From Chart (any Chart expert, pls correct me if i am wrong), it does seem that $2 is the first support and 1.95 is the second support and 1.92 is the third support. As long as these supports are not broken, i am not worried.

The placement was done at 2.01 or 2.02 (i couldn' t remember) lately .... so .... i think it will go up north ...

My view .. DYOD

SMA20 has crossed up SMA60. This is a crucial step to turn bearish tend back to bullish track.

$2.10 level is the key benchmark. Hope it will reach there in the next 1 to 2 weeks. Then SMA60 and SMA120 will be turned upwards also respectively

As this price, it is still undervalue (yield, P/B, strong sponsor) and the properties are mainly in China which is one of the least affected country now.

There might be some investors who got the PO and excess at 1.17 and through private placement might cash in which might impact the price slightly, but it will be well supported by long term investors. The pre-covid price was $1.6 ...... I believe it will go above $1.5 by maybe end of next year while getting very good half year dividend.

You should check tonight after 10pm to see if the rights shares have been credited. If it' s not creditted tonight, will need to wait until tomorrow morning.

If you do this on a low volume counter .... left pocket to right pocket .... to push up or down, it' s manipulation and can be charged in court.

If you are doing this in a huge volume counter, if your purchase/ selling orders are not high, i doubt the regulators will bother as it will not impact the price.

If you look at the SIA volume today, it' s around 3,500K which amounts to $11M being transacted. How much can you place in buy order and how much can your friend short it down? Imagine if you put ... say 100 lots, and there is an external order (not from your friend) that short it down by few pips .... are you able to withstand that short? We are talking about a counter with volume of 3500K .... they can easily move your buy or sell queue ....

Accreted Principal Amount : In respect of each S$1,000 in principal amount of Rights MCBs shall mean (i) in the case of the conversion of Rights MCBs on the Maturity Date, S$1,806.11,

Conversion Price : S$4.84 per Share, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments.

So, at maturity, you will get $1806.11 / 4.84 = 373.14 shares. Every 1000 MCB, you will get 373.14 shares.

As the MCB price is fluctuating, you' ll need to calculate the technical conversion rate based on the current market price ....

The MCB price seems to be moving lower the past few days.

1000MCB will convert to 373 SIA shares in the 10th yr. For easy calculation, the effective conversion price is based on the current market price of MCB of $0.92 (x1000 ) divide by 373. So, the current technical conversion rate now is $2.46.

If the price move further down, just divide by 373 to know the effective conversion price

I Guess I have more or less decided to invest in the MCB. Since I am going for long-term, I am also not concern with SIA shares volatility. I just want to park some funds in the MCB with some visibility about the returns, which in all honesty, isnt bad at all.

In 10 years, 1000 MCB ($930), you will get 373 SIA shares. So, MCB price at 0.930, the effective conversion share price is $2.49

For those who is looking at long term (10 yrs), you can either buy SIA at $4, or you buy MCB and convert into shares after 10 yrs at $2.49.

If there is Div, the MCB conversion price will be adjusted too.

If anyone is looking at 10yrs, it' s either you go for MCB at $2.49 or SIA at $4.

Bro, thanks.

Good luck. My view is neutral as i' m not vested right now. i was vested on SIA shares during the right exercise phrase .... However, as the MCB conversion is 10 yrs later, i am not looking at it right now. However, if the price remain attractive at the seventh or eight year ..... i will do similar analysis to see if its worth investing.

I do not know how to put a value (or discount) to reward the shareholder to wait for 10yrs. I still remember the KrisEnergy zero-coupon retail bond redeemable at 100% in 5 or 6 yrs ...which open at very low price. Keppel was one of the major shareholder. I was quite shock at the openning price ... i guess there was a discount for such wait.

10 years is a long time. It will depends on the assumption of the SIA after 10 yrs.

If i ignore the noises (price going up/ down), and assume SIA returns to the pre-covid price of $9...... which the adjusted price will be $5.4. So, if i invest in SIA at $4 ... the profit will be 35% (5.4/4= 1.35). However, if i invest in MCB at say $1, if SIA didn' t redeem, my profit will be 100% ( 5.4/2.67 = 2.022). And the current price is 0.95, which means the gain will be 1/0.95x 100%=105%.

Even if SIA redeem the bond at the 10yrs mark, you will still gain 80% (based on $1) or 85% (based on $0.95).

Both SIA and MCB will be entitled div (but for MCB, it will be in form of adjustment to conversion price if i remember correctly). So, no disadvantage here.

The only catch is that if SIA really surge to say $10, they might just redeem it instead of converting the shares. But even at $10, based on the current price of $4 ... the gain will be just 2.5x or 150% .... vs 85% for MCBs. What is the chance of SIA really surge to $10 (which is equivalent to $20.5 pre-covid)?

From the above perspective ... if it' s based on 10yrs, and share price surging to $5.4, MCB will be a better choice. However, as the conversion will only take place after 10yrs, the MCB price wont really move in tandem with SIA prices.... so, if you are a traders, you can' t take advantage if there is a sudden surge now. However, i believe that maybe into it' s 9 yr ... the MCB price might starts to move up/down more closely to the SIA actual price.

Additional information of the MCB. There will be adjustment due to div .... but if SIA choose to redeem the MCB, then, the adjustment won' t matter and the MCB shareholders will miss out on the div. It will only impact conversion price.

Full Dividend Protection: The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment in respect of any dividend or distribution made by the Issuer.
Anti-Dilution Protection : Anti-dilution provisions dealing with, inter alia, share consolidations, share splits, distributions, rights issues and bonus issues.

The Rights MCBs may be redeemable at the option of the Issuer in whole or in part on every six-month anniversary of the issue date (each a &ldquo Semi-Annual Date&rdquo ) at the
relevant Accreted Principal Amount as at such Semi-Annual Date.

In summary, SIA dont need to fork out any cash even if it redeems before maturity. It just issue more shares to mcb holders. You can still make a loss if SIA choose to convert below $4.84 its not a fixed deposit. SIA may choose to take advantage to redeem when share price below $4 during these 10yrs and holders of mcb have no say

So mcb will move in share direction of SIA share price. It worth more when the underlying share price worth more

Pls DYODD.

Yes, this is my understanding. If SIA choose to redeem, at the current low interest, the 4%~6% is actually not bad. You can refer to the redemption table ...

********************

Lastly, the MCB is also callable. This means that SIA has the option of redeeming the bonds early on every semi-annual date. In the event that SIA chooses to redeem the bonds before maturity, bondholders will receive a cash payment depending on the redemption price at that time.

The redemption price is calculated based on the semi-annual date that the MCBs are redeemed, and the respective yield-to-call per annum ranges from 4-6%, compounded on a semi-annual basis. (Table 3).

With so much dilution, im not sure if SIA ever go back $10

Look at capitaland, it never go back to $8 pre 2008 crisis despite years of profit after its rights issue in 2009

There will be risk of loss of SIA redeem mcbs when sia share price is below $4.84

SIA has the right to call for redeem using current sia share price.

So if SIA decides to call for redemption of mcbs when current share price is $3, then mcb holders are forced to pay a premium ( $4.84 ) for the conversion. Note that SIA doesnt not need to pay cash for conversion during this 10yr period. It can convert using shares.

So the mcb is not really a fixed deposits where u get compound interest. The value of mcbs may increase during the 10yr period but will still be worth lesser if the current sia share price is below $4.84

Hence, mcbs will move in same direction as SIA share price.

From what i read, are u guys expecting sia to redeem mcbs by paying cash if sia redeem before maturity? Pls read the rights issue again

x 1

Thanks. Everything has a price.

With 15B lifeline, SIA will be able to survive. Also, it is within expectation that SIA will continue to lose money in the next 2 yrs. Unless the losses is very extreme, the losses wont impact the SIA price too much.

In short term, it will still be volatile .... due to investors who have not sold their right shares (which they bough cheap or gotten thru excess) .... and if the quarterly report is not that bad ... or vaccines news ....

But if there is surge of price .. say in the third year to 5.14 due to whatever reason, i doubt the MCB will go up in tandem as the conversion will only happen after 10 years. It might adjust in accordance to the year interest that they commit for the MCB. In this scenario, the share will benefit more than MCBs. If it continue to surge to $6 on the fourth year, and SIA choose to redeem, you will only be rewarded with the calculated committed interest.

However, if SIA shares go down but above 2.67 ... but stay that for many years ... as long as there is no more major crisis, the MCB might fare better if you compare to buying the SIA now at $4.

My view. It depends on your investment strategy.

MichaelSchenker ( Date: 20-Jun-2020 19:14) Posted:

Very objective and neutral views. You did a great job, obviously with some homework done.

I would probably need to find out if dividends will actually lead to the adjustment of conversion price.

For your scenario 1, if the SIA share price plunge to 2.42 ..... why will the MCB pull up the share price?

Don' t forget, shareholders had already paid $1 to subscribe for the MCB this year. In 10 yrs time, there won' t be any further cash injection. The MCB will be converted at the technical price (taking into consideration of yearly increment and conversion at 4.84) of $2.67. There will be alot of shares being pump into the market without any cash.

If you are holding your MCB before being converted to $2.67, and the SIA price at that time was say 2.42 (which is 10% lower), the MCB price should automatically adjust 10% lower and will be traded near 0.9. And if you allow the shares to be converted at $2.67, and then sell in the market at 2.42, you will actually lose close to 10%

x 0

Yes, i agreed. However, under your scenario 1, below, if the share price is trading at $2.42 by 2030, the conversion of MCB into shares will not pull up the share price. In fact, those who invested at rights issue of $1 or off the market above $0.9 ... will be converted at technical price of $2.67 but only able to sell into the market at 2.42.

They will lose money instead after 10 years unless SIA is kind enough to redeem the shares instead of letting it convert into shares. If they redeem it, the investors will get good return instead due to the interest.

MCBs are already paid up during the recent rights and bond issue. So for scenario 1, the outstanding MCBs will be converted to SIA share at a price of $4.84 each. MCB holders don' t need to cough up more cash (because they already paid) but they wont' get back cash. Instead, they' ll get additional 37.3 SIA shares for every 100 MCB they hold (whether subscribed during the last fund raising issue or now in the market).

For your scenario 1, if the SIA share price plunge to 2.42 ..... why will the MCB pull up the share price?

Don' t forget, shareholders had already paid $1 to subscribe for the MCB this year. In 10 yrs time, there won' t be any further cash injection. The MCB will be converted at the technical price (taking into consideration of yearly increment and conversion at 4.84) of $2.67. There will be alot of shares being pump into the market without any cash.

If you are holding your MCB before being converted to $2.67, and the SIA price at that time was say 2.42 (which is 10% lower), the MCB price should automatically adjust 10% lower and will be traded near 0.9. And if you allow the shares to be converted at $2.67, and then sell in the market at 2.42, you will actually lose close to 10%.

How to value MCBs? As the MCBs trade below the dollar, do they become more attractive?
After the last rights issue, there were 150 new shares and 295 MCBs issued for every existing 100 shares, bring the total to 250 shares and 295 MCBs yet to be converted to shares. So long as SIA redeem the MCB within 10 years, each provides a compounded annual yield of 6%. However, if the MCBs are not redeemed, every 100 will be converted at the principal value of $180.611 to 37.3 SIA shares priced at $4.84 each (10% premium to post rights TERP).
Let&rsquo s consider two extreme scenarios on the MCB conversion:

1. SIA shares plunged by 50% to $2.42 by 2030.

So the MCB conversion will technically pull up the share price to $3.73, i.e. (250 x $2.42 + 295 x $4.84)/(250 + 295) = $3.73. Every $100 invested in MCB at $1 now will result in $139.13, i.e. 37.3 x $3.73. Giving a compounded annual yield of just 3.4%, nearly half the reported annual yield of the MCB.

2. SIA shares doubled to $9.68 by 2030.
So the MCB conversion will technically pull down the share price to $7.06, i.e. (250 x $9.68 + 295 x $4.84)/(250 + 295) = $7.06. Every $100 invested in MCB at $1 now will result in $263.34, i.e. 37.3 x $7.06. Giving a compounded annual yield of 10.17%.

Thus, the real annual yield of the MCB if not redeemed, will depend very much on the share price of SIA shares then. The likely scenario 10 years on will probably be somewhere in between and the lower the current MCB trades below the dollar, the more attractive the compounded annual yield. For example, the MCBs last traded at 94.5 cts, implying a compounded annual yield of 3.9% even if the worse scenario as mentioned above occurs. To retain the original 6% annual yield even if this happens, the MCB will have to trade around 75 cents.

In short, the MCB' s current ROI is about 3.9% to 10+%. It will be range, rather than a fixed number.

This will apply to other bonds .... but not to SIA.

If upon maturity, the SIA share pricess is way less than $2.67 (technical conversion price), the bond price will drop too ..... as the bond will be converted to shares at this technical price....

Notice that MCBs are falling also. Bonds carry risk and will correlate to mkt sentiments of the company. Just that its less volatile than shares and can recover principal if company doesnt collapse upon maturity.
