Thats not the only problem. All these takeover targets , their share price if u observed carefully, will always suddenly drop alot when the business or fundamental are totally fine. I can only conclude the share price has been artificially forced down so that they can takeover at  a cheap price.
Look at all the counters that has been taken over.. Aztech etc.. the share price always drop ALOT before take over offer..

i remember vard is also offered a way below NAV offer price.. seems like offerors take advantage of business cycles and try to buy over when company is in down cycle and not doing well
Is the new delisting rule in effect already?  If so, minorities should form a group to coordinate effort to safeguard their interest.

Firstly, my post is not directed at anybody in specific.
How SRG/Courts destroyed retailer investors money is clear for all to see.
Quite frankly, the way Courts business performance is going, how likely is its share price going upwards.  It didn' t even bother to declare a dividend in last FY when it is reporting positive accounting profit.  Also Courts stopped their share buyback.  It was buying like crazy when it was trading ard 44cts.  At 14cts it didnt even spent a dime to buyback any shares.  There is just nothing to spur it in the up direction.
What is Courts telling the market.  Basically it has given up on its shareholders.
Courts mgmt should be condemned for such iresponsiblity.

SINGAPORE (Jan 18): Courts Asia, the regional purveyor of furniture and household and IT appliances, has received a 20.5 cents voluntary conditional cash offer from Nojima Asia Pacific for all its issued and outstanding ordinary shares.           
The offer price represents an approximately 34.9% premium above the closing price of 15.2 cents on the last trading date of Wednesday and an approximately 23.3% premium above the volume weighted average price (VWAP) per share over the six-month period prior to and including the last trading date.           
As of Friday, Courts Asia has an issued and fully paid up share capital of $267.3 million, comprising 517.5 million shares with 42.5 million treasury shares. The offer values Courts Asia at stake $106 million.
Nojima Asia Pacific is the offer vehicle of sole shareholder Nojima Corp, a Tokyo-listed electrical appliance retail chain mainly dealing with the sale of consumer digital appliances, in Japan. It also has presence in Cambodia, where it specialises in digital appliances.           
Nojima has a market capitalisation of $1.4 billion and revenues of $6.1 billion.           
The offeror has been contemplating the entry into the consumer appliance retail market in Southeast Asia, where market growth is expected. With the acquisition of the Courts Asia,  Nojima expects to gain a strong foothold in Southeast Asia.           
The offeror also believes Courts Asia and its own business are complementary and there are potential synergies that can be created, adds PricewaterhouseCoopers Corporate Finance who drew up the offer document.           
In addition, the trading volume of shares in Courts Asia has been generally low, with an average daily trading volume of approximately 208,346 shares during the 12-month period.           
The offeror has received an undertaking from Singapore Retail Group, the 73.8% Courts Asia shareholder, to tender all of its 382 million shares in acceptance of the offer and not to accept or permit the acceptance of any competing offer.

Based on the share price for the last few years, the share price only dip below 20 cents 5 mths ago on extremely thin volume. It means majority aka  95% (or maybe even close to  99%) of investors  who bought courts share via IPO or open market paid more than 20 cents for the share. Almost all shareholders excluding SRG are losing money when a takeover suppose to be a good thing.. This one only happens in SGX where a takeover is akin to robbing small shareholders

Last FY when Courts still has accounting profit, they didn' t declare any dividend which they usually do.  For the last two quarters, Courts registered negative accounting profit plus they only declare dividend, that is if they do, on their Q4 (31-Mar).  So no reason to expect them to do so.  Also  Courts has over $60mil in cash but over $230mil in debt.  The offeror takes over not just that cash but also the debts.
Lastly, dont worry about SRG lugi.  When they listed Courts, they sold 118 mil share @ 77cts pocketing $91 mil.  Now they are selling 382 mil shares at 20.5.  They stand to pocket another $78 mil.
Courts last reported NAV of $193mil or 37cts per shares.

if the FA/IFAs say this offer is fair also can close shop/tear(burn) down already. LOL. if transaction go through means all close eyes to give valuations! Or have vested interests lol!
How can a listed firm with such a high NAV be going for less than 10 cents ($0.205-supposedly distributed monies of $0.115 = $0.09) LOL ridiculous in the first place SRG or the CEO accepted the offerer' s offer in the first place! SO FISHY!!!!!

I think this might turn out to be the first case to test the new delisting rules where major shareholder cannot vote on a delisting resolution.
Then again, if the offerer(s) get enough shares in this general offer to do a compulsory acquisition or if the float drops below a certain percentage and SGX mandates a delisting, then all that is moot.

AGREED. IF TRANSACTION GO THROUGH CAN CLOSE/TEAR(BURN) DOWN the EXCHANGE ALREADY! especially this is the second time this happened to courts listing. WTheck is SGX useful for? pillaging public monies and list shitty firms like courts midas etc? full of scams and low ball offerors!

YeAp. It is either Terrence has bird brain or there is a conspiracy theory going on. Else he may be having terminal illness and needs to cash out tomorrow. If sgx allows this deal to go through, the entire exchange needs to be torn down.

Yep, if div declared is 2c, say, then they can adjust the offer px to 18c.  That' s what it is.  So what if unfair?  It happens again n again.  What are minorities gonna do?  Protest?  Who' s gonna come to the rescue?    This place what seems to happen all the time is kuay kuay accept or if not resign to things n sulk only mah.

From 2014 to 2019 5 years, the only time the share price traded below 20 cents is July 2018 to now which is about 5 mths. In this 5 mths, the volume is the very low compared to the last  4.5 years ==> Only 5-10% of those who bought courts are earning due to this take over, the rest of the 90-95% who bought courts are losing money... hai..
