Hi lonewolf,
If CAPL wants CMA desperately, they should increase the offer and get it over and done with it. They have the money from divesting Australand. So, it is a matter of whether the long term benefits of integrating CMA into CAPL really worth paying more.
If not, then they can continue things as it is and comeback for CMA at a later date. I don't think having CMA listed will be a big problem for CAPL, just that they need to do more JVs for integrated development projects and need the hassle of getting shareholders from CMA side to agree on major transactions and/or IPTs. Afterall, CAPL already hold a controlling stake in CMA.

are misaligned. In a privatisation offer scenario, majority and minority shAreholders
are misaligned esp when there is possibility of minority shareholders being squeezed out by S215 CA compulsory acq. As I said before, IFA and IDs should not be anchored
to 'accept or reject' recommendations. The third alternative is doing nothing and the whole Board can continue to run the company for the benefit for ALL shareholders. E.g. K1, sembMarine etc.
To be fair to the IFA, their report on the CMA offer is quite comprehensive and they did discuss the factors for and against the offer before coming to a conclusion. Therefore, shareholders of CMA are encouraged to read the IFA report before making their final decision.
S215 CA compulsory acq is only applicable if the Offeror obtains more than 90% of the shares that they do not own before making the offer. It is quite a high acceptance level to achieve. Even if they don't execute S215 CA compulsory acq, SGX will suspend CMA due to not enough free float and they will be delisted as they would not be able to meet SGX listing requirement.
