the signs are there. so clear. puncak's share price pushed down to enable major shareholders to privatise. then they will use the money to buy some assets, then relist puncak. this way major shareholders will make $$$ two rounds.
Long term hold for its attractive cash value + new business + potential privatized.......short term trade for contra by capitalize its share volatility
speakup, unless Puncak never report or submit quarter report/annual report. Otherwise, by the latest end of Feb, shareholders who read report will realize for sure if Puncak is holding at least 2.70 +/- 0.10 per share. Once people know it, do you think its possible to offer shareholders takeover at 1.32-1.43?!? I can't rule out the possibility of acquiring garbage companies, but would have difficulties believing it, unless the garbage companies are owned by Rozali himself. But then, Rozali is not allowed to vote for the acquisition. Headache!
a good example will be Imagi International Holdins Limited , listed in HKEX under stock code 585. Look at what happen to this co after they sold their Christmas tree business. Tons on cash initially , but in end nearly...
agree with speakup...in that way, the major shareholder get most benefit from the cash pile from water sales... question is, how cheap they want to push the price down?
Look at it this way, Now at 1.07, if major shareholder offer to privatise at 20-30% premium (looks very generous and attractive), they will be forking out only about 1/2 the net cash of the company. Essentially they will own double of their privatisation investment! After it is privatised, they will give themselves back their initial investment. Then the remaining money will be used to buy some assets (likely O&G, plantation or construction), and then they will re-list back in bursa, at a high PE ratio.
And to get existing major shareholders EPF and Tabung Haji to agree to their privatisation plan is very easy. EPF & Tabung Haji will be offered to become pre-IPO investors. That way EPF and Tabung Haji will also reap big gains from the re-listing of Puncak after privatisation.
So the selldown of Puncak serves 2 purposes: #1. to enable major shareholders to privatise cheaply (primary purpose) #2. to washout weak holders (side effect)
It will succeed! That is why the need to PUSH DOWN the share price. They push it very low, so that they can offer a 20-30% premium to make it look attractive, a generous offer (from the current price)!
I agree with you that something smells fishy here; unfortunately I can't quite place what it is !!! :( Obviously, the price behavior since the conclusion of the water asset disposal and the promised RM1.00 special dividend was paid out simply defies logic ..... but to ascribe all these baffling transactions to Tan Sri Rozali is even more illogical ! To suggest a conspirational "privatization plan" by Tan Sri Rozali and other major shareholders is an insult to their integity and intelligence . Tan Sri Rozali is no fool, just do the maths of the major shareholding % structure and you will see for yourselves whether it is "doable' ! As I mentioned before, major shareholders and their interested parties must declare their transaction - so far, there is none .... zero !!!
The most sinister of them all..... is the one called Selected Capital Repayment..... where small ikan bilis are the selected ones.... to be paid off with the company's money... with the company's money... really rub it in.. this one
But with LTH and EPF around... is it likely to be successful?
Bloody pushing the price down from about 2.00 to 1.0x now..... and causing Kahoeng wrenching pain.... in such short time... for doing privatisation..... is kinda bloody too glaring isnt it???
Small share holders are just crumbs to the major shareholders. Some will make money, some will lose money, depends on their entry price.
The important thing is to get the major shareholders to collectively agree on privatisation. EPF and Tabung Haji can be persuaded by promising them to become pre-IPO investors before the future relisting after securing new bis.
Normally... if want to privatise.... the company will be left to linger in a state of half dead... for awhile
This case is kinda too quick........
If it is gonna be so glaring... with total disregard on ikan bilis feeling... then it is likely... and why not push the price way down to 0.80.........??
business is business. it's a dog eat dog world out there. so dont even EXPECT privatisation at rm2+. At best case, based on 'current' prices, i would expect a 20-30% "sweetener" (just to make it look attractive, generous)
