Wondering if change of control clause is a standard clause in SG banks property devt loan.
If there is a change in directorship, would the bank recall the property loans...?? Even though EHL got money to pay.

Might also affect ST's loan for the buyout?

Ya. If ST loses directorship, bank may want back
the money used (if any) for the last 18 cents general offer.

My guess. Unlikely anyone would lend MBT money for another
Offer. only way to finance it is pay out special div. or offer
price including the special div.

Alternatively, can do a scheme of arrangement that cancel the
Minority shareholders shares. That's would require a vote.

Above are gusses only.

Very interesting... looking forward to the annual report next month to see how much ST actually borrowed. I presume all the shares bought with loan need to reside in the nominee account right?

DBSN SERVICES PTE LTD - 123,832,500 41.28%

DBSN SERVICES PTE LTD - 123,832,500 41.28%

Isn't that the collateral put up by ST and JL initially to support the offer? Should have increased after the offer...

basically, MBT draws down margin loan to buy the offer shares that went to MBT CDP account. My guess.

the DBSN account shares is enough to support the margin loan.

Any movt in shares would have to annc. So far, no such annc.
