The fact that they announced the cash repayment of 7sen is to satisfy CS and PA. The yield return both funds for this year settled already. That was a brilliant move to get their approval for the QA.
Dear all, we would like to share our statement on the proposed capital repayment exercise as below. Do let us know if you have any questions:
SONA ANNOUNCES RM80 MILLION CAPITAL REPAYMENT
Kuala Lumpur, 25 March 2016 - Sona Petroleum Berhad (“Sona”) today announced a planned capital repayment exercise of up to RM80 million to shareholders, subject to among others, the completion of its planned qualifying acquisition (“QA”) of the Stag Oilfield as announced earlier. Shareholders entitled to the capital repayment will be determined after completion of the QA and will exclude Sona’s management team and shareholders who participate in the Share Repurchase and vote against the QA at Sona’s forthcoming EGM, which will take place on 30 March 2016.
Up to RM80 million, less any payment for the Share Repurchase made to the dissenting shareholders who vote against the QA, will be distributed. Actual distribution amount may vary depending on the number of dissenting shareholders and the amount that Sona has to pay these shareholders under the Share Repurchase.
In the event there is no dissenting shareholder, the illustrative distribution amount per share is about 7.1 sen. The capital repayment exercise will not be carried out in the event that the amount payable under the Share Repurchase to the dissenting shareholders exceeds RM60 million.
“We see this exercise as a demonstration of our confidence in the strong business case of our QA, and as a way of giving back to long-term shareholders that have shown their confidence in Sona after the completion of our QA,” said Dato’ Sri Hadian bin Hashim, Managing Director of Sona. “The management of Sona has proactively and transparently communicated the business case of our intended acquisition (of Stag Oilfield) and has willingly addressed concerns from media, analysts and shareholders while balancing regulatory requirements on disclosure. We have chosen to acquire Stag Oilfield as it is earnings accretive with decent potential upside . We have full faith that shareholders seeking greater value, and the chance to own equity in an upstream oil and gas listed entity, will approve the intended acquisition during our EGM.”
The cash distribution of the capital repayment exercise will come from Sona’s trust account after taking into consideration Sona’s working capital requirements and the 80% utilisation of the cash trust account for the purposes of the QA (as set out in the Circular).
DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED CAPITAL REPAYMENT The Proposed Capital Repayment will involve a capital repayment of up to RM80.0 million, less such amounts to be paid for the repurchase of Sona Petroleum Shares from the dissenting shareholders who vote against the Proposed Acquisition (“Share Repurchase”) (“Distribution Amount”). Accordingly, the actual Distribution Amount will vary in accordance with the number dissenting shareholders and the amount that the Company has to pay under the Share Repurchase. The Distribution Amount will be made from the remaining monies in the Company’s cash trust account, after taking into consideration the Company’s working capital requirements and the 80% utilisation of the cash trust account for the purposes of the Proposed Acquisition (as set out in the Circular). The Proposed Capital Repayment shall be subject to the total payment for the Share Repurchase not exceeding RM60.0 million. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the total payment for Share Repurchase exceeds RM60.0 million, the Proposed Capital Repayment will not be implemented.
Hi guys . I heard sona going capital repayment ? Can I know capital repayment is a good news or bad news . And will it effect par value or shares quantity ? Please help . I newbie
Raider say read carefully loh....!! If repayment to dissenting shareholder exceed Rm 60 million...nothing payable to the supporting Sona shareholder, even the QA is successful mah....!!
Question Why should repayment to supporting Sona QA shareholder subject to rhe outcome of dissenting shareholder cash purchase ?
Would it not cash payment...is an appreciation of management for the kind support of Sona shareholder...resulting in successful QA ?
If that is the case....then why the outcome of cash payment to supporting shareholder be uncertain...even there is a successful outcome leh ??
Dear all, NTA after completion of QA will be 0.38. Thats why management try to convince shareholder by return 7 sen of capital. For warrant holder, please think twice before too late to release your share. Exercise price is 0.35, if mother share adjusted to NTA value 0.38, how do you think at existing warrant price, is overvalue not undervalue. Beware all
Dong dong reasoning. Warrants expiring in Jul 29, 2018. By then oil price will be up up . Sona price up up. Warrant price much higher then. Now can buy small small - limited low risk, 10 times profit. Somebody trying to collect warrants...wakakaka
stockraider...yr comments r not worth a cents i suppose.Any investor will see this as a very good deal and there has nvr been a better deal like this b4...ony fools will say no to it..and look at the potential of the co in future too..a clean balance sheet with no debts and posible supar upside...a YES vote is a MUST..hope all shareholders will nvr let this onnce in a lifetime opportunity slip by..A YESSSSS VOTE INDEED...
Just another 3-4 days, and will know the answer. Whether successful anot, normally big shareholder to decide(Corporations/Institutions/Individual) and I do believe those who bought Sona shares(Public small holders) will likely vote YES, as this is really a great deal, future gain is bright for crude oil. Public will normally follow the footstep of Big shareholders in voting. I believe non big holders is in forum here. So, those who said No for QA is likely "they are not holding any Sona Shares and just feel free to give a NO with their own sort of reason". To those truly holding Sona shares, let us vote YES together.
Very sorry for the NAYSAYERS WHO MADE COMMENTS WITHOUT HOLDING ANY SONA STOCK. LOL
THERE IS NO NEED TO INSULT THE INTELLIGENCE OF STOCKHOLDERS WHO SUPPORT THE QA
GOOD TRY, PLS TRY HARDER NEXT TIME AT DIFFERENT COUNTERS... REACH? RED SENA?... PROBABLY YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL AT REACH, I AM QUITE CERTAIN ABOUT THAT...
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....
