Actually we need to give VT credit when it's due: * Last week VT's family was in Japan specifically FS Kyoto.. but why hush it up? was it to meet-up a prospective buyer from US?...after all even Kim Kardashian gave her thumb's up during her stay there last week? * Also Morvin went to Monaco last week to follow-up with potential biz collaborations after VT's meeting with Prince Albert after the Icelandair Hotels purchase? * Also according to the Korea news report below: resolution on Compensation from Jeju Korea may come in 3 month's time by Oct/Nov? That's why VT jumped the gun to breach Bursa's free-float threshold of 85,%?
very likely vt will invite sultan johor to participate in the privatization of bjland... remember sultan johor also holds substantial stake in bjassets, etc

JDC may face W5.1 tril. suit over halted resort plan
The Jeju Free International City Development Center (JDC) may face a huge compensation suit by Berjaya Jeju Resort (BJR), a joint venture for the development of a resort complex which has been suspended.
Kim Han-wook, CEO of the JDC, said at a press conference Wednesday that he was told the project developer is preparing for the suit, seeking approximately 5.1 trillion won ($4.2 billion) in compensation for the project which was stopped last year.
The compensation reportedly includes damages such as construction costs, loss of future profits and losses from falling share prices.
BJR was established by the Berjaya Group, a Malaysian conglomerate, and the JDC, an affiliated organization of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) with stakes of 81 percent and 19 percent, respectively.
The project began in 2008 with 2.5 trillion won to create a resort area by 2017 in Yere-dong, Segwipo City on Jeju Island with residential condominiums, villas, hotels, a casino, a shopping complex and a medical center.
The JDC had promoted the project as a luxury, value-added resort complex targeting the wealthy elderly and tourists.
But the Supreme Court ordered the suspension of construction last April, citing that the developer had misled landowners over use of the site.
Four landowners filed the suit, claiming that the complex doesn't meet the requirements of the public good. The law on recreational zone development stipulates building facilities that contribute to residents' welfare for the public good.
The top court said that the project was invalid because it pursued profits earned from certain types of customers.
In November, BJR had already filed a suit against the JDC for halted construction in Gotjawal Village, the first part of the total nine-phase project, seeking 350 billion won in compensation.
In response to the lawsuit, Kim said that the JDC has been pushing for revision of the special law in the National Assembly to resume the project. The proposed revision would allow a wider concept of condominiums and other profit-making facilities to be constructed in recreational areas.
"We are preparing for the worst-case scenarios to minimize damages from investors, the provincial government and landowners," Kim said. "To do that, we will do our best to pass the revision of the special law."
However, even if the revision is passed, the project will go back to the drawing board for obtaining the land and approval.
fingers crossed , vt will announce A voluntary offer is a take-over offer for the shares of a company made by an offeror who has not incurred an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 14.1. An offeror may choose to make a general offer. for all equity shares in the target company
Dear all, Before the next AGM I will email to the Bjland Board if they agreed with major shareholder TSVT statement that Bjland current market price is severely undervalue then the Board should carry out share buy-back for the benefit of all shareholder rather than only benefit major shareholder TVST buying cheap-cheap from open market. Hence I would propose next Bjland AGM to include this resolution under renew authority for the Company to purchase its own shares (10% of the total number of issued shares) the board should make another resolution to waive the MGO if such buyback which may result in TSVT and persons acting in concert (“PACs”) holding more than the allowed share spread which will then trigger a mandatory takeover offer (“MGO”) on the remaining BJland shares not owned by TSVT and BJcorp. If this waiver resolution is passed/carried at Bjland next AGM then Bjland can buy-back 10% of it share from open market and automatically mop up the share from open market till TVST can owned more than 90% without taking Bjland private and Bjland market price will sky rocket to whatever price TVST desired.
sslee, I thought many of the small players hope Vt will privatise bjland. for the 10% shares buy back, I don't think it will ever happen as almost 85% is in vt hand now. secondary, most of the 15% owned by the heavy loss making retailers.
It's important to pre-emp any hanky-panky from happening and prevent SC/Bursa from giving anymore extensions to BJCorp/BJLand by alerting all biz newspapers like the:
Btw Since BJLand/BJCorp AGM is end of the month, it's a good time for VT to announce any restructuring to BJGroup since BJMedia also needs to present a Regularisation Plan to SC on an urgent basis?
I do think don't be too optimistic. vt of course well aware he breach the terms of making free float less than 15%. i think next week bursa will grant him extension again. at least, I am not the lucky one whenever in stockmarket, just wish I don't need to be the idiot by paying vt and his children the lavish lifestyle.
Sure some share holder will asking the status when came to AGM. Worst case some one need to up "Oppressive remedy" to ask big share holder to buy off from small share holder if they really plan to privatise.
I remember to some expert told me once that one of requirement to privatise a company, the buyer need to clear all the debt before privatise, BJLand debt recorded around RM3Bil. There is no doubt that Rich people like VT can make loan of such amount.
Next AGM will very interesting seeing company management answer minor share holder question.
With the new Financial end closed at June, the next AGM will only be held on Dec-2019. Therefore, the management may not face minority if the privatisation happen in these few months.
Since the SSA was dated 31 Jan 2019, it's already past the 180 days period that BJCorp would have been bound to offer at least the same Penta deal to minority shareholders of BJLand should and when the company make a General Offer to wrap up all BJLand shares. The new reference price is 16 sen unless there are new purchases made by BJCorp and PACs at higher prices or considerations later and before a General Offer is made.
Had VT launched a GO a few days ago, the Penta deal would have had a bearing on the new offer.
The privatisation exercise appears to be in the works with all the repositioning moves. The only problem is it's unconfirmed and the market can only speculate wildly about the details.
expecting bjcorp share price to fall pending the share swap with bjland... same offer to penta or higher in order to get the approval from the minority shareholders
Actually the conditional sale agreement for Penta to sell to BJLand shares to BJCorp was 30 Jan 2019.
However the actual completion date of share swap of BJLand shares by Penta & BJCorp was only completed on 6 March 2019.
Therefore the 38 sens share swap offer by BJCorp for Penta's BJLand shares still stands until 6 Sept. 2019 (6 Mths). Anybody can counter verify at link below...

Currently, the public shareholding spread of BLand stood at 19.95%. The Company has yet to formulate any formal rectification plan to address the shortfall in the Public Spread but will explore all possible options to meet the Public Spread within the extended period.
http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/6087465 With reference to Berjaya Land Berhad’s (“BLand”) announcement made on 20 December 2018, the Board of Directors of BLand now wishes to announce that following the completion of the acquisition of 230 million ordinary shares representing 4.61% equity interest in BLand by Juara Sejati Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Berjaya Corporation Berhad on 5 March 2019, the public shareholding spread (“Public Spread”) of BLand was reduced accordingly from 19.67% as earlier announced to 15.06%.

I have sent an e-mail to Bursa Malaysia (aduan@bursamalaysia.com, Chairman Datuk Shireen Ann Zaharah binti Muhiudeen (603) 2034 7338 Chairman@bursamalaysia.com AND SID Datuk Karownakaran @ Karunakaran a/l Ramasamy (603) 2297 2101 karu.kr@gmail.com) The rest, please cooperate and send it to other parties accordingly)
Dear Sirs/Madams, Greetings. We as shareholders of BJLand have been complaining against Bursa Malaysia that allowed public shareholdings spread from a minimum of 25% down to a minimum of 20% and then down to a minimum of 15%. We hope God will judge between us and Bursa for not protecting the benefits of retail investors and not upholding the right standard rules and regulations of Bursa Malaysia. Today, we see that from the link: http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcem... the public shareholding spread of BLand is 14.86% following the acquisition of shares in BLand by Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, a substantial shareholder of BLand on 2 August 2019. We really hope no bribery and corruption happen in Bursa Malaysia. Bursa should not once again allow lesser public spread shareholding to cap at lower than 15% after this. We hope Bursa shall immediately order the substantial shareholders, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun and his companies to buy back all shares from us with a good price as it has triggered MGO already. Thank you. We look forward to hearing from you soon
Dear Sirs/Madams, Further to my complaint above, I need to insert the details of how BoD of BJLand and its substantial shareholders BJCorp and Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun have never explored all possible options to meet the Public Spread within the extended period and worse still have never formulated any formal rectification plan to address the shortfall in the Public Spread since 18 August 2010 (Bursa Malaysia started approved BJLand application for acceptance of a lower public shareholding spread of 20%) through 20 December 2018 (Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad had approved a minimum public spread of 15% AGAIN) AND NOW ON 2 AUGUST 2019 the public shareholding spread of BLand is 14.86% PROVE THAT IT HAS NO INTENTION TO COMPLY with the required shareholding spread. During these 9 years time, BURSA MALAYSIA does not follow up closely and does not care about this matter. We as shareholders (minority) feel very disappointed as it has jeopardize our benefits, what more it shares price has been decreasing till 16 cents on 2 August, 2019 with its market capital of RM 800 million only which is far less than RM 1 billion.
My aim is to speed up Bursa rejecting BoD of BJLand to apply for acceptance of a lower public shareholding spread of 10% and thus make the substantial shareholders to offer us immediately. Could be just after 6 Sept. 2019, Bursa would not extend and would not approve anymore the acceptance of lower public shareholding spread. You all can copy and paste all thta I have given and make the similar complaints to all parties including Bursa Malaysia too. TQ. Good luck.
Ok, I agree that the effective date to be used should be the date the transacted was made as recorded by KLSE and that being 5th Mar 2019 implies it stays relevant until 4th Sep 2019. When the SSA becomes binding doesn't matter in this situation.
