Unless otherwise stated, the terms stated herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the earlier announcements.
The Board of Directors of Advancecon wishes to announce the following additional information:-
The High Court has partially allowed the Plaintiffs’ claim by granting general damages only and has dismissed the Plaintiffs’ claim for special damages of RM3,966,065.18 and the claims for aggravated damages and exemplary damages. However, the quantum of general damages has not been assessed at this stage and will be determined after the filing of additional written submissions by the parties. The Court is scheduled to deliver its decision on the assessment of the quantum of general damages on 3 February 2026. The Court has awarded costs of RM20,000.00 to the Plaintiffs.
As the quantum of general damages has yet to be assessed and the sealed judgment remains pending, there is presently no financial or operational impact on the Advancecon Group at this juncture.
This announcement is dated 23 January 2026. |
