Chapter six of Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market and ACE Market listing requirements (LR) covers issues related to issuance of new securities involving placements of shares, rights issues, bonus issues, share issuance schemes, dividend reinvestment, issuances of debt securities, redeemable preference shares and convertible securities and other forms of securities that are being issued by a listed company.
One of the popular ways to raise funds for a listed issuer is via private placement of shares. Of course, to do so, the listed issuer would have to first obtain the mandate of its shareholders as required under Section 75 and Section 76 of the Companies Act, 2016.
