Sinotop raises RM60.6m from rights issue

KUALA LUMPUR: Sinotop Holdings Bhd (the new-look JOHN MASTER INDUSTRIES BHD []) has raised RM60.6 million from its'' renounceable rights issue exercise.

It said on Friday, July 23 that at the close of acceptance, 98.72% of the 307.08 million rights shares offered had been subscribed. The total number of rights shares accepted and excess rights shares applied for totalled 303.16 million.
