大股东增持 继续获盈利 益资利有望撤PN17

二零一四年三月二日 晚上七时四十二分

报道：林伟彬

资深银行家丹斯里阿兹曼哈欣最近已经逐步增持益资利金融集团有限公司（ECM，2143，金融组），引发市场盛传该集团可能很快脱离PN17作业守则。

该集团是于2012年12月以8亿7510万令吉代价，脱售其核心业务益资利投资银行予肯纳格控股有限公司（KENANGA，6483，金融组）后，被列入PN17作业公司。

该投资银行占了益资利的70%收益贡献。

不过，不像其他PN17公司，益资利并未面对财务压力。自脱售投资银行后，它在过去3季仍然有利可图，惟盈利规模远低于之前。主要是拜其余下业务如基金管理、企业谘询和架构融资与投资等所赐。

该集团也拥有具规模的现金储备，并没有任何负债。截至去年10月31日，它共拥有5422万令吉的现金。

因而，益资利自去年11月25日起，已向大马交易所申请豁免提呈重组计划，并加入考虑其截至10月31日止，录得492万令吉净盈利和763万令吉营业额的第3财季业绩。

若获准豁免，益资利的PN17地位将被撤离。但经过约3个月，大马交易所尚未透露其决定。

但益资利大股东，也是银行集团阿马证券控股有限公司（AMBANK，1015，金融组）主席的阿兹曼（75岁），已经开始累积该PN17作业公司的股份。

他在1月27日买入6万2600股，及于2月14日进一步增持30万9600股，惟成交价并未透露。

此前，其于益资利股票的最后购入是在11月中旬。

这些交易已使他在益资利的间接持股，提高到27.39%。

益资利的另外2名大股东，即主席拿督斯里卡利慕拉和林建安，也已在去年展开累积该股。他们最后的成交分别是落在去年9月和6月。

卡利慕拉控制该公司4.65%，而担任非独立非执行董事的林建安，则拥有20.94%，是益资利单一最大股东。

有趣的是，益资利也持有依恩奥有限公司（E&O，3417，产业组）的6.13%股权，后者是一家由森那美有限公司（SIME，4197，贸易服务组）控制32%的产业发展商。

当The Edge询问增持该PN17公司股份时，阿兹曼并没有直接回答。

他说：“目前，它拥有非常流通的资产，包括现金和在依恩奥的股权。”

若该公司有意保留上市，它‘可能’需要注入其他资产，不过他并不在益资利的董事部内，因此他未能对其计划评论。

不过，熟悉益资利计划的消息来源指出，该集团并不急于注入任何资产，因它可建立其现有业务，尤其是资产管理和架构借贷部门。

“这2项资产足以支持它脱离PN17地位，因它们属于可行的业务。”

消息称，该集团已经积极物色可作潜在收购的资产，包括在金融服务业之内或以外，惟现仍未有足够兴趣购买。

“我们必须耐心。若出现可为股东增值的资产，益资利将会出手。现阶段是，该公司并没有受压收购任何资产，以脱离PN17，因此我们较倾向为股东们保留价值。”

消息透露：“益资利有意保持上市，但在最坏的情况下，它将可拆散这些业务、除牌和分配所获资金予股东们。”

大马交易所将观察以批准上述豁免的其中一点是集团盈利的持续性。

集团首席执行员阿兹琳表示，若大马交易所驳回其豁免申请，益资利将会要求更多时间以脱离PN17。

“我们将按部就班保留上市，并确保盈利可以持续。”

与此同时，早前的消息称，在依恩奥的6.13%股权属于‘纯粹投资’，并会在合适价格时随时出售。

消息补充，益资利并没有计划引入该产业发展商的任何资产。

“该公司参股依恩奥是因为该股价值被低估。在合适价格时，益资利将会出售股份。”

益资利脱售其投资银行的其中一个原因，是让阿兹曼可符合银行条例，即禁止单一个人成为2家金融机构主要股东。

阿兹曼拥有阿马证券控股的14.7%，后者是国内以资产计的第5大银行集团。他在福布斯大马50首富排名中，居第17位，截至2013年3月的资产总值8亿1000万美元。【光华日报财经】

益资利金融末季转盈

财经新闻 财经  2014-03-21 12:16

各项收费收入良好、脱售一家联号公司录得400万令吉回酬，以及Libra投资公司管理的基金带来500万令吉投资收入，是该公司成功转亏为盈的原因。

因此，该公司在第四季录得0.58仙每股盈利，促使全年每股盈利增至3.97仙。

不过，益资利金融第四季和全年营业额，分别按年滑落79.62%和83.09%，至769万1000令吉和2800万6000令吉。

相比之下，该公司上财年第四季和全年，分别亏损5586万9000令吉及4199万2000令吉，营业额分别达3774万令吉和1亿6560万4000令吉。【南洋网财经】

益资利即起脱离PN17 免呈重组计划

财经新闻 财经  2014-05-29 12:15
（吉隆坡28日讯）益资利金融（ECM，2143，主板金融股）豁免提呈业务重组计划，并与明日（29日）起，脱离PN17行列。

该公司发表文告，因陷入PN17行列，益资利金融原本需向马交所提呈业务重组计划。

但考虑到益资利金融的最新业绩表现，过去连续四个季度取得净利，加上计划继续拓展核心业务，也不再触犯PN17条例，马交所决定豁免提呈重组计划。

截至1月底，净利达1230万令吉，净资产有3亿8019万6000令吉，加上现金和流动资产稳健，没长期负债，营运资源充足。

益资利金融2012年12月脱售贡献70%的投资银行业务后，陷入PN17行列，而非业绩不良所造成。

未来，该公司将继续专注于核心金融服务业务，包括基金管理、贷款、私募投资与顾问等。【南洋网财经】

Description	ECM LIBRA FINANCIAL GROUP BERHAD ("ECMFG" or "Company”) APPLICATION FOR A WAIVER FROM COMPLYING WITH PARAGRAPH 8.04(3) OF THE Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
ECM LIBRA FINANCIAL GROUP BERHAD ("ECMFG" or "Company") Application for a waiver from complying with paragraph 8.04(3) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Reference is made to the Company’s announcements on 25 November 2013 and 13 December 2013, and the most recent monthly status update on 2 May 2014. In relation thereto, the board of directors of ECMFG is pleased to announce that the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) has, vide their letter dated 28 May 2014, granted the Company the waiver from having to comply with paragraph 8.04(3)(a) of the Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) which requires a company with a Practice Note 17 (“PN17”) status to submit a regularisation plan (“Waiver”). The Waiver was granted after due consideration of, amongst others, the following: (i)            the latest audited financial position of ECMFG and its group of companies (“Group”); (ii)          the Group had recorded 4 consecutive quarters of net profit up to the quarter ended 31 January 2014 of which the results for quarters ended 31 March 2013, 31 July 2013 and 31 October 2013 have been subjected to a limited review by the external auditor; (iii)         the Company’s plans to grow the core business moving forward; and (iv)         the Company no longer triggers any prescribed criteria under paragraph 2.1 of Practice Note 17 of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities. In conjunction with the Waiver, Bursa Securities has also informed that the Company will be uplifted from its PN17 status effective from 9.00 a.m. on 29 May 2014. In respect of paragraph (iii) above, the Group will thus continue to be involved in the Group’s core business of financial services, where following the disposal of the investment banking business in December 2012, the Group’s operations continue in the areas of fund management, structured lending & advisory and investment in private equity and quoted securities, all being integral components of our financial services business.    As set out in our annual report for the financial year ended 31 January 2014 (FYE2014), the Group recorded a PAT of RM12.3 million and shareholders’ equity stood at RM380.196 million, and the Group’s cash and liquid asset position continues to remain healthy, with no long term liabilities. The Group has adequate operating resources and has conserved its cash and liquid assets to provide internal funding to grow its financial services business, summarised as below: Fund management business: For the fund management business segment (operated under Libra Invest Berhad (“LIB”)), the Group continues to focus on strengthening the platform to further increase the assets under management and profitability, as we expand our marketing programme and diversify distribution channels by establishing an agency force and tie-ups with IUTAs, on the back of good and stable fund performance. In 2014, LIB launched 2 funds, bringing the total funds managed by LIB to 22,  out which 17 are listed on the Lipper Fund Table and as at 16 May 2014 (which was published on 26 May 2014), 10 out of said 17 funds are in Quartile 1 (1-year return).  In this respect, we plan to grow our assets under management by expanding the current funds and, as and when appropriate, through the launch of new funds. The fund management business is carried out on a 3–prong strategy encompassing: organisation-wide emphasis of core values; strategic initiatives; and action plans, with the purpose of cultivating client relationships in our niche market, and to effectively translate the relationships into investment mandates, with the objective of providing superior returns. Structured lending business: The Group’s structured lending & advisory business serves a unique clientele comprising corporate and high net worth individuals, where the Group provides an alternative channel for funding that is highly responsive to clients’ needs. The Group’s loan base (drawn down) has been steadily increasing from RM4.1 million as at FYE2013 to RM44.3 million as at FYE2014. Based on the total loan facilities granted to-date of approximately RM80 million (out of which the said RM44.3 million has been drawndown), we expect to achieve a higher loan base with the objective of providing meaningful recurrent earnings to the Group. Investments in private equity and quoted securities: In actively managing its investments in private equity and quoted securities, the Group took the opportunity to dispose some of our holdings in ISR Capital Limited (“ISR”), following which ISR ceased to be an associate company of the Group. The Group sees private equity as a growth area, and we continue to explore potential opportunities to expand the private equity portfolio. This announcement is dated 28 May 2014.

成长私募基金组合　益资利参股教育集团

二零一五年二月十三日 晚上九时三十五分
（吉隆坡13日讯）现金充裕的益资利金融集团有限公司（ECM，2143，金融组），将以1279万令吉现金代价，收购Educ8集团私人有限公司的12.4%股权，相等于1279万股票，后者是由丹斯里东尼费南德斯和拿督卡玛鲁汀所控制。

在致给大马交易所的文件中，益资利表示，这项行动符合它成长其私募基金组合的意愿，并看好Educ8集团和私人教育领域的前景，及相信它可对其私人股份组合带来正面贡献。

Educ8集团认购预料将在今年4月完成。

益资利计划在今年2至4月间，分阶段认购Educ8集团股票。它补充，它将委任一名董事加入Educ8集团董事部，成为其代表。

Educ8集团独资子公司Epsom学院（马）私人有限公司，在雪兰莪Enstek镇经营寄宿学校Epsom学院高级学校。这间学院提供中小学教育，以及英国教学大纲，目前拥有192名学生。

费南德斯是Educ8集团最大股东，持有38.9%，其次是ASIG（31.6%）、卡玛鲁汀（26%）、Sesama教育（1.8%）、Rezeki Bahagia（1.1%）和Epsom学院有限公司（0.6%）。

随着益资利参股Educ8集团，费南德斯在该公司的持股将冲淡至33%，ASIG（22.1%）、卡玛鲁汀（22.1%）、Sesama教育（1.5%）、Rezeki Bahagia（1%）和Epsom学院有限公司（0.5%）。

ASIG是由益资利非执行董事林建安透过Plato资本有限公司控制。林建安也出任Educ8集团董事部。

在截至2014年12月31日止财政年度，Educ8集团的净亏损从前一年的507万令吉缩小到283万令吉，而营业额则从2013财政年的2万6000令吉暴增到482万令吉。

Educ8集团认为，2014财政年的较低净亏损是由于该学院于去年9月开始经营，推高来自学费和广泛费用的收入。

继以8亿7511万令吉代价脱售其投资银行经营予肯纳格投资银行后，益资利于2012年12月陷入PN17作业守则。其PN17地位于2014年5月28日解除。

该集团是由银行大亨丹斯里阿兹曼哈欣（76岁）控制，持股7.58%，而林建安则拥有另外21.48%股份。

以现有市值1.08令吉计，益资利的市值约达2亿8980万令吉。

获准回购10%股份

另一方面，益资利金融集团已获得股东们批准，回购高达10％的已发行及缴足股本。

一位消息人士称，该金融服务集团在股东特别大会中，在不到10分钟的过程中已获得股东们通过有关议案。

今年1月13日益资利金融集团宣布，它有意寻求股东们批准，在公开市场中回购自己的股票。

所收购之股份将会作为库存股。

在考虑到员工购股计划（ESOS）的数量，并假设所有员工皆参与该计划，那么该集团潜在地最多可回购2880万7009股。【光滑日报财经】

（吉隆坡19日訊）歸功於組合管理和單位信託收費收入，企業顧問與結構融資等盈利強勁，益資利金融（ECM,2143,主板金融組）截至2015年1月31日止第四季淨利上揚38.14%至213萬7千令吉，推高全年淨利增長逾倍至2千823萬令吉。

全年淨利增長逾倍

第四季營業額走揚40.63%至1千零81萬6千令吉，令全年營業額擴大69.84%至4千756萬5千令吉。

該公司發文告指出，預期基金管理、結構信貸與顧問活動表現將持續穩定，而股票和證券投資收入帶著機會主義色彩，但排除任何不可預見因素，預期將對截至2016年1月31日止財政年帶來正面貢獻。（星洲日報／財經）

派现金及东家股票 益资利资本回退3.2亿

财经新闻 财经  2015-06-02 10:12
（吉隆坡1日讯）益资利金融（ECM，2143，主板金融股）建议削资，并把高达3亿2010万令吉的资金，以现金或现金再加东家（E&O，3417，主板产业股）的股票及凭单的方式，回退给股东。

配合此活动，该股今天早上9时宣布暂停交易，直至下午5时。

回顾上个交易日，益资利金融收在1.05令吉，全天扬2仙，或1.9%。

值得注意的是，东家是益资利金融旗下Libra Strategic Opportunity基金所持有的证券组合之一。

目前，Libra Strategic Opportunity基金共持东家的6408万3870股股票，及4000万张凭单，市值约达1亿2919万令吉。

根据文告，益资利金融建议通过两种方式，来回退3亿2010万令吉给股东。

首先，该公司建议削资2亿3474万令吉，相等于88仙的面值。益资利金融原本的面值为每股1令吉。

余款以股代息

而剩余的8536万令吉，则会通过派发特别股息，或加上“以股代息”的方式，回馈股东。

“根据现有的发行及缴足资本估算，削资有可能把益资利金融的资本，从原有的2亿6675万令吉，削减至3201万令吉。”

益资利金融表示，将通过现金储备、贷款资产报废，和赎回单位信托投资等，为上述资本回退计划融资。

而剩余的回退金额，则会“以股代息”，通过分发东家的股票来完成。

有意维持上市地位

完成回退后，益资利金融还建议拆细股票，不过比例有待公布。

接着，该公司的发出及缴足股本，将被整合至每股面值50仙，届时，股本将介于3201万至3439万令吉之间。

益资利金融表示，这一连串的建议与公司的资本管理架构相符，包括将多余的现金回退股东。

同时，公司亦进行了多方面考量，包括营运、现金、业务前景、投资计划后，才作此决定。

截至1月31日，公司经审计股东基金达到4亿4845万令吉，董事部亦曾就此与营运规模进行对比。

“我们认为，通过重新调动资本，股东可受惠更多，因这能立即巩固价值，改善股东的长期回酬。”

同时，也能重组股本架构，反映目前的营运及资本规模。

益资利金融有意维持上市地位，因将持续通过子公司营运核心业务，故不会被列入PN17。

以上建议预计可在末季完成，料减少2016财年的净利和每股盈利。

新闻背景：售投银业务陷PN17

益资利金融2012年12月，脱售了贡献70%的投资银行业务后，陷入PN17行列。

未来，该公司将继续专注于核心金融服务业务，包括基金管理、贷款、私募投资与顾问等。

不过，由于该公司脱售投资银行业务后的业绩表现出色，连续四个季度取得净利，因此在去年5月获得批准脱离PN17，同时也豁免提呈重组计划。

未来，该公司将继续专注于核心金融服务业务，包括基金管理、贷款、私募投资与顾问等。【南洋网财经】

（吉隆坡18日讯）益资利金融（ECM，2143，主板金融股）截至4月30日首季，净利按年下跌41.36%，至150万令吉，或每股盈利0.56仙。

第四季营业额也按年减少14.8%，达513万6000令吉。

该公司的净利，主要源自于管理费254万令吉、利息收入242万令吉、租金37万令吉、脱售汽车获得17万令吉、贷款和其他费用收入12万令吉以及投资收入6万令吉。

此外，上季脱售的证券所得的非持续收入是444万令吉。

但是，由于该证券贬值319万令吉，以及营业开销达382万令吉，抵消了部分净利。

另一方面，该公司也宣布调任林建安为董事经理，他原是该公司的非执行董事。【南洋网财经】
