Hubline is not yet PN17 and not call warrant. Call warrant can expire worthless but not Hubline. Hubline still got a lot of ships they can sell for money.
PETALING JAYA: Shipping company Hubline Bhd will discontinue its container shipping operations and exit the industry by the end of the financial year ending Sept 30, 2015, a move which will see it become a Practice Note 17 company.
The successful execution of its exit from the business is estimated to see the group take a one off hit of RM350 million to its income statement for the financial year ending Sept 30, 2015.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, Hubline said the container shipping division contributes some 79% to revenue and is deemed a major portion of the group's overall shipping business.
"(The move to exit the container shipping industry will push the group into PN17 status) despite the fact that the container shipping division is also the 'major' contributor to the groups cost of operations.
Extension of Restraining Order under Section 176(10A) of the Companies Act, 1965 in relation to Hub Shipping Sdn. Bhd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of HUBLINE BERHAD
Unless otherwise stated, all definitions and terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as defined in the Company's announcements dated 18 February 2015 and 23 February 2015 in respect of the grant of the Restraining Order.
The Board of Directors of Hubline Berhad ("the Company" / "the Group") wishes to announce that the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak at Kuching had, on 15 May 2015, granted Hub Shipping Sdn. Bhd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, an extension of the Restraining Order under Section 176(10A) of the Companies Act, 1965 for a further period of 90 days and upon the conditions stated therein.
The Company is continuing to make good progress in its restructuring program since the announcement on 18 February 2015 that the Group will exit the container shipping industry. As a requisite to the success of planning and implementing the restructuring program, the extension of the Restraining Order for Hub Shipping Sdn. Bhd. is required to enable the Company to maintain focus on the winding down of the container shipping operations of the Group, ensuring that creditors of the Company related to the container division are dealt with efficiently, as well as to prevent potential litigations or proceedings which may adversely affect the restructuring currently undertaken by the Group.
The Restraining Order is not expected to have any material impact on the financial and operational matters of HUBLINE Group.

KUALA LUMPUR (May 29): Loss-making logistic firm Hubline Bhd — which in February announced it was exiting the container shipping business — has proposed a rights issue and a private placement that are expected to raise about RM93.99 million.
Its filing with Bursa Malaysia this evening showed the rights issue may raise about RM64.82 million, while the remainder RM29.17 will be raised via the private placement.
Hubline said the gross proceed of RM93.99 million was based on the assumption of 1 sen per share for both the rights issue and private placement.
Hubline said 51% or RM48 million of the proceeds raised will be used to repay debt, while 46% or RM43.65 million will be used as working capital; the remaining 3% or RM2.34 million will be channelled to corporate exercise expenses.
On the completion of the fund raising exercises, group total borrowings are expected to drop 21.3% to RM176.75 million, from RM224.7 million currently, it said.
On the rights issue, Hubline said it plans to issue 6.842 billion shares on the basis of two rights share for each existing share (2-for-1), together with 1.62 billion warrants on the basis of one warrant for every four rights shares (1-for-4).
Prior to the rights issue, Hubline plans to reduce the par value of its shares by cancelling 19 sen from the current 20 sen.
“The proposed par value reduction will give rise to a credit of approximately RM618.4 million, which will be utilised to offset accumulated losses. The remaining balance, if any, shall be credited to the capital reserves of the company,” Hublin said in the filing.
As at March 31, 2015, Hubline’s accumulated losses stood at RM576.61 million.
Subsequent to the rights issue, Hubline will offer up to 2.917 billion shares — equivalent to 30% of its enlarged issued and fully paid-up capital — for the proposed private placement to selected investors.
Hubline said it will fix the issue price at a discount of not more than 10% of its five-day volume weighted average price, or not lower than 1 sen per share.
The group expects to complete the corporate exercises by the first half of 2016.
To recap, Hubline had on Feb 18, announced its intention to exit the container shipping business by discontinuing its container shipping operations that were being carried out by its wholly-owned unit, Hub Shipping Sdn Bhd, and various other subsidiaries.
To-date, Hubline (fundamental: 0.2; valuation: 0.9) said it has incurred about RM353.72 million in exit cost, including impairments and losses that were booked in its latest results for the second quarter ended March 31, 2015 (2QFY15).
In a separate filing today, Hubline said its net loss in 2QFY15 has widened to RM369.33 million, from a net profit of RM2.01 million in 2QFY14, on a 51% plunge in revenue to RM44.996 million, from RM91.78 million previously.
For the cumulative six months ended March 31, 2015 (6MFY15), Hubline’s net loss expanded to RM375.19 million, from a net profit of RM5 million 6MFY14, on a 41% slump in revenue to RM108.87 million, from RM184.45 million previously.
Going forward, Hubline said its decision to exit the loss-making shipping division is expected to benefit the group in the medium to long term.
“With the winding down of the container shipping division, the anticipated costs to the income statement will result in the group incurring losses for FY15,” Hubline added.
The stock has fallen 63.64% from 5.5 sen on Sept 15, 2014, to close at 2 sen today, shrinking its market capitalisation to RM64.8 million.
