The reason why bank do not lend money to PN17 company is because the normal route out of PN17 is debts restructure, capital reduction, share consolidation and then new capital injection.

Everyone required to take a hair cut to save the company.

Do you think CapA can exit PN17 by arm-twisting AAX to take over capA aviation at the expense of AAX survivability?

hi @sslee, does it mean, every holder of LA can surrender such LA to be converted to mother at zero cost?
The answer is yes.

You now know why Stony design the RI of RCUIDS with free warrants instead of RI of equity Right Issue shares with free warrants?

Stony and Kamar were using borrow money to subscribe for their RI entitlement and no bank will lend any money for borrowers to subsribe for a PN17 shares.

Issue Price and Conversion Price
The RCUIDS shall be issued at 100% of its nominal value of RM0.75 each. The Conversion Price is also fixed at RM0.75 each for every 1 new AAGB Share.

Since RCUID issue price and conversion price are fixed at RM0.75. Thus you can surrender your RCUID to be coverted to mother share anytime before maturity date.

Any uncoverted RCUID on maturuty date will be redeemed back at RM 0.75

Tony Fernandes literally loses his shirt! Isla Lipana red flags Air Asia Philippines after hemorrhaging P14B in last 2 years
BILYONARYO.COM
October 23, 2023
Things are getting turbulent in Tony Fernandes’ Air Asia Philippines (AirAsia) adventure as the budget carrier has taken a nosedive, racking up a jaw-dropping P14 billion in losses over the past two years.

Isla Lipana & Co., the auditing firm, isn’t pulling any punches and is openly questioning whether Fernandes can navigate AirAsia through financial storm clouds.

In the firm’s latest annual report, Isla Lipana said AirAsia’s massive losses -P7.9 billion in in 2022 and P6.4 billion in 2021 – which have pushed its capital deficiency to P39.9 billion or 60 times its original capital.

Beyond these losses, AirAsia is grappling with unpaid obligations to creditors and aircraft lessors.

As of 2022, AirAsia is mired in a liability quagmire, with P11 billion in dues and demandable payments and another P24 billion due within a year.

The airline’s struggle to meet its obligations predates the pandemic. In 2018, it failed to meet financial commitments related to a P1.78 billion loan from BDO Unibank. The carrier managed to postpone payments to BDO as well as restructure its lease contracts with aircraft suppliers.

Isla Lipana said these figures indicate that a “material uncertainty” exists on its ability to continue as a going concern.

Everyone will have their own story to tell.

I graduate in 1986 when Mahathir policy of bumiputra first had drove away all the Foreign investment and even local Chinese can't expand their business without giving away their equity.

I send in hundrend of letters just to try to get my first full time job. And luckily I got my first job in SAB in Kapar an oleo-chemical plant

That the start of my carrer. I got married in 1991. Bought my first house in 1996 that cost me RM 120,000. Then Asean financial crisis hit Malaysia and my house monthly installment cannot even cover the loan interest.

I was employed by Indonesia company to start an oleochemical plant in Medan in 2001.

I bought my second house a semi-D in setia eco park that cost me about a million. I only start to invest in Bursa when I have spare money.
The rest is history.

The actual number of Placement Shares to be issued will depend on the issue price of the Placement Shares to be determined later.

Merger of airlines alone enough to reverse all of Capital A's negative equity, says Fernandes

By Chester Tay & Adam Aziz | theedgemalaysia.com | 2024-04-26 14:39:42
KUALA LUMPUR (April 26): The corporate exercise to merge the AirAsia airline businesses under AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) is apparently sufficient to offset all of the RM8.7 billion negative equity in Capital A Bhd, according to chief executive officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes.

Both Capital A and AAX on Thursday unveiled a slew of related party transactions that will eventually see the consolidation of all airline businesses being housed under AAX in a RM6.8 billion share and debt settlement deal.

Using balance sheet numbers as at Dec 31, 2022 (FY2022), Capital A told Bursa Malaysia that this deal alone would give rise to a minimum positive equity of RM492.8 million.

“[Using FY2023 numbers] will be even better,” said Fernandes in a briefing on Friday, “because as I said, we are profitable. In FY2023 and FY2024, [Capital A's equity position is] also much stronger,” he told the audience here.

Capital A’s negative equity position has been the main reason it is being listed as a Practice Note 17 (PN17) company, a category typically meant for financially distressed listed issuers.

The divestment of AirAsia Aviation Group Ltd (AAAGL) is expected to give rise to a pro forma gain of RM4.69 billion to Capital A, while the disposal of AirAsia Bhd (AAB) would result in a gain of RM6.07 billion.

Newco acquire AAB for RM3.8 billion, to be satisfied by assuming RM3.8 billion of the RM3.83 billion worth of debt and at the same time take over AAB Net liabilities of as at 31 December 2022 2,351.75 million.

And suiyee sucker AAX/Newco RM 1.00 billion PP.
