Kencana Petroleum has proposed to implement rights and bonus issues to raise financial assistance for its 25%-owned associate Mermaid Kenana Rig 1 Pte Ltd. The proposal will involve a renounceable rights issue of up to 369.07m rights shares at an issue price of 50 per right share on a two-for-five basis. This could raise up to RM185m, assuming all the remaining 17.5m employee share options are exercised. The proceeds are expected to be utilised within two years for capital expenditure, investment opportunities, business expansion, working capital and repayment of bank borrowings and expenses for the rights issue amounting to RM4.5m. Kencana has also proposed a bonus issue of up to 387.52m new shares on the basis of three-for-10. (Malaysian Reserve) We are negatively surprised by the cash call as Kencana's balance sheet is strong with net gearing of only 8%. Nonetheless, we note that this is a deeply discounted rights as the price of 50 sen is at a 78% discount to yesterday's closing price of RM2.27 and 72% discount to the ex-rights price of RM1.76. This means that effectively Kencana is doing a small cash call with a significant element of a bonus issue. Including the post rights 3-for-10 bonus issue, the share capital of the group could increase 83% to 1.68bn shares. The dilution impact on FY11/12 EPS is estimated at only around 6%. We will review our earnings estimates and recommendation pending further clarification from management about the rights and the prospects of the company. 

Source say Media Prima would likely revise upwards its offer price for NSTP while NSTP is expected to announce a special dividend. An announcement will be made today. The revise offer involves a change in the valuation of NSTP's business and the price revision will be reflected in the swap ratio which will no longer be 1-for-1. (StarBiz) This is a surprise development as MD/CEO Dato' Amrin Awaluddin recently indicated that there would be no chance of a higher offer. This turn of event would be positive for the progress of the NSTP privatisation deal and is likely to entice NSTP minorities to take up the offer. The potential special dividend payout by NSTP would be another positive surprise. Shares of Media Prima (MPB) and The New Straits Times Press (M) (NSTP) will remain suspended today, in anticipation of an announcement to revise the terms and conditions of MPB’s offer to take NSTP private.
