Should shareholders accept OSIM’s privatisation offer?

It’s a reasonable price, analysts say.

Ron Sim’s decision to take OSIM private is a fair offer for minority shareholders, analysts say. Sim’s offer is particularly attractive on back of the company’s weak earnings outlook in coming quarters.

“We believe major shareholder Mr Ron Sim’s offer of SGD1.32/share to minority shareholders represents a reasonable price. This is in light of the weak equity market conditions and poor sales outlook in OSIM’s key markets over the next 12 months,” said RHB equity analyst James Koh.

“However, longer-term shareholders may probably not be keen to sell, as the fundamental intrinsic value of the company is likely to be higher than the offer price,” Koh added.

Meanwhile, OCBC analyst Jodie Foo said that the offer price represents a significant premium of 61% to their 12-month fair value estimate of $0.82.

“Given the tough environment ahead and the lack of strong drivers for earnings, we view this offer to be reasonable and recommend shareholders to accept the offer,” Foo said.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
