IN mid-October, when Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary’s Perspective Lane (M) Sdn Bhd (PLSB) expressed interest in FGV Holdings Bhd, via an injection of plantation assets in exchange for shares, the valuation of FGV was at RM1.50 per share, say sources.
The plan was for PLSB to inject Tradewinds Plantation Bhd into FGV in return for a controlling block of shares in the company, but some sources who were privy to the details of the proposed deal questioned the valuation of Tradewinds. “It [Tradewinds’ valuation] was high, but I’m not sure how the talks went. I know FGV [officials] met up with them [Syed Mokhtar’s executives],” says one of the sources.
PERMODALAN Nasional Bhd (PNB) has disposed of the 21-storey Menara MIDF in Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur, to Singapore-based JD Hospitality Sdn Bhd. Sources say the deal, which took more than 18 months to complete from the time the building was first put up for sale, was done at RM140 million or RM875 psf.
The Edge has learnt that the new owner will retain the building as an office building but is likely to repurpose it as a hotel at a later stage. PNB’s wholly-owned subsidiary Malaysian Industrial Development Finance Bhd (MIDF), currently the sole tenant of the building, is scheduled to vacate the premises and relocate to Malaysia’s tallest tower PNB 118. Tenants are expected to begin moving into the building in the second half of 2022.
