PETALING JAYA: Karex Bhd has proposed to make Global Protection Corp (GP) its wholly owned subsidiary by acquiring the remaining 30% stake in the US-based condom maker that it does not already own.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the Malaysian condom manufacturer said it was looking to buy the additional 30% stake in GP for RM42.3mil to be satisfied entirely via the issuance of up to 82.93 million shares in Karex at an issue price to be determined later.
