The recapitalisation also includes a proposed asset injection involving selected property-related assets valued at up to RM50 million, to be acquired by Ireka at a "mutually agreed discounted valuation based on an independent assessment".
In a filing on Thursday, the Practice Note 17 (PN17) company said it also faces delisting on Oct 7 unless an appeal is lodged with the bourse regulator before Oct 2.
Ireka said the default relates to financing facilities originally granted to its former wholly owned subsidiary, Ireka Engineering & Construction Sdn Bhd, which has since been wound up.
The property developer said its wholly-owned unit United Time Development Sdn Bhd is being sued by Kejuruteraan Berpadu Maju Sdn Bhd.
On Wednesday, Ireka received an UMA query following a sharp rise in its share price and volume.
The termination proposal was triggered by the lapse of a project operation agreement between main contractor MTD Construction Sdn Bhd and Sabah-based Gammerlite, which was terminated on June 30 due to Gammerlite’s failure to secure the necessary funding.
Ireka had in February 2022 triggered the PN17 criteria, as the shareholders' equity of the group was 50% or less than its share capital.
"Following several discussions with the bank, the company is currently in the midst of negotiation with the bank to honour the court order," Ireka added.
"IDTSB is currently negotiating a settlement plan with EPF to resolve the amount claimed under the writ," it said.
