In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Capital A said the AAAGL disposal was completed on Jan 16, 2026, following the settlement of the disposal consideration through the allotment and issuance of 2.31 billion consideration shares by AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) to Capital A and its entitled shareholders under the distribution.

“The AAX placement shares and the consideration shares (including the distribution shares) will be listed and quoted on the Main Market of Bursa Securities on Jan 19,” it said. 

Capital A also said the reduction of its issued share capital by RM2.74bil pursuant to the distribution took effect following the lodgement of the sealed High Court order with the Companies Commission of Malaysia on Jan 16.
