Handal Energy plans capital reduction, private placement and bonus warrants By Anis Hazim / theedgemalaysia.com 15 Sep 2023, 11:02 pm
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 15): Offshore crane services provider Handal Energy Bhd is planning to undertake a RM90 million capital reduction to eliminate its accumulated losses, followed by a private placement involving up to 40% of its issued shares to raise RM9.7 million to repay its borrowings and trade payables, and an issuance of bonus warrants.
The group’s accumulated losses as at June 30, 2023 stood at RM102.6 million at the company level, and RM68.1 million at the group level, which it plans to reduce to a loss of RM13.1 million (company level), and a retained profit of RM21.4 million (group level), following the capital reduction.
Its proposed placement, which could involve the issuance of up to 266.43 million shares to third-party investors to be identified, would be priced at a discount of at most 20% to the company's five-day volume weighted average market price of its shares immediately before the price fixing date.
It expects to fix the issue price of the placement shares, which could be issued by tranches, separately. Based on its illustrative issue price of 9.13 sen per placement share, Handal could raise as much as RM9.7 million from the exercise, of which RM9 million would be used to repay its trade payables and bank borrowings (RM4.5 million each).
The warrant issuance, meanwhile, will be undertaken after the private placement on the basis of one warrant for every two existing shares held on an entitlement date to be announced later. It expects to be issuing up to 186.7 million warrants. If fully exercised, the warrants could raise another RM22.41 million for the company, which is to be used as working capital.
The proposals, subject to approvals from Bursa Securities and Handal shareholders, are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2024.
Shares in Handal settled half sen or 4.35% lower at 11 sen on Friday, with a market capitalisation of RM29.34 million. The counter has fallen 26.67% year-to-date.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 29): Pelaburan MARA Bhd has denied claims of receiving any proposals from Handal Energy Bhd concerning an investment in redeemable non-convertible preference shares (RNCPS).
In a statement, Pelaburan MARA emphasised that no evaluation or confirmation regarding the RNCPS investment has been conducted.
"Pelaburan MARA will conduct rigorous evaluation and due diligence exercises pursuant to a formal proposal being made, in accordance with the procedures and to meet the regulatory requirements before making any investment decision," it added.
Pelaburan MARA said it would request Handal Energy to clarify the matter with all relevant parties to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Pelaburan MARA takes its reputation and the accuracy of reporting on its services seriously. We pledge to keep our stakeholders apprised of any significant developments in a clear and transparent manner," the statement read.
On Jan 18, Handal Energy, in a stock exchange filing, announced that its wholly owned unit Handal Floaters Sdn Bhd (HLFSB) had entered into a joint venture agreement with Hadid Oil and Gas LLP (HAG), establishing a limited liability partnership (LLP) for shared involvement in the early oil production field development programme, particularly Phase 1 of the Nipineftegas field development plan.
The agreement is subject to numerous conditions precedent, including the execution of an RNCPS agreement between HFLSB and Pelaburan MARA, with Pelaburan MARA subscribing to the RNCPS issued by HFLSB at an issue price to be determined later based on an issue size of US$5 million (RM23.64 million).
It also stated that the parties commit to obtaining necessary approvals and consent within three months, with the option to mutually extend for an additional three months if needed. If approvals are not secured within the stipulated time frame or any agreed extension, the agreement shall ipso facto cease, and neither party is entitled to claim costs, damages, compensation, or other claims, except for any antecedent breach.
kami duduk2 cerita tadi. terpikiaq juge lah. apasal handal engineering paid up share capital = 42 juta ringgit company mamat DS agri, paid up capital = 5 ribu ringgit beb!!
lepas tu, nak bagi share JV, handal dapat 51% dan DS agro dapat 49%
yang pelik, handal kena bayar 4.5 juta utk developmt cost, ttpi DS Agri bayar kosong.
Baguihhh jua biznes mcm ni. main atas angin, takya bayar satu sen, ttpi dapat 49%. nampak nye, lintah darat ni tak habis2 nak lanyak handal ni. memang handal!!🤣
cerita nak con-artist pakai nama mara tu dah diam2. kantoi, kan? 😁
Boy, this counter sucks. Did they appoint another perfume girl to the board ? Like the last one, with absolutely no experience of any kind. Had no time to check her out.
The scumbag director that ruined the company is now suing. What a story. I think that the biggest positive for handal was his departure. Now the fat ass is back as a claimant. Wow.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
