The land acquisition will be funded through bank borrowings, together with a proposed rights issue with warrants on the basis of 2 rights shares with 1 free warrant for every 10 existing shares held, at an indicative issue price of RM1.00 per rights share. Controlling shareholders, represented by Dato’ Yap and his family, have given their commitment to grow the company, and undertaking to fully subscribe to their rights entitlement so as to minimise the funding risk.

It is also proposing to issue free warrants on a basis of 1 warrant for every 10 existing shares held for its future funding needs, and to reward existing shareholders for their ongoing support.

Yap said, “The proposed rights and warrants issues will provide the opportunity for minority shareholders to increase their participation in the future growth of Y&G. Overall, tapping the equity market for funds will also serve to enlarge our market capitalisation, encourage further market participation and improve trading liquidity in our stock.”

“This acquisition elevates us onto a new platform in property development. We will continue to actively seek out new landbank to expand on our existing development portfolio with a primary focus in the Klang Valley. Our aim is to grow ourselves into a sizeable listed property developer with a strong niche in quality affordable township developments, where we can be the market leader in whichever segment we commit ourselves to,” he added.
