KUALA LUMPUR: Destini Bhd is expected to finalise its acquisition of the entire stake in Samudra Oil Services Sdn Bhd by the second-quarter (2Q) of 2014.
Its group MD, Rozabil Abd Rahman, said completion of the acquisition is pending the approval of Samudra Oil’s shareholders. Destini has obtained its shareholders’ approval in its EGM yesterday.
“Samudra Oil will hold its EGM early next month. We hope everything goes well and they will obtain their shareholders’ approval soon,” he told reporters after Destini’s EGM in Kuala Lumpur, yesterday.
Destini is acquiring the entire issued and paid-up share capital of Samudra Oil from Kejuruteraan Samudra Timur Bhd (KSTB) for a purchase consideration of RM80 million.
The purchase represents a historical price-earnings multiple of 13.09 times for the 100% equity interest in Samudra Oil based on the profit after tax of Samudra Oil of RM6.11 million recorded in the latest audited financial statements for the financial year ended June 30, 2013.
The acquisition will be fully satisfied via the issuance of 228.57 million new ordinary shares in Destini at an issue price of 35 sen per Destini share.
Destini previously acquired 51% stake in Vanguard Composite Engineering Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based company involved in the manufacturing of lifeboats and a 100% stake in Techno Fibre Group in October 2013, which is involved in maintenance, repair and overhaul services for the marine sector.
The principal activities of Samudra Oil, which is a Petroliam Nasional Bhd-licensed company, include the provision of tubular handling equipment and running services. The company is directly in support of upstream oil and gas (O&G) drilling activities, particularly the exploration, development and workover activities.
“The services include bucking services, hammer services, provision of equipment and service as well as provision of onshore and offshore equipment, which caters to the upstream O&G production activities,” Destini said.
Rozabil said Destini plans to bring together its oil and gas, lifeboats and tubular handling equipment business and venture further overseas.
“The acquisition provides Destini with an opportunity to widen its product offerings and earnings in the O&G segment which represents a positive step forward to establish the company as an O&G services provider within the marine industry,” he said.
He said upon the completion of the acquisition, Destini expects to see a substantial contribution from Samudra Oil by end of the year.
He added that currently, Samudra Oil has contracts to continue to provide tubular handling equipment and running services to various production sharing contractors, for various primary contract periods ranging from two to five years.
These contracts are from MDC Oil & Gas Ltd, Talisman Malaysia Ltd, Petrofac (M) Ltd, Newfield Peninsula Malaysia Inc and Exxon-Mobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc.
Further to the announcements made by the Company on 3 April 2014, 2 May 2014, 2 June 2014, 1 July 2014 and 2 July 2014, the Board of Directors of KSTB wishes to announce that the Company is still in the midst of formulating its Regularisation Plan and the appropriate announcement(s) will be made as and when required.
KSTB has up to 2 April 2015, which is approximately eight (8) months from the date hereof, to submit its Regularisation Plan to the relevant authorities for approval.
With destini share going up...Samudra is having a huge paper gain... and shareholder will be rewarded. There is lesser seller. Volume is low because everyone waiting for the good news. Only some small players are selling. Better buy and keep.
Best Buy now!!! Grab it before too late...while stock last... cheap sale!! Samudra-WA is a value buy for cash rick company ...it sold off its business...it is not bankrupt...those who throw it will regret because when Samudra announce the re structural plan, the price will go up fast. A hidden GEM not known by many. Only existing shareholder will hold it waiting for the good news.
Smart people buying...it is good time to buy as tomorrow might go up... volume very little so the drop is not significant. Seller keep your share. Don't sell prematurely. You need to wait for the big reward. If you sell now you are making a loss.
where are all the jokers that posted the petronas' contract? haha made me a good laugh, if you guys have spare cash, should buy and hold this, because no downside, only upside
Good news!!! KSTB subsidiary Samudra Timur Sdn. Bhd. (“STSB”) forming a limited liability company in Myanmar. This must be part of the restructuring plan...slowly but surely KSTB will rise with vast amount of cash!!! Tomorrow bullish!!! Gap up!!!!
It sold its business to Destini but it was to settle some debts...and now it is holding cash..ready to go into new business... The forming of a limited liability company in Myanmar is part of the restructuring plan...to venture in O&G. I think more good news is coming. The share is waiting...you can see less seller...low volume...highly under-value now...good prospects..buy and keep and when it explode...too late to chase... Tomorrow should go up...this is the latest news...just came today! Be the first to take position...very undervalue company.
TP 30 cents...still cheap at 24.5 cents.. .:) Anyway no contra....have to wait for announcement by KSTB .. be patient... at most 6 months...for restructuring news...
Buying warrant will not entitled for the incoming dividend. Better prepared to convert or buying the mother. The exercise price is 30 sen, and the maturity date is 2018. Still a long way to go. Better accumulate now,
warrants are cheaper and less riskier. Many people invest in warrants not for the dividend but for the lower entry. Anyway it is good time to buy when the mother share is going up.
Ya...betul juga. AGM and div ex-date adalah satu-satunya mangkin kebangkitan Samudra. Apa salahnya kita semua ada masa boleh mengumpul banyak lagi sebelum ia naik.
Relax and have a kit kat. Just hold this share. Sooner or later it will move up with a clean balance sheet and a new business. Lets have confidence. Do not sell prematurely with a low price. You will regret later.
