Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition amends underwriting agreement terms

In a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd. (NASDAQ:BUJA), a blank check company with a market capitalization of $54.4 million, announced an amendment to its underwriting agreement that will alter the deferred underwriting commissions related to its initial public offering (IPO). According to InvestingPro data, the company's stock is currently trading at $13.14, having gained 8.6% year-to-date.

The amendment, signed on April 3, 2025, modifies the original underwriting agreement dated June 27, 2023. The change sees the deferred underwriting commission rates decrease from 2% to 1.6% for both the Firm Units and the Option Units. This adjustment will reduce the total deferred commission payable at the closing of the Business Combination with Global IBO Group Ltd. ("GIBO") from a potential maximum of $1,150,000 to $920,000, should the Over-Allotment Option be exercised in full.

This decision comes as part of the company's ongoing preparations for its business combination with GIBO, a transaction that has been detailed in previous SEC filings, including a proxy statement filed on March 12, 2025. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company maintains a FAIR financial health score, though its current ratio of 0.19 suggests potential liquidity challenges. Investors should note that the company's next earnings report is scheduled for April 10, 2025. Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition's latest financial statements and other relevant documents are available for public access on the SEC's website.

The company's statement also included a caution regarding forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from projections. Investors are encouraged to review the company's filings, including the "Risk Factors" section in its Annual Report and other disclosures related to the proposed business combination.

Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition operates in the real estate and construction sectors and is incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
