In today’s briefing:

  • Golden Energy & Resources (GER SP)’s Lacking Offer from the Widjaja Family

Golden Energy & Resources (GER SP)’s Lacking Offer from the Widjaja Family

By Arun George

  • Golden Energy & Resources (GER SP)‘s proposal from the Widjaja family – The distribution proposal (1.3936 GEMS share per share or IDR5,500 per GEMS share) and the delisting proposal (S$0.160).
  • For minorities, the good news is that the distribution share ratio is in line with the control ratio and offers are at a premium to historical share prices/multiples. 
  • The bad news is that the distribution cash alternative is unattractive and the delisting offer values GEAR at a discount to the Stanmore Coal (SMR AU) stake adjusted for debt.

Singapore Medical: TTW Bumps To S$0.40

By David Blennerhassett

  • I should have stuck to my guns.  Singapore Medical (SMG SP)‘s original Exit Offer was low-balled. The IFA all but conceded this. I mused that TTW probably needed to bump.
  • And now TTW has, bumping the Offer by 8.1% to S$0.40/share, and declaring the terms final.
  • The Offer remains subject to TTW holding 90% (with 77.42% in the bag already). The Offer has been extended to the 5 December. 

Alternative Assets Marketplace Fundnel Buys Hg Exchange, Rebrands as Alta

By e27

  • Singapore-based Fundnel, a leading digital marketplace for alternative investments, has acquired the blockchain-powered private digital securities exchange Hg Exchange (HGX).
  • According to a press release, the acquisition will enable Alta to support the tokenisation and digital custody of alternative assets.
  • This will create an end-to-end solution that makes it cheaper and faster to trade private securities, funds, and asset-backed securities like real estate and luxury assets.

Luminor Financial Leverages Asian SME Growth Engine

By Geoff Howie

  • Luminor Financial Leverages Asian SME Growth Engine “That’s where Luminor Financial has stepped in – we identified a huge gap in the market where SMEs are unable to obtain financing from traditional banks for various reasons,” she noted.
  • Luminor is a financial solutions business that aims to provide innovative financing solutions to SMEs across the region.

In today’s briefing:

  • Singapore Medical’s VGO: Revised Offer of S$0.40 Is Good to Go

Singapore Medical’s VGO: Revised Offer of S$0.40 Is Good to Go

By Arun George

  • Singapore Medical (SMG SP)‘s voluntary conditional offer from management (chairman, CEO, exec director) has been increased from S$0.37 to S$0.40 per share (share option unchanged). 
  • The revised offer is final unless there is a competitive situation. The offeror came to the realisation that a bump was required to meet the 90% minimum acceptance condition.
  • Acceptances stand at 77.42% of outstanding shares. The revised offer is now reasonable and should be sufficient to nudge holdouts to accept. At last close, the gross spread is 5.3%.

Singapore Medical’s VGO: Acceptances at 77.37%, Closing Date Now 15 Nov

By Arun George

  • Singapore Medical (SMG SP)‘s voluntary conditional offer from management (chairman, CEO, exec director) has received acceptances of 77.37% of outstanding shares, below the 90% minimum acceptance condition.
  • The closing date has been extended to 15 November. To hit the 90% minimum acceptance condition, the offeror requires a 55.8% acceptance rate from the remaining holdout minorities.
  • The IFA previously declared the offer “not fair but reasonable.” The gross spread of 1.4% is not an attractive risk/reward profile. We continue to recommend taking profits.

Singapore Medical Extends Offer As Tendering Surprises

By David Blennerhassett

  • Back on the 14 September, healthcare provider Singapore Medical (SMG SP) announced a  voluntary MBO from TLW at S$0.37/share.  The IFA concluded the Offer was “not fair but reasonable”. 
  • The Offer is conditional on 90% of shares out held by the Offeror, and the TLW shareholders plus irrevocables hold 51.67% all-in. This 90% conditionality is firm. 
  • As of the first close, TLW now has 77.37%. The Offer has been extended by a fortnight. The Offer price has NOT been declared final.

Moya Holdings: 21 Nov EGM For Salim’s Exit Offer

By David Blennerhassett

  • On the 14 September, Indonesian water treatment play Moya Holdings Asia (MHAL SP) announced a S$0.092/share Exit Offer from an Anthoni Salim-controlled entity. The Offer price will not be increased.
  • The Offer requires approval from 75% of disinterested shareholders. Tamaris and its concert parties hold 72.84%.
  • The Circular is now out. The EGM takes place on the 21 November. The IFA reckons the Offer is fair and reasonable. 

Moya Holding’s EGM for S$0.092 Offer on 21 November

By Arun George

  • Moya Holdings Asia (MHAL SP) released its delisting circular. The EGM to approve the delisting proposal from Tamaris Infrastructure (Anthoni Salim) at S$0.092 per share is on 21 November.
  • The IFA says the offer is fair and reasonable. Gateway Partners, which holds a blocking stake, will likely use the offer as an opportunity to exit an underperforming investment.
  • The offer price is attractive and will likely succeed. At the last close price, the gross and annualised spread for a 30 November payment is 3.4% and 45.8%, respectively.

Last Week In Event SPACE: Keppel/Sembcorp, Socionext, Jinke Smart, Hitachi Transport, Lifestyle Intl

By David Blennerhassett

  • Under revised terms, Sembcorp (SMM SP) will issue fewer shares to Keppel (KEP SP). It’s now a takeover rather than Scheme. Keppel will deliver more shares to shareholders, keeping less.  
  • Stay cautiously positive on Socionext (6526 JP) until the stock starts trading as if those who bought on momentum look like they are getting out. 
  • With investors chucking in the towel and the HSI touching a thirteen-year low, it’s time for some old-school perspective applying Benjamin Graham’s Net Nets
