Khee San's underwriting deal for rights issue lapses after delay in prospectus registration
KHEE San Bhd (KSB) has terminated its underwriting agreements for a proposed rights issue with warrants, after failing to register the abridged prospectus with the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) by the stipulated deadline of July 4, 2025. In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the confectionery group said its agreements with M&A Securities Sdn Bhd, Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd and Malacca Securities Sdn Bhd – signed in November 2024 and later supplemented – have ceased to be in force. As a result, all underwriting obligations have lapsed. 'The board will deliberate on the new underwriting arrangement(s) in respect of the rights issue with warrants and will make the necessary announcements in due course,' the company said. The rights issue forms a key component of KSB's broader regularisation plan, which includes a scheme of arrangement, share capital reduction, an employees' share scheme, and amendments to its corporate structure. The group fell into Practice Note 17 (PN17) status in November 2021 and is seeking to restore its financial position and preserve its listing status on Bursa Malaysia. As part of the proposed rights issue, KSB had planned to issue up to 960.96 million new shares and 549.12 million warrants on the basis of four warrants for every seven rights shares subscribed. Priced at 10 sen per rights share, the exercise was expected to raise between RM65 million (minimum scenario) and RM96.1 million (maximum scenario). KSB previously described the underwriting agreement as a sign of stakeholder confidence in its recovery. Its executive chairman Yong Loong Chen said in a statement in November 2024 that the company had delivered seven consecutive quarters of profits and outlined plans to accelerate growth both locally and internationally. Proceeds from the fundraising were earmarked to increase production capacity via new high-speed manufacturing lines, expand distribution to markets such as New Zealand, Mauritius and Taiwan, and support the launch of new products. M&A Securities is the principal adviser for the rights issue. –TMR
