In a statement to Bursa Malaysia on Thursday, Encorp said the exercise will be undertaken via indirect unit Encorp Systembilt Sdn Bhd (ESSB)
“The proposed ESSB Sukuk Murabahah issue will be issued in one lump sum and in tranches with tenures of up to 16 years from the issuance date. The profit rates for each tranche of the proposed ESSB sukuk Murabahah issue shall be determined prior to the issuance,” Encorp said.
