	NEWSBREAK & FORECAST -
	 
	1.
 Sime Darby is considering several options for the proceeds from the 
sale of its remaining 10.89% stake in Eastern & Oriental (E&O), 
including a special dividend to its shareholders. All options remain 
open at this stage on the use of proceeds, which may be utilised for 
capex, loan repayment, working capital, or special dividend.
	 
	2.
 Sime Darby has entered into a Sales & Purchase agreement with 
Amazing Parade Sdn Bhd (owned by Datuk Tee Eng Ho & family of 
Kerjaya Prospect group) for the disposals of its 10.89% investment stake
 in E&O for a cash consideration of RM93.5m (based on RM0.60/share 
or 0.5x P/B as at Dec 2020).
	 
	3.
 Sime Darby will continue to leverage on Australia’s mining sector and 
recovery of China market to sustain earnings. We also expect a continued
 decent dividend yield of 4.3% for the year.
	 
	4.
 Sime Darby bought into E&O in 2011. The disposal is aligned to 
SIME’s on-going efforts to rationalise its non-core assets since the 
demerger with SIME Property and SIME Plantation.
	 
	 
	 
	PREDICTION NEWS - (Foreign luxury carmaker to invest in Malaysia)
	 
	01.
 My views and predicting (It's PORSCHE), the investment will be 
testament to Malaysia’s capabilities as it will demonstrate the luxury 
sports car brand’s confidence in the country’s ability to produce a 
high-quality product.
	 
	02. The partnering with Inokom Corporation, a subsidiary of Sime Darby Motors, which is Sime Darby’s automotive arm.
	 
	03. Inokom will construct a new plant specifically for Porsche in Kedah, in the north of Peninsular Malaysia.
	 
	04. This investment making Malaysia its Southeast Asian hub and very good positive news for Malaysian automotive sector.

	CONCLUSION -
	 
	01.
 Sime Darby's operations are in countries/territories that are not 
subjected to significant movement restrictions and the recovery in motor
 vehicle sales has generally been strong. 
	 
	02.
 Sime Darby's Motor vehicles sales continued to be on strong recovery 
path despite minor setback in global supply chain that may limit sales. 
	 
	03.
 Sime Darby's increased infrastructure spending from fiscal stimulus 
measures by various countries should support equipment sales for the 
Industrial division. Its Port operation continued to face competition 
from other ports especially with the Chinese government rationalizing 
ports operations to create a larger port entity.
