Hidden in the results waffle is a proposed disposal for over £11 mil. I'll have to look closer over the weekend. I mean if it was a slam dunk I would be buying size right now but I'm cautious in everything
(4) Proposed disposal of OneShop Retail Sdn Bhd ("1Shop") and proposed joint venture with Super Apps Holdings Sdn Bhd ("Super Apps")
On 19 October 2022 M1 Malaysia entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Super Apps for the proposed disposal by M1 Malaysia of a 60% shareholding in the Group's wholly-owned non-core subsidiary 1Shop to Super Apps (together the "Proposed Disposal"). Concurrently, M1 Malaysia entered into a Joint-Venture cum Shareholders Agreement with Super Apps and 1Shop (together the "Proposed Joint Venture"). The Proposed Disposal and Proposed Joint Venture are inter-conditional in order to establish a new joint venture to expand the Group's e-products and services business initially in Malaysia.
The Proposed Disposal is subject to the completion of a merger exercise between Technology & Telecommunication Acquisition Corporation ("TETE") and Super Apps (together the "Merger Exercise") .
Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Disposal and subject to the completion of the Merger Exercise, the Group is expected to receive cash proceeds of RM40.0 million (c. GBP7.53 million) and RM20.0 million (c. GBP3.76 million) within 14 days and 180 days respectively of completion of the Merger Exercise.
-- Proposed Disposal
1Shop is incorporated in Malaysia and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of M1 Malaysia. In light of 1Shop's access to M1 Malaysia's network of licenses as well as being a non-core subsidiary, the Directors of the Group have selected 1Shop to be the joint venture vehicle with Super Apps pursuant to the Proposed Disposal and the Proposed Joint Venture.
-- Proposed Joint Venture
Following completion of the Proposed Disposal, pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Joint Venture, M1 Malaysia undertakes to provide the necessary technical and business support to 1Shop. In addition, as part of the terms of the Proposed Joint Venture, M1 Malaysia guarantees that 1Shop will achieve revenues of at least RM560.0 million (equivalent to c. GBP104.5 million) in the financial year ending 31 December 2023 or any other period as mutually agreed (the "Revenue Target"). As the Merger Exercise has been delayed, the period to achieve the Revenue Target shall be re-assessed and agreed with Super Apps in due course.
In order to achieve the Revenue Target, Super Apps undertakes to provide all the necessary working capital requirements of 1Shop. This will be supplemented through Super Apps, in conjunction with 1Shop, collaborating with other organisations.
Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Joint Venture, in consideration of M1 Malaysia's undertakings and guarantee of achieving the Revenue Target, Super Apps shall procure TETE to issue shares in TETE (the "TETE Shares") to a stakeholder to be mutually agreed by
