KUALA LUMPUR: YNH Property Bhd
has decided to defer upcoming coupon payments under its perpetual securities issuance programme as a strategic move to conserve cash reserves.
“The deferral relates to coupon payments originally scheduled for Jan 30, 2026 in respect of PZ200008 and Feb 9, 2026 in respect of PZ190009. Notices of the coupon payment deferrals, together with the required compliance certificates, have been duly issued to the facility agent and trustee on Jan 23, 2026,” YNH said in a statement.
The perpetual securities were issued under a programme of up to RM750mil in nominal value, with RM263mil issued in August 2019 and RM87mil in July 2020.
“The group wishes to clarify that this deferral is a feature of the perpetual securities structure and does not constitute an event of default. Under the structure of the perpetual securities, the group has the flexibility to defer coupon payments in accordance with the trust deed,” it said.
Importantly, the deferred coupons are cumulative, meaning the unpaid amounts will still be paid later and are not written off.
YNH said the move was intended to preserve liquidity to support the group’s ongoing development projects and meet other financial obligations.
“The election to defer reflects a prudent approach to capital and liquidity management. By retaining cash within the group, YNH is prioritising the deployment of resources toward its ongoing development projects, income-generating assets, and operational requirements, supporting project continuity and long-term value creation for stakeholders,” it said.
