Thirumalai Chemicals has informed the exchanges that its step-down subsidiary in Malaysia, Optimistic Organic Sdn. Bhd. (OOSB), is seeing poor performance in its Maleic Anhydride business. The weakness is attributed to tough market conditions in China and the Far East over recent years, compounded by the more recent impact of US and other tariffs. The company's Singapore-based subsidiary Cheminvest, which is the majority shareholder in OOSB, is now studying options such as full or partial divestment or a partnership to protect or enhance value. The company has committed to keeping shareholders, exchanges, and regulators updated on any progress.
This is a negative disclosure for investors in the short term, as it signals trouble in an overseas Maleic Anhydride asset and creates uncertainty about the group's international operations. However, management's willingness to explore divestment or partnership options may be seen as a responsible step to limit further value erosion.
