CIMB issues first Callable Bull Certificates in Malaysia

CIMB Bank Bhd has issued the first four Callable Bull Certificates (CBLC) in the country, on AirAsia Bhd, Gamuda Bhd, Genting Bhd and Berjaya Corp Bhd.

The certificates, which were recently incorporated in Bursa Malaysia's listing requirements, will start trading today.

While Call Bear/Bull Certificates (CBBC) are an established form of investment in mature financial markets such as Hong Kong and in Europe, it is relatively unknown in Southeast Asia.

"CBBC is a new investment vehicle, which gives fresh option to the equities market and brings greater depth to the structured warrants market," Bursa Malaysia Bhd chief executive officer Datuk Yusli Mohamed Yusoff said at the launch of the certificates in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

CIMB Bank plans to issue about four CBBCs a month progressively.

While CBLC bears similarities to call warrants, its main features are a Mandatory Call Event (MCE) and the fact that settlement is only done in cash.

A MCE is the issuers' right to call the CBBC, which leads to the suspension of the CBBC, should it reach the call price, prior to the expire date of the certificates.

For CBLCs, the call price is either at or above the exercise price of the underlying instrument.

If the call price or level is equal to the exercise price, investors will not receive any cash amount. If the call price/level is different from the exercise price, cash settlement will be done based on an established formula.

The call prices of AirAsia CBLC, Gamuda CBLC, Genting CLBC and BCorp CBLC are RM1.05, RM2.70, RM6.15 and RM1.06.

More than 50 per cent of the total structured warrants currently listed on Bursa Malaysia are issued by CIMB Bank.

Genting Singapore Plc is ready

Genting Singapore Plc is ready to start operating Singapore’s first legal casino as soon as the city state’s government issues its gaming licence, the company said today.

Genting Singapore’s stock added as much as 4 per cent this morning on speculation gambling may begin at the company’s Resorts World Sentosa complex as soon as February’s Chinese New Year holiday.

“We are ready,” Robin Goh, a spokesman for Resorts World, said. “We can open the casino as soon as we have the licence.”

Four hotels and 10 restaurants within the US$4.5 billion Sentosa island complex will begin accepting guests from January 20. A Universal Studios theme park in the complex is also waiting for a licence to operate, and will open as soon as that is issued, Goh said.



A second casino resort, the Marina Bay Sands, being built by Las Vegas Sands Corp, will open later after encountering construction delays. Singapore announced in April 2005 it was overturning a ban on casinos that had been in place since independence. Resorts World and Marina Bay are the only two casino developments approved so far.

“We believe they, Resorts World, will get their gaming licence before Chinese New Year,” Aaron Fischer, a gaming analyst at CLSA Asia Pacific Markets in Hong Kong, said in a telephone interview. “We expect gaming revenues to be bigger. There is a huge gaming market in Southeast Asia.”

In a report published last month, CLSA Asia Pacific Markets said it estimates Resorts World’s gaming revenue to rise from US$2.5 billion this year to US$3.8 billion by 2013. The Singapore casino market will generate US$3 billion in revenue this year, growing to US$6 billion in 2013, CLSA said in the report.

Genting Singapore gained 3.2 per cent to S$1.29 as of 2:30 pm in Singapore. The stock climbed 200 per cent in the past year, compared with a 67 per cent gain for the benchmark Straits Times Index. -- Bloomberg
