Aspen (Group) Holdings Limited Announces Further Extensions on Land Payment and Joint Venture Unconditional Date

Key Developments

• Extension for Balance Cash Payment: Aspen (Group) Holdings Limited (“Aspen”) has announced a further extension for the payment of the Balance Cash Payment for a key land acquisition. The new deadline for this payment is now set to 28 February 2026, following mutual agreement among the involved parties.
• Extension of Unconditional Date for Proposed Joint Venture: Aspen has also confirmed the extension of the Unconditional Date for its proposed joint venture. The new Unconditional Date is also extended to 28 February 2026.

Details of the Extensions

1. Supplemental Agreement for Land Acquisition

The extension pertains to a Supplemental Agreement originally dated 1 July 2025, involving Aspen Vision Development Sdn. Bhd. (AVD), Aspen Vision Tanjung Sdn. Bhd. (AVT), and Hong Hong Distribution Sdn. Bhd. (HHD). The agreement covers the acquisition of a strategic land parcel. The deadline for the Balance Cash Payment has now been moved from its previous date to 28 February 2026.

Implications for Shareholders: The extension of time granted for the payment suggests that Aspen is actively managing its capital and cash flows. This could be interpreted as a prudent move to ensure sufficient liquidity, but investors should also monitor for any signs of financial strain or delays in project execution, which may have implications on the group’s medium-term financial outlook.

All other terms and conditions of the Supplemental Agreement remain unchanged and in full force.

2. Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) and Share Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement (SSHA)

AVT, a subsidiary of Aspen, has entered into a conditional Joint Venture Agreement and a Share Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement with Kerjaya Prospek Ventures Sdn. Bhd. (KPV) and Tanjung Bungah Development Sdn. Bhd. (SPV). The joint venture, which previously received shareholder approval on 24 October 2025, is tied to the registration of land titles to the SPV.

Owing to the need for additional time to complete the registration of the land titles, the parties have mutually agreed to extend the Unconditional Date for the JVA and SSHA until 28 February 2026.

Implications for Shareholders: The extension of the Unconditional Date may impact the timeline for project commencement and revenue realisation from the joint venture. Investors should take note that while the extension allows for due process in land registration, any further delays could affect the company’s growth trajectory and earnings visibility.

All other terms of the JVA and SSHA remain unchanged.

What Shareholders Should Note

• The extensions signal that both the land acquisition and the joint venture remain ongoing and are not at risk of termination, but they highlight a timing risk to project execution and earnings recognition.
• There are no changes to the substantive terms of the agreements, other than the extension of the key dates.
• Investors should watch for further announcements from Aspen, as additional updates or material developments may arise which could influence the share price.

Management Statement

Dato’ Murly Manokharan, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Aspen, has affirmed that the company will continue to keep shareholders and potential investors informed of any further developments regarding these agreements.

Conclusion

These extensions are significant as they may influence Aspen’s project timelines and financial performance in 2026. The market may react to the perceived risks and opportunities arising from these developments. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to stay vigilant for further updates from the company.
