On this PN17 thingy: does anyone know how it works?
Is it the company that declares itself in PN17 (like Chapter 11 in the States) or is it Bursa Malaysia that forces/declares the company in PN17?
PN 17 only means the company is Insolvent (not enough liquid cash)
PN 17 entails loads of restrictions like monthly reporting, regularisation plan/proposal and close monitoring by Bursa, failing the conditions set out in the announcement... OilCorp may end up being booted from the Exchange.
Chap 11 is similar to our winding up/bankruptcy actions

NEW UPdate - looks like bad news.
Interest default has changed to default on loan - this means the Lenders have (or at least going to) deployed their weapons of massive destruction, all other creditors will start knocking on OilCorps door very soon.
that is if talking fails to coax the Lenders into extending its grace period...

The company, which defaulted on a loan, said it will appoint a principal adviser shortly as it continues talks with its lenders.
It does not have a formal plan at present to address its financial condition, it said in a statement. - Bloomberg
