KUALA LUMPUR: KENCANA PETROLEUM BHD [] plans to raise RM350 million from a corporate exercise which includes the issuance of debt papers with detachable warrants.
Kencana said on Friday, Dec 3 it proposed to issue up to five years nominal value Islamic Securities with detachable warrants on a 'bought deal' basis with AmInvestment Bank as the primary subscriber.
AmInvestment Bank would then offer for sale the provisional rights to the allotment of the warrants to Kencana shareholders. Kencana also proposed to place out up to 10% of its paid-up share capital.
