Advanced Systems Automation to buy Auramas shares

The proposed acquisition offers an opportunity for the company and its subsidiaries to expand their customer base.

The board of directors of Advanced Systems Automation Limited announced that the company had, on 20 September 2012, entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with Cheah Siew In for the acquisition of its legal and beneficial interest in 45% of the issued shares in the capital of Auramas Teknologi Sdn. Bhd.

Auramas is a company incorporated in Malaysia with an authorised share capital of RM5 million and an issued share capital of RM1.5 million.

Auramas is primarily involved in the business of providing thermal coating, surface finishing of electronics products, and specialised electroplating of semiconductor products services.

The Directors believe that the proposed acquisition will extend the Group’s core competency in its Equipment Contract Manufacturing Service business as the principal activities of Auramas are complementary to the Group’s ECMS business.

The consideration for the proposed acquisition is RM7.7 million.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
