PROPOSED SPECIAL DIVIDEND PURSUANT TO THE DEEMED DISPOSALS OF KULIM’S INVESTMENT IN QSR BRANDS BERHAD (“QSR”) AND KFC HOLDINGS (MALAYSIA) BERHAD (“KFC”) (“PROPOSED SPECIAL DIVIDEND”)

PROPOSED ADJUSTMENT TO THE EXERCISE PRICE OF WARRANTS 2011/2016 (“PROPOSED ADJUSTMENT”)

We refer to our announcements dated 18 May 2012 with regards to the Proposed Special Dividend and 13 June 2012 with regards to the Proposed Adjustment. Unless otherwise stated, the defined terms used in this announcement shall carry the same meaning as defined in our announcements dated 18 May 2012 and 13 June 2012.

On 5 November 2012, the shareholders of KFC had approved the resolutions on the Proposed KFC Disposal, Proposed KFC Capital Repayment and Proposed KFC Warrant Scheme and subsequently on 6 November 2012, the shareholders of QSR had approved the resolutions on the Proposed QSR Disposal, Proposed QSR Capital Repayment and Proposed QSR Warrant Scheme.
 
Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Kulim (save for the Interested Directors) has approved to distribute by way of a special dividend payment of approximately RM1.157 billion to all eligible shareholders of Kulim at an entitlement date to be determined later subject to the actual receipt by Kulim of such proceeds pursuant to the Proposed Capital Repayment of QSR and the Proposed Capital Repayment of KFC. 
 
Subsequent to the declaration of the special dividend, such adjustments to the exercise price of Warrants 2011/2016 in accordance to the provisions as stipulated in Condition 3, Schedule 4 (Terms and Conditions of the Warrants) of the Deed Poll shall be announced in due course.



This announcement is dated 6 November 2012.


BY AMSECURITIES: A bit outdated due to the deal keep on delay.


- Following QSR Brands' and KFC Holdings Bhd's capital repayment exercise, Kulim Bhd has announced that it would be receiving proceeds of RM1.157bil. 

- Subsequently, Kulim has proposed to distribute all of the RM1.157bil proceeds in the form of a special dividend to its shareholders.

- Kulim's special dividend would amount to about 93 sen/share based on the share base of 1.235bil. After the conversion of warrants, we reckon that the special dividend would amount to 82 sen/share. 

- We believe the special dividend would be paid in 3QFY12.(Overdue) The date of the payment of the special dividend was not disclosed in the Bursa announcement.

- Recall that Kulim owns 54% of QSR Brands, while QSR Brands owns 51% of KFC Holdings. However, after the conversion of warrants, we estimate that Kulim's shareholding in QSR would be 48% while QSR's equity interest in KFC would be about 49%.

- The announcement of the special dividend was not a surprise. Following the privatisation exercise of QSR and KFC by Massive Equity Sdn Bhd, the market had been expecting Kulim to return part of the capital repayment proceeds back to shareholders. 

- What was a surprise was the size of the special dividend. We were not expecting Kulim to distribute all of the capital repayment proceeds as a special dividend. 

- We had thought that Kulim would keep part of the proceeds for future expansion plans. Still, we reckon that Kulim would not face any problems financing its future expansion plans as its balance sheet is healthy. 

- At the company level, the group's gross cash stood at RM74.8mil as at end-FY10 while gross borrowings amounted to RM373.2mil. 

- Most of Kulim's borrowings are held by New Britain  Palm Oil Ltd (NBPOL). NBPOL's borrowings would be deconsolidated in the future as it will be classified as an associate. 

- We maintain a BUY on Kulim for the special dividend of 93 sen/share. The group would also be a purer plantation company after the disposal of KFC and QSR.
