Noble buys additional 52.5% stake in East Energy Resources for $940,428

EER paid a debt worth US$21m to Noble.

Noble Group subsidiary Maylion bought an additional 52.5% stake in Australia-listed coal exploration company East Energy Resources (EER) for $940,428 (A$930,000).

Prior to the transaction, Maylion held a 40.9% shareholding in EER. According to an announcement, the additional shares were issued in satisfaction of a debt owing to Noble by EER.

The debt has a face value of around A$28m (US$21m) and has been fully impaired since Q3 2017. “On the basis of the foregoing, the consideration paid by the company for the transaction was effectively nil,” Noble said.

It added that the book value and net tangible asset value attributable to the additional shares was nil.

Following the transaction, Maylion’s shareholding in EER has increased to 93.4%. EER has also ceased to be an associated company of Noble and has become its subsidiary of the company.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
