KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 16): Kumpulan Kenderaan Malaysia Bhd (KKM) has ceased to be a substantial shareholder of Konsortium Transnasional Bhd, after selling 20 million shares, which is equivalent to a 4.96% stake, in the bus operator.
The shares were sold on Monday (Dec 14), according to Konsortium Transnasional s stock exchange filing. However, Konsortium Transnasional did not disclose the transaction price. The company s share price settled at 17 sen on Dec 14, which would value the lot it sold at an estimated RM3.4 million.
