For illustration purposes, had the fines been imposed on Dec 31, 2016, based on the latest audited financial statements for the financial year ended 2016, the net tangible asset per share as at Dec 31, 2016 would have decreased from S$6.34 to S$6.03. Had the fines been imposed on Jan 1, 2016, the earnings per share for the 2016 fiscal year would have dropped from 43.2 cents to 11.7 cents.

ReplyDeleteChow's case was made public after the US Justice Department announced on Friday that Keppel Offshore & Marine agreed to pay US$422 million to resolve investigations by authorities in the United States, Brazil and Singapore.
ReplyDeleteThe case centred on Brazil's state-run oil company Petrobras, also known as Petroleo Brasileiro SA, at the centre of a massive corruption investigation that has implicated dozens of Brazilian politicians.
The US Justice Department said from 2001 to 2014 Keppel paid US$55 million in bribes to officials at Petrobras and the governing political party at the time, the Workers Party of Brazil.
The bribes were paid to win 13 contracts with Petrobras and Sete Brasil Participacoes SA, a Brazilian company that commissioned a fleet of rigs for Petrobras' use, according to charging documents.
In the transcript of his Aug 29 plea, Chow said he drafted contracts with a Keppel agent in Brazil who he realised was being overpaid by millions of dollars so he could bribe Brazilian officials.
"I should have refused to draft the contract that we used for paying bribes and I should have resigned from Keppel," he said.
In total, Keppel Offshore & Marine earned US$351.8 million through the bribery scheme, according to court papers.
In its deal with the Justice Department, Keppel Offshore & Marine entered into a deferred prosecution while a US subsidiary pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
