Details of the Proposed Privatisation

GuocoLand (Malaysia) Berhad has issued a notice to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) for the consideration of a Special Resolution. This resolution pertains to the proposed privatisation of GLM through a Selective Capital Reduction and Repayment Exercise under Section 116 of the Companies Act 2016.

The privatisation move, if approved, would result in the company being delisted from Bursa Malaysia, and shareholders (other than the offeror and persons acting in concert) will be entitled to receive a cash payout for their shares as part of the capital reduction and repayment exercise.

Potential Price-Sensitive Information

• Privatisation Proposal: The announcement of a proposed privatisation is a significant, price-sensitive event, as it may lead to a re-rating of the shares up to the proposed cash offer price, pending further details of the scheme and offer price per share.
• Shareholder Action Required: Shareholders are required to vote on the Special Resolution at the EGM. The outcome of the vote will directly impact the future listing status of GLM and the value to be realised from their holdings.
• Record Date Importance: Only shareholders on the record as of 21 May 2026 are entitled to vote and participate in the selective capital reduction and repayment exercise. Investors should ensure their holdings are registered by this date to be eligible.

Implications for Investors

The proposed privatisation, if successful, will result in the delisting of GuocoLand (Malaysia) Berhad from the stock exchange. Investors will need to evaluate the offer price (to be detailed in the full EGM circular) against the current market price and the company’s intrinsic value. Acceptance of the proposal generally means shareholders will no longer participate in the future growth of the company post-privatisation, but will instead receive a cash payout.

Investors should also monitor for further announcements from the company, including the detailed terms of the capital reduction and repayment exercise, the offer price per share, and any independent advice circulars.

Conclusion

The upcoming EGM and the proposed privatisation exercise are highly material to the valuation and future of GuocoLand (Malaysia) Berhad. Shareholders are strongly advised to review all related documents and attend or vote at the EGM to ensure their interests are represented.
