KLOFFE, COMMEX Merger Progressing As Planned

Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) views with grave concern the highly inaccurate report on the merger between the Kuala Lumpur Options and Financial Futures Exchange (KLOFFE) and the Commodity and Monetary Exchange of Malaysia (COMMEX) published in an English language business daily yesterday. The report also made undue references to KLSE.

For KLOFFE, COMMEX and KLSE the merger negotiations are progressing as planned.

Any speculations or opinions on any aspects of the merger obtained unofficially or attributed to unnamed sources are unreliable, inaccurate and mischievous in intent.
