Challenger Technologies (CHLG SP): Unconditional and Final Offer at S$0.60

By Arun George

  • Challenger Technologies (CHLG SP) has disclosed a final voluntary unconditional offer from Dymon Asia and the Loo Family at S$0.60 per share, a 7.1% premium to the previous S$0.56 offer. 
  • As predicted, the offer followed the recent SGX unconditional offer playbook – a lowball offer followed by declaring the offer final after a cursory bump.
  • The modest offer premium will still leave minorities aggrieved. Hitting the 90% compulsory threshold implies a minority acceptance rate of 31.3%. At the last close, the gross spread is 3.4%.

Challenger Tech: Offer Bumped & Declared Final

By David Blennerhassett

  • After consumer electronics retailer Challenger Technologies (CHLG SP) announced a voluntary unconditional cash offer of S$0.56/share on the 30 May, it has closed through terms every day. 
  • At a 3.1% and 4.3% to undisturbed and one-month VWAP, the Offer was low-balled. The Offeror (Dymon Asia and Challenger’s CEO Loo Leong Thye) have now bumped to S$0.60/share. 
  • The price has been declared final. It is still only a 9.1% premium to undisturbed. But it is a lifetime high.
