KEY POINTS * OPEC and non-OPEC producers, a group often referred to as OPEC+, will meet in Vienna, Austria on Wednesday to decide on the next phase of production policy. * The oil cartel and its allies are considering an output cut of more than a million barrels per day, according to OPEC+ sources who spoke to Reuters. * "The OPEC ministers are not going to come to Austria for the first time in two years to do nothing. So there's going to be a cut of some historic kind," said Dan Pickering, CIO of Pickering Energy Partners.
"Hibiscus Petroleum Bhd* has proposed to undertake a RM800 million capital reduction to eliminate RM690.6 million in accumulated losses as of June 30, 2022. The exercise entails a reduction of the issued share capital of Hibiscus via the cancellation of the company's paid-up capital of RM966.01 million. Less the estimated expenses for the exercise of RM880,000, the remaining RM108.53 million will be credited to the retained earnings of the company, which will be used to facilitate a proposed share buy-back."
Can anyone explain what is the exercise above all about? What does it means to eliminate RM690.6 million in accumulated losses as of June 30, 2022?
Petronas has paid RM2.95b in SST to Sarawak Muhammed Ahmad Hamdan / theedgemarkets.com

Petronas has paid RM2.95b in SST to Sarawak -A+A KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 17): Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) has paid Sarawak RM2.95 billion in sales tax (SST) on petroleum products.
According to Bernama, Petronas chairman Datuk Ahmad Nizam Salleh presented a cheque for RM2,956,671,407.36 to Sarawak Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg at a ceremony at Wisma Bapa Malaysia in Kuching today.
Abang Johari Tun Openg said Petronas and its subsidiaries had fully settled the payments of State sales tax on petroleum products for 2019, as assessed by the Comptroller of State Sales Tax in accordance with the provisions of the Sarawak State Sales Tax Ordinance, 1998.
He said the amount paid by Petronas and its subsidiaries was without interest and penalties as Petronas had complied with the notices issued to it.
Petronas, in a statement, said it had paid Sarawak the SST on petroleum products for last year.
“The payment represents Petronas’ full and final settlement for the SST for the year 2019 and is evidence of Petronas’ commitment towards achieving commercial resolution,” Petronas said.
According to the national oil company, the payment for this year will be made upon assessments by the Sarawak comptroller of SST.
This, it noted, is a significant milestone following Petronas’ withdrawal of the appeal against the judicial review decision and also Sarawak’s withdrawal of the civil action on the Sarawak SST.
“Petronas is committed to work with the Sarawak State government in strengthening the Sarawak oil and gas (O&G) sector towards the creation of a stable and conducive business and investment environment for future growth,” it added.
It was reported yesterday that Sarawak’s endeavour to reclaim its rights on its O&G resources will reach a milestone today with Petronas finally handing over a cheque to the State government for the SST.
The matter was announced by Abang Johari.
In May, Petronas agreed to pay the full SST, amounting to RM2 billion, to Sarawak. The figure was 5% of the petroleum products’ sales value.
In news reports, Assistant Minister in the Chief Minister’s Department (Law, State-Federal Relations and Project Monitoring) Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Sayeed Aman Ghazali said the national oil company will pay over RM2 billion — after computing penalty and interest.
To NorazmiAR, improving Financial ratios is the most "noticeable" impact ~~ Of course, there are reasons behind this. Still, the public may not be informed because it may relate to the Company's plan for the future, forecast and etc. The number of shares in the stock market may also be reduced as well.
Congrats pak tua. Make money again. Overall happy with Hib management direction except the 1 sen dividend. Of course, Repsol acquisition still early. Hopefully will see more dividend in 2023. More dividends mean higher share price
Hibiscus finally has to pay RM85.7M SST tax to Sabah Govt although it does not consider oil as taxable goods. It's just a simple arrangement. If no payment, no work permits for your workers... your choice
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
