Malaysia.\u2013 Genting Berhad\u2019s MYR6.74bn (US$1.59bn) bid to take full control of its casino arm Genting Malaysia Berhad <\/a>has become unconditional<\/strong>. The conglomerate increased its stake from 49.36 to 50.11 per cent<\/strong> through open market purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cash offer of MYR2.35 (US$0.55) per share<\/strong>, representing a roughly 10 per cent premium over Genting Malaysia\u2019s last traded price before the announcement, will remain open to shareholders until November 24<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genting Berhad intends to delist the operator after nearly four decades on the stock exchange. Analysts say the consolidation could simplify decision-making as Genting Malaysia competes for a downstate New York full casino licence<\/a>. Maybank Investment Bank recently said Genting Malaysia is \u201cvirtually assured\u201d of winning a licence. <\/p>\n\n\n
