SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore-based oilfield service firm Ezion Holdings Ltd said it is proposing a rights issue to raise as much as about S$141.3 million ($105 million).
Funds raised from the issue could be used to help fit out and re-purpose its fleet, buy marine assets and boost operational flexibility, it said in a statement late on Thursday.
It proposed issuing up to 487.3 million rights shares at S$0.29, or a discount of about 44 percent to its closing price on Thursday.
In a separate statement, Ezion said it had set up a joint venture company with a Chinese state-owned enterprise for the chartering of service rigs to support the offshore wind farm market.
