KUALA LUMPUR:\u00a0YB Ventures Bhd<\/a>\u2019s rights issue of irredeemable convertible unsecured loan stocks (ICULS) at 4 sen per rights share was oversubscribed by 46.6%.<\/p>\n

In a statement Monday, YB Ventures said the 1.2 billion ICULS will be listed and quoted on the main market of Bursa Securities on Sept 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe group will raise about RM48.4mil, exceeding the minimum subscription level to be raised of RM7.5mil,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The valid acceptances and valid excess applications totalled 1.77 billion rights shares, compared with the 1.21 billion made available for subscription.<\/p>\n

Of the total oversubscribed rights shares, 1.06 billion or 87.8% are valid acceptances, while the remaining 710.34 million or 58.8% are valid excess applications.<\/p>\n

Executive director Datuk Au Yee Boon said the overwhelming response was an encouraging indication by its shareholders on the group\u2019s business fundamentals and future perspectives, to further grow its market share and bottom line.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are on the right track in implementing our strategic transformation plan, and I am positive that the group may even achieve its internal targets ahead of our expectations as we step up our momentum,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYB Ventures seeks to expand its production capacity and capitalise on the recovery of its operating markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nearly RM49mil raised from the ICULS issuance will provide adequate support to achieve these objectives,\u201d Au said.<\/p>\n

He explained that shareholders who wish to convert the ICULS could either opt to top up 44 sen to convert (RM0.48 \u2013 RM0.04 ICULS issue price), or surrender 12 ICULS for one new YB Ventures share.<\/p>\n
