Sometimes, the main shareholder just wants to try his luck. In this case, his luck isn't that good so far. Around 73.88% till date.
If he hits 85%, the probability of raising the price will be higher.
Currently, even he raises it to 97cts, the rest may not bite too.
So, why spend the extra $$$ and still end up not being able to delist.

other Shareholders in respect of an aggregate of 34,340,690 Offer Shares,
representing approximately 3.19% of the total number of issued Shares

As so many had said, 88cts is cheap. So, the substantial shareholder has already raised his stake at a cheap price of 88cts without resorting to buying it through market.
The probability of a revised offer is half-half. Personally, I do not think that Mr Putra Masagung is in a hurry or desperate to delist. But who knows, maybe we will see a revised offer this evening.

At the other end, Mr Ben Chng of Viz Branz is quite desperate though.

for holders of gts braced yourself for a very bad 2nd qtr results. anything that can be mark down, scrap etc will be out.

Each one will have to make his/her decision. I am inclined to think that the offer will be revised upward because there is still a lot of meat left for the controlling shareholders even if the offer is revised upward by 10% to 97 cents.

Assume that the controlling shareholders made an offer at 97 cents to start with, other shareholders would still expect a revision of the offer; hence, if I am the controlling shareholders, I will also first offer a price lower than the final price I am willing to offer, and then revise the price upward later.

I believe 97 cents is fair to both parties. I am one who bought more at 88 cents from the market after weighting the risk and reward.

Found that bugger
