expect a special dividend in Dec when it receives final payment of 50M ringgit from Berjaya in Oct this year

Duty free zon (DFZ) when it was listed in bursamalaysia has been making profit even during the horror time in 2008. And has been generous in it's dividend, and with the few potential catalyst I listed, I vested for the long term

Summary of the potential catalyst:
1) Upgrading to mainboard
2) Berjaya Vincent Tan may be interested to take it private
3) New contracts obtained in KLIA terminal 2 provides more revenue and hence potential profit
4) Restructing of Malaysia airline by Khazanah Nasional due to MH371 and MH17 may lead to selling off of non-aviation related business, so duty free international may revive talk with ERAMAN duty free for a merger to create a billion dollar revenue company.
5) Potential special dividend when they receive the 50 million ringgit payment from Berjaya by Oct this year.

Malaysia Airline going to be delisted.
MAS plans to present a revival plan to its biggest stakeholder Khazanah Nasional this week, sources told the financial portal yesterday. The options range from privatising the company to bankruptcy, both of which involve a delisting from Bursa Malaysia.

Would there be a chance that Duty Free International can revive the proposal to buy over Eraman Duty Free so that KLIA can focus on aviation related business and leave the duty free business to duty free Zon?
