FARMBES - MULTIPLE PROPOSALS

Announcement Type: General Announcement

Stock Name FARMBES  
Date Announced15 Apr 2015  
CategoryGeneral Announcement
Reference NoOS-150415-63609

TypeAnnouncement
SubjectMULTIPLE PROPOSALS
DescriptionFARM’S BEST BERHAD (“FBB” OR THE “COMPANY”)

• PROPOSED PAR VALUE REDUCTION;
• PROPOSED ACQUISITION;
• PROPOSED SECURITIES EXCHANGE;
• PROPOSED OFFER FOR SALE;
• PROPOSED SPECIAL ISSUE;
• PROPOSED AMENDMENTS; AND
• PROPOSED TRANSFER OF LISTING STATUS

(COLLECTIVELY, THE “PROPOSALS”)

(The abbreviations used herein have the same meaning as those defined in the Company's announcements dated 12 June 2014 and 29 August 2014)

Reference is made to the announcement dated 22 September 2014 in relation to the application to the SC for the Proposals and the application to SC dated 21 October 2015 (“Application”).

On behalf of the Board of FBB, M&A Securities wishes to announce that the SC had vide its letter dated 13 April 2015, decided not to approve the Application. In considering the Application, SC had noted the following issues of concern:

(i) Inadequate due diligence

SC was of the opinion that FBB, its Directors and advisers as the persons involved in the Application had failed to undertake a critical assessment of the information being reviewed and submitted, judging from the numerous inconsistencies, mistakes, omissions and poor quality disclosures contained in the Application as well as in the responses to the SC.

Under the Proposed Securities Exchange, it was disclosed that the total ascribed value of the Lerfood securities to be received of RM1.50 is higher than the value of one FBB Share of RM0.67 based on the 5D-WAMP of FBB Shares up to 11 June 2014. SC had noted that the bulk of the total ascribed value of the Lerfood securities to be received by FBB shareholders is contributed by the highly theoretical value of Lerfood Warrants which have a limited lifespan and whose realisable value to FBB shareholders would be dependent on the warrants’ liquidity and market prices as well as market conditions at the material point in time. As such, the disclosed total ascribed value of the securities to be received may not be realisable and may potentially be misleading for FBB shareholders considering the Proposals.

The above matters raised serious concern as to the adequacy and reliability of the information disclosed in the Application, and the ability of M&A Securities and FBB to comply with Section 215(1) of the CMSA and the provisions of the Due Diligence Guidelines.

(ii) Financial estimate, forecast and projection were not appropriately substantiated

SC noted that the disclosures on the key assumptions made in the financial estimate, forecast and projection were broad, confusing and lacked clarity.

Given the above issues of concern, SC was unable to form an informed view as to the suitability of the Proposals of FBB and had reason to believe that approval of the Application would be detrimental to the interest of investors. Accordingly, in exercising the SC’s discretion under Section 214A(1)(a) and Section 214A(1)(d) of the CMSA, the SC had decided not the approve the Application.

The Board will deliberate on the next course of action to be taken and an announcement will be made in due course. Pursuant to Rule 9.16 of the SC Equity Guidelines, FBB may appeal against the decision of SC within 30 days from 13 April 2015.

This announcement is dated 15 April 2015.
