SubjectARTICLE ENTITLED
"A clean slate - DRB-HICOM merger plan will reduce debts and improve cash flow"

Contents :

According to the article, the statement was reportedly made by "a local brokerage firm" commenting on the estimated proceeds to be received by the DRB-HICOM group which includes the proceeds of about RM300 million from the sale of Credit Corporation (Malaysia) Berhad (CCM) to Hong Leong Bank Berhad (Hong Leong).


In response, we wish to confirm that Gadek Capital Berhad has announced the proposed merger between CCM and Hong Leong on 24 February 2000.

However, we are currently not in a position to provide further information on the said proposed merger as approvals from the relevant authorities are still pending.
