Other players include AEON Credit Service (M) Bhd, Alipay Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Axiata Digital eCode Sdn Bhd, ManagePay Services Sdn Bhd, PayPal Pte Ltd, Touch ’n Go Sdn Bhd and XOX Com Sdn Bhd.
Five banks, namely AmBank (M) Bhd, Bank of China (M) Bhd, CIMB Bank Bhd, Malayan Banking Bhd and RHB Bank Bhd, have also received the green light from the central bank to become e-money issuers.
For perspective, there are two types of e-money schemes — the small scheme and the large scheme — which are determined by the purse size and the outstanding e-money liabilities.
PUC said in the Sept 7 announcement that it has obtained approval from Bank Negara to issue e-money under the large scheme, which refers to a maximum purse limit of RM1,500. In comparison, the small scheme only allows a maximum purse limit of RM200.
It is worth noting that PUC recently embarked on a few exclusive collaborations with some start-ups, paving the way for the company to build its e-wallet business.
Last month, PUC announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Founder Qube Sdn Bhd (FQ), has signed a memorandum of understanding with Hong Kong-based Advwhere Ltd for a collaboration, where FQ will be appointed with the exclusive right to sell Cloudbreakr digital advertisement placement solutions across Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
PUC is also teaming up with point-of-sale services provider Bersian Technology (M) Sdn Bhd to implement a cross-marketing collaboration.
In June, PUC signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Laputa Ventures Sdn Bhd to use the latter’s advertising platform, dubbed Moola, to offer on-vehicle advertising.
Variation to utilisation of proceeds
While PUC has obtained approval as an e-money issuer and identified its partners, it needs the funds to launch the service.
It has said RM36.45 million had been allocated for the rolling out of the e-money scheme.
Interestingly, the money will be coming from the RM42.65 million raised from a rights issue of irredeemable convertible unsecured loan stocks (ICULS) in February last year. PUC is in the process of obtaining clearance from the relevant regulators to vary the utilisation of the proceeds.
“PUC has submitted its request to Securities Commission Malaysia. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the company should be able to call an extraordinary general meeting as early as December to get shareholders’ approval,” says a source familiar with the company.
To recap, The Edge in April reported that PUC had net cash of RM43.3 million, RM42.65 million of which it cannot use for any purpose other than to expand its renewable energy business.
In October 2015, PUC proposed the issuance of ICULS with warrants to raise up to RM83.9 million, but only managed to get RM42.65 million to fund its solar expansion programme.
In February last year, Jack Cheong Chia Chieh, the chief of PUC, died of a sudden illness at the age of 44.
Market observers have pointed out that his brother and successor, Cheong Chia Chou, who was appointed the new managing director last December, is not keen on the renewable energy business that was started by the late Chia Chieh. Instead, he is more interested in developing the company’s IT business.
Under the feed-in-tariff programme, PUC currently operates a 1mw capacity solar photovoltaic power plant in Sungai Petani, Kedah. The output will be supplied to Tenaga Nasional Bhd at a fixed rate.
To date, however, PUC has yet to be awarded any new project despite efforts to apply for quota with the Sustainable Energy Development Authority of Malaysia and Energy Commission.
Year to date, shares of PUC have risen 223%. The stock closed at 21 sen last Thursday, giving the company a market capitalisation of RM284 million.
Always fry cold rice nothing else hot and juicy? For instance, director strike supreme jackpot ke or magnum first price 100 big 100 small la. Come on be creative lor
if you look at shareinvestor(have to pay to use), they will be having a EGM and SGM on the 21st of december 2017, big announcement might be coming up, good or bad news, we will not know till the annoucement is made
Can someone explain to me more on the repayment offer by PUC, are they telling us they will buy back the ICULS from us at 5sen each despite its trading price ?
The repayment offer is not a buy back. Is more of a requirement rather than a proposal to reward ICULS holders. They are forced to do the repayment offer, something like a Mandatory GO.
They have to offer those who do not agree in the revised usage of money raised by ICULs... but nobody is going to opt for that cause they will get back maybe 4 sen, instead of selling it at 16 sen now. Its a formality.
