KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 14): Binasat Communications Bhd has proposed a private placement to raise as much as RM23.3 million to fund its working capital, mainly for the group's fibre optic telecommunications network supporting services.

The placement will entail the issuance of up to 64.71 million shares to third party investors, the telecommunications support services provider said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.

Based on an illustrative issue price of 36 sen, the exercise is expected to raise up to RM23.3 million, of which RM21.82 million will be used for working capital consisting of payments for subcontractors (RM9.32 million) and purchases of raw materials (RM12.5 million).
