Currently, analysts from Maybank Securities, OCBC Investment Research (OIR) and Lim & Tan Securities have recommended investors “wait” for the final offer. At the same time, they have maintained their “buy” call on the company. The Edge Singapore's own analyst has said Dyna-Mac's intrinsic value is 61 cents.
Of note is that last month, Hanwha dropped its bid for Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)-listed Austal. On Sept 25, in a letter, Hanwha CEO Hyek Woong Kwon cited Austal's unexpected demands and lack of cooperation as key reasons for terminating discussions, Australian media reported.
Currently, Hanwha has irrevocable undertakings for 24.31% of Dyna-Mac. That leaves 25.69% of Dyna-Mac it does not own, to get to the 50% threshold, failing which shareholders who have accepted the offer will have their shares returned.
Hanwha Group says it intends to work with the company to “extend the reach of digital transformation into yards, bringing to life smart yards, while delivering low and zero-carbon solutions that can power the energy transition”, subject to the success of the offer.

Additionally, Hanwha’s offer comes on the back of its consideration of macroeconomic uncertainties. In the face of existing volatility risks, Hanwha adds that it believes “in the need for a patient and sustainable approach to the company’s growth by targeting market opportunities in energy transition more broadly”.
If successful, Hanwha’s acquisition will enable the company to advance new technologies and investments in the Singapore energy market, the offer document says.
The offer closes at 5.30pm on Oct 30.
Shares in Dyna-Mac closed flat at 63 cents on Oct 2, which is above the high reached in 2011 when Brent crude hit US$111 per barrel.
