Menara Olympia deal aborted
The proposed disposal of Olympia Industries Bhd’s Menara Olympia to Jelita Timur Sdn Bhd for RM30.2 million has been aborted following the buyer’s withdrawal.

In a Bursa Malaysia filing on Aug 27, Olympia Industries said it will refund Jelita Timur the RM3.02 million deposit.

Olympia Industries had received a directive from Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd (BMSB) to conduct a second valuation of Menara Olympia, a property under its subsidiary Dairy Maid Resort & Recreation Sdn Bhd, and the adjoining leased car park by a professional valuer to be appointed by BMSB, in this case Rahim & Co.

“In view of the uncertainties regarding the transaction, the board of Olympia Industries has deliberated on the commercial and legal aspects of the transaction and has unanimously agreed that it is in the best interest of the company to mutually abort the transaction,” it said.
