Sapura Energy to tweak plan for separate listing of E&P division
14 Mar 2018 7:00 AM
BY IZWAN IDRIS

“The company has not given up on the plan to list the E&P unit on Bursa Malaysia,” a source told StarBiz. It is believed that Sapura Energy is seeking a valuation of around RM7bil for its E&P division.
PETALING JAYA: Integrated oil and gas (O&G) company Sapura Energy Bhd will have to tweak its plan for a separate listing of its exploration and production (E&P) division on Bursa Malaysia after an earlier proposal was shot down by market regulators.

Sources said the company is likely to seek a lower valuation for the unit, and rework the structure for its proposed initial public offering to comply with the chain listing requirements for listed companies.

KUALA LUMPUR: Construction of the Paragon@KL Northgate shopping centre in Selayang, which has a gross development value is RM3.6bil, is expected to be completed within three years starting the fourth quarter of 2017.

A joint statement among the parties involved said Anzo Holdings Bhd’s unit Harvest Court Construction Sdn Bhd would join forces with Hong Kong- and Shanghai-listed China Metallurgical Group Corp’s (MCC Group) subsidiary MCC Overseas (M) Sdn Bhd as the main contractors for the construction of the project along Jalan Kuching.

KL Northgate Sdn Bhd, the developer of the Paragon@KL Northgate mixed development, has issued a letter of intent (LOI) inviting Harvest Court Construction to jointly undertake the construction and part of the conditions is that Anzo must cooperate with MCC Overseas.

Last week Anzo announced the receipt of the letter of intent to Bursa Malaysia, saying that the contract work would amount to a maximum of RM1.21bil.

MCC Group is China’s leading multidisciplinary and multinational company under the direct supervision of China’s State Asset supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). It is China’s pioneer in the iron and steel industries, and it has since grown into one of the world’s largest metallurgical companies.

MCC Group was one of the earliest Chinese enterprises to enter Malaysia, setting up MCC Overseas in 1992 with the mission to serve Malaysia with cutting edge technologies and services from China.

Paragon @KL Northgate is a part of an 18-acre mixed-use development with high-rise towers with a total gross floor area of 3.9 million sq ft.

The entire mixed development, whose construction is expected to be completed in six years (starting Q4 2017), includes the five-storey shopping mall with gross floor area of 1.8 million sq ft and a one-storey basement carpark as well as four storeys of podium carpark, 54 units of 3½- & 4½-storey shop offices, a block of 31-storey residence tower (400 units). a block of 27-storey hotel tower (316 rooms), one block of 30 storey hotel tower (500 rooms), one block of 37 storeys service suites (350 units), ballroom & hologram hall, cinema, ice-skating rink, virtual reality game park, indoor water theme park and hot spring recreation park.

Negotiations following the letter of intent are underway. In its Bursa announcement last week, Anzo said the time frame for finalisation of contract document and final contract pricing was estimated to be within three months.

PETALING JAYA: After two failed merger attempts, Malaysia Building Society Bhd (MBSB) is rumoured to be in merger and acquisition talks again, this time with Asian Finance Bank Bhd (AFB), sources say.

AFB is one of the three stand-alone Middle Eastern-based Islamic banks operating in Malaysia.

“There is interest and parties from both sides are said to be waiting for the central bank’s green light to begin negotiations officially,” said a banking source.

“However, the challenge would be meeting the demands of AFB’s diverse shareholders,” noted a banker.

It is known in banking circles that some of AFB’s shareholders are looking to exit and the bank was reportedly in talks for their stakes to be acquired by Malaysian Industrial Development Finance Bhd earlier this year. But the corporate exercise did not materialise, according to banking sources.

AFB is backed by a consortium of shareholders, namely, Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) with the largest stake at 66.67%, followed by Saudi Arabia’s RUSD Investment Bank (16.67%), Yemen’s Tadhamon International Islamic Bank (10%) and Financial Assets Bahrain WLL (6.67%).

Notably, the bank has not appointed a chief executive officer since the retirement of its previous head honcho Datuk Mohamed Azahari Mohamed Kamil in January this year based on its website – signalling a “transitory period” that could lead to the likelihood of changes in shareholding at the bank.

The bank is currently managed by an Interim Management Committee, which is chaired by treasurer Azidy Daud.

With a capital base of RM532.5mil and assets totalling RM2.62bil, it is the smallest Middle Eastern bank in the country after Kuwait Finance House (M) Bhd and Saudi Arabia’s Al Rajhi Banking & Investment Corp (M) Bhd. AFB has two branches, one in Kuala Lumpur and the other in Johor Baru.

It was mostly loss-making since 2007 before turning around in financial year 2013 after switching its business model to the more stable corporate funding as opposed to small- and medium-sized enterprises previously. The bank made a net profit of RM1.54mil for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

The future of Middle Eastern banks in the country has come into focus in recent years because of their paltry returns as fierce competition erodes margins.

In 2014, StarBiz had reported that Qatar-based QIB was looking to divest its strategic stake in AFB. QIB was first linked to the talk that it was seeking to exit a few years ago when Bank Negara mooted the development of a mega-Islamic bank. AFB was said to be a likely candidate for the licence, but that idea did not take off.

MBSB, meanwhile, has been trying to transform into an Islamic bank in one way or another to increase its competitiveness.

In February this year, the non-bank lender aborted its proposed merger with Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd, reportedly due to disagreements over valuation and control.

Prior to that, MBSB was part of a failed three-way merger with CIMB Group Holdings Bhd and RHB Capital Bhd that was called off in January last year amid falling oil prices.

Without a merger partner, the company can still grow on its own, albeit at a slower pace.

MBSB’s single-largest shareholder is the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) with a 65.4% stake.

EPF chief executive officer Datuk Shahril Ridza Ridzuan recently said that the non-bank financial provider was working with Bank Negara to revamp to bring it up to bank standards and was looking at a solution towards entering the mainstream market.

The fund injected RM1.3bil into the company to subscribe to its portion of the company’s rights issue in March to raise up to RM2bil to strengthen its core capital and increase its leverage ratio to at least 12.5%, in compliance with regulatory requirements hoping to secure a banking licence in the next two or three years.

The other substantial shareholder in the company is Tan Sri Chua Ma Yu, whose stake is now 8.97% from 6.06% through subscription of the rights issue.

The seasoned investor emerged as a substantial shareholder in MBSB in March this year.

MBSB, which has assets totalling RM42.57bil, has a strategic focus to increase its corporate loans/financing segment.

In the second quarter ended June 30, it posted a lower net profit of RM63mil, down 26.3% from a year ago due to a higher allowance for impairment losses on loans, advances and financing.

Corporate loans accounted for 16.9% of total loans as at that period, while personal financing was at 66.2% of its loan book and mortgage financing at 15.7%.

Its shares are down 32.91% year-to-date. The stock ended yesterday at 91.5 sen, up 15 sen with 3.58 million shares being done. At this level, it is trading at a price-to-book value of 0.53 times.

Press Metal Berhad - Share Split and Bonus Issue
Author: kiasutrader | Publish date: Tue, 12 Jul 2016, 10:06 AM

Press Metal Berhad (PMETAL) has proposed to undertake: (i) 1:2 share split, (ii) bonus issue of 2 for 5 subdivided shares, and (iii) an internal reorganization into an investment holding company. We are positive on the proposal as it improves share liquidity while the reorganization will further streamline operating segments and taxation structure. Maintain earnings and OUTPERFORM call, while we upgrade our TP to RM4.21 (from RM3.65) on expected post-expansion re-rating.

Split and bonus. PMETAL has announced the following proposals:

(i) Share split involving the subdivision of every 1 ordinary share of RM0.50 each into 2 ordinary shares of RM0.25 each (subdivided shares).

(ii) Bonus issue of up to 1.15m new bonus shares on the basis of 2 bonus shares for every 5 subdivided shares.

(iii) Proposed increase in authorised share capital from RM1.0b comprising 2.0b PMETAL shares to RM2.0b comprising 8.0b subdivided shares.

(iv) Amendments to Memorandum and Articles of Association to facilitate the proposals.

(v) Proposed internal reorganization via share exchange of all subdivided shares and warrants into a new investment holding company (Newco) on the basis of 1 Newco share for every 1 subdivided share and 1 Newco warrant for every 1 existing PMETAL warrant and proposed transfer of listing to Newco shares and warrants.

Adding liquidity. We are positive on the proposed share split and bonus as we concur with management that the move should improve the liquidity of PMETAL shares and reward existing shareholders whilst maintaining their equity interest. We are also optimistic on the proposed reorganization into an investment holding company as this should provide more flexibility in its operating segments, reduce legal/creditor risk, and streamline its tax structure.

Maintain FY16-17E CNP at RM343-457m as the proposals have no earnings impact.

Maintain OUTPERFORM with higher TP of RM4.21 (ex-split/bonus TP: RM1.50). We reiterate our OUTPERFORM call as we believe PMETAL shares are likely to continue re-rating in view of its latest capacity expansion (Samalaju Phase 3) which raises FY17E total smelting capacity by 27% to 760k MT/year. As a result, we raise our TP to RM4.21 (exsplit/ bonus TP: RM1.50) from RM3.65, based on a higher Fwd. PER of 12.7x (from 11.0x) applied to unchanged FY17E FD EPS of 33.2 sen (exsplit/ bonus: 11.8 sen). Our Fwd. PER of 12.7x is derived from FY17E capacity growth of 27% added to PMETAL’s historical implied PER of 10.0x, after excluding previous years’ capacity growth. The Fwd. PER of 12.7x implies a lower discount of 13% against the FBM70’s Fwd. PER of 14.6x (previous discount: 21%), which we think is fair due to PMETAL’s rerating potential.

The Meaning of Share Buybacks
A stock buyback, also known as a "share repurchase", is a company's buying back its shares from the marketplace. You can think of a buyback as a company investing in itself, or using its cash to buy its own shares. The idea is simple: because a company can't act as its own shareholder, repurchased shares are absorbed by the company, and the number of outstanding shares on the market is reduced. When this happens, the relative ownership stake of each investor increases because there are fewer shares, or claims, on the earnings of the company.

Typically, buybacks are carried out in one of two ways:

1. Tender Offer
Shareholders may be presented with a tender offer by the company to submit, or tender, a portion or all of their shares within a certain time frame. The tender offer will stipulate both the number of shares the company is looking to repurchase and the price range they are willing to pay (almost always at a premium to the market price). When investors take up the offer, they will state the number of shares they want to tender along with the price they are willing to accept. Once the company has received all of the offers, it will find the right mix to buy the shares at the lowest cost.

2. Open Market
The second alternative a company has is to buy shares on the open market, just like an individual investor would, at the market price. It is important to note, however, that when a company announces a buyback it is usually perceived by the market as a positive thing, which often causes the share price to shoot up

OCR expects turnaround by next year
By TEE LIN SAY linsay@thestar.com.my

19 September 2016

With construction and property projects worth RM1bil in hand, O&C Resources Bhd (OCR) managing director Billy Ong Kah Hoe believes the worst is over for the company,
Formerly a condom-maker known as Takaso Resources Bhd, the company had seen its share price taking a beating, as investors sentiment turned sour on property stocks.
“This year has been about putting our house in order. We have been working hard to secure projects. I believe that by next year, with what we have now, we can see a turnaround in the earnings,” said Ong.
Ong planned to launch OCR’s maiden project by the end of this year.
This comprised a block of service apartments in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, some 700m from the Petronas Twin Towers.
The project has a gross development value (GDV) of RM200mil, and will be priced around RM1,400 to RM1,600 per sq ft.
“While it’s true that the property market is still soft, we are seeing small signs of improvement. Furthermore, if we can launch at competitive pricing, I am confident we can garner a decent take-up rate,” said Ong.
OCR’s stock price had underperformed, as investors expect to see earnings improvements.
Down 24% on a year-to-date basis, and at its current price of 38 sen, OCR is now a small cap as its market capitalisation is RM90.4mil.
While OCR has diversified into property development, it still maintains Takaso’s old business of manufacturing rubber and baby products.
It also trades in baby apparel, infant milk, toiletries, recycling, as well as general, electrical and mechanical products.
Ong came on board the company late last year after the mid-sized developer OCR Land Holdings Sdn Bhd acquired a 13.81% stake in Takaso.
He owns a 6.77% stake in OCR.
OCR Land and Ong control some 19.9% of the company.
Ong’s confidence in the turnaround of OCR stemmed from a project management consultancy project it secured last week.
On Sept 8, OCR’s 70% equity subsidiary, Pangkal Teguh Sdn Bhd (PTSB), received a letter of award for its appointment as project management consultant (PMC) from Yayasan Pahang for an affordable housing development scheme in Pahang which consist of 25,000 units of residential properties.
Spanning over seven years, the value for the PMC award is at average of 4.8% of the GDV of the project.
OCR said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia that the total estimated profit attributable to OCR from the PMC was RM91mil over the seven-year construction period.
This contract is expected to start contributing from the financial year ending July 31, 2017.
PMC contracts are said to carry decent profit margins.
“We have been working on getting this contract for the last 12 months.
“We are grateful for the working relationship we have with the Pahang state government all this while,” said Ong.
He said that OCR had stationed some of its people in Pahang and work had begun.
For the PMC contract, the fees are charged RM5,500 for each property selling at the price of RM120,000 and below and RM8,000 for each property selling at the prices between RM120,000 and RM150,000.
This project is significant to OCR, considering that it is still in the red as of the third quarter to April 30.
For the period, the company recorded losses of RM1.3mil on the back of revenue of RM8.6mil.
For the nine-month period, the company is in the red with losses of RM732,000 on the back of RM28.67mil in revenue.
Adding traction was another PR1MA project which OCR had secured in August.
On Aug 2, OCR announced that its 70% equity subsidiary, Kita Mampan Sdn Bhd, through its associate company, AES Builders Sdn Bhd, had entered into a master en-bloc purchase agreement with PR1MA and Mampan ESA (Malacca) Sdn Bhd to build and develop PR1MA @ Sri Gading at Alor Gajah, Malacca, comprising of 554 residential units with five apartment blocks of 11 storeys each and one apartment block of 12 storeys at a total contract value of RM101.08mil.
OCR has an effective 34.3% stake in AES Builders. AES will be the main contractor of the project to be completed within 36 months from commencement.
The gross development cost of the project for AES is RM83mil, out of which OCR’s profit entitlement based on its stake in AES is RM6.174mil.
