KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 20) : Perak Transit Bhd (PTRANS) plans to issue next month RM300 million worth of Sukuk Murabahah to which United Overseas Bank (M) Bhd (UOB Malaysia) will become the sole subscriber.

“The proceeds will be used to refinance existing borrowings, to finance the company’s capital expenditure and working capital for existing and new projects,” it said.

According to managing director, Datuk Seri Cheong Kong Fitt the IMTN programme will help the company reach its next level of growth as well as to drive cost efficiency through lower financing cost which will enable PTRANS to deliver more value to its new and existing shareholders and stakeholders.
