Landmarks Berhad
Proposed issue of RM185.0 million nominal value
redeemable secured serial bonds
Further to our announcement dated 10 September
2001, Landmarks is pleased to announce that, Ikatan Perkasa
Sdn Bhd ("IPSB"), its wholly owned subsidiary, proposes
to proceed with the issue of RM185,000,000 nominal value redeemable
secured serial bonds ("Bonds") upon varied terms.
The initial issue was re-considered following
the events of September 11, 2001, but Landmarks is now confident
of the marketability of the Bonds. The Bonds of RM 185,000,000
will be fully subscribed on a 'bought-deal' basis by Malaysian
International Merchant Bankers Berhad, as the primary subscriber.
The Bonds are expected to be issued by middle
of May 2002 and will have maturities ranging from 2.5 years
to 7 years from the date of issue.
IPSB may at any time prior to the maturity
date, purchase the Bonds by tender for cancellation from the
open market. Bonds with a maturity in excess of 5 years are
also callable at the end of year 5 based on a formula payable
at the time redemption is made.
The Bonds will be fully subscribed by the Primary
Subscriber, Malaysian International Merchant Bankers Berhad,
who may offer the Bonds to persons whom an offer or invitation
to subscribe or purchase the Bonds would constitute an excluded
invitation pursuant to Section 38 and an excluded issue pursuant
to Section 39, and an issue, offer or invitation specified
under Schedule 2 and Schedule 3 of the Securities Commission
Act 1993. The Bonds will not be listed on any exchange.
The Bonds will constitute direct, unconditional
and secured obligations of IPSB ranking pari passu without
any preference or priority amongst themselves.
