On behalf of the Board, Maybank IB wishes to announce that given the recent changes to the Board as well as an indirect substantial unitholder of Hektar REIT pursuant to the passing of Dato’ Jaafar bin Abdul Hamid, the Company has decided to withdraw the application for the listing and quotation of the new Units to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue, Proposed Issuance to Manager and Proposed Authority on the Main Market of Bursa Securities (“Listing Application”) which was submitted to Bursa Securities on 2 November 2016 to allow the Board to address these developments. However, as the Board still intends to proceed with the Proposals, the Board expects to submit a new Listing Application to Bursa Securities no later than 20 February 2017. This Announcement is dated 14 February 2017. |
