Ya....but....they have already shorted before it even start trading. And waiting for you to short so that they can cover back.  This is really sure-win lucky draw for them.

In others word.

They need money badly to roll over, to pay off debt and of course, wanted as well to pocket public money.

See as you wish, if oneself wanted to support, give your support then,

I can oni say is wrong timing, wrong target, wrong people's and wrong place.

Summary it up, everything is not right for this ipo-ing.

If it is private, they can eat all the money they want - now current share holders wanted badly to eat public money, so as to continue eating and pocketing more into their personnal money machine.

Amtex CEO. Mr Daniel Yeong Bou Wai  like that Si Bei Chait lat liao.

7) Besides paying themselves a US$100mil dividend , the Vendors has an outstanding loan of US$52.7 million from Amtek, which the Vendors will repay to Amtek using the IPO proceeds. Meanwhile, in the past 3 years Amtek paid about US$10mil annually in financing charges to the banks. Is it a coincidence that Std Chartered is one of Amtek's 2 main bankers?

8 ) The CEO and CFO both joined after the privatization, i.e. this Amtek is not led by the A-Team that brought Amtek to where it was. I counted at least 5 other senior management people whom the CEO took with him to Amtek from GES. Interestingly. (Former GES - GM).

The CEO (himself) got a pay jump from at least S$1mil in 2009 to at least S$1.75mil in 2010 even though Amtek made a loss in 2009 and only recovered slightly in 2010. Oh, by the way, the CEO owns 8.2% of the vendor that is selling the shares.

Let see how ?, those Angmo hold this baby for Daniel Yeong.and companies

Say NO to Private Equity Greed, Say NO to Amtek IPO

Amtek was one of my double-bagger previously. I just took a look at the prospectus, but I don't think I will go for it this time.

1) The company was stagnant from the time it got privatised till now. Revenue dropped from US$786m in 2008 to $638m in 2010 (Jun end). Profits more than halved from $46.1m to $21.7m. Made a loss of $12m in 2009.

2) The private equity owners paid themselves a dividend of SG 23.46c per share (about US$100m) in 2009, causing equity to half.

3) YET, the company is trying to raise up S$547mil from IPO, about the same as the takeover price of $552mil. The IPO would value Amtek at $706m to $869m, up to 57% above takeover price. Historic price-earnings ratio at IPO is 33 to 40 times.

4) The shares offered are all vendor shares, i.e. the company itself would not get a single cent


The PE owners can go F themselves.

They screw up and paid $1.10 for every share previously.  So profit only < $0.20 per share.

Like that ahh...pay more $1.01ct per thousand share, imagined -  200,000,000 million shr on offer.

200,000,000 x 1.01ct (net profit) = pocket $202 million dollars liao. If wrong - pls correct me.

One very important thing, NAV only 29cts.  You pay extra $1.01 per share.

It is like paying $358K for a $80,000 new car.

WOW, I am not going to pay for their mistake man.........

Re-fresh - While information is always distinctively late and trading always coming in fast and ferocious at the fore. Forming very own decision wisely is as difficult as finding a pin in the ocean. When oneself is in d picture, it can always as good as not been able to tell what is good, bad or ugly. it is always human, to error...the less prone mistake decision make, the better.

In others word - stay outside of the picture and can see more or less, the truth self of it.

teeth53 - just my personnal opinion, as there r as many others may have alot differentiating it as well.

(To each it own, hope oneself chose d right choice...Happy trading..Ya.)

Ya, you should not short as this help to let the underwriters make more money.

While the IPO is $200M, the issuer banks actually sold 200M +30M = $230M shares.  In other words, they already shorted before the counter is listed.

And either way they win, if underwater, the delta is the extra profit.  If above water, they exercise their rights to be $30M share to cover from the company, this will increase the IPO size.

So Jackpot2010 said is so true.......

DO NOT BUY, DO NOT SHORT !

Retail portion is too small - only $20m. That means the majority owners can easily manipulate higher than ipo price in the short-term. Shortist will be badly hurt!

News from HK....Amtek cuts IPO size

http://www.financeasia.com/News/239687,hong-kong-listings-called-off-while-amtek-cuts-ipo-size.aspx?refresh=on

Meanwhile, in Singapore, Amtek Engineering downsized its IPO after the institutional demand was deemed to be insufficient.

which obviously begs the question ? of why ? this is a good time to buy when the original shareholders are divesting. The shares were sold by an entity owned by Standard Chartered Private Equity, CVC Capital Partners and the company management, which teamed up to buy the company in 2007.

At the time of the listing, Standard Chartered Private Equity and CVC will each own 28.3% of the company, while the management will hold a combined 5.3%. Shareholders who participate in the IPO will own 36.8%.

The IPO price was fixed at the bottom of the S$1.30 to S$1.60 for a total deal size of S$260 million ($200 million). The final price values the company at 8.3 times its 2011 earnings.

Divesting or pocketing by selling at higher prices ?.

Good time ? - with Euro PIIGs, with China / HK curbing it hot properties speculation and with North/South artillery firing @each others.

I agree with the part on not shorting. Retail investors have only 20mil shares. IPO managers have 30mil for stabilization.

STX OSV also had a similar situation when too many people do naked-short and couldn't cover. SGX tried to buyi n next day, also can't buy back enough.

Just stay away and warn your friends about this..

Beware! This 1 maybe a fake ipo - to con retail investors.

Institutional investors were allocated $180m + retail $20m = $200m. These so-called institution investors ($180m) maybe "phantom" investors - i.e. money merely moved from left to right pocket of original shareholders. Onced listed they will slowing divest to retail investors - even at half price (65c) is not cheap. My honest opinion - it should be trading at about 20c only (vs book value 29c). Correct me if I am wrong - No contract manufactuers listed in SGX or worldwide sells at this price ($1.30 = 4.4x book value).
