The Board of Directors of Patimas wishes to announce that Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) had via its letter dated 19 November 2013 notified the Company that Bursa Securities noted that Patimas had failed to submit a regularisation plan to Bursa Securities for approval within 12 months from the Company’s First Announcement in accordance with paragraph 8.04(3)(a)(i) of the Bursa Securities Main Market Listing Requirements (“Main LR”) i.e. on or before 31 October 2013 and further, Patimas’ application for an extension of time to submit the regularization plan was rejected, as communicated by Bursa Securities to the Company on 19 November 2013.
In the circumstances and pursuant to Rule 8.04(5) of the Main LR,:-
(a) the trading in the securities of the Company will be suspended with effect from 27 November 2013; and
(b) the securities of the Company will be de-listed on 29 November 2013 unless an appeal against the de-listing is submitted to Bursa Securities on or before 26 November 2013 ("the Appeal Timeframe"). Any appeal submitted after the Appeal Timeframe will not be considered by Bursa Securities.
In the event the Company submits an appeal to Bursa Securities within the Appeal Timeframe, the removal of the securities of the Company from the Official List of Bursa Securities on 29 November 2013 shall be deferred pending the decision on the Company’s appeal.
With respect to the securities of the Company which are currently deposited with Bursa Malaysia Depository Sdn Bhd ("Bursa Depository"),the securities may remain deposited with Bursa Depository notwithstanding the de-listing of the securities from the Official List of Bursa Securities. It is not mandatory for the securities of a company which has been de-listed to be withdrawn from Bursa Depository.
Alternatively, shareholders of the Company who intend to hold their securities in the form of physical certificates, can withdraw these securities from their Central Depository System (CDS) accounts maintained with Bursa Depository at anytime after the securities of the Company have been de-listed from the Official List of Bursa Securities. This can be effected by the shareholders submitting an application form for withdrawal in accordance with the procedures prescribed by Bursa Depository. These shareholders can contact any Participating Organisation of Bursa Securities and/or Bursa Securities’ General Line at 03-2034 7000 for further information on the withdrawal procedures.
Upon the de-listing of the Company, the Company will continue to exist but as an unlisted entity. The Company is still able to continue its operations and business and proceed with its corporate restructuring and its shareholders can still be rewarded by the Company’s performance. However, the shareholders will be holding shares which are no longer quoted and traded on Bursa Securities.
This announcement is dated 19 November 2013.
