further enrich and increase TSVT control on Bjcorp? 5. May I know when BOD will take action on the BJland shareholder spread of less than 85%? 6. Is the addition 1,175.76 million bjcorp consideration shares is better serve Bjcorp interests if use to make a VGO (share swap or cash option) to take 77.84% subsidiary Bjland to become fully owned company of Bjcorp?
Agree with SSLee...anyway Looks like a Red Herring to me? To divert attention from the real target? Privatization of BJLand? since RM650 million is coming from Beijing SkyOcean? & more cash compensation from Jeju Korea?
For all we know the proposed MOU signed 2 June is not legally binding, to Acquire Singer may be aborted with 3 months before a Transaction Agreement is signed? This Transaction is also subjected to above mentioned conditions to be satisfied within 6 months by Dec.? Also Singer which is having issues with SC on its audited accounts was supposed to be injected into BJMedia to prevent delisting has not been resolved with SC by 20 June?
If u look at the recent QR, retained earnings was more than RM1.2bil, market cap below RM 1bil. The main reason could be without cash or share dividend to shareholders
Whatever reason VT has to throw shit at us, if we don't fight back and let the deal through, we'll be at losing end. I'll copy sslee's and have it emailed as well if bjcorp not sending me the MOU these 2 days

Berjaya Corporation

Horse racing
Through one of his representatives, Tan bought a 2-year-old colt from Doncaster Bloodstock Breeze-Up Sales back in April 2014 for £190,000.
Jeremy Gask, from Wiltshire, Australia, is the trainer of the horse. Gask’s business partner, Eamonn Wilmott said “We are very excited, and pleased to have Mr Tan involved. The horse looks exceptional and dominated the parade rings outside the sales.”
Philanthropy
Better Malaysia Foundation provides interest-free loans and scholarships to students in need which was founded by Vincent Tan. Forbes Asia’s list of Heroes of Philanthropy featured Tan back in 2011 for his donation of half his fortune to social causes.
RM 500,000 was donated by Vincent Tan to Mercy Malaysia and Tzu Chi Malaysia back in 2017, both organizations totalling up the sum of his donations to RM7.6 million.
any cross-selling between singer and cosway of bjcorp? acquisition of singer, PE should be lower to around 10, share price of bjcorp should be higher than 33sen. NTA of bjcorp RM1.20+, 50% of NTA~60sen :)
