HLIB Research 25 Jan 2012 (SP Setia)

SP Setia (HOLD)

Revised takeover offer

§  The CEO, Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin ("TSL") and PNB, are making a joint revised offer for SP Setia Bhd, and have provided much-need clarity on the future of the company.

§  The new offer price has been revised to RM3.95 per share from RM3.90 while the offer for the warrants has been revised to 96 sen per warrant from 91 sen.

§  The most important part of the offer is a 3-year management agreement for TSL to have a free hand in running SP Setia.  When asked, TSL also said he does not intend to inject other PNB-related property developers such as Pelangi and I&P into SP Setia.  Also, PNB did not impose their KPI on SP Setia.

§  TSL also said that they expect to complete the land acquisitions for Bangsar and Federal Hill shortly.

§  TSL will hold on to his 8% stake, and PNB will provide TSL with a put option to sell his 8% stake to PNB in progressive tranches at RM3.95 per share.

§  Maintain HOLD, and raise target price by 5 sen to RM3.95, which is the revised offer price.
