GLLM moves to seize total control of GuocoLand Malaysia

The subsidiary will be privatised through a selective capital reduction and repayment exercise.

GLL (Malaysia) Pte. Ltd. (GLLM) has launched a bid to privatise its subsidiary—GuocoLand (Malaysia) Berhad (GLM)—through a selective capital reduction and repayment exercise valued at approximately $86.92m (RM269.45m).

In a proposal moving the developer toward a delisting from Bursa Malaysia, GLLM—which currently holds a 65.03% stake in the company—offered to acquire the remaining 34.97% of shares it does not own.

Under the terms of the proposal, entitled minority shareholders will receive $0.35 (RM1.10) in cash for every ordinary share held, according to a press release.

The offer price represents a 17.65% premium over GLM’s last traded price of $0.30 (RM0.9350) on 30 January 2026.

The offer is more pronounced when measured against longer-term trading averages, representing a 47.73% premium over the stock’s six-month volume-weighted average market price of $0.24 (RM0.7446).

GLLM said in the filing that the proposed privatization provides an opportunity for the entitled shareholders of GLM to exit and realise their holdings at a premium over the market price.

Intending to be the sole shareholder, GLLM has given the Board of GLM until 2 March 2026 to consider the proposal.

If successful, GLM will be delisted from the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

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.
