Members of the Overseas Union-led consortium, including U.S. hedge fund Farallon Capital Management LLC, spent Friday night discussing their next move, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter.

F& N's independent financial advisor JP Morgan had previously said its sum-of-the-parts valuation of F& N is S$8.58 to S$11.56 per share. F& N stock last traded at S$9.58.

Hedge funds have piled into F& N, whose shares trade above Charoen's offer price in expectation of a protracted bidding war.

PLAN:  Waiting for OUE to offer a higher bid very soon, within the next 12 hours , likley above $9.60.

Red red...arhh - down to $9.41ct...

 

Seems like no one wants to bid too high a price.  ThBev seems to be on the winning edge - it went up today at .445

Nearer to date, more red red...? cherry picking.

 

Stalemate situation.

TCC not willing to pay more as OUE agreed to take over at higher price so TCC walk away with good profits to start F&B business in Thailand.

OUE caught in catch 22 situation as it has commitments with Kirin and other parties and knows TCC willing to let go if OUE still offer higher.

Other institutions that hope to gain quick profit by buying at higher price than OUE offer are all caught. They are the real suckers !

TCC holding trump card and may still get F&N at its original offer price! Then Thai tycoon master plan for his business empire will all fall in place.

Long term F&N investors starting to liquidate as price already on decline before it hit TCC offer price once other institutions that bought high had to cut loss and liquidate. OUE just had to rollout and fail in this bid.

Thai tycoon real experienced entrepreneur and poker player with Three Kingdom Zhugeliang strategy!

TCC is not interested to pay more, oni interest to collect more profit, is that Y it keep xelaying till another goondoo come along to fish what they hope for...

 

Because Singapore's takeover law sets Jan 21 as the last day for OUE - and TCC, by implication - to revise its offer, the matching extensions raised the possibility that minority shareholders could be left with offers significantly below current market prices when time runs out.Hence they better sell out now.That is the resaon for seeing red.

Enuff is Enuff...TCC is not serious. ONI to offer at cheap take over price. BBs taking is not stupid and not going to the TCC cheap bite.

TCC like that is ONLY to speculating, just to make more $$$ from their current holding.

I think Thai tycoon will walk away with bigger profits from F&N same way as he did with APB. Reason why he is not upping the offer.

With those monies he will embark on a big F&B operations in Thailand well suited to serve a larger domestic Thai market operating at lower costs then later will export to IndoChina and Malaysia Singapore and Indonesia.

True entrepreneurship raising massive capital from the market then starting a F&B empire.
