GuocoLand's (SGX:F17) Malaysia-listed unit, GuocoLand (Malaysia) (KLSE:GUOCO), filed a formal petition with the High Court of Malaysia to confirm its proposed share capital reduction and repayment framework, according to a Thursday filing.
The court application, submitted on June 4, serves as the primary legal step remaining to execute the company's privatization via a selective capital reduction mechanism.
This follows the property developer's shareholders approving the proposed privatization of the company at an extraordinary general meeting held on May 29.
