Hi Alex
Can you comment on WCT and WCT-WB? WCT will held EGM on next Wed to seek shareholder approval for bonus and free warrant, which also resulted adjustment in WCT-WB exercise price from 2.50 to 1.85.
Based on theoretical ex all, WCT should trade at 2.30 , which also implied the gap between WCT and WB exercise widen to as much as 45sen. Based on current WCT-WB trade at 24.5sen, there is potential 20sen upside potential, is it too good to be true!?
Hi Hng,
Where did you get the numbers from? I mean the adjusted WCT-WB exercise price from 2.50 to 1.85 and the theoretical ex all of WCT at 2.30. If one is adjusted by a factor of 0.74 while the other is adjusted by a factor of 0.84. Something doesn't seem right. Please check again.
Hi Alex
The Adjusted exercise is stated in its circular (page 20) to shareholder for its upcoming EGM on next Wed.
Hi Alex,
WCT-WB last Friday closing price was 0.355 @ exercise price 1.85. While mother share 2.75. There is about 0.575 lower than buying mother direct (of course exclusion fees). Isn't this a good buy ?
