Noble sells marketing and offtake deal for $13.32m

It is expected to lose $8.96m as the asset was underpriced.

Noble agreed to sell its marketing and offtake agreement and some debt contracts with a petrochemicals firm to Tricon Energy for $13.32m (US$10.1m).

In an SGX announcement, Noble said the assets are no longer considered to be part of Noble Group’s core businesses. The sale is expected to gain proceeds of $13.18m (US$10m). It is expected that the net proceeds will be made available for general working capital purposes.

As at 30 September 2017, the book value and net tangible asset value of the assets were approximately $22.27m (US$16.9m). The deficit of the consideration over the book value of the assets is around $8.96m (US$6.8m). The loss on the proposed disposal would amount to approximately $8.96m (US$6.8m).

It noted that the assets being disposed of were previously included in its Global Oil Liquids business and Energy segment for reporting purposes. “Following the conclusion of the monetisation of Noble Group’s Global Oil Liquids and North American Gas and Power businesses, Noble Group is focusing on its Hard Commodities, Freight and LNG businesses and in solidifying its position as the leading industrial and energy products supply chain manager in the Asia Pacific region.”

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
