6) MRCB

SC has, via its letter dated 10 July 2014, declined the proposed ruling that MRCB, MSP, Quill Land Sdn Bhd, Quill Properties Sdn Bhd, Quill Estates Sdn Bhd and QRHSB are not regarded as persons acting in concert in relation to QCT pursuant to the Proposals (“PAC Group”).

 

As the PAC Group is expected to hold more than 33% of the enlarged outstanding units of QCT upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, a mandatory offer obligation under the Malaysian Code on Take-Overs and Mergers 2010 (“Code”) would be triggered.

 

In light of the above, an exemption will be sought under the Code from the obligation to carry out the mandatory offer.

 

7) Market: Barring externalities, the market is likely to continue to trade within the trading band of KLCI 1875-1900.
