The Apex Securities Case deals with the course of judicial decision making that construed certain provisions of the Malaysian Companies Act 2016 in a manner that reverberated in the legal and capital market transactions. The Malaysian Court of Appeal decision resulted in much uncertainty over whether a company can enter into a conditional agreement subject to ratification by general meeting until the principles of interpretation of the relevant company law legislation was clarified at the Malaysian Federal Court. This seminar will share insights which will be invaluable to lawyers and corporate advisors from investment banking and capital market fraternity as Malaysia shares fundamental features of Hong Kong company law.
