Details of the Extension
Aspen (Group) Holdings Limited has officially announced that its associate, Rivanis Ventures Sdn. Bhd., and RAC have mutually agreed to extend the period to execute the Definitive Agreement until 30 April 2026.

The extension was deemed necessary to provide both parties with additional time to finalize the Definitive Agreement and its supporting appendices. Furthermore, it allows RAC the opportunity to obtain the required board approvals for the finalized agreement and related transaction documents.
Save for the extension of the agreement period, all other terms and conditions set out in the original HOA remain unchanged. This continuity ensures the ongoing commitment of both parties to the previously agreed-upon framework.
