what happens to tcap shares once it merges with tmb?
the old shares will be automatically converted into tbank? any news for ratio?
thanks, it’s my first “merge” 🙂
Xavi
Tcap is not merging with TMB, it is Tbank that’s merging. You will still hold the same number of shares but will get a special dividend from the sale proceeds of your subsidiary.
Pon
bingo.

Smart guy thanatorn, having a non listed family company means any trouble he makes won’t hurt the shareprice..kidding aside, 2019 has been a roller coaster and expect much the same for 2020.
Pon
I think despite his best interests. He’s made stupid mistakes that should’ve easily been avoided.

One thing that stood out to me from the BBL Permata deal is the incredibly low level of private debt to GDP for Indonesians, 36% which compared to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia is less than half. I wonder if religion plays a part in this?
Pon
Loan sharks.

@ PSL, you wrote: …’I’m still of the viewpoint that the next 1-3 years for shipping are going to be amazing.’
May i please know your rationale behind this comment? because with all the current international economic problems, etc. it would look otherwise on first glance….
Pon
Think I’ve written that IMO2020 is going to have a big impact, go down the google rabbit hole and learn more. You’ll be surprised.
