I agree that 3.4% premium over NAV is really cheap for a REIT of Saizen's size.
 
Using Saizen's situation as a learning example, I doubt Lippo will offer an attractive premium over NAV for First REIT and Lippo Mall Trust if they ever decide to shift to Indonesia. So, I have decided to divest my First REIT completely last week.

I was thinking the same for First Reit. However they can't offer something below trading price will they ? Sounds unreasonable...

 why not? They are buying the assets and not the shares of first reit.

My opinion diverges from you as 1. The proposed tax changes will likely take 1+ yr to implement 2. There are one off costs incurred with delisting and 3. Delist still subject to shareholders approval, so they may have to offer higher premium over market value to capture approval.
 
I see riady family comments more of a bargaining chip to get preferential REIT tax status in SG.

 I do not see them getting special treatment simply via such comments. It would set a precedence then all the other foreign based Reits will all start issuing comments as well

		Actually 3.4% above NAV isn't much of a premium. Apart from the fire sales back during the financial crisis, Saizen's property sales have always been >10% above valuation... That being said, considering the mindset of shareholders and the prospect of unlocking "value", odds of it going through should be quite high. 
 Should be an easy minimum 10% profit for Lone Star fund just from taking the portfolio apart and selling it off one by one.

If that is the case, why don't saizen mgmt tear their own reit apart ? Doesn't make sense to sell them and lose 10% profit to be gain right ?

Then the offer will not be sincere and reasonable. Will they succeed ?

They've divested 6 properties since 2012, potentially more if this doesn't go through... this route is just a short cut at a potential cost of 10 - 25%.
