Dyna-Mac Holdings boosts share capital by 10%

A new project may be brewing up.

According to OCBC, Dyna-Mac Holdings Ltd (DMHL) recently completed a placement of up to 139.5m ordinary shares, consisting of 93m new shares issued and 46.5m vendor shares owned by current CEO Mr. Desmond Lim, at S$0.50 per share.

Here's more from OCBC:

This enlarges DMHL’s existing share capital by about 10%. Mr. Desmond Lim is still the largest shareholder with a 40.8% stake (previously: 49.9%), followed by Keppel Corp with 24.4% (previously: 26.9%).

According to the group, net proceeds of S$45.7m from the issuance of new shares will be used for working capital purposes.

We believe that the new proceeds will be used to fund working capital requirements for its expanded production output. Recall that DMHL has been operating at close to full utilization in the past quarter and recently expanded its production output capacity to 45,000 tons, up from 25,000 tons a year ago.

With the sharp increase in output, the group is likely to need additional financing for its fabrication contracts.

We are also not overly concerned about the placement of vendor shares. DMHL founder and current CEO Mr Desmond Lim, 54, may have legitimate reasons to diversify his personal wealth. In any case, he remains the largest shareholder with 40.8% stake post- placement and is still very much involved in running the business.

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.
