KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 7): MCT Bhd said Philippine-listed Ayala Land Inc, its major shareholder via Regent Wise Investments Ltd (RWIL), intends to explore options to boost MCT's public shareholding spread.
As at Feb 5, MCT's public shareholding spread stood at 24.65%, according to MCT's Bursa Malaysia filing today. This does not comply with the Main Market listing requirements, which specified at least 25% of a company's listed shares must be in the hands of public shareholders.
KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 5): MCT Bhd has received notice of an unconditional take-over offer at 88 sen per share from Philippine-listed Ayala Land Inc, after the latter raised its stake in MCT to 50.19%.
This came after the share purchase agreement for the stake buy became unconditional today following the receipt of a waiver from Bursa Malaysia, MCT said in a stock exchange filing.
As such, Ayala, which is undertaking the takeover via its wholly-owned unit Regent Wise Investments LTd (RWIL), is obliged to extend the takeover offer.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, MCT said the selling price was agreed between both parties after taking into consideration loss-making One City Properties' net asset value of RM3.5 million as at Nov 27.
KUALA LUMPUR: MCT Bhd’s new chief executive officer is confident that the group will continue to achieve growth despite the softer property market, as the sector still offers opportunities.
“When people tell me the property market here is still soft, I look around and see cranes all over the place constructing buildings,” said Jose Juan Z Jugo. “So, if the market is still not as strong as before, the point is that there is still growth.”
