PETALING JAYA: The independent adviser for DKSH Holdings
(Malaysia) Bhd has concluded that the company’s proposed privatisation is “not fair but reasonable”, and has advised minority shareholders to vote in favour of the proposal at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting (EGM).
According to a circular issued on Monday, Asia Equity Research Sdn Bhd noted that the RM6.15 per share offer under the selective capital reduction and repayment is below the estimated fair value of the company’s shares.
Nevertheless, the adviser said the proposal can still be considered reasonable given the premium over the prevailing market price, the stock’s relatively illiquid trading profile, and the lack of competing offers.
