The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has announced a significant extension to the deadline for issuing Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) annual reports.
Previously set at two months after the financial year end, the new timeline now allows for a generous four-month window.
This adjustment brings the reporting timeline for listed REITs in line with that of public-listed companies (PLCs) on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Malaysia), granting them equal time for annual report issuance.
The move aims to ensure consistency across both types of entities, recognising the similarities in content requirements.
Despite the extended timeline, unit holders of listed REITs can still expect to receive financial information within two months after the REIT’s financial year end through its quarterly announcements on Bursa Malaysia.
