According to the IFA, the S$1.22 offer is not attractive and there are "generally insufficient compelling reasons to recommend the acceptance of the offer". This development was not surprising as we have always felt that the offer price was too low. We maintain our view that the offer will likely not succeed. We currently have a BUY rating with S$1.52 fair value estimate.
