Bursa Malaysia-listed Straits Energy Resources Berhad (Straits) on Monday (21 September) proposed to undertake a reduction of MYR 90 million (USD 22 million) of its issued share capital to offset accumulated losses of the company and strengthen its financial position.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company said the proposed capital reduction entails the reduction of the issued share capital of Straits via the cancellation of the company’s paid-up share capital, which is substantially lost or unrepresented by available assets. 

The corresponding credit of MYR 90 million arising from the proposed exercise will be utilised to partially offset the accumulated losses while any balance credit will be credited to the capital reserve account which would serve as an additional credit buffer to set off future losses of the company.

The MYR 90 million was determined by the Board, after taking into consideration amongst others, the unaudited accumulated losses of the company for the financial year ended 30 June 2026 of MYR 101.91 million.

The proposal will not have any effect on the number or percentage of shares held by the substantial shareholders of the company as it does not involve any issuance, cancellation or transfer of shares held by the shareholders.

“Barring any unforeseen circumstances and subject to all required approvals being obtained, the proposed capital reduction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027,” the company added.
