HONG KONG (Reuters) - Shares in China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Ltdtumbled 18 percent on Monday after the U.S. securities regulator accused a company controlled by the shipbuilder"s chairman of insider trading ahead of China"s CNOOC Ltd"sbid for Canadian oil company Nexen Inc.Labourers work at a Rongsheng Heavy Industries shipyard in Nantong, Jiangsu province May 21, 2012.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in a U.S. court on Friday against a company controlled by Rongsheng Chairman Zhang Zhirong, and other traders, accusing them of making more than $13 million from insider trading ahead of CNOOC’s $15.1 billion bid for Nexen.

On Monday, Rongsheng shares dropped as much as 18 percent to HK$1.15, a record low, leaving the company with a market capitalization of just over $1 billion. The company also issued a profit warning, saying first-half earnings would fall sharply as a result of a global shipbuilding downturn, a factor that has already pushed its shares down more than 75 percent in the past year.

“Since weak earnings had been expected and the stock had already come down quite a bit, the early selling was mainly triggered by the insider trading probe,” said Steven Leung, a director at UOB Kay Hian.

“Investors are very sensitive to this kind of news and they simply unloaded their stakes on the worry that they will not be able to exit their investment if the company involved gets suspended,” he said.

Rongsheng - which entered a strategic cooperation agreement with CNOOC in 2010 - said in a Hong Kong filing that it did not expect the U.S. investigation to affect its operations. It said Zhang did not have an executive role in the company.

The SEC does not allege any wrongdoing by Zhang, but notes that he is the controlling shareholder of a company that engages in significant business activities with CNOOC. CNOOC in Beijing has declined comment on the matter.

“The news around the chairman comes on the back of other operational and credibility issues,” Barclays said in a note to clients. “We think China Rongsheng presents significant company-specific risk.”

The SEC said on Friday that a federal court in Manhattan had frozen assets worth more than $38 million belonging to Hong Kong-based Well Advantage, controlled by Zhang, and other unnamed traders who used accounts in Hong Kong and Singapore to trade in Nexen stock.

They made trading profits of $7 million and $6 million respectively using inside knowledge of the merger to buy Nexen shares before the announcement, the SEC alleges.

Zhang was ranked the 22th richest Chinese person by Forbes Magazine in September 2011. But his net worth fell by more than half in the past year to $2.6 billion in March 2012 as shares of Rongsheng tumbled.

Shares of Glorious Property Holdings Ltd, a Chinese real-estate developer in which Zhang has a 68 percent stake based on a December 2011 filing, also fell sharply. The stock fell as low as HK$1.12, down 15 percent from Friday.

The unnamed Singapore traders used accounts in the names of Phillip Securities and Citibank C.N, while Well Advantage made its trades through accounts held at UBS Securities and Citigroup Global Markets. Neither of the Well Advantage accounts had traded Nexen shares since January 2012, and the Citigroup account had been completely dormant for over six months, the SEC says.

SHANGHAI, Oct 30 (Reuters) - China Rongsheng, the country’s largest private shipbuilder, has secured a cash lifeline that could be worth up to HK$3.23 billion dollars and is looking to change its name to reflect its shift into oil exploration.

Shares in heavily indebted Rongsheng, which were suspended on Aug. 29 after the company said it was in the process of restructuring, surged almost 17 percent higher after trading resumed on Thursday. They reversed gains, and were down 3.7 pct by 0217 GMT.

Rongsheng said late on Wednesday it would issue warrants worth HK$510 million to a Cayman Islands-incorporated investment firm wholly owned by private equity investor Wang Ping, which would entitle subscribers to buy up to 1.7 billion new shares at HK$1.60 each.

This would raise about HK$3.23 billion for Rongsheng, it said. A warrant entitles the holder to buy stock from the issuer at a specific price within a time frame.

The price of the new shares is at a 17.65 percent premium to Rongsheng’s closing price of HK$1.36 per share on Aug. 28, when it last previously traded. It said the subscription shares represent 19.36 percent of the firm’s issued share capital.

Rongsheng, which builds Brazilian miner’s Vale mega-iron ore carriers, came close to insolvency last year before clinching an agreement with banks to extend its loans until end-2015.

As one of the Jiangsu region’s largest employers, the firm has received copious support from the government, which is currently helping Rongsheng with its restructuring.

Rongsheng also said it had signed a debt agreement with a syndicate of domestic banks in Anhui province that would extend its debt payments to the end of 2015.

The firm, which bought a 60 percent stake in an oil exploration company in Kyrgyzstan, also said it was proposing to change its name to China Huarong Energy Company to reflect its expansion into the energy service sector to counter the slump in the shipbuilding industry.

The company, which on Oct. 17 posted a net loss of 3.36 billion yuan ($549.6 million) for the first nine months of the year, said four out of five new oil wells in its Kyrgyzstan project have received satisfactory results in oil production.

Rongsheng has been one of the most prolific casualties of the global shipping slump. The industry is still trying to shake off a glut of ships ordered before the crisis which has sunk freight rates and caused many shipbuilding orders to be delayed or cancelled.

(Bloomberg) — China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Ltd., which hasn’t announced any 2012 ship orders, may find winning deals even harder as a company owned by its billionaire chairman faces an insider-trading probe.

China’s biggest shipbuilder outside state control tumbled 16 percent yesterday in Hong Kong after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said traders including Chairman Zhang Zhi Rong’s Well Advantage Ltd. made more than $13 million of illegal profits buying shares of Nexen Inc. ahead of a takeover announcement by CNOOC Ltd. The SEC also won a court order freezing about $38 million of the traders’ assets.

The investigation may deter customers from placing orders, Jon Windham, an analyst at Barclays Plc., said yesterday by phone. “It’s obviously very bad for the overall image of the company.” He downgraded the stock to underweight from equalweight and cut its target price to HK$1.06 from HK$2.40.

Rongsheng, based in Shanghai, has tumbled 87 percent since a November 2010 initial public offering because of concerns about delivery delays and a global slump in ship orders caused by a glut of vessels. The shipbuilder, which operates facilities in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, also said yesterday that first- half profit probably dropped “significantly” because of falling prices and slowing orders.

The demand slump has pushed new-ship prices to an eight- year low, according to shipbroker Clarkson Plc. Chinese shipyard orders plunged 49 percent in the first half.

The probe won’t affect day-to-day operations run by Chief Executive Officer Chen Qiang, as Chairman Zhang only has a non- executive role, Rongsheng said in a statement yesterday. Zhang wasn’t available for comment yesterday, according to Doris Chung, public relations manager at Glorious Property Holdings Ltd., a developer he controls.

Chen isn’t aware of Zhang’s personal business dealings and he has no plans to leave Rongsheng, he said yesterday by text message in reply to Bloomberg News questions. The CEO may help reassure potential customers as he is well-known among shipowners, said Lawrence Li, an analyst at UOB Kay Hian Holdings Ltd.

Zhang owns 46 percent of Rongsheng and 64 percent of Glorious Property, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The developer dropped 1.7 percent to close at HK$1.16 in Hong Kong today after falling 11 percent yesterday. Zhang’s listed holdings are worth about $1.2 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Zhang, who holds a Master’s of Business Administration degree from Asia Macau International Open University, started in building materials and construction subcontracting before getting into real estate. Construction of his first project, in Shanghai, began in 1996, according to Glorious Property’s IPO prospectus. He got into shipbuilding after discussing the idea with Chen at a Shanghai Young Entrepreneurs’ Association event in 2001, according to Rongsheng’s sale document. He formed the company that grew into Rongsheng three years later.

“People in his hometown think Zhang is a legend as he expanded two companies in different sectors so quickly,” said Ji Fenghua, chairman of Nantong Mingde Group, a shipyard located next to Rongsheng’s facility in Nantong city, Jiangsu province. The billionaire maintains a low profile, said Ji, who has never seen him at meetings organized by the local government.

Rongsheng raised HK$14 billion in its 2010 IPO, selling shares at HK$8 each. The company’s market value has fallen by about $6.1 billion to $1 billion, based on data compiled by Bloomberg.

The shipbuilder has had delays as it builds 16 of the world’s biggest commodity ships for Vale SA and Oman Shipping Co. It was supposed to hand over eight of the ships last year, according to its IPO prospectus. Instead, it only delivered one. It had handed over two more to Vale by May 20. The same month, it christened two for Oman Shipping, Xinhua reported.

The company’s cash reserves have also declined. It had 6.3 billion yuan of cash and cash equivalents at the end of December down from 10.4 billion yuan a year earlier. Its short-term borrowings rose to 18.2 billion yuan from 10.1 billion yuan, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Rongsheng, which also makes engines and excavators, had outstanding orders for 98 ships as of June 2012, according to Clarkson. It employed 7,046 people at the end of last year, according to its annual report. The shipbuilder has built a pipe-laying vessel for Cnooc and it has a strategic cooperation agreement with the energy company.

Well Advantage and other unknown traders stockpiled shares of Nexen before Cnooc announced plans to buy the Calgary-based energy company for $15.1 billion, according to the SEC. The regulator acted to freeze accounts less than 24 hours after Well Advantage placed an order to liquidate its position, it said. The investigation continues, it said July 27.

The traders may have to pay multiples of the profit they made from illegal deals to settle the case, based on previous incidents, said David Webb, the founder of corporate-governance website Webb-site.com. The frozen accounts may make a settlement more probable as the traders won’t be able to access cash, he said. Still, there may be a long-term impact on reputations.

“Cases such as this bring the integrity of the persons involved into question,” Webb said. “And, if they are running a bank or a listed company, then it tends to tarnish the firm too.”

HANGZHOU, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- The Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal invested by ENN Group, a Chinese private energy company, began operations with Friday"s arrival of a ship loaded with 69,000 tonnes of LNG from Australia.

The terminal is in the city of Zhoushan, which houses China (Zhejiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone. Its operations testify to the great potential in the fields of oil and gas trade both at home and abroad for private companies.

The company also signed purchase contracts involving about 1.75 million tonnes of LNG annually, according to Ma Shenyuan, the company"s senior vice president.

The private sector has gradually become a major actor in the domestic and global oil trading industry, contributing to innovation and development in management of crude trading as well as ensuring the stable supply of domestic crude oil, said Li Chenggang, China"s assistant commerce minister, at the second International Petroleum and Natural Gas Enterprises Conference held in Zhoushan Thursday.

Currently, an environment-friendly petrochemical base, with an investment of 173 billion yuan from Zhejiang Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (ZPC), a mixed-ownership venture, is under construction in Zhoushan. It will form a crude oil refining capacity of 20 million tonnes by the end of the year and the capacity will increase to 40 million tonnes by 2020, according to Yuan Jiajun, governor of Zhejiang Province.

"Policies, including allowing social capitals to invest in the base and its projects and loosening restrictions on the rights to import crude oil and to use imported crude oil help attract the non-public sector into the petrochemical industry and promote the industrial transformation and upgrade," said Shou Baichun with the Rongsheng International Trade Co., Ltd., one of the initiators of ZPC.

Shares in China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Ltd tumbled 18 per cent on Monday after the U.S. securities regulator accused a company controlled by the shipbuilder"s chairman of insider trading ahead of China"s CNOOC Ltd"s bid for Canadian oil company Nexen Inc.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint in a U.S. court on Friday against a company controlled by Rongsheng Chairman Zhang Zhirong, and other traders, accusing them of making more than $13-million (U.S.) from insider trading ahead of CNOOC"s $15.1-billion bid for Nexen.

On Monday, Rongsheng shares dropped as much as 18 per cent to $1.15 (Hong Kong), a record low, leaving the company with a market capitalisation of just over $1-billion. The company also issued a profit warning, saying first-half earnings would fall sharply as a result of a global shipbuilding downturn, a factor that has already pushed its shares down more than 75 per cent in the past year.

"Since weak earnings had been expected and the stock had already come down quite a bit, the early selling was mainly triggered by the insider trading probe," said Steven Leung, a director at UOB Kay Hian.
