MMC hires bankers for Malakoff US$1bil IPO
Wednesday August 15, 2012
KUALA LUMPUR: MMC Corp Bhd has hired four joint global coordinators for a US$1bil initial public offering (IPO) of its 51%-owned power unit, Malakoff Corp Bhd, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
Plans for a 2013 relisting of the country's largest independent power producer come shortly after the state development firm snapped up power assets from tycoon T. Ananda Krishnan and conglomerate Genting Bhd for a combined RM10.8bil.
CIMB, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan and Maybank were selected as the joint global coordinators for the Malakoff Corp initial public offering, the two sources said, declining to be named because the plans have not been officially announced.
At least one other bank is likely to be involved as a bookrunner, one of the sources said.
MMC and Malakoff officials were not immediately available to comment.
Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary, named by Forbes as Malaysia's seventh-richest person, controls MMC and has been involved in other recent deals.
The reclusive tycoon took the ailing national carmaker Proton Holdings private earlier this year.
On June 11, MMC listed shares of its subsidiary Gas Malaysia Bhd - the country's sole supplier of natural gas to the non-power sector.
Since the listing, its shares have climbed 22.27% above its IPO reference price of RM2.20 per share.
MMC first de-listed Malakoff in 2006 in a privatisation deal worth some RM9.3bil, or RM10.35 per share. A cash cow, Malakoff recorded revenues of RM5.47bil in 2010, almost double the level in the fiscal year ended Aug 31, 2006, before it was eventually taken private. Reuters
