KUALA LUMPUR: Resorts World Bhd has proposed for a change of name to Genting Malaysia Bhd, its deputy chairman Tun Mohammed Hanif Omar said.
In a statement to Bursa Malaysia, he said the approval of shareholders for the change of name would be sought at a general meeting to be convened.
“The proposed corporate name change is to reflect the company’s country of listing, origin and current operations. As the company is a key subsidiary of Genting Bhd, the proposed change of name is also to reflect the direct relationship between the two entities,” he said.
He added the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) had approved the name change, and the change, if approved by shareholders, would be effective from the date of issuance of the certificate of incorporation on change of name by the CCM.
Meanwhile, another Genting group company, Asiatic Development Bhd, has also proposed to change its name, to Genting Plantation Bhd, its chairman Tan Sri Amin Mohd Osman said.
The company would also convene a general meeting to seek shareholder approval for the name change, he said.
“The proposed corporate name change is to reflect the principal activities of the company, which is primarily engaged in the commercial cultivation of oil palm and processing of palm products. As the company is a 54.7%-owned subsidiary of Genting Bhd, the proposed change of name is also to reflect the direct relationship with the holding company,” he said.
The CCM had also given its nod for the proposed name change, he said.
