KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 29): My EG Services Bhd (MyEG) is planning a bonus issuance of one bonus share for two existing shares held to reward shareholders and increase its share capital to reflect its current scale of operations and assets employed.

MyEG said this would entail an issuance of up to 1.2 billion shares.

Its existing issued and paid-up share capital is RM240.4 million, comprising 2.4 billion shares, including its 3.5 million treasury shares as at Aug 26, 2016, the latest practicable date (LPD) prior to the announcement.

This will be increased to as much as RM360.09 million, comprising 3.61 billion shares, upon completion of the bonus issuance.

It said the proposed bonus issue shall be wholly capitalised from the retained earnings accounts of the company.

“Purely for illustrative purposes only, based on the closing market price of MyEG Shares as at the LPD of RM2.03, the theoretical ex-bonus price of MyEG shares after the proposed bonus issue is RM1.35,” it said.

Subject to approvals being obtained, the board expects the proposed bonus issue to be completed by the first quarter of 2017.

MyEG closed up four sen or 1.97% at RM2.07, valuing it at RM5 billion.
