Ezra Holdings

[Some-one]

Jelek, Ezra really desperate with deeply discounted rights offer:

I hope that the resolution on the issuing of rights issue would be rejected during the EGM...

[CityFarmer]

Ezra shareholders approved the financing proposal. It might cost shareholders a bomb, with the huge dilution, with the heavily discounted issues.

The global O&G downturn is very severe...

Not many offshore plays on SGX will survive this time round.

Ezra will be one of the first that will go belly up despite this round of capital raising as I viewed it as a stop gap measure to keep financiers outside their doors.

I personally think that swiber will be next in line.

The days when Keppel Fels operating with no order books like in the late 80s through to Y2K may well return after Kep Corp winds off their outstanding order books.

Caveat Emptor
Odd Lots Vested

Not Interested In Rights Issue

Like Swing Media it has been 'sucking' in cash.....

Noted the last quarter and 9 mths period are big improvements to previous comparable periods and cash and cash equivalents have actually increased when looking at their cash flows statement

Fragrance attempted to buy but somehow fell thru. So if the bldg remains in the hands of Ezra family... it is certainly indicative of their financial situation...

Very little logic here... mgt to form a JV worth $1.25bn, raised S$200m from rights still asking for changes to certain requirements on its Bonds...

Skeletons coming for sure...

Ezra Holdings Ltd., which successfully raised S$200 million from a rights offering in July, is asking noteholders to change certain requirements on its bonds after it agreed a $1.25 billion subsea services joint venture with Chiyoda Corp. 

The venture “will be better positioned to capitalize on market opportunities as well as manage risks arising from fluctuating market conditions,” an Ezra spokesperson said Monday.
