Exactly.  That is my point.  Kerry Mok is in the mgmt.  He has to be precise and exact.  A good brief will be something like: WFS Acquisition 1. RI of 4:1 at $2.20, raising $800M 2. Bank loan of $700m at 4% interest per annum for 10yrs 3. Own cash of $200m. No ifs, no buts.  Precise and to the point

Right to the point ...agree.  From investor point of view .....tell me directly rights is 4:1 at 2.20 ....this is direct and allow investor to know and prepared the capital or otherwise.  In fact it is worst to say not more then $800M and maybe this or that ....it ONLY develop view that nothing is confirm . You mean management MUST depend on the share price jus  in one to two mth than can confirm the rights ration n price ......hmm  all generating more questions ???  Whatever, STILL awaiting the confirmation the ACTUAL right ratio and price .....till this is in hard copy .....i guess SATS price will still be volatile.  Dyodd

Used to look at SATS at a good dividend stock before the acquisiton. Concern is the slow and inadequate disclosure that leads one to ask whether the Co is up to the task of executing the acquistion, integrating the diverse operating units and the employees and contractors. Really, not even a transcript of the Q& A or substantive questions posed in the Hybrid Session. |

Agree with you.  In any business, clarity and timeliness in announcements are important.  Mo company shd shy away from releasing imformation quickly and in good time.  Some SHs are happy with vague SATS statements and ambiguities and claim they can make informed decisions with half baked statements which hardly are revealing nor lrgally binding on the mgmt.  1. For SATS to say that there are few banks which are willing to extend loans for SATS to buy WFS means nothing, 2. For SATS to say that the RI shd not be more than $800m means nothing nor binding. I dont consider the above vague SATS statements as meaningful |

SATS could pick a leaf from CSE' s disclosure on its Hybid Session on its rights issue.  It disclosed its presentation on the right issues and Q& A transcripts on the following day.  CSE also has Big Brother as its investors. Not advocating buying CSE as I do not understand its business.  It has been making profits, why the need for right issue. |

Well, everyone could have their own opinions. To me, I have studied the details, and found it is good enough to make informed decision. SATS buying WFS is huge amount purchase, I don&rsquo t expect they get every single details ready then announce. Instead, I understand the overall the direction and decision is great, most of the information is also there for investors, that is good enough. We shall allow SATS some time to fine tune it which will be better beneficial to shareholders. For example, they got a few bank offering the term loan, so they need some time to negotiate for better rate and terms. Also, they are aware current share price already over sold, they may like to take a bit more time to see if it rebounce back higher so that they can put the right at higher price to minimize dilution, all these considerations are good for shareholders, so we shall be more patience to wait for good news

Totally agree 100a%
Vast majority of Temasek investments exceed expectations FTX was unfortunate and Sam Bankman-Fried seems to have deceived even the best institutions

Majority of Temasek investment making good return, that is why Temasek is able to grow well in the long term. However, nobody is god able to make 100% investment with good return. For FTX they just put in 200m+ which is smaller amount to Temasek comparing their other billions investment. Probably they understood FTX is high risk high return type, that is why they did not put in more. Furthermore, FTX is the controlling shareholder ILLEGALLY took other people&rsquo s transaction money for high risk activity Mainly for pushing own FTT price and causing it topple overnight. It is totally different SATS buying WFS.

WFS will be like FTX ??? https://sgwealthbuilder.com/2022/06/13/dbs-group-holdings-faces-asia-f... The collapse of FTX is indeed sobering. Yet how did Temasek Holdings manage to invest more than US$275 million in a company that lacks corporate governance? Where is the risk management and what kind of due diligence has been done by those smart dudes at Temasek Holdings before they pumped so much money into backing FTX? Writing off US$275 million of investments is one thing. Of utmost importance would be accountability. Making this amount of losses for an institutional investor is not only embarassing.

Kerry & Manfred mentioned they already got offers for term loans, and company cash portion also ready. So I think they are waiting to see the share price if go higher, so that they may put the right price higher to minimize dilution. Base on what they mention of the rights to be 10:3 or 4:1, also the fund less than $800m, people may easy to calculate the right price to be around $2.3-2.7, and also easily to calculate how much money to pay for rights base on own holding of share currently. So everything is very clear already

During Meeting Shareholders Section, Kerry and Manfred have given us much more confidence on the operation and acquisition! It shows Sats / Temasek have gone through long time which is talking about years of thorough due diligence, so the acquisition is not something happen over night. They also already got plan in how to integrate WFS smoothly  in coming 12-18 months. They are confident in the positive $100m synergy effects yearly. The rights going to be 10:3 or 4:1 depend on market price then. There is not going to be huge discount on right price to reflect that Sats is not in financing distress, instead is on good business opportunity to generate better return for shareholders. I think the right price likely will be around $2.3 if share price stay at current level, or even at $2.7 if by the time price goes back to above $3. Temasek and all directors will subscript the rights fully as they are confident enough! Temasek will not take excess rights due to certain threshold limitation as if they take more, that will limit Sats operation in certain territory, the excess rights if any will be undertake by the bank. That is good as that shall avoid the right price to be priced too low. By next quarter, they forecast business volume will go up to about 80% pre-pandemic level which is crossing over 70% of break even point. So Sats will start to make profit and distribute dividend. These are really good news and I believe that will definitely boost the share price higher and higher. |

Agree. But there is no plan yet.  So we can deduce that SATS is facing problems trying to secure funding for WFS' s acquisition.  And this is not good.  Market will punish SATs.  SHs will suffer
