Y&G Corp aborts land buy in Johor

PETALING JAYA: Y&G Corp Bhd has terminated the acquisition of two pieces of land measuring 23.39ha in Pontian, Johor for RM30.96 million.
The property developer said in a filing with the stock exchange that its wholly owned indirect subsidiary Melia Aktif Sdn Bhd (MASB) decided not to proceed further with the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) dated Aug 26, 2015 as the conditions precedent as stated in clause 5.1 had not been fully complied with.
“Hence, MASB via its solicitors had, on June 14, 2018, served the vendors’ solicitors a notice of its decision to exercise its right to discontinue with the purchase hereof and in terminating the said SPA summarily in pursuant to clause 5.2 of the SPA.”
Following the termination notice, Y&G said the vendors will refund to MASB the deposit of RM3.1 million free from interest within 14 days from the notice.
