Hi guys, Irfan Razak here ⚖️ Today’s insight that I would like to share with you is on the topic of “what is meant by Corporate Exercises?” 1. Corporate exercises refer to specific strategic activities or transactions undertaken by a company to achieve various business objectives. 2. There are few elements of a corporate exercise, among others: a) Strategic objective: with a goal to raise the capital, restructuring debt, or expanding operations. b) Financial activities: include actions like private placements, share buybacks, and dividend distributions to manage and optimize a company's financial resources. c) Regulatory compliance: ensuring all exercises comply with legal and regulatory requirements to uphold corporate governance standards and protect shareholder interests. d) Structural changes: such as mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, and capital reductions to reorganize the company’s structure for better efficiency or market positioning. 3. There are few examples of corporate exercises that could be seen in Malaysia: a) Share Buyback: Top Glove Corp. Bhd. has been particularly active buying back its stock on September 2020 onwards, spending about RM634.2 million. b) Capital Reduction: Proton Holdings improved financial health in 2017. c) Debt Restructuring: Malaysia Airlines announced negotiations over restructuring 16 billion ringgit ($3.9 billion) in 2020 for financial stability. Hope it helps! Thank you. #ProfessionalGrowth #Atopicaday #Malaysiancorporatelaw

Peter Burke, the Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, has officially signed the EU Foreign Subsidies Distorting the Internal Market Regulations 2024. This crucial legislation supports the EU Regulation designed to maintain a level playing field for all companies operating within the Single Market while ensuring that the EU remains open to trade and investment. The EU Regulation particularly focuses on high-value mergers and acquisitions as well as public procurement contracts. It grants the European Commission the authority to investigate financial contributions provided by non-EU governments to companies active in the EU. This move is a significant step towards fair competition and transparency in our market. By addressing potential distortions caused by foreign subsidies, we can ensure a more balanced and equitable environment for businesses to thrive.
