Dayang, how will its share price move next week? kcchongnz
Bonus Issues, Share split, Free Warrants, Rights Issues and Private Placements
Waiter: Do you want to slice your pizza to 5 pieces or 10 pieces?
Me: No, 20 pieces please. I am very hungry.
Dayang announced its corporate exercise after the close of the market last Friday. How will its share price move next Monday?
What are corporate exercises and why such exercises?
Bonus is fully paid-up new ordinary shares issued free to existing shareholders in proportion to their current stock/shareholdings. It capitalizes a part of distributable reserve in retained earnings to bring:
(1) share capital more in line with the assets employed; and
(2) a high share price back to a more manageable amount, thus seemingly enhancing its marketability.
Although the number of shares held by each shareholder increases, few investors realize that the value of the total shareholding remains the same as before the bonus issue, just like cutting the pizza above. Share split is quite similar to bonus issues, but by splitting say a stock to five stocks, with 5 times more shares outstanding, but sharing the same earnings and cash flows of the company.
Rights issue involves shares being offered to existing shareholders at a discount to the current trading price, for the purpose of raising funds for the company. Capital is raised when investors pay for the new shares that are being issued. Companies can use the raised capital to acquire assets, make a take-over, repay debts or save themselves from bankruptcies. Rights issues however are sometimes issued by companies with healthy balance sheets in order to fund research and development projects or to purchase new companies.
Private placement does the same purpose as the Rights Issues except that the shares are offered to institutional investors or high net-worth individuals, normally closed to the management at a discount. Private placement could dilute the shareholding of the existing shareholders. However, it is a faster exercise with minimal regulatory requirements and shareholders may see long-term gains if the company can effectively invest the extra capital obtained and ultimately increase its revenues and profitability.
Warrants are long-term instruments that also allow shareholders to purchase additional shares of stock at a discounted price, but they are typically issued with an exercise price above the current market price to provide opportunity for shareholders to convert the warrants to ordinary shares within a fixed period of time up to 10 years. Warrants are usually offered in conjunction with right issues and act as a “sweetener” in Bursa. Often, they are offered for “free”, just to boast up share price and potential return to existing shareholders. In Jaks’ case at the end of 2018, it was offered with a price of 25 sen each. It can be converted to the underlying share within 5 years with an exercise price of 64 sen. Only a third of the warrants Rights were subscribed.
Of course, a company can raise capital by other ways, such as borrowing from banks or issuing bonds or loan stocks, convertible loan stocks, redeemable preference shares etc. However, there can be times where the banks and investors may be reluctant to lend, especially if the company is not doing well. In addition, high interest rate incurred by loans or the issuance of bonds and other securities may also force a company to raise capital through rights issue offering and private placement.
Effects of corporate exercises
Bonus issues, share split and Rights issue will cause a company’s net profit to spread over a larger number of shares. In other words, a company’s earnings per share will decrease as earnings allocated to each ordinary share an investor has invested in will be diluted. However, capital raised through rights issue can further strengthen the company’s balance sheet and allow it to pursue strategic opportunities in core markets.
After the announcement on the Bonus, share split and Rights Issue, and free warrant, the shares will be trading on a “cum” basis. As long as an investor purchases the shares while they are trading on “Cum” basis, the shareholder will be eligible to receive the Bonus Shares and subscribe to the Right Shares as declared by the company. Once the shares trade on “ex” basis, an investor who purchases the shares will no longer be eligible to receive the Bonus, right Shares and Warrants as declared by the company. Rights are often renounceable, and investors can sell off the Rights after the ex-date for a period of about 1-2 weeks before expiry of the Rights.
Investors’ Reactions
When a company in Bursa announces a corporate exercise such as bonus issues, share splits, free warrants, existing shareholders jump up with joys when share price spikes while new investors scrambled to join in the party. Why not when they can get free shares, or more shares without having to pay any money. However, nothing can be created from the sky, except that the shares appear to be more liquid.
How do investors behave when there is a rights issues, when existing investors have to come out with money to subscribe for more shares?
Sapura Energy’s Rights Issues was undersubscribed by 18.5% in 2018. Jaks’ warrants Rights Issues suffered gross under-subscription of 68% at the end of 2018. Jaks’ share price dropped from about RM1.00 to about 40 sen in about 3 months after the announcement of the warrants Rights. The existing shareholders of Jaks and Sapura Energy didn’t seem happy though.
In 2018, Eversendai had a private placement with institutional investors at a discount of 10% below its market price of about RM1.00 then. However, the more shares it placed, the fiercer the drop of its share price. In the end the company halted the private placement and little money was raised. As on today, the share price of Sendai has dropped by 57% to 43 sen now, in less than a year!
Dayang recently announced a corporate exercise of Rights Issues and Private Placement. I as an investor would not be happy as I have to come out with more money and my shareholding is being diluted by the discounted private placement. But this is just out of necessity that this exercise needs to be carried out to strengthen its balance sheet and that of its subsidiary Perdana Petroleum, which may be a good exercise.
Reading the comments from i3investor, the response doesn’t seem to be positive. How will the share price of Dayang reacts next week? I honestly don’t know, and don’t care much about the short-term movement of share price.
Focus on the performance of the company business, not these corporate gimmicks and we will do better in our investment journey. Avoid all those useless noises in investing, and we will do satisfactorily in our long-term investing journey.
With that I will celebrate my life, not the announcement of Rights Issues and Private Placement of Dayang, with a better Otago Gibbston Valley Reserve Pinot Noir here.
Oh yeah, I have written an eBook on how to take care of your personal finance, investing options and what, which and how to focus on the business of a company if you wish to invest in its stock. Anyone interested please email me at,

Super interesting! My respect is now increased. KC makes much sense and more gentleman.
Learn even more things now, and even more disrespect to Calvin tan.
I am now looking for a TA sifu willing to take from me money to invest using technical analysis. Willing to put down rm500k-2m for someone with a portfolio personally grown using poorly technical analysis.

Dear all,
Do you know on 3rd Dec 2016, Mr. Koon had to swallow his pride and offer an open apology to Mr. KC Chong?
https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/koonyewyinblog/110867.jsp
Let’s find a solution - Koon Yew Yin
As you all know, Mr. KC Chong and I have a problem. I slept with the problem last night and when I woke up this morning, I found a solution in my hand. It is not a wet solution. It is a solid one that can really resolve our differences.
---------------
Moral: The attitude of negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th coin i.e. the common ground. Once we are able to find the common ground, the issue is resolved. It is difficult at times.
However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution.
I trust KC Chong will forgive me for all the bad things I said that caused the misunderstanding.
Thank you
P/S: The fortune and judgment of Mr. Koon change for the worst since quack accountant appear into his life. Wonder why?

Beginners who are not ready yet are being rush into share market by sifus, subscription services.............that is very bad. FA TA whatever A not enough to understand share market........I would say, for beginners, focus on quality is good advise.
Beginners need time and not rushed by sifus. They have no idea what they are getting themselves into.
2019-05-25 22:37
do u have no shame? can u block out all your mistakes and exaggerate all your successes??
if u can, then u qualify to be sifu, service providers, subscription provider.
2019-05-26 01:33
Hahahaha,
Quack accountant, after caught with your pants down with lies for so many times, I now wondering who are you? Can you be what you say, a small time trader with only few thousands in investment, two children and have not worked for 20 years and still happy and positive? Are you pretend to be a pig but eat tiger: 扮猪吃老虎? Are you an agent provocateur/sycophant or a black hand for pump and dump syndicate?
So my advice to everyone please avoid quack accountant like a plague
2019-05-26 09:37
a small time trader with three hundred thousand in investment, two grown children now working but I have not worked for > 20 years and still happy and positive?...factually correct.
2019-05-26 10:31
and why shouldn't I be happy and positive?.......only a few years ago , my 2 children just entering private universities and my portfolio size then is only $ 50,000.
2019-05-26 10:36
and whether I am quack/fake accountant or not is of no concern to anyone especially since I have not worked > 20 years already.....and not applying for any job.
2019-05-26 10:45
do u have no shame? can u block out all your mistakes and exaggerate all your successes??
if u can, then u qualify to be sifu, service providers, subscription provider.
and I do think these are fundamental irrevocable statements.........
2019-05-26 10:48
stock market..those who think they have mastered the stock market are soon humiliated.....but why some not humiliated one? Because thick skin and no shame, can block negative thoughts and exaggerate successes.

qqq3,
Want to attack people to seek recognition will not make yourself very great.
============
why great? I retired long long time ago.....greatness never entered my mind.
2019-05-26 10:56
It is so simple, if qqq3 is so good, you should have made million in stock market.
I really want to laugh at him, do not even have RM 100k to invest in stock market.
May be the capital is less than RM 100k now after losing so much on Jaks and Sendai. He sailang big on Jaks and Sendai when Jaks was at 1.70 and Sendai at around 1.00 respectively.
Please look at the price now, dropped > 50% to 70% from his buying price.
So sad for him.

Please do not commit suicide after this big loss.
Every problem still can find solution to it.
Please listen to my advice, please do not commit suicide.
I can talk to your boss to save you.
Please listen to my advice, please do not commit suicide ... I repeat ...
I stop here.
Enough is enough.
I do not have so thick skin like qqq3.

The comments actually show/reflect the maturity and security of the person. Be fair and kind to others...don't be jealous and have negative emotions as it will only harm yourselves. Participating in the stock market is suppose to give you more fun and happiness, not misery

for beginners, focus on quality is good advice..........
Just look at OTB shares, has OTB ever bought a single share that does not collapse soon after? So, what is the meaning and purpose of all the laughable analysis?

I recommend GCB at 1.70, what is the price now ?
=========
then stick to quality , its called compassion and enlightenment.....and professional also.....not to be greedy for performance, not to be side tracked by greed.
2019-05-26 15:53
Qualified and licensed advisers remain professional...problem is unlicenced advisers and bloggers and internet advisers got no professionalism.....remisiers worse..........remisiers give u an idea a day, how to be professional, how to have quality?
2019-05-26 15:56
stick to quality, easy to do but no business after that.....then how?
go back to the small caps lah, swing here swing there, no need professionalism.
no need compassion, no need enlightenment, just need thick skin and black heart.

Dear all,
My advice to all newcomers:
Study the quantitative part of FA
1. Financial data contain in current and past financial report.
a. Profit and loss statement
b. Balance sheet
c. Cash Flow
2. Then use TA base on qualitative part of FA
A. Economy condition. (Current and future)
B. Industry condition. (Current and future)
C. Company management. (Current and future)
With timing enter and exit base on TA chart (Human behavior pattern of Greed & Fear) and Economy condition, Industry condition, Company management condition.
You can follow Philip style buying quality (Slow and steady moving stock if economy and industry condition remain favorable) or fast moving stocks (with sound FA but also fast change on economy, industry and management condition) but never quack stocks base on snake oil medicine (hope)/manipulation with bad FA and Bad management (Ideal for pump and dump)
Thank you.
P/S: Can’t blame OTB if the share price collapses later due to sudden bad external economy and industry conditions. But if you are his subscribers most likely you have cut win/loss when TA trend or economy and industry condition turn unfavorable.

licensed brokers and their analysts got rules....unlicenced ones got no rules.
so....what is Bursa going to do? We wait and see lah.

U talk so much cock on FA but u r only a trader, why bother leh ??
Posted by qqq3 > May 26, 2019 5:42 PM | Report Abuse
lets talk FA and TA ala KC/OTB style.
FA first
first there is this thing called quality and non quality stuffs. Quality is some thing u know when u see it, especially for old hands.
What happens when u see the trees and not the forest? Good good quarterly reports....rear view drive no front view drive.
5 formulas for valuations, 10 indicators based on the Balance Sheet. Its not that these are bad tools, more relevant question is how reliable are these tools for forecasting?
All the 5 formulas 10 indicators come from same source...the audited accounts and quarterly reports....Its also garbage In Garbage Out. More formulas and more indicators does not equate more reliability.
Stock God? You can keep it. No one has yet invented an AI that can beat the market, even as AI can beat the best players in GO.
What is reality? Is there reality? Its just a moment to moment existence. Between existence and non existence, there is only the Middle Path. Between over/ under valuations, there are also the contrarians who choose to act differently.
Bottom line...those who think they have mastered it soon gets humiliated. Of course, if you are an image peddler, u will fight for your image at whatever the cost.
TA....this one even less need to be say. Its every man for himself.
So who is so thick skin to sell services as if they are stock God? Certain category of people and we all know what kind of people, don't we?

I was invited by Bursa chairman to meet her recently.
She was very impressed by my professionalism.
She was told that I did a good job to recommend good stocks to all my clients.
Most of my clients won big from my recommendations.
I told her that I issued a weekly report to let all my clients know about market outlook.
She told me to keep up the good work.
I did not tell any lies here.
Result will speak for itself.
