The extra-ordinarily high volume is due to the listing and quotation of the 5,450,000 new shares arising from the ESOS. Pretty sure the directors who owned big chunk of these ESOS shares have already distributed these shares in the open market
My prediction is correct in the sense that Kheesan need no cash but LONBIS. The heavy selling of Kheesan shares on Friday (almost 11m shares traded !) confirmed the disposal by the management to encash their shares as the money has been raised in Khessan through ESOS
Sad case for both Kheesan and LONBIS shareholders on the unruly behaviour of the management/substantial shareholders in treating the minority shareholders as stray dogs !
If it is above $1.00, the excess will be treated as shares premium and credited in the reserve account for future distribution either as a bonus or to mitigate losses through write off
If the ESOS was issued under $1.00, then the short fall from the par value and ESOS price will be treated as a deficit in the reserve account. In this case we'll see a erosion of the reserve account that ultimately reduce the chance of distribution through bonus issue
My guts feeling is that the ESOS was issued under the par value of $1 00, judging by Kheesan's highest traded volume in its history on yesterday 9/6 and at prices in the low 60s
If my fear is indeed the real scenario, then I must conclude that this board of directors ought to be sacked as they have no heart and consideration for the minority shareholders
Kannibu, do u think that the Bursa will allow the company to issue ESOS below par value at the expense of the minority shareholders? I think this is the first time I came across such thing. Sorry for my ignorance.
If you are an employee of Kheesan who is entitled to the ESOS shares, will you pay at the par value of $1.00 when the market price is only $0.60 a share?
This is precisely what is happening in this ESOS issuance. Bursa has no qualm as to how much and how many ESOS shares are issued at any given time, except that there is a rule governing the maximum ESOS shares that can be issued within a prescribed period.
Tq Kannibu for enlighten me on the ESOS matters.................the best thing for us to do is to avoid or stop supporting such companies. Don't u think so?
