KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 14): The unconditional mandatory takeover offer on TA Enterprise Bhd (TAE) by major shareholder Datuk Tony Tiah Thee Kian is viewed as unfair, but reasonable, and shareholders urged to accept the offer.
In an independent advice circular posted on Bursa Malaysia’s website today, independent advisor DWA Advisory Sdn Bhd said the 65.5 sen offer price for the shares that Tiah does not own (through TA Securities Holdings Bhd) constituted a discount of RM1.60 to RM1.61 or 71.11% to 71.24% to the estimated value of TAE shares, which are between RM2.25 and RM2.26 per share based on a sum of parts valuation.
KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 14): The FBM KLCI closed down 0.98 points or 0.06% at 1,635.71 today while Bursa Malaysia’s Technology Index rose over 3% to become the top percentage gainer among bourse gauges as investors weighed the economic impact of the nation’s reenforced Covid-19-driven Movement Control Order (MCO) across several states and federal territories.
Analysts said the MCO is expected to hurt Malaysia s economic and corporate earnings growth although such restricted-movement policy is also seen as a boon for Bursa-listed technology companies such as semiconductor manufacturers due to anticipation of higher demand for computer-related products.
