Zetrix AI Bhd (KL:ZETRIX) has not set the issue price for new shares that will make up most of the RM130 million payment for its planned purchase of a 50% stake in MyEG Ventures Inc, citing recent volatility in its share price.

With the share price falling sharply, the company said the price remains undecided and will be announced later.
