I think CCCC, the reclamation contractor will take up some land n become strategic partner for STP2. This will be a positive news as CCCC will help develop and quicken the development of STP2 as a whole. STP2 will also be the Northern Malaysia business hub for Mainland Chinese corporations.
Investors buy into E&O mainly because of the land reclaimation of the 760 acres in STP2. The earnings from the reclamation will be massive. Its development is secondary comparatively.
However, E&O is quite successful in its recent launchings. The 2 blocks of Tamarind condos in STP is almost sold out. The Amaris n Ariza high end by the sea link houses in STP are the final pieces of landed properties in STP. Both launches are well received by the market. In near future, they will launch a condo project in Jalan Kia Peng, KL and the first phase of Elmina Wellness City in Shah Alam.
Hi enid888. Good to see you are sharing good info and making money in the process. I am here with a believe that a takeover will happen. Our friend Terry purchased the shares he sold previously to SD at 2.90. He deserves to make money and looking at the volume today something exciting has hit the fan. If this eventuates, you will make more than the pile you envisage, but much much earlier. I am a dreamer but have been known to have my dreams come true. Do I make sense people? Good luck all.
Dusti, takeover is possible only if Terry can get a loaded party/ parties to work together with him. If he works alone, I think the fund involved is too massive for him.
enid888 our buddy has friends all over the world. Let's wait patiently with fingers crossed. I think many are going to be very happy, except those who were happy yesterday selling. Smile and have a pleasant Thursday.
sydicated loan from bank not local fund to invest. increase in borrowing lah! Working for banks to paid interest if interest rate increase due to inflation.
E&O is currently funding the land reclamation almost entirely by borrowings. Last year, the property developer raised RM1 billion in syndicated facilities from Maybank Islamic Bhd and RHB Islamic Bank Bhd. But the borrowings are NOT ENOUGH to fund the land reclamation.
land reclamation take years to settle before development. cash got tie-up and interest rolling going to be no good to result. CCCC contract could be for the bridge connecting that reclamated land.
KUALA LUMPUR: Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O), which share price surged to a two-year high yesterday, is believed to have found a strategic investor who will pump in fresh capital to kick-start its second massive land reclamation project Phase 2A of the Seri Tanjung Pinang (STP) development.
The key word is "found a strategic investor", such a great news!
新闻 配合重大宣布 东家暂停交易 By Sangeetha Amarthalingam / theedgemarkets.com | March 30, 2017 : 11:32 AM MYT Printer-friendly versionSend by emailPDF version Translated by Google Translator: 选择语言▼ (吉隆坡30日讯)配合一项重大宣布,东家(Eastern & Oriental Bhd)今早9时起暂停交易。
enid888, Have you heard banks give out fund? Unless they are doing charity. I only heard about syndicated loan and the rate is always higher than you FD rate. 7~8% or more. Right!
I believe it is some foreign partner that JV with E&O. Likely is China based company with the CCCC as contractor. I don't believe bank will give you fund.
PETALING JAYA: Eastern & Oriental Bhd (E&O) has signed a partnership agreement with Retirement Inc Fund (KWAP) to take on Phase 2A of the Seri Tanjung Pinang (STP) development project in Penang.
It is known that both E&O and KWAP have signed the partnership agreement this morning. The partnership will see KWAP pumping capital in the sea-fronting development project near Penang island and also to take up a substantial stake in E&O.
This would be KWAP’s first property partnership.
Trading in the shares of E&O was voluntarily suspended from 9am on Thursday.
The project, Phase 2A, involves reclaiming 253 acres (102.38ha) of land, which has an estimated gross development value of RM20bil.
STP is a seafront development situated along Penang’s north-east coast between George Town and the beaches of Batu Ferringhi.
The reclamation project STP2 has already begun dredging works after securing all the necessary approvals.
The entire STP Phase 2 encompasses land reclamation of up to 760 acres under E&O’s concession. Phase 2A only makes up one-third of the reclaimable land.
Last year, the expiry for E&O to undertake the land reclamation was extended from 2019 by three years to 2022. The project was originally approved by the state government back in 1992.
Aside from the reclamation of 760 acres under the project’s concession agreement, which is slated to be completed by June 2018, E&O is reclaiming a further 131 acres at its own cost along the Gurney Drive foreshore for the Penang state government.
