Alam Maritim jumps nearly 24pct in active trade
The counter opened slightly higher, up one sen or 5.26 per cent, before climbing as much as 4.5 sen or 23.68 per cent to 23.5 sen in active trade.
At the time of writing, the stock had eased to 22.5 sen, still up 3.5 sen or 15.56 per cent, with over 10 million shares changing hands, its busiest trading day in more than a month.
Alam Maritim completed a 10-to-1 share consolidation on July 3, with the stock trading on an adjusted basis starting July 1, rising from 2.5 sen to 26.5 sen on that day.
Since the price adjustment, the stock has fallen 7.5 sen or 28.3 per cent from its adjusted high of 26.5 sen, closing at 19 sen yesterday after touching a low of 17.5 sen on Aug 1.
Last Friday, the company confirmed that its ongoing rights issue is part of efforts to restructure its debts and exit its Practice Note 17 (PN17) status.
The rights issue opened on July 31. Eligible shareholders have until Aug 15 to subscribe to their entitled shares or apply for excess shares. Trading of provisional rights ends on Aug 7.
Under the offer, shareholders are entitled to subscribe for three new shares for every four shares held, at 12 sen per share. For every four rights shares subscribed, they will also receive one free warrant, exercisable at 30 sen per share.
The company expects to raise about RM13.8 million, most of which will go towards settling debts with creditors under its court-approved restructuring plan.
Alam Maritim has been classified as a PN17 company since October 2022, after its auditors issued a disclaimer of opinion on its financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022.
The company is an offshore service provider specialising in subsea services and offshore support vessel (OSV) operations for the oil and gas industry.
Its core services include underwater inspection, repair and maintenance, vessel chartering and marine construction.
For the third quarter ended March 31, 2025, Alam Maritim posted a net profit of RM20.7 million, up from RM18.5 million a year earlier, mainly due to a RM19.5 million reversal of impairment on investments in jointly controlled entities.
However, revenue for the quarter fell 22.7 per cent to RM49.3 million from RM63.8 million, primarily due to weaker contributions from the OSV and subsea segments.

Plywood products manufacturer Annum to be delisted on Aug 12
KUALA LUMPUR: The securities of plywood products manufacturer Annum Bhd shall be delisted from Bursa Malaysia on Aug 12, 2025, following the dismissal of the company's appeal for an extension of time to submit its regularisation plan. "With respect to the securities of the company which are currently deposited with Bursa Malaysia Depository Sdn Bhd (Bursa Depository), the securities will be withdrawn from Bursa Depository by the Company upon the de-listing of the securities from the Official List of Bursa Securities. "The company will continue to update and maintain the shareholders' information in their Register," said the stock exchange in an announcement today. Bursa Malaysia said the company will be delisted pursuant to paragraph 8.04 of the Main Listing Requirements. It added that the company will continue to exist as an unlisted entity, and will be able to continue its operations and business and proceed with its corporate restructuring. "Its shareholders can still be rewarded by the company' performance," it said. However, the shareholders will be holding shares that are no longer quoted and traded on Bursa Malaysia. The interests and rights of the shareholders will remain safeguarded under the Companies Act 2016. Trading in Annum's shares has been suspended since May 28, 2025. At its last close on May 27, 2025, the share was traded at 0.5 sen a unit. The company, formerly known as Cymao Holdings Bhd, was required to submit a regularisation plan after being classified as a Practice Note 17 company on May 8, 2024, following a disclaimer of opinion issued by Messrs SBY Partners PLT for the period ended June 30, 2023. Subsequently on April 30, 2025, auditors Messrs LTTH PLT also expressed a disclaimer of opinion on the financial statements of the group as it had not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.
