BNM approved the disposal. The next thing will be the next big event will be the quantum of special dividend to be announced before EGM to seek shareholders’ approval. I hope the special dividend is extraordinary.
although i believe there will be a special bumper dividend, but i dont think mphbcap will be privatised. Surin will leave mphbcap listed to hold his property biz. likely just rename it mphbland or something.
net from this disposal should be 1 to 1.2 billion ringgit. It should have a few hundred million liquid asset as of now. Add both is at least 1.4 billion ringgit, to be divided amongst 715 million shares.
So possible 2 ringgit special dividend. And MPHBCap will still have all the properties to realize.
The first 49% was sold for $356 mil + some $20 mil (?) adjustment too. That was based on 2.45X price to book ratio.
I guess the remaining 51% may be based on the same valuation basis. If it is indeed based on same 2.45X price to book ratio ,the 51% may fetch over $500 mil as book value has gone up with retained earnings from the past 7 years .
MPHB can afford to pay up to $1 as special dividend. Upon completion of the insurance unit sales, it has nett current asset exceeding $1.2 billion . Let’s pray for that to happen.
SCGM to distribute to shareholders $2.25 per share from the disposal of packaging business. How much will MPHB cap distribute the proceed from insurance unit disposal totaling $900mil to $1 bil ( ie 49% earlier +51% now)? —————————- KUALA LUMPUR (May 9): Food packaging manufacturer SCGM Bhd has sealed a conditional share sale agreement (SSA) to sell its core plastic packaging business to two Japanese firms, Mitsui & Co and FP Corp (FPCO), for RM544.38 million cash.
Of the proposed proceeds of RM544.38 million, SCGM said in a filing with the stock exchange that RM425.56 million has been earmarked for a proposed distribution to its entitled shareholders within nine months.
For illustration purposes, the proposed distribution entails capital reduction and repayment of 36 sen per share, and proposed special dividend of RM1.85 per share. In total, shareholders will receive RM2.21 per share.
@Contrarian, my gut feeling tells me that the quantum of capital repayment and/or special dividend from MPHBcap will a big positive surprise too. Let’s just be patient a little longer for the announcement.
look at LITRAK, since the announcement of sale of its highways to ALR, it has gone up and maintained about 60-70sen from before announcement. That's about 15-18% up. but compared to MPHBCAP, since the announcement, MPHBCAP has only gone up 10-15sen. That's only about 7-11%
After selling the insurance, mphb still owns multi billion $ worth of good quality land in KL, Sgor, Penang and Johor.
Assuming mphb decides to distribute 100% of the insurance sales proceeds, the amount is estimated to be about $1.25 per share . And the company still left with about $300 -400 mil liquid current assets from previous land disposal in Penang and Pengarang + all the good value landbank . ———————————- Posted by speakup > 7 minutes ago | Report Abuse
SCGM is a almost an empty shell after the sale. not worthless, but maybe a few sens. IMO
@Johnzhang, if you study the latest Annual Report for the year ended 31.12.2021, most of the initial RM300 million plus disposal consideration have been invested into investment securities and unit trust. There was only RM8.5 million cash at bank outside the insurance subsidiary.
Ya. Investment securities and unit trust are very liquid assets too. There is some money in the credit business too. My point is there are still $3-400 mil nett liquid assets apart from the huge insurance sales proceed.
Youwin, I don’t think it is the case . There is no point to keep cash in bank more than necessary for operations. Must well park the idling cash in some liquid and safe investment that generate a few % return . I have been told during the AGMs that the investment securities and unit trusts are money market funds that could generate better return than FD .
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
