FCL will be a more focused sponsor of FCT and FCOT with some possible benefits:

- FCL’s balance sheet will be further strengthened through the re-capitalisation (net gearing lowered to 36%) thus boosting it's ability to collaborate with it's reits

- TCC Group will grant FCL the Right of First Refusal (“ROFR”) over any opportunity to invest in, develop and/or manage TCC Group’s real estate assets, and a right to participate in any bidding process in respect of TCC Group’s real estate assets anywhere in the world except for Thailand

Beautiful! Big Grin

Thanks Swakoo. Smile

The interesting thing is, F&N will subscribe for $1Bil of new FCL shares so that it can give out (all) as Dividend-in-Specie.. ie. F&N biz left with F&B + PP (Printing & Publishing)... no Properties! More details from pg12 of one of the SGX Annc.

Doesn't it the purpose? The most important is TCC continue to own it, in same % of stake, but higher in $ value

Assume Mr. Market value the FCL share in PB of 1 i.e S$5905 mil, then the DIS worth around $4.08 per F&N share owned. (refer to page 6 of the presentation slide below)

http://infopub.sgx.com/FileOpen/Investor...eID=254081

My previous latest valuation of F&N, after capital distribution of $3.28, was $5.75 base on SOTP. Property segment was valued at $5310 mil i.e. $3.68

Update the model now, with property valued as $5905 mil. The updated valuation of F&N pre-DIS is $6.16

So far so good, and more will come IMO...Big Grin

Current market, possible for FCL PB =1? I think Capitaland is ~0.8 now?



Woah... Opened @ $5.73, +24ct! Vol = 27

Citydev's PB is 1.2 now...Big Grin

The model is dynamic, and the numbers plug-in are also dynamic, will be updated regularly.

There are other factors considered e.g. impending REIT, inventory etc, instead of PB alone. PB=1 is for easy of presentation...Tongue

Thanks! I was lazy and only looked at Capitaland briefly as there're many similarities : Residential Property development, Serviced Apts (via Ascott brand), Office (CCT), Retail (CMT).
For CDL, they're 47% in Hotels by Revenue (18% by PBT) from 1H13 Presentations. maybe when TCC injects their Hotels in, it'll become more similar...Big Grin

Ok lah... lazy, take 1.2 + 0.8 and average to give 1.0 Tongue

IMO, it is unlikely a waiver for basic rule.

More likely is with more info released on the IPO, a solution might be proposed e.g. vendor share sale etc. Let's see whether I am wrong...

there is no $$ raised on the FCL listing.. it is by the way of introduction...just like how K-Green Trust was listed last time...

You guys didn't quote the whole context of my statement Big Grin It also says "Net net FNN is ATM but minorities will benefit as well, alas for the final time" Big Grin

It's not common that me and CityFarmer agree Big Grin but we knew TCC was going to milk FNN for what it is worth. With this ATM being exhausted, ie depleting cash and leveraging up, disposing asset to shrink holding company discount; it is probably time to think of exit strategy

End of the day we are having a good run on what BENEFITS TCC as a whole. Their objective is clear to me: 1) Milk FNN 2) increase FNN & FCL free float while restructuring such that TCC control FCL and ThaiBev FNN 3) delever ThaiBev. I am not sure they are actually minority interest friendly.

It is not the same if this is true:

I do agree with the milking (apologies if I seemed to be quoting you out of context but I was focussing on another point on the structure of FCL)... never any doubt at all, right from the beginning... In an earlier age, before it became illegal, it'd have been a quick and easy process to do the 'asset stripping'... and no need to share with MI...Tongue

F&N (ex-FCL) remains in a net cash position. Perhaps one last possible round of milking...? Maybe help ThaiBev in the process to delever? eg. Buy over loss making Beer operation to merge with Myanmar Beer for better efficiency,... blah.. blah.. Or, a more massive one, involving all the non-alcoholic beverages + Beer...

IMHO looks like gonna be TCC main focus will be on injecting asset into FCL REIT to monetise, and hang FNN & ThaiBev to dry on leverage as F&B are cashflow biz. I think FNN will be levered further, probably after a shareswap of FNN & FCL between TCC and ThaiBev.
