The unconditional mandatory takeover offer on TA Enterprise Bhd (TAE) by major shareholder Datuk Tony Tiah Thee Kian is viewed as unfair but reasonable, and shareholders are urged to accept the offer. Independent advisor DWA Advisory Sdn Bhd said the 65.5 sen offer price for the shares that Tiah does not own (through TA Securities Holdings Bhd) constituted a discount of RM1.60 to RM1.61 ( 71.11% to 71.24%) to the estimated value of TAE shares, which are between RM2.25 and RM2.26  based on a sum of parts valuation. Given that TAE would cease to be listed on Bursa Malaysia as a result of the offer, and the lack of competing offers to rate offer shares, as well as the fact that as at Jan 8, 2021, Tiah and parties acting in concert (PACs) controlled 77.75% of the TAE’s share capital — the offer is deemed to be reasonable.
