In exchange for RM1.1 billion that would then be used to pay contractors, subcontractors, and other service providers, Sapura Energy will issue debt equipment known as transferable convertible loan information, which would carry an annual interest rate of 2 %, to the Ministry of Finance in return for RM1.1 billion that would then be used to pay vendors, subcontractors, and other service providers.
The arrangement of Sapura Energy’s exceptional loan will enable the bank’s main lenders, the state-controlled economic institutions Maybank, RHB, and CIMB, to carry out a reform of its outstanding debt.
A director of one of the businesses involved in the financial practice, who declined to be identified because he is not permitted to speak to the media on the grounds of banking secrecy, said,” The offer is not good for the lenders because they will need to take hair on outstanding debts that will need to be amortized in their book.
Banks are referred to as getting less than they are owed, or” cut”.
” But there was no way to carry out a restructuring without the ( government ) injection. The director declined to provide information on the size of the write-off that financial institutions would be required to make under the debt restructuring plan.” With this, Sapura Energy does have a fighting chance to become financially viable once more,” said the director.
However, two additional bankers who were involved in the proposed restructuring noted that Sapura Energy’s debt burden will be decreased from RM10 billion to RMRM5.2 billion following the restructuring exercise, which could take up to six months and require shareholder and regulatory approvals.  ,
Former STOCKMARKET DARLING
Sapura Energy once reigned supreme dominance over the stock market.  ,
The business merged in 2012 between Mokhzani Mahathir, the second son of businessman Shahril Shamsuddin and Mokhzani Mahathir, the result of which the company quickly expanded and expanded internationally, gaining clients like Petrobras of Brazil.  ,
After Saipem SpA of Italy, Sapura Energy was ranked as the second-largest integrated oil and gas services provider in the world at its peak.
Then came the 2014 drop in oil prices, which hit the business that had relied on local financial institutions to fund its rapid expansion. Mokhzani sold his stake in Sapura Energy in 2017 after mounting financial losses.
Shahril remained in charge of the business, but a financial turnaround was unsuccessful due to the high costs involved in paying off the group’s enormous debt.
PNB decided to increase its stake to 40 % in 2018 from roughly 7 % when it issued a new share issue to raise additional funding as Sapura Energy’s financial woes grew.  ,
Although the PNB investment was only about RM2.67 billion, it hasn’t been enough to stop Sapura Energy’s losses, setting the stage for the financial rescue last week.
