1. Judge recuse 2. Task force findings 3. Azizan cleared 4. Musa Hitam step down 5. Cimb involvement....GK Investment 6. GK recent large buy in again 7. Azizan recent buy in again 8. Timing of financial result which was out 22 Nov ......what is 1 mth after 22 Nov? anniversary?
9. Why did deputy md Eric Chan sell....450k share.? Is that a lot for a major player? 10. How can this end? ONLY WIN WIN situation!
EO may not be able to control when the announcement, neither can SIME or SC but mitigating factor is , it must be win win for all parties involve.........!!
On the negative side but maybe positive depending on how you look at it 1. Sime Darby has shown poor judgment in this aspect before 2. SC will need to show how to overcome loopholes like this and the recent to ensure they stay viable and respected.
The judge and the verdict have to be objective and fair in this case.
1. Objective in that the fact that Sime bought 30% is neither strategic business sense nor tactically business savvy since they are the single biggest share owner amongst the others (individually) but yet they refuse to commit the full buyout.
2. At the same time, why buy at 60% premium price in such a hurry if your are not committed to have full control. Otherwise they could have bought from open market and slowly accumulate. Yet they did not change the Management from the individual they bought the log stock and barrel from.
3. The judgment will have to show fairness in the sense that the 33% is still a loophole and SC will need to rectify that and their other weaknesses in their Governance to also protect the minority.
Finally understand the reason or reasons for delaying a verdict especially this one......it has to categorically in every aspect that I have shared showing the verdict on facts have decisive outcome (since earlier flip flop between the SC task force and the SC management) and one that cement this mistake with a solution while ensuring that the pass mistake should not be a burden on the minority.
Take Scomi for example, it's a two bid hostile fight where either party wins, there will be likely change of management. During the fight there will be undercutting, green mailing, before show hand right?
in the above, it's already show of hand in the sense that Sime Darby takes the 30% thru agreement between major shareholderS hence being the reason no board was required and thus Azizan claim no knowledge when he bought. Hence their approach is a technical one which both parties agree and does not breach the 33%
So now the BIGGEST THING that the JUDGE in my opinion need to ADDRESS the irregular trading arrising from this technicality. What is worst is Balki in Nov 2011 reiterated that they may in future want the GO......
logically nobody wants to buy a majority stake thru a marriage deal at a premium price and not the open market if they are not in a hurry right?
If they are in a hurry, why stop at 30% stake? Too much money to cough out (rm2.6 billion) for total buyout is what I believe. A quote fr Bakke on StarBizWeek below reported on 11 Sept 2011
“At an appropriate time, we will consider a GO. It could happen sooner or later but that will be a business call,” he said in an interview yesterday.
So there you go ...hope it gives everyone something to think about!
Not last year Passerby......long enough to know how Terry Tham thinks.....since the days when he was in full helm till today where he is a figure head based in London. Let's just say he is like Liew of Sp where their name is key to sustain trust
Ppl like Tonyliupar does not understand the game. They are speculators with no real objective apart from making the share price fluctuate and this become irregularities in trading. Don't forget he has called GO for almost 1 year now but all it did was creating fluctuations and disbelieve.
Have a look at Sime properties, SP Setia and etc.....look at the house prices.....majority above a million now. even Sime....there is a market. However ENO is niche in their concept nt just the price
initially, i just thought there will be 2 outcomes base on the news report.
1) judicial review - court over rules earlier SC decision - task force finding & judge recuse points
2) voluntarily GO - based on what CLSA reported earlier for better corporate governance & to safe certain ppl face
however, after i read tommylou story plot & links, i'm more under the influence of tommylou story links, you need to get him to show you all the links. he got a nice story plot there. it like the whole episode had been planned from the beginning :) he got all the politician links up together :)
