PN17 Issuers

 

8.19​ ​Paragraph 2.1(c) of Practice Note 17 sets out a criterion of a winding up of the listed issuer's subsidiary or associated company which accounts for at least 50% of the total assets employed of the listed issuer on a consolidated basis ("Criterion 2.1(c)").
(a)If a winding-up order has been made against such subsidiary or associated company of a listed issuer but the winding-up order is either stayed or under appeal, will the listed issuer still be classified as a PN17 Issuer?
Yes, a stay order only has the effect of suspending the operation of the winding-up order. It does not change the fact that Criterion 2.1(c) has been triggered. Thus the classification as a PN17 Issuer will take effect. Similarly, if the winding-up order is pending appeal, the listed issuer will nonetheless be classified as a PN17 Issuer, pending the outcome of the appeal.
​(b)Will a winding-up order against a listed issuer, instead of such subsidiary or associated company of a listed issuer, trigger Criterion 2.1(c)?
No. However, pursuant to paragraph 16.11(2)(d) of the Main LR, Bursa Securities shall de-list a listed issuer where a winding up order has been made against the listed issuer itself.
