27 already very very generous considering the lastest NTA of MAS is only 21sen. That's almost 30% PREMIUM to it's NTA. I had expected only about 23-25 max.
LETS REJECT TOGETHER.. but anyway, i believe this 0.27 wont work because those big sharks average up the price sure above 0.27. they wont sell to them. sarawak and sabah foundation they bought around rm1 that time..
We wish to announce that we have requested for the suspension in the trading of our ordinary shares on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) with effect from 9.00 a.m. on 8 August 2014 to 5.00 p.m. on 8 August 2014, as requested by Khazanah Nasional Berhad (“Khazanah”), being our major shareholder, pending for a proposal from Khazanah in relation to a material corporate exercise involving the Company. The request for suspension is made under subparagraph 3.1(b) of Practice Note No. 2 on Requests for Suspension of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities for the Main Market
A delisting would pave the way for Khazanah, which is chaired by Prime Minister Najib Razak, to revive the loss-making carrier, possibly by selling off its profitable engineering, airport services or budget airline units, trimming its payroll and installing a new management team.
Losing RM 700M of 60% holding for govt entity is small compare to national pride. Remember Sime Dary Eng lost RM 2 billion and doest not shake them anyway.during 98 we even lost more on derivatives.
Come on. Dont delist and just go on Revenue is RM 15 B. Govt have collect billions over the past 40 yrs. Everything paid already ma.
KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 8): Maybank IB Research has advised investors to accept Khazanah Nasional Bhd’s offer of 27 sen per Malaysian Airline system Bhd share it does not already own to take the airline private.
In a statement Friday, the state investment arm, which owns 69.37% of MAS, said it had submitted a formal request to MAS to undertake a selective capital reduction and repayment exercise.
Maybank IB analyst Mohshin Aziz in a note to clients said the long-awaited privatization by Khazanah Nasional would cost the state fund roughly RM1.4 billion to buyout shares that it doesn't already own.
He said the offer was unconditional, and will be pushed for completion as soon as possible.
“Go for it, take the offer and say thank you.. We have did an analysis on the sum-of-parts value of the Company a while ago and derive a value of RM4.1 billion or 25 sen.
“Therefore, Khazanah's offer of 27 sen is fair and in fact a nice 8% premium to our fair value,”he said.
Mohshin however added that any hope for a revised upward offer would not materialise, as its 2Q14 financial results to be released later this month would be awful and perhaps the worst in its history.
“When that happens, it will definitely spook everyone and evaporate any hope for a revised offer,” he said.
Malaysia Airlines to be taken private ahead of revamp
Deeply troubled Malaysia Airlines will be de-listed and taken private ahead of a major restructuring following the double disasters of MH370 and MH17, under a proposal announced Friday by its majority shareholder.
State investment vehicle Khazanah Nasional, which owns 70 percent of the flag-carrier, said it would purchase all minority shares and finalise a restructuring plan by the end of the month.
The move confirmed growing speculation that Khazanah planned to completely take over Malaysia Airlines to strengthen its hand in addressing the free-falling carrier's mounting problems.
Khazanah said all stakeholders will need to work together to save the company via a "complete overhaul of the national carrier on all relevant aspects ... (including) the airline's operations, business model, finances, human capital and regulatory environment."
"Nothing less will be required in order to revive our national airline to be profitable as a commercial entity and to serve its function as a critical national development entity," it said.
Malaysia Airlines has reeled from years of financial losses and its survival is now seen as in peril following this year's air catastrophes.
Flight MH370 disappeared mysteriously in March with 239 people aboard, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. No trace has been found and the airline was widely criticised for its handling of the crisis.
On July 17, MH17 was shot down over Ukraine, with another 298 people killed.
Though it formerly had a solid safety reputation, the carrier's association with tragedy has pummelled bookings, and analysts said it is burning through its cash reserves at a rate of around $2 million per day as it struggles to survive.
It lost 4.1 billion ringgit ($1.3 billion) from 2011-13, and a further 443 million ringgit in the first quarter of this year, blaming MH370's "dramatic impact" on bookings.
Earlier Friday, Malaysia Airlines had its shares suspended on the Kuala Lumpur stock exchange ahead of the Khazanah statement.
The company is expected to unveil its second-quarter earnings in mid-August.
Normally any material announcements the shares will be suspended. I predict they wanted to announce that they have reached the unconditional mandatory take-over. I dont know ho much they will offer to those shares that are still in the market.
Maybank IB are a bunch of morons! Back in June they valued MAS at 12 cents. Idiots! Now they want to claim their "analysis" is at 25? Unbelievable...http://goo.gl/EKcjld
