Ezion to dispose stake in two companies by 30 November

The decision was made to cut operational costs.

Offshore services firm Ezion is jettisoning its stake in two companies by 30 November to streamline its asset base and reduce operational costs, according to an SGX filing.

The company is selling its 50% share in Strategic Offshore Limited (SOL), a Malta-incorporated dormant company, to ES Assets Management for a nominal cash consideration of $1.36 (US$1).

Ezion is also offloading its 30% stake in Rotating Offshore Solutions (ROS) to shareholders Murugesan Srinivasan and Lim Boon Chye Victor for a 5% effective interest at a cash consideration of $250,000 (US$180,899), respectively. In addition, ROS shall buy back its 20% effective interest for $2.5m (US$1.8m).

Upon completion of the transactions, Ezion will not hold any interests in SOL or ROS. Assuming that both disposals had been effected on 1 January 2018, Ezion’s basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share will increase from loss per share of $14.88 (US$10.91) to $15.09 (US$11.06).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
