UMW Holdings Bhd has proposed to list its oil and gas (O&G) unit, UMW Oil & Gas Corp Bhd (UMW-OG), on Bursa Malaysia's Main Market.
The proposed initial public offering (IPO) is for up to 843.18 million shares of 50 sen each in UMW-OG. A total of 611.8 million shares will be made available to retail and institutional investors. The institutional offering involves the offer of up to 648.6 million shares, representing 30% of the enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of UMW-OG. The price of the institutional offer will be determined by a book-building exercise.
Meanwhile, 194.58 million IPO shares will be made available for retail investors at a yet-to-be-determined price, representing 9% of the enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of UMW-OG.
UMW-OG is involved in the upstream sector of the O&G industry, providing offshore drilling and oilfield services, including engineering and maintenance services.
Prior to listing, the company will undertake an internal reorganisation exercise involving the transfer of the offshore drilling business and certain companies in the oilfield services division under UMW and its subsidiaries to UMW-OG.
The latter entered into sale and purchase agreements on May 14, 2013 in relation to the internal reorganisation. The listing of and quotation for its entire enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of RM1.081bil comprises 2.162 billion UMW-OG shares on Bursa's Main Market.
The proposed listing of UMW-OG is a key strategic initiative by UMW, which is expected to accelerate the growth of the O&G business within the UMW group and enable UMW to unlock and crystallise the value of its investment in the UMW-OG group and enhance the shareholders' value at UMW level, said UMW president and group chief executive officer Datuk Syed Hisham Syed Wazir in a statement. The proceeds from the IPO will assist it in reducing its existing borrowings.
Maybank Investment Bank Bhd and CIMB Investment Bank Bhd have been appointed as the joint-principal advisers to UMW and UMW-OG for the proposals.
UMW expects the proposals to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2013.
Bamboo flooring manufacturer Kanger International Bhd is set to be the 10th China-based company to be listed on Bursa Malaysia.

The IPO entails 22 million new shares for the public, and 58 million new shares to be allocated to selected investors via a private placement.
The company specialises in the manufacturing and trading of bamboo flooring and related products for the residential and commercial markets under its brands Kanger and KAR Masterpiece, as well as acting as an original equipment manufacturer at the request of customers.
Financially, the company has been on a growth trajectory over the past three years, with its financial year ended Dec 31, 2012 (FY12) seeing it recording a net profit of RM6.36mil on a revenue of RM38.5mil, compared to a net profit of RM3.07mil on a revenue of RM23.41mil in FY11. In FY10, meanwhile, the company posted a net profit of RM969,000 on a revenue of RM14.83mil.
Kanger intends to use 34.09% of its IPO proceeds as working capital, 22.73% as research and development expenditure and 11.36% as capital expenditure, with the rest – 31.82% – being utilised immediately upon listing for listing expenses.
Its chairman is Datuk Paduka Sharipah Hishmah Sayed Hassan, a member of the Perlis royalty, who runs several businesses, including the La Cucur food outlet. She will own a 3.93% indirect stake in the company post-IPO.
She is also the sister-in-law of the Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail, another shareholder of the company, and her son, Syed Hazrain Syed Razlan Jamalullail, is also a director in the company.
