Bursa Malaysia |
Lay Hong Berhad (LHB) |
Bursa Malaysia has reprimanded LHB and imposed a total fine of RM750,000 on its eight executive directors: 1. Yap Hoong Chai 2. Yap Chor How 3. Ng Kim Tian 4. Yeap Weng Hong 5. Yeap Fock Hoong 6. Cheng Chin Hong 7. Gan Lian Peng 8. Tan Ooi Jin
for breaching the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia, as LHB announcements dated 3 November 2015 and 19 January 2016 were not accurate, balanced and fair and failed to contain sufficient information to enable investors to make informed investment decisions as the announcements did not disclose and in fact denied an impending corporate exercise involving amongst others, a proposed bonus issue, share split and issuance of free warrants.
