In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, its management company Damansara REIT Managers Sdn Bhd announced that the trustee of the REIT AmanahRaya Trustees Bhd had entered into a conditional sales and purchase agreement with Johor Land Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johor Corp, for the purpose of the acquisition.
Note that Damansara REIT Managers is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johor Corp, and that Al-'Aqar is 36% owned by KPJ Healthcare Bhd.
The proposal is deemed to be a related party transaction (RPT).
