Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad (MRCB) has entered into a share sales agreement with Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad (PHB) to acquire the latter’s 51% equity interest in a joint venture firm.

The firm, Penang Sentral Sdn Bhd, was set up to implement the Penang Sentral project.

Under the recent agreement, PHB agreed to sell its stake in Penang Sentral Sdn Bhd to MRCB for a total consideration of RM50.75 million.

With the agreement, Penang Sentral Sdn Bhd will become a wholly owned subsidiary of MRCB.

MRCB Group managing director Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din said in a statement that this initiative would give the Penang Sentral project a boost.

“It will help us come up with a definite timeline and completion period,” he said.
