Globaltec said in a stock exchange filing that the proposed placement will see the dilution of its direct and effect interest in NuEnergy, which will subsequently cease to be a subsidiary of the group.
At present, NuEnergy's audited consolidated total assets of RM118.5mil comprise 32% of the latest audited total assets of Globaltec as at June 30, 2018, making it a principal subsidiary.
Upon completion of the proposed share placement, the group's direct and effective interest in NuEnergy will be reduced from 64.7% and 51.7% to 31.7% and 25.4% respectively.
\"Although the Proposed NuEnergy Placement will result in a dilution of more than 25% shareholding in the principal subsidiary, the Board of Directors of GFB is of the opinion that the Proposed NuEnergy Placement will enable fresh new funds into the Energy segment of the Group and will facilitate and expedite the development and commercialisation of the unconventional gas production of the Energy segment and thus enabling, realising and expediting future income accretion to the Group,\" said the group.
The proceeds from the proposed placement will be directed towards fulfilling the work and firm commitments of the South Sumatra production sharing contracts and executing the plan of development for the Tanjung Enim PSC.
The proposed placement is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Globaltec and NuEnergy.
In FY18, NuEnergy recorded a loss before tax of A$13.5mil due to higher impairment losses on exploration and evaluation assets of A$11.4mil.
