M3NERGY - Listing Circular

Announcement Type: Listing Circular
Company Name: M3NERGY BERHAD
Stock Name: M3NERGY
Date Announced: 17/08/2010

Announcement Detail:
Subject: (I) PUBLIC REPRIMAND ON M3NERGY BERHAD
(II) PUBLIC REPRIMAND AND FINES OF RM10,000 EACH ON THE MANAGING DIRECTOR AND
NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

Contents: Breach of paragraphs 9.16(1)(a), 9.16(4), 10.04(1) and 16.11(b) of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("LR")

1. Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securities") publicly reprimands M3NERGY Berhad ("M3NERGY" or "the Company") for breaches of paragraphs 9.16(1)(a), 9.16(4) and 10.04(1) of the LR.

2. Paragraph 9.16(1)(a) of the LR states that a listed issuer must ensure that the content of a press or other public announcement is factual, clear, unambiguous, accurate, succinct and contains sufficient information to enable investors to make informed decisions.
Paragraph 9.16(4) of the LR states that where any announcement referred to in subparagraph (1) above has been submitted to the Exchange and the person referred to in subparagraph (1) subsequently becomes aware that the announcement may not fulfil the requirements of paragraph (1) above, the person shall notify the Exchange of the same.

Paragraph 10.04(1) of the LR states that for a transaction where any one of the percentage ratios is equal to or exceeds 5%, as soon as possible after terms of the transaction have been agreed, the listed issuer must make an immediate announcement to the Exchange of such transaction which announcement shall include the information set out in Appendix 10A.
3. M3NERGY had on 27 August 2007 announced that the Company had received an invitation from Core Attributes (M) Sdn Bhd ("CASB") for the Company to sell its entire stake in Malaysian Merchant Marine Berhad ("MMM") consisting of 50,375,884 ordinary shares (ie. 28.67% of MMM's share capital of 175.722 million shares) and 470,000 Islamic Preference Shares ("IPS") for a cash consideration of RM33.5 million ("the Proposed Disposal").
M3NERGY then announced on 31 October 2007 that a Conditional Share Sale Agreement was executed between the Company and CASB in respect of the Proposed Disposal. Subsequently, M3NERGY announced on 12 December 2007 that the Company had entered into a Supplemental Share Sale Agreement ("SSSA") with CASB on 12 December 2007 based on the agreed revised terms as follows:-
(i) The total number of shares to be acquired has now been reduced from 50,375,884 ordinary shares to 29,442,000 ordinary shares.
The consideration for the 29,442,000 ordinary shares is RM15,163,420;
(ii) M3NERGY has agreed to grant to CASB an irrevocable option over 20,933,884 ordinary shares in MMM ("Option Shares") for a total consideration of RM20,515,206 in addition to the existing option which CASB holds over M3NERGY's remaining IPS and warrants ("OS Call Option"). The OS Call Option may be exercised by CASB from 12 December 2007 until 31 December 2008; and
(iii) CASB has also agreed to grant a put option to M3NERGY in relation to the Option Shares wherein M3NERGY shall have the right to require CASB to purchase all the Option Shares for a total consideration of RM20,515,206 exercisable between 1 December 2008 and 31 December 2008.

The Company further announced that the Proposed Disposal based on the above varied terms had been completed on 12 December 2007.

However, it is noted that the 29,442,000 of MMM shares comprised of 16,600,000 of MMM shares were disposed by M3NERGY on 28 November 2007 via open market to a total of 173 buyers and 12,842,000 of MMM shares were disposed to 2 individuals via direct business transaction. None of these buyers was CASB.

Hence, it is apparent that the Company's earlier announcement of 31 October 2007 on the proposed disposal of 50,375,884 ordinary shares to CASB was no longer factual and fulfils the requirements of paragraph 9.16(1). However, the Company failed to comply with the obligation under paragraph 9.16(4) of the LR to notify Bursa Securities of the same. In addition, the Company's announcement on 12 December 2007 that the disposal of 29,442,000 ordinary shares of MMM to CASB had been completed on 12 December 2007 was not factual, inaccurate and in breach of paragraph 9.16(1)(a) of the LR. M3NERGY had also breached paragraph 10.04(1) of the LR for failing to make an immediate announcement when the Company issued a Notice of Exercise of Put Option to CASB on 10 December 2008 to require CASB to purchase all the Option Shares ("the Put Option Notice"). The Company only made an announcement of the Put Option Notice on 20 February 2009.
4. Paragraph 16.11(b) of the LR states that a director of a listed issuer must not permit, either knowingly or where he had reasonable means of obtaining such knowledge, a listed issuer to commit a breach of the LR.
Bursa Securities found the Managing Director and the Non-Executive Chairman of M3NERGY to have breached paragraph 16.11(b) of the LR for permitting knowingly or where they had reasonable means of obtaining such knowledge the Company to commit the breach of paragraphs 9.16(1)(a) and 9.16(4) of the LR and impose the following penalties on them:- Director Penalty 1. Datuk Shahrazi bin Sha'ari
Managing Director /
Chief Executive Officer Public Reprimand and fine of RM10,000 2. Dato' Zulkifly @ Sofi bin Haji Mustapha
Non-Executive Chairman Public Reprimand and fine of RM10,000 In particular, it was noted that both directors were aware of the Open Market Disposal but failed to discharge their duties to undertake reasonable enquiries and due diligence in approving the Company's announcement dated 12 December 2007 to ensure the announcement complies with the standards of disclosure under paragraph 9.16(1)(a) of the LR. In addition, Datuk Shahrazi bin Sha'ari had also failed to ensure the Company announced the Open Market Disposal immediately.
5. The finding of breach and imposition of the above penalties on M3NERGY and the directors are made pursuant to paragraph 16.17 of the LR upon completion of due process and after taking into consideration all facts and circumstances of the matter including the materiality of the breaches ie. the announcement dated on 12 December 2007 gave rise to the wrong perception as to the party that has a controlling stake in MMM and the commitment of CASB to acquire the stake in MMM and the material price movement in MMM shares at the material time.

6. Bursa Securities views the above contraventions seriously and reminds the Company and its Board of Directors on their responsibility to maintain appropriate standards of corporate responsibility and accountability in order to achieve greater disclosure and transparency to the shareholders and the investing public.
