I am keeping my shares until a better offer comes along, actually the 1st offer of 38 sens was the the share price around October last year before the suspension of Hovids' manufacturing license so there was actually no premium at all for medium to long term investors. See profitability trend below: 2013 Profit of RM20.327 million 2014 Profit of RM18.084 million 2015 Profit of RM20.909 million 2016 Profit of RM17.896 million 2017 Loss of RM1.528 million (loss incurred due to revocation of manufacturing licence and not loss due to lack of demand)
Now since the Manufacturing licence has been reinstated and manufacturing capacity has increased by 200%,, I can only see growth and profitability for Hovid for 2018 and beyond! otherwise Tael Partners would not has identified Hovid's as a growth oriented investment ripe for acquisition camouflaged as "Privatisation Exercise". Once they successfully acquire Hovid at a bargain price, they will sell their shares profitably to the highest bidder or relist again as a new entity in one to 2 years time.
Hovid bounced back very fast...The latest quarter to quarter profits increase by 133.5% to RM2.155 million which is a sign of recovery...the next few quarters will show even better profitability once the extra capacity from Chemor plant is ready by December, as the factories are running at 24 hours which means plenty of orders to meet!
The revenue is higher as compared to previous year. However operating expenses also higher as I expect they need to pay double pay for those OT shift workers as the manufacturing lines need to operate 24 hours to chase back the production.
MOST importantly, it is profitable now, I expect the operating expenses will go down once the production lane stable down.
The first closing date is 20/11, the joint offerors may announce a new closing date if they have not achieved 90% acceptance from the shareholders at least 2 days before the closing date, that is Friday 17/11. The 2nd closing date will be extended at least 14 days from the first closing date that is 4 December with the revised offer.
Wait for the official announcement by CIMB...anyway if the offerors offer to buy from open market at 41 sens...I am very sure there will be more sellers. Last check Cold Eyed is still keeping his shares :)
Then wat do u think the reasonable offer price will be? rm1? chance to let u get out from losses not happy? find another undervalue stock very difficult?
Good decision...actually the hint for a better offer from the Offerors is already up there...last count most of the institutional shareholders, both local and foreign already owns more than 10% of the shares excluding Cold Eyed...mark my words there will be a revised offer and extension of time...
I heard that if they revise the price, those who willing to sell at 0.38 also will get the new price. It is so unfair to those who hold. Those coward should just take the 0.38 and those who hold shall get a better offer.

Look man...when you type 'I HEARD THAT' ...it means at this point it is still a rumour.
I oready at favour position, why not expect HSS to raise 20% more than 0.38. If i holding the shares and not doing anything, my minimum return at least 16% (the annualised rate of return on 0.015 / 0.037 = 16%).
just keep the share for now la.. Even they goes unlist this round, they will trying to relist HOVID again in next 2-3 years. At that time, they will sell at higher premium and you will still gain. When we talk about investment, talk about long term. Don kill the chicken that lay egg now.
mamakspecial, when I said "I heard" it depend on which source I heard from. If I heard from i3 forum here, then high chances it is a rumour. If I heard from a reliable/remisier, it is almost 99% confirmed.
The premium for the Ordinary Shares (with voting and dividend rights & no expiry date) is only 20.55% to 5 days the VWAP i.e from 31.5 sens to 38 sens, while the Warrants (no voting and dividend rights expiry date 5 June 2018, exercise 18 sens (1:1) to convert to Ordinary Share) gets a premium of 45.02% to the 5 days VWAP i.e from 13.5 sens to 20 sens.
Why the offerors gave a higher premium of 45.02% for Warrants compared to only 20.55% for Ordinary Shares?, why the disparity in premium offered for Warrants & Ordinary Shares?, if they offer the same premium of 45.02% for Ordinary Shares, the offer price should be 45 sens.
e.g. 1. If they raise the offer price to 41 sens, the extra 3 sens payable (RM0.03 x 544,085,171) only cost extra RM16.32 million, in Singapore Dollars only $5.94 million. 2. If the offer price is 45 sens, the extra 7 sens payable (RM0.07 x 544,085,171) only cost extra RM38.05 million, in Singapore Dollars only $12.55 million
Mind you this is a privatisation exercise, meaning the medium and the long-term shareholders would be deprived of the future benefits through better share price and dividends in future should the privatisation be successful and their shares are taken over through a mandatory offer, if they achieve 90% at the current offer price of 38 sens for ordinary shares.
Quote "Ho is the single-largest shareholder of Hovid, with an equity interest of 33.72%. He is also Hovid’s managing director.
Fajar Astoria is a special-purpose vehicle incorporated to undertake the offer with Ho. It was set up by TAEL Two Partners Ltd.
“The joint offerers (Ho and Fajar Astoria) offer to undertake a conditional voluntary takeover offer to acquire 544,085,171 ordinary shares not already held by them, representing about 66.28% of the total shares.
“In addition, the joint offerers wish to acquire 181,841,209 units of outstanding five-year warrants, representing about 56.43% of the total warrants,” the announcement said.
The offer price for the remaining ordinary shares represented a premium of 20.55% to the adjusted five-day volume-weighted average market price (VWAP) of the shares until Oct 6.
As for the warrants, the offer price stood at a premium of 45.02% to the five-day VWAP until Oct 6"
Currently 1USD = RM4.16 e.g. 1. If they raise the offer price to 41 sens, the extra 3 sens payable (RM0.03 x 544,085,171) only cost extra RM16.32 million, in USD only USD$3.92 million. 2. If the offer price is 45 sens, the extra 7 sens payable (RM0.07 x 544,085,171) only cost extra RM38.05 million, in USD only USD9.13 million
But don't delay too long with the revised offer, since Malaysia GDP has gone up to 6.2% and crude oil price is increasing, the RM will strengthen further and the Offerors may end up paying more if the Privatisation Exercise drags into next year! They may end up penny wise but pound foolish...
