Noble appoints Provenance Capital as independent financial adviser

Its opinion will be included in the shareholders circular for the restructuring.

Noble Group has assigned Provenance Capital as its independent financial adviser (IFA) that will provide an opinion on whether its planned restructuring is fair to shareholders or not.

According to an announcement, the IFA will also determine whether the allocation of shares in the post-restructuring company or the Topco will be fair to the shareholders, management, and senior creditors.

"The IFA Opinion will be included in the shareholders circular in relation to the proposed restructuring," the company said.

The Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) required the firm to appoint an IFA that will look into some concerns about the company’s debt restructuring plan.

Separately, Noble said that it will report its first-quarter earnings next week. The company faced a US$5b loss in 2017.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
