Goodricke Group Limited (a 74% owned Indian subsidiary company of Camellia) listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange. Is there any rule that says CAM cannot delist Goodricke or any rule that CAM cannot increase its shareholding.

Personally, I voted against the Tender.

Eezymunny is right that an outer might be notably profitable trading.

The VEP had some interesting intentions regarding operational improvements.

I'd also hope to see them off-load some of their marginal tea estates.

Potential acquisitions: highly unlikely that there are potential targets as cheap as CAM itself. Really, it's a no-brainer to launch another tender - even though they've said they won't.

Exactly zoolook. CAM historically made consistent and significant profits (10-60m?) . Oversupply of tea, cost inflation and the awful Bardsley fiasco have made the last couple of years miserable for shareholders but oversupply can soon change...

a conundrum.
Say the share price rose from 42 to 52 when the tender was announced.
Did the Trust deal with insider information.
The tender is at 54.
The minority will tender all their shares.
There is a two week gap before share certificates are returned.
When the minority can trade what will the share price do.

It is the duty of a Chair to represent ALL shareholders in the round. It is not implicit that short term or shareholders thinking of selling are second class shareholders. Any Chair thinking that way should be sacked.

I’ve participated in numerous share offers and often when the Board can effectively do what it wants due to having a controlling interest. In none of those cases has a share offer been set so close to the prevailing market price and more importantly at such a massive discount to TNAV per share. This is a gross mistreatment of minority shareholders. Furthermore it is not an offer to buy all your shares only a fraction. Much like a dividend it is a potential way (if priced fairly) for the company to reward fractional owners for their investment along the way where the proceeds can be reinvested by long termers to increase their shareholding if they wish. The recent offer by LDG is a good example of this.

The attitudes expressed by thirty fifty twenty and ExV symptomatic of the reason that sleepy companies such as Camellia remain value traps for decades.

Good luck to shareholders. You need it.

Hello thirty fifty twenty.

"Surprised??" I'm not "surprised" by the decisions of CAM's management; why should I be? What has "surprise" got to do with it? The opinion of most on here is in fact that it's same old, same old.


There is deep value in the share price; I'm holding here because of that deep value. Not because I'm in agreement with management, or disagreement. Of course, if I thought the management was so dire it would further destroy value, then I WOULD sell.

There is nothing LOGICALLY incompatible about holding a share the management of which you do not rate highly. Indeed, many deep value shares have reached deep value, precisely because of management errors. I see no investment reason to avoid that category of shares, just because management isn't stellar.

I'm not participating in the tender offer, and yes a tender offer at such a deep discount to PTBV will increase the discount to PTBV of the remaining shares post shares being tendered. And they could actually be a whole sight bolder and offer a tender at a higher price to take out far more minority shareholders.

What's more, they should have negotiated with the Trust and insisted the Trust participate in the tender offer: this would then have been at a much higher price. Otherwise, no Tender Offer.

Look, if the only action minority shareholders should take, in your view, if they don't like the course of action of management, is sell, that stance further weakens the position of minority shareholders. It's a stance of total passivity.


As for contacting the Company, I'm afraid my two questions for the presentation didn't make it past the moderator, he chose the fat pitches instead.

Finally, on a positive note, I thought there were signs of hope in the intention to increase capex to try to raise margins; there's also some hope in Goodricke's first sale of under-performing tea garden assets.

i've not actually made any comment on my view re mgt and capital allocation
- you have made assumptions.

of course everyone has a right to their opinion,
but if you buy shares in a company in which you are a minority,
and in which from one's research there is a terrible history,
to me, it is then surprising, to be surprised!

re the tender, it is free choice to accept the tender or not.
i dont know what the assets are worth,
and i dont know what discount i would then apply to own a part of those assets with a majority shareholder in charge.
i do know the price in the market.

if you think shares are worth a lot more - then dont tender and you benefit from those that sold at 'only £54. you benefit exactly the same way as the people in control do.

if you dont trust / rate / or like the management ,
to me it is more logical to then not hold a share in their company,
rather than hold a shares and criticise what they do b/c you would do it differently.

i dont intend to be rude, so my apologies if i have been lazy in my posts.
we have spent many hours over the years sitting around being very specific about our investment strategy and the result is that we have only rarely any 'surprises' from management. and the result of that is that we dont get irritated very often.

i probably should never have made the initial post in react to a fellow shareholder feeling irritated.

please do keep posting. i'm going to filter myself now as i dont think i'm adding to the discussion to the benefit of others.

all IMHO, DYOR + BoL
CAM is in my top 5 hldgs

p.s. we've read, and re-read all the documents several times, and met with the new mgt before and since buying any shares. The investment fits my strategy, and for me the new mgt have operated very consistently with their intentions.
If i owned the company would I run it differently to the mgt - completely! (so this maybe we agree on)but that option is not on the table.

best wishes

Good, 30 50 20, you do agree they are poor capital allocators and you are right.

You seem to think nobody should be vocal and disagree with management's flawed strategy. As if there is no right or no point or neither of the two in speaking up. You have
forgotten that we are partial owners of this Company and are right to point out the flaws in their approach


Also the fact the Trust isn't participating means their percentage control increases; this is highly unlikely to produce a fairer attitude to minority shareholders.

I want management to make strategically coherent decisions which out the value in this share. They have not managed to do so, partly out of timidity, partly because it's more exciting for them to maintain a huge wad of cash, to be blown on acqusuitions which are extremely likely to have far less favourable deep value characteristics than CAM itself.

that is an incorrect deduction!

everyone's own choice which shares to hold. CAM fits with my strategy and I am content.
