BANPU SECURES TAKEOVER LOAN - BANGKOK POST


Bangkok Post reported that, Banpu Plc, Asean's largest coal miner, has secured loans worth US$2 billion from Thai and foreign banks to proceed with its takeover of Sydney-based Centennial Coal Co, which Banpu shareholders approved yesterday.

Chief executive Chanin Vongkusolkit said the company expected to complete its tender offer for the remaining 80.1% of Centennial by the end of September or early October at the cost of A$2.017 billion or 55.29 billion baht.

Banpu earlier acquired 19.9% of Centennial for A$380 million. On July 5, Banpu announced it would buy all of the ordinarily shares of the Australian company that it does not already control at the price of A$6.2 per share.

Mr Chanin said yesterday that the takeover would be completed after Australia's general election on Aug 21, adding that he expected the new Australian government would welcome the deal.

The company expected to book revenue contributions from Centennial in the fourth quarter of this year, he added.

Centennial, with 10 mines, has marketable coal reserves of 386 million tonnes as of June 30 this year. Banpu, which operates coal mines in Indonesia and China, has reserves of 318 million tonnes.

Shareholders yesterday also approved the management's plan to issue additional debentures worth up to 20 billion baht with maturities of up to 15 years.

Mr Chanin said Banpu would issue some debentures later this year in multiple tranches to either refinance debts or fund its acquisition of Centennial.

Banpu was confident that 2010 revenue would beat forecasts despite lower production at the Daning mine in Shanxi province due to a licence renewal delay.

The company on Monday revised down forecast production of the Chinese underground mine by 10%, resulting in expected lower net profit of $10 million. It has annual capacity of 4 million tonnes.

Mr Chanin also said the company's Jorong mine in Indonesia would resume operations in late September after being halted since February by the government because of forest encroachment. Authorities have been working with miners to clarify new operating rules.

"Indonesian coal mines are our major revenue contributor. The [total] coal sales target has been maintained at 23 million tonnes this year," he added.

CIMB-GK Securities (Thailand) has downgraded Banpu's 2010 net profit forecast by 1.4% to 14.6 billion baht following the revision of the Daning figures.

BANPU shares closed yesterday on the SET at 620 baht, down 10 baht, in trade worth 793.3 million baht.
