PETALING JAYA:
A substantial shareholder of EA Holdings Bhd, an ICT business solutions provider, is seeking the removal of six directors, to be replaced by four new candidates.

The group’s filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday stated that the board of directors had received a special notice on July 21 from one Ng Cheng Shin to move resolutions seeking boardroom changes at the group’s upcoming extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on Aug 22.

Ng claims to hold at least 10% of the company’s stake.

The notice he sent sought to remove Sobri Saad, Basir Bachik, Azahar Rasul, Abdul Fattah Yatim, Choo Seng Choon, Wong Wan Rou and any persons appointed as director to EA Holdings from July 21 up to the upcoming EGM, with immediate effect.

Three of the mentioned names – Basir, Fattah and Azahar – were re-elected as directors during the group’s annual general meeting on March 22. Wong was appointed as executive director on June 9.

Furthermore, Ng seeks to appoint three individuals – Chin Yew Thong, Adrian Foong Heng Nian and Teh Chee Chong – and himself as the group’s new directors effective immediately.

In the filing, EA Holdings said it will require time to verify Ng’s identity and shareholdings, and will make a further announcement in the event of a material development.

As at 10.05am, EA Holdings’ share price doubled to 0.5 sen, giving it a market capitalisation of RM32.26 million.
