Alam is NOT applying to exit PN17. If they wanted just to apply to exit, they would not submit a plan that we can now discuss. They will need years to implement the Plan.
Unfortunately, there will be billion shares available for 1.2 sen to pay off creditors. That will likely ruin the price.
Tomorrow we can see 155.3 million buy @ 3.5 sen disappear. Why ?
Because the shares will be available for 1.2 sen in the future.

I had a glance at the regularisation plan. New shares are issued to creditors at 0.028 MYR (before consolidation for ease). So based on my judgement those who paid 3 are screwed. There is a warrant though, so you may make some money on it in case price goes up.

I like it how Kenanga in today's write up maintains as risk to Armada: (i) further delay of first oil for Armada Sterling V.

Just my opinion about the whole project. Moving the CO2 from sky to underground does not change much. It is still CO2 and will reman such for millions of years. Sooner or later it will get out. So there is no point doing it.
Bumi Armada is barely capable of delivering one simple FPSO over years. No way they can successfully deliver a complicated and innovative project. Greedy Gary is not taking new projecs anyway. He turned down Camaia, Caspian Sea and other, sticking to visions and general woke declarations.

5 days of trading at ONE AND THE SAME price. There is only one type of buying that goes like this. Seems to me that left pocket is selling to the right one, with zero effect. Those who get drawn in will pay dearly.
Court approved meeting is one step before the wind up in case even minority creditors vote against, of even do not show up at the meeting.

Misc and Armada. It reminds me of Sapura merging with Kencana a few years ago. Also long wait for decision. And then successful merger.
Where are they now, by the way ? Sapura at 3.5 sens, down 99%. Hope enough of time for us to dispose of the shares.

So, the bottom line is:
1. Alam Maritim is NOT issuing any warrants. Borneo Oil is.
2. There is NO new contract or project for AM.
3. Creditor meeting is scheduled. If 25% of creditors do not agree to 'haircut of the debt' the company will be wound up and shares become worthless. Creditors will divide assets of the company between themselves.

This counter has a potential to deliver profit to all of us long in the game to greater extent than the darlings like Yinson, but it will likely take longer and be less profitable than we hoped for.

Earnings are NOT a factor for company in distress about to be delisted from bursa. They need any of below to prevent it:
• Settlement of debts with creditors
• Reduction of capital to cancel accumulated losses
• Onboarding of new investors (white knights) via issuance of new shares
• Sale of assets
• Issuance of free warrants and right shares to retain old investors
• Establishment of an Employees Share Scheme (ESS)

I believe that the syndicate will keep this counter at 4. They will collect more and then push it up to dump all they accummulated. This is not a new story.
Look at the amounts of shares that Amanahraya is dumping. Insiders have inside info ?

You can never extract all the gas.
Gas estimate subject to change.
Secondary, tertiary recovery is very expensive.
The customer base within pipeline boundary may be limited.
FLNG may cost 10 bln USD, so the process machinery alone may take production over several years.

Analyst Kong Ho Meng worked for OSK and then RHB. They sold me original Yinson investment 10 years ago. I remember they were against Armada because of ethnicity. At that time I was still naive and said I did not mind at all. Bought small portion. Now, without being racist I say OK to consider all options. I was once interviewed by chinese company that did NOT want any more chinese and wanted to be more open... so it works all ways.
But the Yinson investment worked out for me, for their credit.

This seems to be the usual way with BAB. When Kraken had HSP failure we had to get information from Enuest, even though the matter was immaterial for them. Any develpment that leads to change in management I approve, as they do not care about minority shareholders being informed.

Do not get too excited. I studied Roach Energy a bit. About 50% was bought at 20 sen per share while it was trading at 5. There was hope, but did not materialize. Plans to invest. However, the counter is now at 3 sen.
We better hope all of BAB gets bought. Misc is cash rich as I checked.

I share your frustration. We are excited about the price moves up and down, like today, but there is no project to discuss. And there has not been any for 8 years.
Even if they get one by some miracle, there will be 8 year gap in earnings growth in the future, so I see a lot of sense in your decision.

Last week action was weak indicating syndicate collecting for news release (?) and I anticipate a spurt. Also average chart signal crossess which are very bullish.
In any case, price target is RM 0.84 based on the latest crude oil futures.

Based on Bumi Armada lack of ability to execute, they should be taken over by Yinson. I remember when Yinson was a bus company in Johor (Logistics) and they bought one asset. At that time Armada was a big player. Now Armada has zero projects and Yinson is the star of the industry. Yinson could get a sukuk to take over Armada and shareholders would be better off.

Take it from a guy who spent 3 years in Kazakhstan, both offshore and onshore. All the projects I saw were failing as the locals were simply too corrupt even for Italians to handle them. And it takes a lot to outdo Italians in corruption.
They had good coffee though, I admit.

I want to say that as disappointed as I am with Bumi Armada, the management of R0ach Energy Berhad has the absolute world record in incompetence and mismanagement. Those guys are clowns of ignorance beyond belief. They have a company like hibiscus, but they crash it down to RM 0.03. In comparison, Greedy Gary is OK.

Come to think about it, R0ach may be a good investment. If someone wants to spend money with me, we can join other forum. Management has been changed recently. But Kazakhstan ...

This is a beautiful city. I stayed there for a few weeks. Hope that they prop Greedy Gary up before the meetings like they do for Biden before the debate. Those old 'fat cats' need a lot of maintenance, preferring to sleep on warm fireplace and eat ice cream. Greedy Gary is only 60++ years old, so maybe less senile and more vivacious than Biden.

Bumi Armada could NOT get a new contract even if a client slapped them across the face with it. That is what happened a year ago when Total asked them to develop Cameia, but Greedy Gary refused in order to pursue climate change and zero carbon initiatives by means of international conferences and luxury hotel junkets. So far he has zero new ESG achievement as well as he aims for carbon zero. Doing NOTHING to achieve ZERO. Carbon zero.

Todays price drop is an indication that perhaps Greedy Gary turned down contracts in the Caspian Sea for pipeline construction vessels (too much hard work) and decided to follow inclusive or green targets in the future by more woke declarations.

I bought some at 0.555, but not to push the market up. I just want to sell it and anounce here like all do that I sold off some of my position just as did all my fellow longs. Hopefully at miniscule profit.

The funny thing is I could NOT get a fill all day, then I finally bought it at 16:50 hrs in the after market / closing time. There was a huge selling wave at market. Also enormous wave of buy orders ... for the order book window dressing ?. I think it was meant to intimidate sellers (buys went from 4 to 8 mln).

I think there must be a reason while BAB have NOT secured a single contract in 8 years. I suspect that the Greedy Gary just does not want the risk and hassle of new project. Finds an excuse to reject it, or does not even put a real try to convince the client.
It is much easier to make vague plans of becoming green leader, or progressive by developing partnership with competitor or alternative service provider, rather than a partnership with a client. And that works for a while, until the old money runs out.

About this Genting / Wison projet. I know the company Wison. My former colleague who interviewed me for a job few years ago went there, and it was a posting to an unknown entity. Chinese job. Bumi Armada was a big player.
Now Wison gets contract and Bumi Armada has NOTHING anounces partnerships for green initiatives without any specific project.
