Surprisingly shareholder friendly move by a historically shareholder unfriendly management.

Good lesson to stingy cash hoarders like KGAL and RENU

I believe this would trigger MAL N over 5 but not sure about the implication on Mal X.

But still feel its also going to increase since this move will further reduce the number of X shares.

Experts pls give your opinions/target prices

For Mal N:

(X*7)/6=5
X=4.3

So the fair value of Mal should be 4.30. Is my maths correct?

It it like repurchase .. If we don't like to sell to them we can keep it without any change number of shares isn't it??
bit confuse ...
please explain bit this..

MAL.X already very very illiquid ..if they purchase 3 million then public holding is very less ..so MAL.X follow equal price to N in the market ..isn't it ????

Nothing much to write home about this ! they might as well have distributed the Rs 175 Million as a 0.70 cts Dividend. yes 10 % withholding tax impact of Rs 17.5 wold be felt by the shareholders, but now the share price guidance for non voting shareholders has been lowered from current market price 4.60 to 3.50, the repurchase price.
Remember this share split adjusted price was Rs 10 when they issued 20 million non voting shares at rs 1 (2 million shares at rs 10 before split), to a strategic friendly shareholder in exchange for land. this only serves to benefit that large single non voting shareholder to encash part of their entitlement.
If they really wanted to be shareholder friendly, they should have given the repurchase at NAV closer to Rs 9 (Voting) with a lesser ratio than 1 : 7 (maybe 1 : 12) thereby positively impacting the guidance for the market price and that signalling effect would have helped to re-rate beyond the 4-5 range that this stock is stuck in for some time.

yes MAL.N pass 5/= tomorrow and if it is ...then MAL.X also pass 5/= tomorrow because most of them buying X also at 5/= level who are they not know about this repurchase message.

so we can Grab MAL .N under 5/= quickly ...

what i understood. i may wrong.
company going to buy some amount shares and cancel those shares.
spending 175 m, 14.28% are going to buy and cancel it.
I think share price is going to high after this happen.
14.28% shares are cancelling. this is opposite of Right Issues. Right Issue put share price lower and this one put share price bit high.
experts this is my idea please give me your experts comments.

Friends these are the concerns i have about this share repurchase

For Non - Voting as "The Alchemist" pointed out the company has issued 2,300,000 Non Voting Shares @ 10/= to a company to acquire the land and the shares listed on 04.08.2010, then on 08.03.2011 this became 23,000,000 Million Shares due to the sub - division.

From the listing date this company sold 3,834,000/= shares to others in the market.

About Voting presently it trading around 4.60/= so with the taxes it will be 4.65/=

The Buyback price is 5/= so the profit will be 0.35/= per share, if you want to make a Rs. 1,000/= Gain how much anybody need to invest it if going to buy now?

If am not mistaken we have to give 2,858 shares to the company, for that we must buy around 20,000 shares so approximate investment will be 100,000/=

Golden Question is what will be the Share Price after the buy back?

Correct me if my computations are wrong!!!

Hi!

I believe that MAL should have invested this money in CSE during last year... in shares like which gives better dividend in regular manner....
So, it gives many returns than this exercise......

Agree with you...Those 14.28% will be cancelled once company purchased...This is a share repurchase agreement from the market...

simple.
share price going to over 5 rupees after happen repurchase.
Think About Right Issue. they did.
share price is Rs. 10 and after right issue that fall below right issue price(right issue price Rs.6.75/- )

I think this is like buy share and burn it. so then number of shares will be reduce.
think about 175M using for Dividend. that means that amount will be lost buy company and its going to share holders.

Repurchase and cancelling. minimize the number of shares. Net assest is going to high and also future P/E ratio is going to high value.

I think if we hold share then after repurchase. share price is going to more than Rs. 6-7 easily. with good financial report it can be go further. this is my idea
please think deeply before investing on this.

Yes what you are telling is true. But there are some problems as well. First thing about MAL.X, their offering price is 3.50, But current trading price is 4.60. So will people sell about 3 million shares at 3.50. I dont think so similarly it seems buying 32 million shares of MAL.N would also be difficult. Those are basic requirements for this has to happen. As well this move will be good to share holders who bought this once the share price dropped below 6 (There is no initial impact for share holders with break even price more than 5, but probably this would be good for people with break even price less than 6 - this is a my assumption only ) but what about people who bought this when this was trading at higher price. I would say more than 6. There will not be any initial benefit for them, 0.75 - 0.80 dividend could have been better for them.But NAV, EPS will be higher after this finished. Future EPS would also be higher if they can maintain at east current profit. So this would finally be a good move for the company's and all share holders future. But to happen all above things they should be able to buy those shares successfully at mentioned prices.

Technically Stockback, this should increase the value of shares ( eps) as there will be lesser number of shares in the market after the buy back.

This was not a bad move by MAL without giving all in dividends. MAL liquidity increased too much after 10:1 split. NOw time to do some repair.

Btw, best also to study the shares that can stand a price drop in tea and cope with the wages.

May be they are waiting to buy all the shares before giving a decent dividend. Totally unethical.
