Kuok Brothers to buy out Jerneh Asia
Jerneh Asia’s major shareholder, Kuok Brothers SB with a 37.7% direct stake, has launched a conditional takeover offer for Jerneh Asia in a move that could provide a quicker way to wind up matters at the cash-rich company that has been without a core business since last year. Kuok Brothers is offering RM1.45 cash per share for all remaining Jerneh Asia shares it does not own and for all new Jerneh Asia shares which may be issued arising from the exercise of the outstanding warrants. It is also looking to acquire the remaining 2.96m warrants for RM0.45 apiece. Kuok Brothers and persons acting in concert (PACs) hold a combined 41.8% stake and the deal is estimated to cost Kuok Brothers RM207.2m. (Financial Daily)
