KUALA LUMPUR (April 26): Choo Bee Metal Industries Bhd has proposed to undertake a bonus issue of up to 21.98 million bonus shares on the basis of one-for-five existing shares held to reward shareholders, while enhancing its marketability and trading liquidity.

The entitlement date will be determined by the group later, according to its filing with Bursa Malaysia today.

As at April 24, being the latest practicable date (LPD), Choo Bee said it had 109.9 million (including treasury shares) shares in issue, and after the proposed bonus issue, the enlarged number of issued shares would amount to a minimum of 130.73 million and maximum of 131.88 million.

“For illustration purposes, based on the five-day volume weighted average price of Choo Bee shares up to and including the LPD of RM2.37, the theoretical ex-bonus share price of the shares is RM1.98,” the filing added.

Barring unforeseen circumstances and subject to approvals, the proposed bonus issue is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2018, Choo Bee added.

At the closing bell today, Choo Bee shares remained unchanged at RM2.29 each, valuing it at RM250.56 million.
