Stocks With Likelihood Of Corporate Exercise: MAA Holdings

MAA Group Bhd (MAAG) is principally engaged in the Takaful, general Insurance and prepaid card businesses. In September 2011, the company sold its interest in its then core business, MAA Assurance, to Zurich Insurance Group Ltd, resulting in MAAG being a cash-rich company, but also one classified under Practice Note 17 (PN17) of the listing requirements for ceasing its major business.

To cease its classification of PN17, MAAG would need to submit a regularisation plan. Options open to the company include investing more of its large cash pile to grow the current operations, acquiring new businesses or assets, or returning excess cash to shareholders.

MAAG is currently trading well below its net cash backing, making it a potentially attractive M&A or dividend play. The company has net cash of RM317.87 million as at 30 June 2014, some 65% more than its current market capitalisation of RM192.77 million, based on its last traded stock price of RM0.64.

The stock is also trading at a price-to-book of just 0.45 times, with cash and cash equivalents accounting for 61% of total assets. On its current smaller scale of operations, MAAG posted net profit of RM2 million on revenue of RM335.7 million for the first half of 2014.

In the wake of Melewar Industrial Group Berhad ( Financial Dashboard)’s disposal of Melewar Steel Tube Sdn Bhd to Mycron Steel Berhad ( Financial Dashboard), both members of the Melewar Group, the question is if yet another member of Melewar Group — MAAG — would be conducting a corporate exercise soon.

Big buyer of MAA this morning.

Buy Order at 0.80 before market opened.

400,000 done at 0.79 at open.

Why did he buy at a premium of 0.025 to the closing price of 0.775 ? Does he know something that you dont ?

And why is there no follow-through when the price is now at only 0.78 ?

MAA agrees to sell stake in takaful arm to Zurich Insurance

KUALA LUMPUR: MAA Group Bhd (MAAG) has submitted a joint application with Solidarity Group Holdings BSC and Zurich Insurance Co Ltd to get Bank Negara’s approval for the sale of MAA Takaful Bhd.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Monday, the financial services group said it and Solidarity proposed to sell their stakes in MAA Takaful - 75% and 25% respectively - to the Swiss insurance firm.

MAAG said the application was for the Finance Minister’s approval pursuant to the Islamic Financial Services Act 2013.

On June 15, Bank Negara had said it had no objection to MAAG starting negotiations with Zurich for the proposed disposal.

However, it added that the approval should not be construed as an approval for the proposed disposal. MAAG and Zurich would still be required to get the prior approval of the Finance Minister, with the recommendation of the central bank, before entering any agreement to effect the disposal.

Solidarity Group was not mentioned in the earlier announcement.

MAA Takaful’s family takaful fund recorded a loss before taxation (LBT) of RM11.3mil for the year ended Dec 31, 2014 while its general takaful fund incurred a LBT of RM0.6mil, according to MAAG’s latest annual report.

MAAG shed half a sen to 76.5 sen at Monday’s close.
