Weekly Deals Digest (04 Jun) - Golden Energy, Challenger, ENM, Golden Eagle Retail, Amman Mineral

<ul>
<li>The IFA has concluded that the Widjaja family’s offer for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/united-fiber-system-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:20826:1" rel="noopener">Golden Energy &amp; Resources (GER SP)</a> is fair and reasonable. The EGM will be held on 9 June. </li>
<li>The IFA has justified its conclusion based on a convoluted methodology that has serious flaws. A fairer SOTP valuation is 37% higher than the IFA’s SOTP valuation range.</li>
<li>Notably, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/dian-swastatika-sentosa-tbk" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15281:1" rel="noopener">Dian Swastatika Sentosa (DSSA IJ)</a> will abstain from voting on both resolutions.

<li>Responding to SIAS and the SGX, the Widjaja Family revised terms such that <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/united-fiber-system-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:20826:1" rel="noopener">Golden Energy  (GER SP)</a> shareholders opting for an all-cash payout would receive S$0.973/share, up from S$0.846/share.</li>
<li>The Offer remains low-balled. The Offer should include a similar in-specie of the <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/stanmore-coal-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15252:1" rel="noopener">Stanmore Coal (SMR AU)</a> stake together with a cash-out option. This is the most transparent approach.</li>
<li>The Circular is out and the IFA reckons the Offer is fair &amp; reasonable - despite a fair value of S$0.574/share for Stanmore versus the Exit Offer of A$0.181/share. </li>
