Proposed Sale of Treasury Shares
Aseana Properties Limited (LSE: ASPL), a property developer in
Malaysia which is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock
Exchange, announces its intention to raise funds by way of a
private placement of the shares of US$0.05 each in the capital of
the Company currently held in treasury by the Company (the
"Treasury Shares") (the "Treasury Share Sale").
The Treasury Shares represent 6.7 per cent. of the issued share
capital of the Company and the Company intends to use the net
proceeds from the Treasury Share Sale for general working capital
purposes and to repay its debt obligations as they arise.
The Treasury Share Sale will be effected by way of a private
placement which will be launched immediately following this
announcement (the "Private Placement"). The final number of
Treasury Shares to be sold and the price at which the Treasury
Shares are to be sold will be agreed by the Company at the close of
the Private Placement process. The timing of the closing of the
Private Placement and the distribution of allocations are at the
discretion of the Company and a further announcement confirming
these details is expected to be made in due course. The Company
reserves the right to close the Private Placement without further
notice. There can be no certainty that the Treasury Share Sale will
complete.
