Any bros can help in this issue ?
Sound like we're allocated 400 shares per lot that we hold and buy them at $1.60 per share. Why would anyone wanna do that since the price of this stock now is lower than $1.60...
Hi all, what does this means ? thanks

moving upward last 1/2 hr ....something brewing???

ehh...closed at 1.71 siah! looks like this burger the odd one out among various OilMarine play siah !! even EZRA starts to move liao...hee
cheers !
Goldman Sachs expects market to view KS Energy's proposed rights issue negatively given major expected dilution. Notes proposed $1.60/share subscription price marks 15% discount to Jun 30 closing price of $1.89. Estimates company's post-rights net gearing to fall to 65% vs pre-rights' 191%. Estimates dilution to house's FY08-09 EPS estimates likely 22%, 18%, assuming company raises some $174 m and mainly repays debt, and all 109 m shares were issued at start of '08.
"While the dilution could be lowered by KS Energy investing in investments generating stronger returns, we estimate this would leave the group trading at '08E P/E of 14X using theoretical ex-rights price of $1.81." Notes risk rights issue may not be fully subscribed.
Looks like Greek to me
KS Energy Services fell on earnings dilution concerns following company's move to raise up to $174 m through rights issue. Investors can subscribe for 2 rights shares at $1.60 each for every 5 shares already held. Up to 109.4 m shares will be issued, raising funds for company to repay bank loans, finance equipment purchase. Firm shouldn't have difficulty getting demand as existing shareholders Pacific One Energy and its concerted parties have pledged to subscribe for shares, mopping up 88% of maximum issue. While exercise will strengthen group's balance sheet, investors will likely be wary of dilution impact.

this ":fund" raising exercise will reduce the gearing ratio for this burger to buy and deploy for oil production equipment to cater for future growth lah....then again...raising $$ at this tight credit env can be a challenge...so i guess not many investors will be too keen to buy into this growth story???
anyway...it's lowest is 1.53 or so..lower that the 1.60 right issue price..haha...mabe i will wait till then :P
cheers ! :)
as expected, now dropping 7% to 1.76... close to their right price of 1.60.. that's exactly 10% from 1.60... don't be surprised the price will lingering around 1.60 until the whole right issue subscription done.... would expect the price movement only after that... cheers...
