    As such, the Company had on 28 June 2007 applied to Bursa Securities for an extension of time of one (1) year up to 30 June 2008 to comply with the Required Public Shareholding Spread.

    On 13 July 2007, the Company announced that its public shareholding spread according to the Record of Depositors of EFMB as at 29 June 2007 was 49.15% in the hands of 496 public shareholders holding not less than 100 shares each.
