Berjaya Land Berhad

CORPORATE PROFILE

Berjaya Land Berhad

Berjaya Land Berhad ("B-Land") was incorporated in 1990 to implement the Restructuring Scheme undertaken by STM Lottery Sdn Bhd ("STM Lottery") (formerly known as Berjaya Sports Toto Berhad) whereby the entire paid-up capital of STM Lottery was acquired by B-Land. Simultaneously, B-Land made major acquisitions of various property and leisure activities which were funded via a Rights and Special Issue.

STM Lottery was incorporated in 1969 by the Malaysian Government for the purpose of running Toto betting under Section 5 of the Pool Betting Act, 1967. It was privatised in 1985 when its Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Dato' Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, through his private company acquired 70% of the paid-up capital. STM Lottery was listed on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad in July 1987.

Subsequently, in November 1987, RekaPacific Berhad (formerly known as Berjaya Industrial Berhad) ("RekaPacific") completed a general offer to STM Lottery which resulted in STM Lottery becoming a subsidiary of RekaPacific.

On 11 October 1996, Berjaya Group Berhad ("BGroup") completed the purchase of Teras Mewah Sdn Bhd ("TMSB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary company of RekaPacific. On 28 August 1996 TMSB completed the purchase of the entire shareholding in B-Land from RekaPacific comprising approximately 247.5 million ordinary shares, 49.8 million warrants and RM82.8 million Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks for a total consideration of approximately RM931.1 million. As a result, B-Land became a direct subsidiary of BGroup which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berjaya Corporation Berhad ("BCorp").

Today, the Group's core activities are as follows:

  • Gaming and Lottery Management;
  • Hotels, Resorts, Recreation Development and Vacation Timeshare;
  • Property Investment and Development;
  • Motor Retailing
