Well, I believe your last line says:

"No cash outlay is required by the holders of ICPS for the conversion of ICPS into ordinary shares."

So, effectively the TAGB-PA is worth as much as TAGB (as issue price and conversion price are both 0.50, and conversion is by surrendering 1 TAGB-PA for 1 TAGB). The real difference is that conversion can only begin at the end of year 3.

Hin Lun,

So end of 3 year, no money is required to convert it to TAGB.Am i correct ?

Normally preference share has dividend % ? Do TAGB-PA has any, as I cannot find in the annoucement.
Thanks

Hi Eric,

You are right, because the issue price of the PA is same as conversion price. But take note that conversion is mandatory at the end of year 5.

The IPO prospectus includes the salient terms of ICPS, which says:

"No dividends shall be payable to ICPS holders".

I think this explains alot about the heavy discount to the mother now.

Thanks hin lun for your correction.

We really need you to clarify for us.

Kam Sia.
