PASDEC-WA, the company warrant of Pasdec Holdings Berhad created history when the warrant received a takeover offer prior to it being listed on Bursa Malaysia.  PASDEC-WA was given as a free sweetener for shareholders of the company to take up the recently completed right issue of Pasdec.  Pasdec raised RM40 million in the recently completed rights issue undertaken on a two for five basis with each rights share attached with a free warrant at an issue price of 35 sen each.  However, Jasa Imani Sdn Bhd, a substantial shareholder of Padec, triggered a mandatory general offer (MGO) condition when it ended up with 38.6% of the company from 28% prior to the rights issue as a result of it taking up the excess rights following the failure of Pahang State Development Corporation to take up its entitlement of the rights issue.  Jasa Imani had earlier provided an undertaking to subscribe all rights share not taken up to ensure full subscription of the rights issue.  Jasa Imani offered 52.5 sen per offer share and 1 sen per offer warrant under the MGO.   PASDEC-WA ended the first day of trading on 11 July at 13 sen, far above the MGO price.

The share price of Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (Pantech) had held up relatively well this year despite the weakness in the general equity market due to the uncertainty before and after the general election as well the lacklustre equity market performance worldwide.  This could be attributed to the recovery in oil price which has been instrumental in charting a significant recovery in earnings for the group.  While the price of mother share remained at about the same level compared with a year ago, the company warrants of Pantech had not been faring as well with both PANTECH-WA and PANTECH-WB suffering drops of 18% and 28% respectively over the last 52 weeks.

CCK-WA, the new company warrant of CCK Consolidated Holdings Berhad (CCK), made its debut at Bursa Malaysia on 26 June 2018.  This warrant was issued free to shareholders of CCK in the company recently completed share split and bonus warrants exercise.  Under the exercise, CCK subdivided every 1 share into 2 shares.  Following the share split, the company issued free warrants to shareholders on the basis of 1 warrant for every 2 shares held after the split.  In spite of the general weakness in the equity market, the share price of CCK has been on a rising trend in the last one year.  CCK share price hit a high of RM1.025 (adjusted for split and bonus) on 8 June before retreating slightly to 92 sen after the new subdivided shares and warrants started trading.
