CIMB note that FNN shares have commenced “ex” trading and believe that more clarity from TCC/Thai Bev on its plans to 1) restructure FNN’s F& B and property businesses and 2) restore the stock’s public float will be the key milestones to watch for and could catalyse the stock. House slash our SOP estimates from $10.94 to $7.60, largely to account for the capital reduction. House FY14-15 core EPS numbers are cut by 3-6%. (still based on a 20% discount to its property RNAV) is now lower. We estimate that investors will be getting its property business at an implied discount to RNAV of 37% – among the widest in the sector. Maintain Outperform. |

Stock price After returning $3.28/shares would be key as owner has 90% - absolute control. Can take it private which is a major risk to minority shareholders. Like to see how the minimum float is to be restored, after throwing in the investment & bank loans for the acquisition.Most likely the bankers have already agreed and committed to take up the free float one way or another... |

Fraser and Neave (F& N) (SGX: F99) announced after the market close on 28 June 2013 that a special resolution on a proposed capital reduction plan was unanimously passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on the same day.
The capital reduction exercise involves returning $3.28 per share to shareholders as part of the company’s proceeds from selling Asia Pacific Breweries to Heineken N.V. last year. The exercise totals around S$4.7 billion. F& N will make an announcement in due course on exactly when it will take place, once all necessary approvals are obtained. It is expected that the cash distribution will be paid to shareholders on or about 31 July 2013. On the same day, the conglomerate also announced that it will appoint advisers to study and review alternative strategic options to unlock shareholder value. This may involve a segregation of its property-related businesses from its non-property related businesses. Furthermore, F& N announced yesterday that it had appointed two separate Chief Executive Officers – one to oversee the beer department and the other to manage the non-alcoholic beverage division. All these follow a long corporate tussle that involved F& N, Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (SGX: Y92) and Overseas Union Enterprises Limited (OUE) (SGX: LJ3) from September 2012 to January 2013. On 13 September 2012, Thai Beverage and TCC Assets Limited issued an announcement to a mandatory conditional cash offer for F& N at S$8.88 per share. The mandatory conditional cash offer was triggered after TCC acquired about 1.37% of F& N between S$8.80 to S$8.88 per share, bringing the combined interest of TCC and Thai Beverage in F& N to 30.36%. On 15 November 2012, OUE entered the fray. It made a voluntary conditional cash offer at S$9.08 per share for all the shares of F& N. On 18th January 2013, TCC and Thai Beverage upped the ante by offering S$9.55 per share. On 21st January 2013, OUE withdrew its offer. TCC and Thai Beverage now control 90.28% of F& N. F& N is still quoted on the Singapore Exchange after it decided to keep its listing status. The approval to remain listed was granted by SGX on 19 April 2013. F& N has three months – until 19 July 2013 – to restore its public float to at least 10% and this would entail a disposal of around 4.7 million shares. |

Singapore's Fraser and Neave Ltd said on Friday it is considering separating its property-related businesses from its soft drinks, food and other operations.
" (F& N) wishes to announce that the company will appoint advisers to study and review alternative strategic options available to the company to unlock shareholder value," it said in a stock market filing. " This may involve a segregation of its property-related businesses from its non-property related businesses." Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi won control of the Singapore company in January after a bidding war with a group led by Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd. - Reuters |

FNN’s 2Q13 saw 17% yoy core EPS growth, thanks to its F& B and property units. Many overseas development projects will be completed to underpin a stronger 2H13. FNN has also announced that it will return S$4.73bn in cash to shareholders via capital reduction. 2H13 core earnings formed --% of our and consensus’s full-year estimate. We deem this as in line given the stronger anticipated 2H. We maintain our core EPS estimates and SOP-based target price. Our pro forma RNAV estimate after the cash distributions is around S$7.75. At current levels, we estimate investors will be getting its property business at an implied discount to RNAV of 43%. Maintain Outperform | ||

Fraser & Neave (FNN) reported solid fiscal second quarter profit before interest and tax of S$163.6 million, up 71% y-o-y. But profit after tax for the quarter (S$66 million, down 48% y-o-y) was negatively affected by the one-time charge of S$72 million that arose from the general cash offer.
Likewise, its food and beverage unit registered solid earnings growth, with PBIT increasing twofold, due to improved demand for its products, better marketing execution and lower input costs. An interim dividend of 3.5 cents per share was also declared. Following the disposal of its entire interest in Asia Pacific Breweries (APB) in November 2012 for S$5.6 billion, FNN announced that its plans to return approximately 84% of its proceeds (S$4.7 billion) back to shareholders. This translates to S$3.28 per share.The remaining S$0.9 billion would be retained, bringing down FNN’s net gearing to 17.3%, compared to 27.4% (pre APB sale) in the previous financial year. Post its S$3.28 per share capital distribution, the net asset value (NAV) of FNN would correspondingly be reduced from S$8.80 per share to S$5.52 per share. The proposed capital distribution is likely to be well received by the market, providing strong signals that FNN and its parent company Thai Beverage Pcl could introduce further restructuring exercises. Other key catalysts for the stock would include potential synergistic business opportunities with Thai Beverage Pcl over the medium to long term. Overall, its underlying businesses performed well,with its property unit posting strong earnings, up 21% y-o-y, buoyed by strong rental income and progressive revenue recognition of pre-sold residential projects in Singapore. |

After pay out, the NAV will also drop at the same level, same to the share price. All these are expected. | ||
