KUALA LUMPUR: Renewable energy (RE) company reNIKOLA Holdings Sdn Bhd has a new substantial shareholder – B.Grimm Power Malaysia Sdn Bhd, a 100%-owned subsidiary of B.Grimm Power Public Company Ltd.
In a statement on June 13, reNICOLA Holdings said B.Grimm now owns 45%-interest in the enlarged share capital of reNIKOLA Holdings pursuant to the completion of subscription of new shares by B.Grimm Malaysia in the latter.
“B.Grimm Malaysia entered into a subscription agreement on Nov 10, 2021 with reNIKOLA shareholders and reNIKOLA Holdings for the subscription of new ordinary shares representing a 45% stake in the enlarged share capital of reNIKOLA Holdings for up to RM367 million in cash, with an initial subscription of RM152.5 million,” it said.

“Combining their expertise with our local knowledge and network, we are confident we can accelerate our expansion plans to be a formidable RE force. In addition, the first cash injection of RM152.5 million into our coffers gives us a major shot in the arm, enabling us to fast-track our initiatives,“ he said. - Bernama
