OFFER

Boustead Singapore makes 90 cent per share privatisation offer for Boustead Projects



Boustead Singapore came out with an unconditional offer to acquire shares it doesn’t own in Boustead Projects with a cash offer of 90c. 

On first look, it came across to me as an opportunistic offer that doesn’t take into account the substantial 30% discount to Nav of $1.265 and my back of envelope value of at least 50% discount to Rnav

Boustead Singapore cited the poor E&C business as the main reason for the offer. In my observation, E&C business is on a recovery as the recent contract win of 300m from a Fortune 500 company to build an industrial complex had put the E&C business on more firmer footing. Order book had reached pre covid high of 450m. Further more Property fund management and Vietnam business had exhibit strong growth to offset any weakness in the E&C

The offer also failed to address the deep undervalue of its property assets owned and under JV which are ripe for injection into Boustead industrial Fund. Most properties are kept at historical cost less depreciation. 

The company is in a net cash position to the tune of 49c cash per share. 

There is also a 4% stake in Beijing Tongzhou development which can worth up to 100m. 

Lone Wolf Fund is unlikely to accept the current offer.

    Hi,
    I have good news for potential NO voters!

    Wrong information is being posted regarding the "risk" of getting your shares delisted as a NO voter.

    The SGX listing code explicitly foresees a "sell-out right" during 3 months after vote results are in. Hence, no voters can always sell at a price at par with Yes voters.

    Can you share this clearly on all forums, together with the links below?
    Otherwise we might get the tragedy of mis-informed yes voters.

    https://resourcehub.bakermckenzie.com/en/resources/global-public-ma-guide/asia-pacific/singapore/topics/squeeze-out-of-minority-shareholders-after-completion-of-the-takeover

    Or page 499 https://www.bakermckenzie.com/-/media/files/insight/guides/2022/baker_mckenzie_global_public_ma_guide_2022.pdf

    More will follow to coordinate a large (and risk-free) NO vote to get much closer to a fair price. Rest assured.

    How can I contact you ?

    Thanks a lot !

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *T...

(The Death of the Singapore Stock Market) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end of month portfolio update) Today we are here to attend the funeral of the Singapore stock market. Besides the low valuation suffered by our market participants, investors of our market have to navigate the complexity of low ball offers from majority shareholders. One would expect a local banking giant to lead as a beacon for good corporate governance. Unfortunately, they have decided to turn a blind eye and join the dark side of the forces, blatantly ignoring the IFA report to pay a fair price for GEH. I could have walked away quietly by accepting the offer for a gain in excess of 40% in 3 months, but I can’t walk away without my conscience pushing me to express my thoughts on this whole takeover saga. I started the journey by supporting Chin Woo. His leadership is top-notch. I think most minority shareholders will agreed, without Chin Woo’s effort, the minority would have been in a much inferior position...

   (Image credit: NLB archive: Singapore Press Holdings; An old article on OCBC previous takeover of GEH in 2006. Is the end game near for the longest takeover exercise in Singapore corporate history that stretches across two decades?) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end May portfolio update) First of all before I go further, the views shared are mine, alone. It doesn’t reflect anybody views and it is also not to undermine the good work of the independent financial advisors which are been tasked to assess the fairness of this voluntary unconditional general offer by OCBC. Kindly do take my commentary with a pinch of salt given my vested interest in GEH. My view shouldn’t be taken as cardinal truth on what you should do with your GEH shares. Kindly do your own due diligence and seek professional advice. I praise and thank OCBC for starting the ball rolling with this privatisation offer. I believe the bank is capable of doing more for Great Eastern’s minorities. The offer of...
