ENG's plants in Thailand

A reader has emailed to me a photo of one of ENG's plants which was inundated with flood as high as 2.7 meter a few days ago. The damages to plant & equipment would have been very extensive.


A picture of one of ENG's two plants in Thailand hit by flood recently.

    Its depend on option available, its is normal for comprehensive insurance does not cover flood/earthquake, but i understand there are some selected insurance company offer special coverage for floods with specific term and condition.

  5. Hi Alex,
    ENG is at RM1.46 at 4.50pm today. Should market have taken into consideration of the worse case scenario?
    At RM1.46, what are the next support and resistance level?

    Thanks for the information you have published regarding recent ENG development.

  6. Hi hng

    News of Eng staff exercising their ESOS may not be good news. Why rush to exercise when the price is dropping? The answer: to sell!

  7. Hi ck & hng,

    Normally company do not bother to insure for natural disaster ie floods , earthquake. However ENG has indicated that it did. The big question is whether the insurance is adequate.

  8. Hi chanhoo

    ENG should have support between RM1.20-1.40.

  9. Normally insurance does not cover natural disaster. But if one does ask for coverage, is the insurance company agreeable ? Is the insured amount sufficient to cover for the losses ?
    If someone is exercising ESOS now when the price is dropping, then likely more bad news to come.I suspect the share price will fall below RM1.00

  10. Dear Alex,

    Eng staff exercise ESOS is it because of the expiry date on 22 Oct?( Based on 22 Aug announcement 2.1)

  11. In the Eng takeover note, all ESOS will be take into account and eligible staff really not need to exercise ESOS prior to takeover, as they will pay the differential sum of takeover price RM 2.50 and ESOS exercise price.

    In short, eligible staff just need to wait for takeover to go through and get these windfall differential cash. But the problem is will takeover by TYK will go as plan or abort....

    "The Company and its management team are in the process of determining the extent of the damage which the management believes are adequately covered by its insurance policies."

    Is true or not,only the company has the answer.

  14. Hi This is the day!

    With reference to the link (which I have seen earlier), I believe that the management is in a better position to confirm that. This company appears to be professionally run and as such, I am inclined to think that they are probably adequately covered.

    However, the questions to ask are:
    1) Will they get full payment for damages suffered?
    2) Will they get some payment for profit foregone?
    The answers may be 'NO'.

  16. Hi Alex,

    ENG TEK seems like making a come back after sharp sold off. What do you think of its future trend?

  17. I would like to give comments on the announcement but it is 31 pages and I give up to digest it.

    As comment earlier, it has two problem now: Profit Margin AND Flood.

    My personal opinion, keep away from ENG until you see a clearly picture.

  18. Hi Kong Hui,

    Thanks for the thought. I agree it is still too early to conclude ENG is a buy now looking at the problem it is facing.

  19. Hi This is the day!

    ENG's ESOS are as follows:

    1) 4.66 mil ESOS outstanding;
    2) all will expire on Oct 22; and
    3) exercise prices range from RM1.13 to RM2.50.

    I have earlier stated that the exercise of this ESOS may be a negative event. I changed my mind. With the dateline in place & the flood situation, the exercise can be taken as a vote of confidence that the buyout is likely to proceed. However, I must say that the number of ESOS exercised appears small. However, we do not know how much of the ESOS has intrinsic value vis-a-vis the buyout price (if the buyout is still on) or vis-a-vis the current market price.

    In conclusion, the exercise of the ESOS is a good thing. The small number exercised is a bit negative, which could signal the employees' perception that the deal is dead in the water.

  20. Thanks Alex,

    By the way, the employee still need money to exercising the ESOS. the world we live in always need us to have money 1st before we can make more money....LOL, if one cannot hold on to this stock will lose money because of the news...
