from what I read, the whole deal is for Wing Tai (HK) to own 100% of its desired business without any cash outlay. Essentially, the proceed from sale of shares in Winsor is used to buy out all minority shareholders in the privateco (distribution in specie).

Wing Tai HK also profits out of the transaction anyway. plus they get cash dividends from Winsor properties.
More importantly Wing Tai stake in Wing tai HK has jumped up by 40million SGD.
And take a close look at Wing Tai Malaysia. They are going to declare section 108 tax credits dividend back to shareholders soon.
dividend out from Wing Tai Malaysia is more bad news than good news. It is taking cash out of Wing Tai as Wing Tai Malaysia is a subsidiary of Wing Tai, the value of Wing Tai is it as a group rather than an individual company.

section A is to vote "FOR" or "AGAINST".
section B is to surrender part or all of your shares. If you don't wish to accept Cheung's offer, just fill section B with 0 & 0.

i mean if majority voted for will it over-ride the minority voted against. Or can i still retain my against vote.

as long as you fill section B with 0s, no matter the result is "FOR" or "AGAINST", you will not lose your shares.
Isnt it a good idea to sell our shares to cheung brothers at $1.39 and buy back from the open market at a lower price, regardless of the price we paid for our shares?
I can understand that if we have bought the shares at say $1.60, it feels silly to sell at a loss but it seems like you can buy back the shares at a lower price than 1.39
I am making the assumption that after the partial offer, the share price should remain at 1.30 or below. Given the current bear market, it seems likely
