5) Integrax
Tenaga has launched a conditional take over
offer for all the remaining Intergrax shares it does not own at a cash offer of
RM2.75/share. TNB currently holds 22.12% of the PUC in Integrax. The offer is
conditional of TNB receiving 50% or more of the voting shares on or before the
close of the offer which shall be no later than 60days from the posting date.
The other major shareholders of Integrax are Golden Initiative S/B 13.59% and
Corston Smith Asset Mgt 5.46%.
The price offered by TNB is a 19.5% premium
over the closing price of RM2.30 and represent a new high for the company hence
we feel the GO is likely to be successful.
6) Market – The run up experienced in the
past few days is likely to see some profit taking in the earlier part of next
week with a resistance on the KLCI seen at 1750pts. Medium term outlook remains
uncertain and volatile trading is set to prevail.
