Mohamed Nizam Abdul Razak, the brother of Malaysia’s Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has been a long time shareholder of the company. He has been in Orion, or CWorks, from the early days of 2005.
Back then Nizam was a substantial shareholder, holding above 5%, before subsequently reducing the stake over the years.
When Orion’s 2016 annual report was released last year, Nizam held 4.45 million shares, or a 3.34% stake, in the company as of March 31, 2017.
Then as of Nov 15, 2017, Nizam now has 11.8 million shares, although that stake has been diluted to 2%.
The dilution could likely be due to a rights issue exercise undertaken by the company to raise some RM79.2mil early last year.
Orion’s corporate exercise consisted of a renounceable rights issue of 465.85 million new rights shares, together with 232.93 million warrants on the basis of seven rights shares for every two exiting Orion’s shares.
This came with one free warrant for every two rights shares subscribed. The rights shares were priced at 17 sen.
As for Orion’s shareholding changes, there have been plenty of movements in the last few months.
In October, Orion’s co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) Abdul Rani Achmed Abdullah ceased to be a substantial shareholder in the company, after disposing of a 6.34% indirect stake.
Orion non-executive director Yahya Razali has also been steadily reducing his stake in the company since October too. From a stake of some 24.38% in Oct, he now has some 12.2% as of Dec 22, 2017.
Another director, Adnan bin Zainol, has also been disposing his stake.
From a stake of 4.89% or 29.3 million shares, he has since been selling down his shares. On Dec 7, he sold 18.28 million shares via an off market transaction, leaving him almost with no more shares anymore.
Perhaps they were making way for new shareholders, one of whom is Orion’s new CEO, Mohd Shaharul Mohd Shariff (pic).
Another new shareholder appears to be ASM Mara Trust Management Bhd, which emerged with a 5.14% stake after it acquired 20.86 million shares on Oct 31, last year.
Orion is now the largest CMMS provider in Malaysia and its asset size will increase by RM78.3mil.
In terms of balance sheet, Orion is looking better, with cash of some RM5.5mil and no borrowings.
In addition, ASAP has an orderbook value of RM11mil, which is deliverable in the first year.
To date, Orion is the only listed CMMS company on the Ace Market of Bursa Malaysia. In an interview in July last year, Shaharul said the company was tendering for 20 projects, which have an estimated total contract value of RM11mil to RM15mil. It is also looking to establish a presence in Indonesia and Philippines.
