Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research is retaining its Buy call on

Scomi Energy Services with an unchanged target price of RM1.24 based on

unchanged 16 times CY15 earnings per share (EPS) of 7.75 sen a share.

It said on Thursday it is positive on the companys proposed renounceable

rights issue of up to RM141mil nominal value of five-year redeemable
convertible bonds fund.

The rights issue would be on the basis of RM6 in nominal value for every 100
existing shares.

We are positive on the fund raising through right issue of convertible bond.
This will help to strengthen Scomi Energys balance sheet with minimal
dilution effect in near term.

Besides funding for Ophir field, we believe the fund raised might also be
preparation for potential integrated project management (IPM) contract win in
the future, it said.

Right issue of PT Bumi Resources (BUMI)

Shareholders of Indonesias largest coal producer PT Bumi Resources (BUMI) have
approved the companys plan to raise up to Rs. 8 trillion (US$672.5 million) by offering its
rights shares to pay off its numerous debts.
The decision was achieved after the vote received a 56.30 percent quorum. Initially, the
threshold was set by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) at 75 percent, but due to there
not being a change in the statute, the attendance threshold was lowered to 66% of Share
holders.
The vote approving the rights shares issuance in an extraordinary shareholders meeting was
delayed by about five hours to 8 p.m. after the companys annual shareholders meeting,
which was scheduled at 2 p.m., resulting in a lower than expected attendance.
A 56.30 percent quorum was obtained during the meeting in favor of the rights issuance.
Around 32.2 million shares, or 55.7 percent of the companys enlarged stake, will be offered
at Rp 250 per share.
Bumi expects to offer the new shares in September, corporate secretary Dileep Srivastava
told reporters after the meeting. All of the proceeds will be used to pay the companys debts,
according to him.
Among the debts that the company needs to pay are the $150 million owed to the China
Investment Corporation (CIC) through Country Forest Limited (CFL), the $150 million owed
to Castleford Investment Holdings Ltd., and another $150 million that is part of the $375
million guaranteed convertible bonds.
Previously, the Bakrie family-owned company tried to secure approval from bondholders to
change the maturity of the $375 million convertible bonds, which are due on Aug. 5 this year,
or a month before the approved rights issue will be completed.
Bumi proposed to extend the maturity of the bonds to July 2021, lower the coupon rate to 7
percent from 9.25 percent and cut the conversion price to Rp 750, according to Bloomberg,
citing a memo to a creditor dated June 5. However, it failed to secure a quorum at the
bondholder meeting, which was held on June 20.

independent

commissioner Anton Setianto

Soedarsono evaluates

that the

approved rights issuance will likely improve the companys work performance by covering
up the debts that it owes.
The price of coal is also improving, and will also give a positive outlook for the future, he
said after the shareholders meetings at the Gran Melia Hotel in Jakarta.
M. Saladdin, one of Bumis shareholders who approved of the rights issue, said the
atmosphere inside the meeting was tense as several shareholders questioned the companys
decision to issue rights shares to solely cover its debts.
But I understand they have no other choice. The increased price of coal is also of concern,
Saladdin told The Jakarta Post on Monday evening.
Bumis majority shareholder Long Haul Holdings Limited will take new shares that are
unsubscribed to, equal to $150 million, and Castleford will absorb 6.9 billion new shares.
The $150 million from Long Haul will be used to pay part of the debts to CFL. The share
allocation to Castleford is for the conversion of the companys debt into shares, Bumi said in
its previous statement.
PT Danatama Makmur is serving as a standby buyer, which will absorb up to Rs. 2.04 billion
new shares.

HQC sets firms for private placement

Hoang Quan Consulting Trading Service Real Estate Corporation (HQC) announced it has
selected three strategic investors, all domestic construction companies, for a sale of 50
million shares.
HA NOI (VNS) Hoang Quan Consulting Trading Service Real Estate Corporation (HQC)
announced it has selected three strategic investors, all domestic construction companies, for a
sale of 50 million shares.
The property developer plans to issue 110 million shares to raise its charter capital to VND2
trillion (US$95 million) this year, of which 50 million will be offered to strategic investors in
a private placement at the face value of VND10,000 ($0.48) a share.
Bao Linh Housing Development & Construction Investment Joint Stock Company will be
offered 10 million shares, while both Indochina Real Estate Development Investment
Company Limited and Binh Thuan Construction and House Trading Joint Stock Company
will buy 20 million shares each.
The placement will be carried out in the next three months and HQC expects to raise
VND500 billion ($24 million) from this issue. As shares are issued at par value, transfer will
be restricted to one year.
In addition, the company will issue 30 million shares to its existing shareholders at the price
of VND10, 000 per share. Proceeds of these two issues will be put into four apartment
construction projects in HCM City.

HQC shares are being traded below par value. The shares hit the ceiling price yesterday at
VND7, 900 ($0.38) per share.
HQC posted a net profit of just VND6.5 billion ($308,000) in the first half of this year, only
half of the same period last year. This number is far below the yearly after-tax profit target of
VND150 billion ($7.1 million). VNS
HLIB Research said assuming conversion price of 75 sen and full conversion of the bonds,
the share base will be enlarged by 8% from 2.34 billion shares to 2.53 billion shares.
Gross gearing will fall from 0.7 times to 0.6 times. However, we believe the dilution will be
minimal or even offset as they are only convertible after second anniversary of the issue date
and potentially more integrated project contracts, it said.
