SC says it will uphold takeover rules, regulations


The SC's focus will be on the timely and adequate disclosure of information to the shareholders.

The statement from the SC came three days after Gateway Development Alliance Sdn Bhd (GDA) – the consortium led by Khazanah Nasional Bhd – lowered the self-imposed acceptance threshold for the takeover to 85% from 90%.
