1MDB Says It's in Default After Missing Interest Payment
2016-04-26 01:32:23.129 GMT
By Shamim Adam
(Bloomberg) -- 1Malaysia Development Bhd. said it didn't pay $50 million of interest on a $1.75 billion bond amid a dispute with Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund on who should be making the payment.
The company said it's withholding an interest payment because Abu Dhabi's International Petroleum Investment Co., which is the co-guarantor of the bonds maturing in 2022, hadn't met the obligation either, according to an e-mailed statement ahead of a deadline on Monday night in New York.
"Whilst 1MDB has the funds to have made the interest payment, it is 1MDB's position, as a matter of principle, that it was IPIC's obligation to do so," the company said. "Until IPIC accepts that all obligations have been met, 1MDB is obliged to withhold payments and will seek legal recourse and resolution."

The share price rose 9 sen or 2.34% to close at RM3.93 yesterday, after reaching its intra-day high of RM4.
The syariah-compliant financial services provider for Islamic banking, takaful and stockbroking saw interest in its shares increased despite the lack of new announcement.

BIMB's fourth quarter financial year ended Dec 31, 2015 (4QFY15) saw an increase of 5.17% in net profit to RM161.9 million from RM153.9 million in the same corresponding period a year ago. The group's revenue rose 16.12% to RM884.3 million in the 4QFY15 from RM761.5 million in 4QFY14.
The better performance for the quarter was mainly due to higher income derived from investment of depositors and shareholders' fund as well as higher net income from its Takaful business.
For the full financial year 2015 (FY15), its net profit grew 2.81% to RM547.28 million from RM532.33 million in FY14 while revenue improved 11.45% to RM3.31 billion from RM2.97 billion in FY14.
On its prospect for FY16, BIMB said that Bank Islam will continuously focus on preserving capital, robust liability management and safeguarding asset quality while constantly drive earnings stability.
