- Their subscription will amount to RM377mil, which will also be the minimum proceeds level. The maximum level totals RM966.8mil. About a third of the proceeds will be used to pare down borrowings within 12 months, and the bulk of it will be for capital expenditure.

- Sunway’s medium- and long-term prospects largely hinge on its planned development of its 1,770 acre-landbank in Iskandar Malaysia, which will be developed over a 15-year period, with a potential GDV of RM30bil.

- The group also has 88 acres of undeveloped landbank in Bukit Lenang in Johor Bahru. Given the size of the planned development in Iskandar Malaysia and close proximity to Singapore, take-up rates would be highly dependent on the participation of foreign buyers.

- Sunway’s maiden project in Johor will be on an 88-acre parcel in Taman Molek in Bukit Lenang, near Johor Baru city comprising 50 to 100 units of bungalows priced at between RM1.3mil and RM1.5mil in a gated and guarded community. It is scheduled to be launched this month.
