 "As at the date of this announcement, the necessary regulatory approvals for the Proposed Acquisition are still pending. Hence, given that the Rights Issue is conditional upon the Proposed Acquisition, the Company has not been able to implement the Rights Issue," RHB said. RHB plans to acquire 80% shares of Bank Mestika Dharma for Rp3.19 trillion. RHB has also proposed a put and call option for 9% shares of Bank Mestika. To finance the acquisition, RHB planned to issue new shares worth RM1.3 billion. (Indonesia Today)
