Type Announcement Subject NEW ISSUE OF SECURITIES (CHAPTER 6 OF LISTING REQUIREMENTS) COMBINATION OF NEW ISSUE OF SECURITIES Description LONDON BISCUITS BERHAD ("LBB" OR "COMPANY")
PROPOSED PRIVATE PLACEMENT; PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE WITH WARRANTS; AND PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE
(COLLECTIVELY, THE "PROPOSALS") On behalf of the Board of Directors of LBB, M&A Securities Sdn Bhd wishes to announce that LBB proposes to undertake the following proposals:
(i) a private placement of up to 22,381,500 new ordinary shares in LBB, representing 10% of the share capital of LBB to independent third party investor(s) to be identified;
(ii) a renounceable rights issue of up to 82,065,548 new ordinary shares in LBB (“Rights Shares”) together with up to 82,065,548 free detachable warrants (“Warrants”) on the basis of 1 Rights Share for every 3 existing ordinary shares held in LBB together with 1 Warrant for every 1 Rights Share subscribed at an entitlement date and at an issue price to be determined later (“Proposed Rights Issue with Warrants”); and
(iii) a bonus issue of up to 82,065,548 new ordinary shares in LBB (“Bonus Shares”) on the basis of 1 Bonus Share for every 1 Rights Share subscribed under the Proposed Rights Issue with Warrants.
Further details of the Proposals are set out in the attachment below.
Since they throw in free warrant and free bonus share the proposal looks good and will enhance overall market price (unlock company value as you put it) and close up the gap with the company's NTA. Note that M&A Securities is the stockbrokering subsidiary of Insas.
US Fed is set to reduce its balance sheet this year and been actively raising interest rates. so, do you foresee a major correction is due to happen this year?
US Fed's move to keep raising interest rates ought to have been discounted by the stockmarket as this is not a surprise and has been anticipated. US interest rate has been very low for years and is still currently low at 1.25%. However in M'sia we have our 1MDB scandal which spooks the foreign funds. Recent drop in KLSE was probably due to 1MDB. I'm more concerned with Dow Jones approaching 22,000. Since Trump becoming President, DJ Index has been scaling new highs. As it goes higher and higher the risk of a correction becomes greater and NEARER. How near no one knows.
@TheContrarian , the bonus shares and warrants look attractive with the rigths but there is the private placement of 10% to consider. do u think still worth a punt????
@TheContrarian , just what i was thinking of. technically, the stock looks ok in the longer term but becos of the private placement, may act as a big dampener.
Previously private placement were fine. All taken by bod at rm1 when market was only 60 plus sen. Meaning the bod were pumping in money into the company. This benefitted the other minority SH. This round its below rm1. Even then its still ok because the other SH still get to maintain their shareholdings % at a lower cost compared to the buyers of private placement, rights with w n bonus. Basically if minorities SH shd tske up the rights if they want to stay with the com, otherwise sell out tmrw or else you will end up losing as the share price will adjust downwards after the rights.
@smartly... unfortunately no objective KPI for management and BOD. Most likely they are still rewarded with big $ and no one can sack them. KPI is only meant for employees or known as kaki and tangan.
@Jeffreyteck, these bunch of crook management is trying to siphon $$$ out from the company. look at their Plant & Machinery unusually high compare to Apollo. 467m vs 64m. yet unable to sustain earnings like Apollo. worst.. profit drop some more. 7 times of machinery compare to Apollo but sales is far worst than Apollo. where got logic ? the crook management is definitely have some hidden agenda behind having called for rights issue now. most likely buying overprice asset and cheap their way thru by siphoning the extra $$$ out to their pockets. better stay out.
@smartly.. TQVM for the info. Looks like the NTA has to be adjusted to reflect productive and efficient P&M. I gave up this counter. Unless it is for speculative play by speculators. Good luck.
Should punish counters without giving a reasonable dividend. Three times private placements over the past few years. Good in changing financial year, incorporate Kheesan accounts but subsequently abandoned it...Unless purposely push up the price, otherwise right issue will have to fix at a lower price which is not worth for the management to do so as they want $.
Good luck janggut. Just read its right and bonus issue notice. Bonus is only entitle for those who subscribed the right issue... Poor company, poor minority SH. No doubt the price may be pushed up for whatever purpose, we should punish company which keep on asking $ without giving sufficient dividend. In the coming AGM, suggest the company name change to Holland Biscuits would be more justifiable. Good luck.
