Earlier this year – Frasers announced that they were going to privatise Frasers Hospitality Trust at $0.70.
Back then, I thought the timing was very convenient (I mean they chose to privatise a hospitality REIT right before COVID reopening).
But in all fairness, I also thought that the $0.70 being offered was a very reasonable offer.
Fast forward to this week, and imagine my surprise when the privatization was rejected by unitholders.
The market was equally surprised.
Frasers Hospitality Trust was trading at $0.705 right before the EGM, pricing in very little risk of rejection.
After the results was released, it plunged 25% to intraday lows of $0.525.
So… is Frasers Hospitality Trust a good buy?
