KUALA LUMPUR (April 6): Advancecon Holdings Bhd's agreement with Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd to develop a rooftop solar power system at the latter's outlet in Bandar Seremban Utama, Negeri Sembilan has been terminated.

In a bourse filing yesterday, the company announced that its memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Advancecon Solar Sdn Bhd and Mydin was mutually terminated last Friday after taking into consideration the infeasibility of the project.

"Upon the termination, the MoU shall have no further force or effect and neither party shall have any claim whatsoever against the other, whether directly or indirectly in respect of the MoU.

Under the preliminary agreement, Advancecon Solar was to also undertake a feasibility study on five other Mydin hypermarkets.

Subsequently, it was to proceed with negotiating on further terms relating to the project.

Shares in Advancecon closed 2.6% or a sen higher at 39.5 sen yesterday, valuing it at RM164.25 million.
