The regulator said with the completion of Comintel’s private placement, the company’s regularisation plan has been completed.

Shareholders of plantation group Harn Len Corp Bhd have given their approval for the eight-for-five bonus issue of 399.24 million shares.

All shareholders who attended the EGM, who collectively held 140.34 million shares, voted for the bonus issue.  

Ireka Corp Bhd is still working on a regularisation plan to address its financial condition after the construction company’s admission into the Practice Note 17 (PN17) list of Bursa Malaysia on March 1.

KAF Investment Bank Bhd is the principal adviser assisting Ireka in the regularisation plan.
