Anybody knows if there was a door gift announced for people who registered or voted?

There are more pressing matters to attend to, like vote, understand the financial position and future direction of the bank than door gifts. Why is it so important? Are you a collector?

Looking at the last 5 target price estimates, the highest is 2.25 and the lowest is 1.70: I suspect that after the dust settles from Sarawaks transaction there will be blood spilled from an over sell. Many fingers could be burned

All IB SELL CALL? HOW ?

IBs give sell call as affin PER is 14x plus plus....when most banks are at about 10x PER.... or below :-) happy hunting

Affin price will not likely to dip below 2.40 because that's the minimum price LTAT selling to Sarawak.

I have said this before, IBs are all calling for a SELL. The price is too hyped due to Sarawak news. Once it no longer is news but fact, the price in my opinion will dip.

There's a possibility that LTAT sale of Affin via Boustead to Sarawak will be called off due to pricing disagreement.

Sarawak's revenue is expected to hit RM16 billion this year. Every year expected to grow.
Sarawak can swallow Affin, easily.
My conviction remains. Affin will be gobbled up by Sarawak.

Maybe there will be an announcement tonight : Sarawak buys 20% of Affin from Boustead at RM2.60 per share.

Already June still Bank Negara refuses to approve a deal which is already done and dusted in December? Those LTAT personnel who agreed on the pricing to sell have all resigned back in January. The new Minister of Defense is insisting on higher price for such a sizeable block of Affin shares. The originally agreed price was at around RM2.40 (disclosed in the lastest Edge Weekly as RM2.42). I think LTAT is asking for RM2.60, just a bit more but Sarawak so stingy. So Bank Negara just put everything aside.

Abang Jo made a phone call to Bank Negara to ask why CNY come, CNY go, Raya come, Raya go, still deal for Sarawak to "take over" Affin no go? Bank Negara told Abang Jo to shut up and until today Abang Jo hasn't mentioned Affin.

“If they want to migrate to Sarawak, I say can, so I want to suggest to the Premier (Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg) as well, when we have our own bank later, those wishing to migrate to Sarawak must have minimum deposit of RM2 million in our state-owned bank, or purchase property here for no less than RM1.5 million. …This at least can generate income for our state. They can also get permanent resident status in Sarawak,” Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said on 27 April 2024.

I would like to suggest people use ChatGPT or google and ask “What is the ownership structure of a state-owned bank?”

Maybe that explains why the regulator is taking so long to assess the (complex) application. A state takeover of a commercial bank, no ?

Premier says deal to take over majority shares in a bank to be formalised on July 19
BY JUDE TOYAT ON JULY 5, 2024, FRIDAY AT 6:00 PM

KUCHING (July 5): Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg has hinted at an official signing ceremony to acquire a majority stake in a bank, most likely to be the long-speculated Affin Bank, this July 19.
While he did not specifically name the bank, Abang Johari said that Sarawak is set to take over a major financial block, positioning itself as a dominant player in Malaysia’s banking industry.

“There is no more secrecy. By then, we will officially sign to take over this major block, which includes substantial shares, soon, July 19,” he said in a press conference during the Amanah Saham Sarawak (Assar) dividend announcement at Hikmah Exchange Event Centre here today.

Abang Johari noted that this acquisition symbolises Sarawak reclaiming its former assets.
“We once lost what we had, and now we are taking it back. Previously, we had six banks taken from us, and now we are reclaiming them. Now we even have our own bank.

“The bank we are acquiring is bigger than those six banks, and we aim to become a dominant player in Malaysia’s banking business.

“Sarawak will play a crucial role, God willing, and this is reflected in our investment portfolio, which aims to boost Sarawak’s economy significantly,” he said.

RULE 9 ANNOUNCEMENT AND NOTICES

9.05 Announcements to be made by the offeror or potential offeror

(1) Before the board of the offeree is approached, the responsibility for making an announcement will normally rest with the offeror or potential offeror.

(2) The offeror or potential offeror should keep a close watch on the offeree share price and volume for signs of undue movement and must make an announcement–

(a) when, before the board of the offeree is approached, the offeree is the subject of rumour or speculation about a possible offer, or there is undue movement in its share price or a significant increase in the volume of share turnover, and there are reasonable grounds for concluding that it is the offeror or potential offeror’s actions which have directly contributed to the situation;

(b) where negotiations or discussions are about to be extended to include more than a very restricted number of people (outside those who need to know or are involved at that stage of the discussion and their immediate advisers) ;

(c) upon the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the voting shares or voting rights of the offeree which will lead to the acquirer being obliged to extend a mandatory offer obligation.


9.07 Possible offer announcement (1) When an announcement is required to be made pursuant to subparagraphs 9.05(2) and 9.06(2)(b) to (d), but the intention to make an offer is premature or have not been firmed up, the offeror, potential offeror or offeree is required to make a brief announcement that negotiations are taking place
