Companies likely to be take-over or privatised

Who might be good candidates for privatisation? From what I hear, a number of S-chips would prefer to be privatised in order to save the listing fees, the professional fees, the queries from SGX and worse of all the questioning of minority shareholders at AGM and throughout the year in many cases.

Why have to pay S$1 million (ball park figure) to stay listed  when the subst shareholders can keep all the money to themselves?

Anyone wants to throw up names of companies that could privatise based on  the criteria set up by Kim Eng in this article......[url=http://www.nextinsight.net

The list of privatisation will not end. Which ones will be next ?? So far, China Animal Healthcare is the big one. actually it is not a privatisation, it is a delisting fr SGX.

Hope other S-chips will also privatise or do it the same way as CAH, so SG holders can exit. These S-chips are not appreciated in SG

Will Synear be privatised?

Its majority owner and CEO is Li Wei. He had privatised another S-chip, Centraland, in Aug 2011.

Centraland was listed on SGX, in case you never heard of it before.
 
Li Wei is mentioned in sentence 3 in The Edge article Shares of CentraLand surge as privatisation looms

Look at Kim Eng report in Oct 2011.
2 have big moves -- Orchard Parade (turned into a Reit) and China Animal Healthcare (in advanced talks for delisting fr SG):

Kim Eng's privatisation list; CHINA MINZHONG is deep value; UTD ENVIROTECH is a buy

I tell you, shareholders these days will not allow a delisting offer to succeed if the offer price is peanuts! SYNEAR offer is likely to fail. We will know by next week -- see whether Greenwood fund management can acquire a lot more shares and block the privatisation.

NERATEL offer failed!
k1 VENTURES offer failed!
