The Japs are clearly out to screw Koh with this poison pill tactic. There is no clear need to raise funds at the moment as admitted in the announcement.

The Japs are also circumventing SGX rules by doing a bond issue because a bond issue does not need SGX approval compared to a general rights issue

If Want to unlock value, sometime need to follow major shareholders all the way.

Major shareholders put in money also need to take out in future.

Certainly not with LCD's former holders, their new buyers and also the hostile interests... I have no confidence...

More pattern and more drama coming for JTrust that's deemed not experience in this area? Are they a "financier" or really keen on asset?

LCD worth much more than 25-30cts to be worth fighting...

Looks like Koh is catalyst for JTrust to be white knight then

interesting... how does Koh fit into this... is he opportunistic or he was catalyst

Takeover offer is here! 33c a share from Mr Koh! Assuming no rights issue. Or 30c if the RCB issues goes ahead

This thread should really be renamed AF Global and moved to the appropriate subforum.

Since the takeover, AF Global has been distributing significantly more dividends than it earns.
For FY 2015, EPS was only 1.07c, but a total of 3.50c of dividends/share were paid out.
Likewise, this year EPS for 9M 2016 adds up to only 0.55c, but management has already declared interim and final dividends/share of 2.25c.

Are the Koh brothers using the cash generated from this company to service debt in their main companies? Aspial in particular is quite heavily indebted... but why make an offer for 33c/share in the first place then?
