BLand’s stake by 3.2% from 50.7% to 47.5%.Concurrently, major shareholder Tan Sri Vincent Tan has placed out 15.6m shares (including Berjaya Corp and hisother private companies). All these would collectively dilute Tan Sri’s stake by 4.4% from 57.4% (direct 5.58%, indirect
51.85%) to 53.0%.The placement was done at a 4.6% discount to BST’s lastclosing price and values BST at 13.6x FY11 PE. The price is close to our dividend discount model value of RM4.83.
Net proceeds from the placement would be used for partialredemption of BLand’s RM848m 8% secured exchangeable bonds due in 2011 which bondholders can exercise a put option for early redemption on 15 Aug09 at 100% nominal value. The placement exercise follows the 80sen bumper dividends declared by BST in 4QFY09, including a 1-for-14treasury shares distribution valued at 35 sen. Collectively,BLand would have RM667m in hand (including the Treasury
shares receivable which may be placed out later should theneed arise) for the potential bond redemption (79%).
