I was reading through Cityneon's Results of Rights Issue and I noted that following the issue of the rights shares, the public float will only be 6.3% with the majority of shares owned by Laviani Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Star Media Group Bhd. As a result, the shares will be suspended from 28 September 2015.

What I am particularly interested in is what is going to happen next - whether they intend to maintain their listing or is there a possibility of a delisting on the cards.

ECS faced a very similar situation recently and they took the path of delisting at a premium to the last traded price. Could this be a likelihood for Cityneon as well taking into consideration that Star Media Group will not need to fork out much to take over the company?

I sense a potential opportunity here although of course there are risks involved as the stock will be suspended in the interim of awaiting a decision.

Quote:Star Media Group gets expression of interest for its Cityneon stake

Star Media Group Bhd has received an expression of interest to buy its 52.51% equity interest in Singapore-listed Cityneon Holdings Ltd.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company said its wholly-owned subsidiary, Laviani Pte Ltd, was today (Friday) notified by Bird & Bird ATMD LLP, a legal firm in Singapore, that its client was interested in purchasing Laviani’s 128.46 million shares in Cityneon. 

“Pursuant to the above, the board will deliberate the abovementioned and an appropriate announcement will be made in due course,” it said.

Earlier in the day, Cityneon had requested for immediate suspension of its share trading on the Singapore Exchange from 3.02pm.

Its shares were last traded at 95.5 Singapore cents, giving the company a market capitalisation at S$233.6mil (RM722.0mil). Based on this, Star's 52.51% stake is worth about S$122.7mil (RM378.8mil).

Cityneon, a full service ideas agency, has five business segments - events, exhibitions, experiential environment, interior architecture, and intellectual property rights (IPR).

The IPR segment was created through the acquisition of immersive attractions company Victory Hill Exhibitions Pte Ltd in 2015, which has the rights to hold the successful Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N interactive exhibition.

The IPR segment, with its 75.5% gross profit margin, fuelled a 43.0% growth in Cityneon’s gross profit to S$33.32mil (RM102.93mil) for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2016.

Quite curious as to what the potential buyer's valuation of Star Media's stake in Cityneon is. And if the deal goes through, it will be interesting to see what happens next - will the new owners delist the company? The free float right now is 26%.

For sure, a mandatory general offer will be triggered and the potential buyers have to extend at least a similar offer price to what it is going to pay Star Media Group. Their intentions will then be clearly stated in the offer document.

Thanks! I haven't had much experience with companies I'm vested in getting taken over (except Nobel Design, which also happened recently) so I looked this up after seeing your post. Pasting what I found here for reference.

From a law firm's guide to takeovers and mergers in Singapore:

Quote:What is a Mandatory Offer?
This is triggered under Rule 14 of the Code when an offeror and parties acting in concert with it acquire shares of the target in amounts crossing the threshold prescribed in Rule 14. The offer is conditional upon the offeror obtaining a minimum level of acceptance which has the offeror and parties acting in concert with it holding shares that carry more than 50% of the voting rights of the target.

When is a Mandatory Offer triggered?
Under Rule 14 of the Code, a mandatory take-over offer is required to be made if: a) A person acquires, whether by a series of transactions over a period of time or not, shares which (taken together with shares held or acquired by persons acting in concert with him) carry 30% or more of the voting rights of a company; or b) A person who, together with persons acting in concert with him, holds between 30% and 50% of the voting rights in the Target Company and such person, or any person acting in concert with him, acquires in any 6-month period additional shares carrying more than 1% of the voting rights of the Target Company.
