EMAS said its stake in Perisai is worth US$11 million based on market prices. The agreed price of US$56 million is based on the cost of EMAS's investment at inception. EMAS, an offshore contractor, will use the proceeds of the sale to pay debt.

Perisai owns 15 oil and gas vessels and facilities supporting the offshore oil and gas industry.

Ezra is also an offshore contractor.
