Thai Bev (THBEV SP): Exits Property, Boosts F&N Stake. Deal Valuation Seem Excessive
- Thai Beverage(THBEV SP) has proposed a share swap-deal with a promoter company to acquire additional stake in FraserAnd Neave(FNN SP) in exchange for Frasers Property at negotiated valuations, not market prices.
- Post-Completion of the swap deal with the promoter-owned entity, which requires shareholder approval, Thai Bev will hold a 69.6% stake in F&N and no stake in Fraser Property (FPL).
- If the stake swap were valued at yesterday’s closing share prices, it would imply a drop in the total stake value for Thai Bev after the proposed deal.
