The plan is to have two separate companies: the JV Technology Co and JV Operating Co whereby Genting Plantations will hold the majority 60% while SVST the remainder, it said in a Bursa announcement. The initial share capital of the joint venture companies shall be RM1,000 comprising 1,000 ordinary shares of RM1 each, it said. This will eventually rise to an intended paid up capital of RM210mil for the JV Technology Co and RM315mil for the JV Operating Co, it said.
