2.0 Part B – SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad

2.1 Business Combination

A merger is defined as a combining of two roughly equal size firms on roughly equal term
and in which the shareholder remain as joint-owners. This is shown in the merger between
SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad and Kencana Petroleum Berhad as both of the companies
have roughly equal sizes and both are also big players in the oil and gas industry. The
business combinations between these two companies are also known as an amalgamation
because amalgamation is the combination of one or more companies into a new entity. An
amalgamation means neither of the combining companies survives as a legal entity; a
completely new entity is formed to house the combined assets and liabilities of both
companies which is how Integral Key Berhad is formed (later known as SapuraKencana
Petroleum Berhad). The further explanation on how the business combination is done will be
explained in the following paragraphs.

On 30 June 2011, a private company limited by shares under the Companies Act 1965 is
incorporated and known as Integral Key Sdn Bhd which will be converted into a public
company later and known as Integral Key Berhad. This special purpose vehicle called
Integral Key Berhad will be buying all assets and liabilities of SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad
for RM 5.87 billion and Kencana Petroleum Berhad for RM 5.98 billion under a cash and
share swap deal.

On 11 July 2011, Kencana Petroleum Berhad receives an offer from Integral Key Berhad to
acquire the entire business and undertakings of Kencana as carried on by Kencana, including
all its assets and liabilities as at the completion date of disposal for a total consideration of
RM 5,979,564,078, which is equivalent to RM 3.00 per ordinary share of Kencana multiplied
by the assumed enlarged Kencana Petroleum shares of 1,993,188,026. In addition, the
consideration should be satisfied by the issuance of 2,505,437,349 new Integral Key shares of
RM 1.00 each at an issue price of RM 2.00 per share of Integral Key and a cash payment of
RM 968,689,380.

Page | 7
Simultaneously on 11 July 2011, Integral Key has also made an offer to acquire the entire
business of SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad and undertakings as carried on by SapuraCrest,
including all its assets and liabilities as at the completion date for a total consideration of RM
5,872,923,260, which is equivalent to RM 4.60 per ordinary share in SapuraCrest multiplied
by SapuraCrest issued shares of 1,276,722,448 as at 8 July 2011. The merger consideration
shall be satisfied by the issuance of 2,498,928,847 new ordinary shares of RM 1.00 each in
Integral Key shares at an issue price of RM 2.00 per new Integral Key share and a cash
payment of RM 875,065,566.

The proposed business combination of the Kencana Petroleum business and SapuraCrest
business will collectively form the combined entity under Integral Key.

Upon the disposal of Kencana Petroleum Berhad, the company shall subject to obtaining all
requisite approvals, distribute the consideration to the company’s shareholders by way of a
capital reduction and repayment exercise under Section 64 of the Companies Act 1965.
Thereafter, the company shall issue 2 Kencana Petroleum shares to Integral Key such that the
company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integral Key. Upon the completion of
the consideration and the issuance of Kencana Petroleum shares to Integral Key, the company
shall then be delisted from the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

On the other hand, upon the disposal of SapuraCrest business, SapuraCrest shall subject to
obtaining all requisite approvals, distribute the new Integral Key shares and the cash payment
to the shareholders of SapuraCrest, via a special dividend and/or capital repayment exercise
pursuant to the terms of the offer.

On 5 August 2011, Kencana Petroleum Berhad has accepted the offer by Integral Key Berhad
subject to the terms and conditions of the offer which include obtaining all the requisite
approvals.

Simultaneously on 5 August 2011, the Board of SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad has resolved
to accept the offer by Integral Key Berhad to acquire SapuraCrest business for a total
consideration of RM 5,872,923,260, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the offer
letter. The Board also resolves that after completion of the proposed disposal and subject to

Page | 8
all requisite approvals being obtained, SapuraCrest will proceed with the proposed
distribution.

On 20 September 2011, Integral Key Sdn Bhd is converted into a public company and known
as Integral Key Berhad.

On 21 September 2011, the Board of SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad resolves that upon
completion of the proposed disposal, SapuraCrest shall carry out a capital repayment exercise
by way of a capital reduction exercise in accordance with Section 64 of the Companies Act
1965, under which all SapuraCrest shares will be cancelled with the objective of distributing
to the shareholders of SapuraCrest their entitlement to the merger consideration. The
proposed capital reduction and repayment would be subject to SapuraCrest obtaining all
requisite approvals including the sanction of the High Court of Malaya.

On 28 September 2011, applications to the Security Commission (SC) including the SC

(Equity Compliance Unit), in relation to the offer, have been submitted.

On 17 November 2011, SC has granted its approval for the proposed merger of Kencana and
SapuraCrest subject to the conditions set out in the SC’s letter dated 17 November 2011.

On 14 December 2011, shareholders of SapuraCrest approve and pass the resolution

pertaining to the proposed disposal and proposed capital reduction and repayment.

On 15 December 2011, an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) is held in Kencana and the
motion on the proposed merger is duly passed by the shareholders of Kencana.

On 19 December 2011, the name of Integral Key Berhad is changed to Sapura-Kencana

Petroleum Berhad (SKPB), and since 5 April 2012, the company is known as SapuraKencana
Petroleum Berhad (SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad, 2014).

Pursuant to the approval of the proposed merger by the shareholders of Kencana Petroleum
Berhad on 15 December 2011, the assets and liabilities of the Group have been classified as
Disposal Group held for sale in accordance to FRS 5 – Non-current Asset Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations. Assets and liabilities of the Group are held for sale as at 31 January

Page | 9
2012 and are classified as current assets and current liabilities respectively. The total assets of
Kencana classified as held for sale is RM 3,744,630,000; the total liabilities of Kencana
classified as held for sale is RM 1,798,707,000; and the net assets of Kencana classified as
held for sale is RM 1,945,923,000 as referred to Appendix 1 (SapuraKencana Petroleum
Berhad, 2012a).

On 15 May 2012, SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad (SKPB) completes the acquisition of the
businesses and undertakings, including all assets and liabilities of SapuraCrest Petroleum
Berhad and Kencana Petroleum Berhad, which is subsequent to 30 April 2012 being the cut-
off date for quarter one (Q1) of financial year 31 January 2013, SKPB will not announce its
unaudited results for the quarter ended 30 April 2012. The entity that obtains control of the
acquiree will be identified as the acquirer in accordance with MFRS 3 Business
Combinations. However, as the company (SKPB) is a new entity which was formed to
undertake the acquisitions, one of the entities that existed before the completion shall be
identified as the acquirer. Taking into consideration the guidance in MFRS 3 Business
Combinations, SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad has been identified as the deemed acquirer.
Thus, the acquisition of SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad is accounted for using the merger
accounting (pooling of interest method) whereas the acquisition of the businesses and
undertakings of Kencana Petroleum Berhad is accounted for using the acquisition method.

Based on the foregoing, SKPB wishes to clarify that SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad will be
consolidated into the financial performance of SKPB Group for the whole 12 months period
from 1 February 2012 to 31 January 2013, whereas Kencana Petroleum Berhad will only be
consolidated into the financial performance of SKPB Group for the period of 8.5 months
from 15 May 2012 (date of completion of the acquisitions) to 31 January 2013.

The provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Kencana’s business as at
the date of acquisition (15 May 2012) is shown in Appendix 2 (SapuraKencana Petroleum
Berhad, 2012). The fair value recognized on acquisition of the total assets of Kencana is RM
3,485,401,000; the total liabilities of Kencana is RM 1,924,017,000; and the net identifiable
assets of Kencana is RM 1,561,384,000 as referred to Appendix 2. The total cost of business
combination is RM 6,330,324,000. The net cash flow on acquisition is RM 238,607,000 after
deducting cash and cash equivalents of subsidiaries acquired of RM 730,082,000 from the
total cash paid of RM 968,689,000. The fair value adjustments are provisional and the final

Page | 10
allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the completion of a final analysis (to
be completed within one year from acquisition date) to determine the fair values of acquired
tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. The condensed consolidated
interim financial statements include the results of Kencana’s businesses for the two and a half
months period from the date of acquisition. Kencana’s businesses have contributed RM
653,025,885 of revenue and RM 94,006,968 to the profit after tax of the Group from the date
of acquisition.

SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad has been listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia
Securities Berhad since 17 May 2012 with 5,004,366,198 units of ordinary share capital at
par value of RM 1.00 totaling RM 5,004,366,198 under the category of Initial Public Offering
(IPO).

According to the consolidated statement of financial position of SPKB as at 31 January 2013

as shown in Appendix 3, the item of property, plant and equipment under non-current assets
has increased from RM 1,446,851,000 in 2012 to RM 4,222,486,000 in 2013 (SapuraKencana
Petroleum Berhad, 2013). As SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad is deemed to be the acquirer
under MFRS 3 Business Combinations, the value of property, plant and equipment of RM
1,446,851,000 is taken from the Quarterly Report for the Financial Period ended 31 January
2012 of SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad as referred to Appendix 4. The new amount of
property, plant and equipment is the addition of RM 1,446,851,000 with the fair value
recognized on acquisition of property, plant and equipment of Kencana Petroleum Berhad of
RM 1,734,077,000 together with other property, plant and equipment from other new
subsidiaries.

2.2 Reconstruction of Equity

SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad has no value of share capital shown in 2012 as referred to
Appendix 3 because the acquisition is completed on 15 May 2012 and thus there is no annual
report for the year of 2012. The ordinary share capital shown in 2013 as referred to
Appendix 3 is RM 5,004,366,000 which is the addition of the issuance of new ordinary shares
of RM 1.00 each of 2,505,437,349 new SKPB shares to Kencana Petroleum and the issuance
of new ordinary shares of RM 1.00 each of 2,498,928,847 new SKPB shares to SapuraCrest

Page | 11
Petroleum pursuant to the merger consideration. SapuraCrest’s shareholders would
collectively hold approximately 49.94% while Kencana’s shareholders will own 50.06% in
SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad (SKPB).

2.3 Purpose of Business Combination

SapuraKencana Petroleum Berhad will make them integrated services provider covering the
oil and gas value chain with full-fledged Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation
& Commissioning (EPCIC) capabilities. The mergers is expected to enhance the company
(SKPB) market position and competitiveness which brings about cost saving. It will help
support growth opportunities and acts as a platform to further strengthen the company’s
presence globally. The merger will also help Malaysia to achieve objectives under the
Economic Transformation Program to transfer Malaysia into an Asian hub for the oil and gas
industry. The merger between Kencana Petroleum and SapuraCrest is amongst the largest
merger transaction in Malaysia with deal size of RM11.85 billion.

The Chairman of Kencana Petroleum Berhad, Tan Sri Nik Mohamed Bin Nik Yacob explains
that through the merger between Kencana Petroleum and SapuraCrest Petroleum, the
company will be able to combine the different strengths, capabilities and expertise of
Kencana Petroleum and SapuraCrest Petroleum. They aim to create Malaysia’s most
comprehensive oil and gas services provider and cover the entire scope of oil and gas services.

the Berantai RSC Project. SapuraCrest Petroleum is predominantly a transportation and
installation contractor whereas Kencana Petroleum is predominantly a major fabricator. Both
