There will still be the EGM for all minority shareholders to vote and decide. Otherwise, the whole process could be frustrated and truncated if another set of some minority shareholders should go to court and start another case.

austinkenneth:



This document is confusing in my opinion.

First it states in section (IV) that:
An order directing that, if at the Court Ordered Meeting of the First Respondent, the Scheme
is approved by a majority representing not less than three-quarters (3/4) in value of the
shares held by the members being present and voting either in person or by proxy, the
reports of the Court-Ordered meetings be presented to the Court within 30 days, for an Order
of this Honourable Court to sanction the Scheme.

This can be interpreted to mean that:
(a) OODP holding 57.4% of the votes will vote yes or no at the EGM meaning delisting is a done deal because they'll vote yes or
(b) OODP holding 57.4% of the votes will not vote yes or no for delisting at the EGM. In this case, the three 'minority' shareholders who hold 74%-57% = 17% will have at least a 40% (17%/42.6% = 40%) of the vote given that all other minority shareholders will not be present. This still represents a high odds for delisting at N7.07.


Secondly, in the last paragraph we have the statement:
Today, OODP has a shareholding of 57.37% in Oando PLC and the above-mentioned minority
shareholders 42.63% shareholding. This action precipitated by the petition from certain Oando
minority shareholders, if approved by all the minority shareholders at the court-ordered meeting
will result in a voluntary delisting of the Company’s shareholding on the NGX in accordance with
its guidelines for delisting of securities

This means ALL! the minority shareholders present must approve the delisting for it to happen. I think someone would come back to tell us that this is not the intention or the spirit of the writers of this doc or the court ( this is now looking like the 25% of Abuja brouhaha )

@Emmansoft, @Customstreet, @Mcy2 Please I already have stock account with Morgan Capital which I have found to be very okay.To diversify I want to open a second stock account with another low fees broker that also allows its clients direct live access to the trading floor, comparable to that of Morgan. My research on this thread pinpointed Stanbic brokers because of its relative low fees but going by the discussion here at page 6967 between BabsO2 and Omoeko to the effect that they monitor their orders to Stanbic through the portal of other stockbrokers, I now hesitate to go with Stanbic. Please which is the stockbroker whose fees is low and at the same gives investors direct access to the market like the Morgan's platform? My need is a broker with low fees (I do jijo) a platform with direct view of current market bids, offers and volume on real time basis. Suggestions are welcomed and I will do my due diligence before choosing. Thanks.

Unbelievably disappointing result from Access bank if that is trulyvtheir eps. But the result is hard to interpret. It appears they excluded their fx gains in calculating their eps.

Make the accounting gurus interpret this one for us abeg.

How much interim dividend from
Access Bank?

Frangel:


I saw that last paragraph. It's a text by the author of the notice.

Notice that the order of the court stopped at (v) which determines how the voting approval is got.

The Court cannot give any definite order or judgement on the case without the minority shareholders voting to decide on the buyout. It can never happen. There are other minority shareholders who must be given the opportunity to decide, otherwise they will also go to court and scuttle the whole process once again. The 14 shareholders cannot represent all millions of minority shareholders and you expect the millions not to express their opinion on the matter through voting.

1. Closure date was even backdated to 27th July ,2023

2. Shenanigans have started by excluding their unrealized FX gain

3. Access Bank need to be monitored and examined well

4. What is the IFRS treatment of FX realized and unrealized gain or loss?

5. Access likes doing their own different from others

6. No payment date

This is how Oando started few years ago with this type of shenenigans

It is well

Fx gains was included to arrive at PAT (Notes 11+12).

My fear is they are expanding too fast (mostly inorganic). Could be catastrophic if not well managed. Anyway, the higher the risk the higher the gains, all things going well. Reason why I have some for the great future potentials.

BabsO2:


Yes they have borrowed forex to use for expansion. I noted that earlier in this thread (several pages back). The load of the fx additional tier 1 capital will surely reduce fortunes of common Naira shareholders, especially if the growth they deployed the fx to is currently not yielding fx income. The tier 1 fx instrument holders will always get their returns first in fx before the common shareholders get the left over. And this will tend to reduce the earnings per share to shareholders till their fx assets start bearing fruit. However should their expansions bear good fruit in months and years ahead, common naira shareholders on NGX will reap bountifully. This reward may be round the corner or may be far off who knows? Since management have been acquiring shares perhaps it may not be far off.

Frangel:

I totally agree with you. Herbert has significantly increased his indirect holdings in H1 through his offshore interest.

I will want to buy more if investors are generally dissatisfied with the low interim div and the price falls significantly lower.

ON ACCESSCORP 2022 YE report...

Pls let's not get too excited.
No doubt, ACCESSCORP did well at declaring a mouthwatering dividend and any dividend growth investor will of course embrace it, but can that be said of a value investor? ...not entirely?

Based on their YE, 2022 Nos, I dare say that UBA is still ahead of ACCESSCORP.
The magt of ACCESS need to be more efficient. They do have a strong "war chest", but the focus to build via inorganic growth has been the bane to a commensurate measure in earnings quality in view of the banks asset size. (AsY/AsQ from key ED)

Until 2021, they were doing well at optimizing cost whilst building the necessary synergy, but it appears their foray into some African countries/romance with 1 or 2 lenders has taken more than it has given them.
I was not entirely impressed by their performance in 2021. ...they should've have done more!
H1, 2022 was particularly a deviation in growth trajectory for me given how the banks AsQ relates to some of her VPDs.

Before 2021, ACCESS was well ahead of UBA in view of how risk relates to VALUE... and rightly so seeing how the former outperformed the latter in CGY YoY. (I recall writing an article to compare both lenders at the time)
But in recent time, UBA has no doubt been the more efficient bank. ...it has done better at delivering more comparative value with less.(liquidity)

By my several estimate, ACCESSCORP earnings quality is relatively fair.
An EPA analysis shows that accruals contribute less than 47% of earnings delivery, so we can say that it's ok.
But Yes, they can and should do better.
Using the same approach pegs UBA @ less 31% on accrual basis... which currently makes her a more efficiently run banking entity than ACCESS (a few other P2P comparative analysis also lends credence to this fact)

With that N1.3 dividend proposal (which of course triggered the excitement and interest in the stock), I expect ACCESSCORP to rise and perhaps hover around N12-13+ in the short term.
However, unless the overall mkt/sector assigned sentiment remains positive, am not so sure about the sustainability in cap appreciation post ex-dividend.
But for that dividend, there could've been a near 1 probability that the price will drop even if it will later rise.

I like ACCESSCORP Q1, 2023, but I also do have some concerns. It's nice to see that they've started the yr in good light but hey! it's not the 1st time they'll have a good quarter performance and follow it up with a material deviation 90 days later.
I'd love to see them show some great measure of consistency.

Before 2021, I had advised for a 70-30% fund allocation in favor of ACCESS (ahead of UBA), but in view of recent guide from their financial print (particular in the last 3 quarters), that portfolio weighting is now 60-40% in favor of UBA.
...I still do.

Bottom line: ACCESSCORP is good, but UBA is better. ...well, for now!
If the share price of the former can push up because of its proposed div cash flow, the latter will because of its slightly better fundamental stance.

CAVEAT: NOT to be inferred as any sought of recommendation. ...the need for due diligence should still take higher precedence ahead of this post.

It is well.

The closure date must have been proposed when the report was signed. Let's wait for the corporate action announcement. (Last Sterling div was backdated sha).
