At the company’s annual general meeting held last Friday (Jan 19), Jumbo Group’s shareholders approved the renewal of its share buyback mandate.
In a bourse filing, the food and beverage player said that it will offerS$0.26in cash per share to buy back up to10 per centof the company’s643,658,465 sharesin issue.
The offer represents a6.1 per centdiscount to the average market price of the company’s shares over the last five market days before the offer was announced.
Under the equal access offer, each shareholder can accept to sell to the company up to10 per centof their shares.
Jumbo Group added that up to7.5 millionof the shares bought back will be held or dealt with as treasury shares, while the remainder will be cancelled.
Internal resources will be used to finance theS$16.7 millionrequired to purchase shares under the equal access offer, the company said.
For the year ended Sep 30, 2023, the company posted a net profit ofS$14.6 million, reversing a net loss ofS$91,000over the same period a year earlier.
“The equal access offer provides shareholders who find it difficult to sell down a substantial portion of the shareholdings in the company as a result of the low trading volume in the shares with an opportunity to liquidate and realise their investment in the shares,”said Jumbo.
“This is an option which may not otherwise be readily available due to the low trading liquidity of the shares.”
