5) MALAYSIA AIRPORT (MAHB) – further to the announcement
dated 23 September 2014 whereby MAHB announced that MAHB’s wholly owned
subsidiary, Malaysia Airports MSC Sdn Bhd, had, on 16 September 2014, received
a notice and offer of right of first refusal in relation to TAV Havalimanları
Holding A.Ş.’s (TAV) offer to acquire from Limak and Limak Yatirim their
collective 40% equity stake in ISG and LGM (Istanbul Airport) for an offer
consideration of Euro (“EUR”) 285 million (TAV Offer) (First ROFR Offer).
Following the lapse of the First ROFR Offer on 1 October
2014, the Board wishes to announce that MAHB has, on 2 October 2014, received a
notice and offer of right of first refusal in relation to TAV Offer.
In accordance with the requirements of the shareholders
agreement in relation to ISG dated 19 March 2008 and the shareholders agreement
in relation to LGM dated 4 January 2010, MAHB has 10 business days from the
date of receipt of the notice to accept the Second ROFR Offer at the price
offered by TAV. The Board is currently considering the abovementioned Second
ROFR Offer and further details will be announced in due course.
We would prefer if MAHB does not exercise this Second
ROFR as it is priced at 36% premium to the controlling block which MAHB
purchased in late 2013 and more important is MAHB may be exposed to regulatory
risk if the Istanbul Airport is entirely owned by MAHB, a foreign entity.
6)Market: Barring a positive surprise on ECB’s
asset-buying program tonight, the market will continue to drift lower.
