If the proposed disposal is not approved, Surin can't touch the cash hoard forever.I believe they have already planned since April. The data had indicated some abnormal transactions .
I have just read yesterday's announcement on how the $508 mil (71sen /share) from the 51% MPI disposal to be used - only 45sen is proposed to reward shareholder ! SU thinks we the minority investors have forgotten the huge proceeds from the balik pulau land sales ($226 mil) , Pengarang land sales($113mil) and the 1st 49% sales ($360 mil) totalling $699 mil ! Nothing is paid to shareholders from these previous asset monetisation over last 9 years! Nothing is spend on business development or in new busienss venture to enhance the value of the company!
Yesterday's proposal to reward only with meagre 45sen is not reasonable and can not be accepted. Shareholders must protest fiercely until justice is done. I will be writing a protest letter to the Board of MPHBcap to let them know there is no incentive for me to support the insurance disposal. My letter will be copied to Generali Asia, Malaysia's Minority Shareholders Watch Group (MMSWG) and some of the press as well. Minority shareholders who have the same feeling should do the same.
Irrespective of whether the dividend will be sweetened, we minority must continue to fight against "oppression" by controlling shareholders. Minority must wake up and show them the power.
45sen is reasonable lar, mphbcap wan to keep some cash for rainy day mah and for future acquisitions mah to grow the company. if mphbcap give out all the cash, shareholders will exit the company cos the slightest storm hit, the company will goyang. giving out 45sen ensures the future of the company is in strong footing. good for long term investors & shareholders of mphbcap.
if someone strike rm5million lottery, takkan want to spend it all on holiday, car, house, luxury items, etc sure will also want to keep maybe 1/2 in bank for rainy days and future mah. this is exactly what mphbcap is done. for the good of long term shareholders and investors.
@John, speakup not angry. If u look at my previous post, yes I said #3 below is getting screwed. I dont think 45sen is considered "minimum". Minimum to me is like 10sen 20sen. It's 45% of what u are expecting anyway. Definitely not minimum. Just to clear things up

1. Privatization but remain listing
Majorshareholder with 36.6% holding ( based on JoeZhang's data ) will offer RM3 per share ( against NA of 2.82 ) to remaining shareholders. If all shareholders taking the offer , will be RM1.35B Shareholders has the option to cash out or holding the stock. MPHBCAP will merge or JV with property development company to unlock the value of the asset. New shares will be issue through private placement
Scenario 2
Pay RM1 dividend. Keep remaining RM1 per share as working capital or acquisition of property development company to unlock the value of the asset
Scenario 3
Minimum dividend pay. Keep all cash for acquisition or working capital. Unlock the value of the asset
look at it this way, Favco giving away 85sen dividend which represents all it's net cash away. if another big financial crisis were to strike, Favco will be in trouble. I wouldn't want to be a Favco shareholder during such time.
Favco declared 85sen dividend when Favco was 2.40, now Favco 3.22+ so Mphbcap after declare 45sen dividend should be 1.57+0.45=2.02 When SCGM announced special dividend and capital repayment totalling RM2.21, share price dropped 9 sen to RM2.29.
This sounds like Puncak few year ago after it has sold its water business. Many years of losses after distribution. Not a good sign for minority shareholders. ********************************* Johnzhang Speakup, come on lah ! The proposed payout ($322 mil) is only 26.8% of the total $1.2 bil proceeds from all the assets monetized from day one including the final insurance sales. After the proposed dividend and capital repayment, $878 mil (1,200 mil - $322 mil) is retained and left idling . Pls tell us what existing business of mphb require cash standby of $878 mil to cushion economic crisis. Total revenue ex insurance sales is not even $50 mil a year ! If the management has not done anything to develop the landbanks or to look for new venture in the past 8 years to enhance the value of the share, what makes you think that they can and will do so now ? SU objective is just want to Screw your kau kau and you seem happy to that .
@Goh123, it's very hard to predict. In SCGM's case, retailers were predicting limit up but it was a shock when it went red. MphbCap has one similarity with SCGM, both needs 75% shareholders approval for their disposals. If not approved there will be no special dividend and capital repayment.
SCGM has been praised for being fair to minorities by proposing to pay out RM2.21 but yet the share price dropped and last closing price was merely RM2.29.
If Surin doesn't have the required 75% in his pocket, then he needs to buy up and share price will go north. If he already has 75% (via proxies and friendly parties) then price wouldn't move much and might even drop.
The proposed disposal of the insurance unit has already been announced 11 months ago, only the disposal consideration was not known then but if one does his homework, he would have been able to guess that the consideration would be around RM500 million, so it wasn't really a surprise (only dumb dumb The Edge predicted RM330 million). What retailers want to know 8s how much will be distributed as special dividend/capital repayment. Since there will be around RM1 billion cash available, most people expect generous payout.
@Johnzhang, I don't think that soon. MAA took several years before the controlling proposed a ridiculously low offer price and prior to that MAA's market price drifted down to 50 sen level.
I believe there's close to RM460 million invested in Nomura i-income Fund which will be liquidated soon since it has been classified as discontinued operation. There's no EGM required for the liquidation, so how does the Board of Directors plan to do with the additional RM460 million?
The Nomura i-income Fund was valued at RM380 million as at 31/12/2020 and close to RM460 million as at 31/12/2021. How did the value go up by RM80 million within a year. Did MphbCap buy more units of the Fund?
