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

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.
