It had earlier obtained shareholders approval for a larger rights issue to raise up to RM300 million and a special issue of RM200 million as part of its restructuring scheme. The one for one rights of 414 million shares are priced at RM0.28 per share, to raise RM116 million with a similarly priced special issue to raise RM50 million.
