KUALA LUMPUR (July 1): Digital payment solutions provider PUC Bhd (KL:PUC) said it has entered into a deal to sell some of its software and intellectual property (IP) rights for RM22 million cash.

The group's subsidiary Presto Technology Sdn Bhd is disposing of the software and IP — which includes patents, copyrights and trade secrets — to G Solution Tech Sdn Bhd, according to PUC's filing on Monday.

“The proposed disposal is in line with the business direction of PUC and its subsidiaries to streamline its operation in order to focus on business and ventures which are viable and profitable in the future and will not affect PUC Group’s existing operation,” it said.

The total cost of investment for the software and IP rights was RM26.86 million, with a net book value of RM22.39 million, said PUC, adding that the estimated loss from the disposal is RM400,000.

PUC said the disposal is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2025, and the proceeds will be used for general working capital.

Shares of PUC closed half a sen or 9.09% lower at five sen, valuing the group at RM102.82 million.
