Further to my earlier article on bonus issue, reported in The Star:
 
“ Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd (Bursa Securities) has announced that public listed companies (PLCs) whose accumulated losses exceed their reserves are not allowed to undertake bonus issues “. 

Salient points extracted:

  • In a statement announcing amendments to its listing requirements and Mesdaq market listing requirements in relation to bonus issues.

  • Public listed companies were disallowed from undertaking bonus issues “if their accumulated losses exceed the reserves to be capitalised for the bonus issue”.
