MISC Bhd could spend up to RM2.9 billion to acquire a 40 per cent stake in Yinson Holdings Bhd under a potential privatisation, CGS International Securities Malaysia said.

The estimate is based on a hypothetical offer price of RM2.50 per Yinson share, with the deal potentially involving MISC, The Employees Provident Fund and Yinson’s Lim family.

CGS said an all-cash deal is unlikely as the RM2.9 billion outlay would use about 40 per cent of MISC’s RM7.2 billion cash balance.

Instead, MISC could inject offshore assets into Yinson in exchange for new shares, helping reduce Yinson’s high gearing.

However, CGS maintained a “Reduce” call on MISC, saying that exposure to Yinson’s high debt and slower FPSO order growth could weigh on its share price.
