KUALA LUMPUR: Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Bhd is proposing to undertake a bonus share issuance of 4.038 billion new shares on the basis of one bonus share for every one existing share held, on a yet-to-be-determined entitlement date.
The company, which is Southeast Asia's largest aluminium smelter, said in a statement the bonus issue is to reward shareholders for their loyalty and continuous support as well as allow them to have greater participation in the group's equity while retaining their precentage of equity interest.
