Credit Suisse and Pacific Alliance are holding 12.835% and 9.735% respectively or 22.56% in total. Their combined shareholdings are going to defeat the Proposed Acquisition for sure. Sell all your warrants now!
A YES decision will certainly help a local company grow and generate economic activity which is much needed and also help protect jobs. Though some may argue that they are pure investors with one end in mind i.e. to make money (perfectly ok!) and will not consider such factors. The choice is between quick profits (though some may have waited a while) versus investing long term and having faith in a local company to help realize better value for their invetment. I know emotions don't count. The fact is ClIQ and SONA are two different "animals". As I recall CLIQ did not even have a QA at near to expiry date. My 2 sens worth! and I hope it will be a YES for SONA's sake and patient investors !
This SPAC is promoted by CIMB Securities, and also advised by CIMB for this QA, if this QA failed, will it affect the standing of CIMB Securities for the future IPOs'!!?
Let us wait and see what the major shareholders want, Yes or No.
adf3103, good joke, trying to link the survival of Sona to CIMB. If like that, CIMB dead a long long time ago. MBB, PBB, HLB also long dead long time ago. Nonetheless a good laugh :-)
EGM at 10 am on 30 March. The approval or rejection of a QA does not in any way affect the standing of the investment bank sponsoring the listing of the SPAC. It is incumbent upon the promoters of the SPAC to present a QA that is acquired at a fair price, and deemed to be profitable in the long run. In other words, the promoters have to 'sell' the QA to the investing public.
PACIFIC ALLIANCE ASIA OPPORTUNITY FUND AND CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES LIMITED keep on Acquire Sona Shares. Expect the QA will be successful, maintain BUY.
We refer to the Company’s announcement dated 2 November 2015 and its circular to shareholders dated 8 March 2016 in relation to the Company’s proposed qualifying acquisition of 100% interest in the Stag Oilfield (“Proposed Acquisition”).
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Sona Petroleum (“Board”), CIMB Investment Bank Berhad wishes to announce that the Board has today received a proposal from the management team of the Company that it plans to implement a proposed capital repayment of up to RM80.0 million to the shareholders of Sona Petroleum, subject to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition.
The details of the Proposed Capital Repayment are set out in the attachment.
rohank71, please don't talk shit. There are investors here reading this stuff who have money at stake. Even if you are the co sec, you won't have this sort of info, for the simple fact that it is not available anywhere. So, please go play your games elsewhere!!
As at latest Bursa announcement, CS Group hold 180,918,100 shares or 12.825% ( of total 1410,714,100 shares) and PAG holdings Ltd hold 210,686,400 shares or 14.935%. Togetehr they hold 27.76% of the total shares. Since the maximum voting shares for the QA is 80%( management which hold 20% can not vote) it mean that CS & PAG will count for a min of 34.7%( 27.76/80) if all the 80% qualifying shares vote. So if they vote No that is it! QA will be dead!
If they intent to vote no and exercise their share repurchase they should stop buying more sona shares when they get close to 20% otherwise if they vote no it will be NO and they will not get what they(apparently set out to achieve)
The fact that they continue to buy more right until 17 Mar appear to imply that they are not going to vote No or not 100% of their shares will vote No. Indeed if they want to have the QA get through so they can get part of their shares repurchased, some of their shares must vote Yes.
Also, If CS and PA had indeed indicated they will vote No then there is no point for the latest ( today) capital repayment announcement. So it seems that CS and PA will be supportive of the QA hence the need to still encourage the minority at large to vote Yes or to reduce the No vote.
Above is just my thought and i have no additional info other than public domain information.
Actually sona has access of fund because QA is cheap ...so nothings suspicious about 80m cash payout proposal as it is a TQ for supporting the survival of the SPAC......
