UMW-OG said it would first acquire government-linked private equity firm Ekuiti Nasional Berhad's (Ekuinas) indirect stake of 42.3 percent in Icon for new UMW-OG shares. It then plans to take over the remaining shares of Icon for 50 sen per share using either cash or new UMW-OG shares at 80 sen per share, the company said in a statement. Separately, state-owned conglomerate UMW Holdings - which owns a near 56 percent stake UMW-OG - said it would exit the oil and gas business by distributing UMW-OG shares to entitled shareholders.
