KUALA LUMPUR: Sona Petroleum Bhd, which is making its second attempt at a qualifying acquisition (QA), has sweetened its proposed capital repayment that is conditional on shareholders approving its US$25mil (RM96.9mil) purchase of Stag Oilfield assets in western Australia.

The special purpose acquisition vehicle told Bursa Malaysia that under the revised plan from the management team, the proposed cash distribution had been fixed at 8 sen per share compared with 0 to 7.1 sen previously. This time the amount does not vary based on the level of share repurchase.

This means the total amount to be distributed will range from about RM68mil (in the case of 25% share repurchase) to RM90mil (without repurchase of Sona shares from dissenting shareholders) compared with 0 to RM80mil previously.
