These warrants, with a conversion ratio of 1:1 into BIMB shares, will only be expiring on 4 Dec 2023. The warrants are out of money due to the high exercise price of RM4.72 and are unlikely to be exercised prior to the targeted completion date of the restructuring on 3Q2020. Nevertheless, the holders will be paid based on the 5-day VWAP of the warrants. This sum is estimated to be RM110.9mil and will be settled using internally generated funds. The restructuring will see BIMB’s securities business parked under Bank Islam as highlighted in our note on 22 Jan 2019. Current shareholders of BIMB will be receive shares of Bank Islam and Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Keluarga (STMK) in specie. Eventually, all BIMB shareholders will become direct shareholders of Bank Islam and STMK. There will be a swap between the shares of BIMB and Bank Islam. Based on the enlarged share capital of BIMB after the share placement of 1.96bil shares and BIMB shares of 2.5bil, 1 BIMB share will entitled to 1.3 Bank Islam shares. However, the shares Bank Islam will be consolidated. This will see every 1.28 Bank Islam shares consolidated into 1 Bank Islam share, thus lowering the number of shares in Bank Islam by 550mil to 1.96bil shares from 2.5bil. For simplicity’s sake, 1 BIMB share will then be swapped with 1 Bank Islam share. The proposed group restructuring and consolidation of Bank Islam shares are expected to enhance our estimated FY20 BV/share for Bank Islam to RM2.96 from RM2.30. Also with BIMB holding a 59% stake in STMK, 1 BIMB share will be entitled to 0.25 STMK share. With the strong earnings of STMK, the new structure will now allow investors to ride on the potential upside in STMK’s shares as its direct shareholder. After the completion of the proposed distribution of Bank Islam and STMK shares in specie, BIMB will cease to be shareholders of Bank Islam and STMK. However, BIMB will issue 2 new shares to Bank Islam for it to become a wholly- owned subsidiary of the latter. Based on our estimates and current share price of STMK of RM5.82, the combined value of 1.0 Bank Islam share and 0.3 STMK share of circa RM4.80 still provides some upside from the present share price of BIMB at RM4.28/share. However, profit opportunity from acquiring STMK shares indirectly at a cheaper entry price to STMK compared to the current market price is much narrower now than the beginning of this year. This is in view of the appreciation in BIMB’s share price of RM4.28/share vs. a low of RM3.48/share on 2 Jan 2019. BIMB is now trading at 1.2x of FY20 BV. This implies that the market is still undervaluing Bank Islam at circa 1.1x BV despite an expected ROE of 11.6% for FY20. The proposed group restructuring is expected to unlock the value of Bank Islam. In the event of certain key shareholders not taking up the new shares through the private placement, there will be a dilution of their stakes in BIMB. Should this occur, we expect liquidity of BIMB shares to improve. AmInvestment Bank Bhd 2 BIMB Holdings 12 Dec 2019 The proposed private placement is targeted to be completed in 2Q2020 while the distribution of Bank Islam and STMK shares in specie is scheduled to be completed by 3Q2020. The proposals will require the approvals of Bank Negara, the Ministry of Finance, Securities Commission, Bursa Securities as well as the shareholders of BIMB, Bank Islam and warrant holders.
