In the midst of all this bad news, will the minorities of Boustead accept the 85.5 sen offer, or will they stay on with Boustead, thwarting LTAT’s privatisation plan?

LTAT chief executive officer Datuk Ahmad Nazim Abd Rahman is confident the privatisation of Boustead will go through, after which he can plan to start cleaning up the fund's key investment in the Boustead group.

Will the minority shareholders accept 0.855 or demand a higher price ? If the higher price demanded is not acceptable to LTAT, then the privatisation will fail and price will return to 60c level.
