Dijaya aborts Mongolia property venture
Dijaya Corp Bhd has aborted a plan to acquire the remaining 75% of Mongolian property development holding company Transglobal Ltd (TGL). It is also selling the 25% stake it already owned.
Dijaya said on June 7 that it and vendor Winmark Holdings Ltd had agreed to terminate their sale and purchase of share agreement dated April 7, 2010, for the 75% stake for US$35,000 (RM116,900) due to “non-satisfaction with the results of the financial due diligence conducted on TGL”.
Simultaneously, Dijaya entered into another agreement with Winmark to dispose of a 25% stake in TGL to the latter for US$12,500 cash.
TGL was to undertake the development of an 8.03-acre tract in Bayanzurkh District, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, for US$174 million worth of apartments, shop units and luxury apartments.
