Macau Legend Development Ltd has confirmed the final results of its fully underwritten rights issue, with just under half of the new shares subscribed by existing shareholders and applicants for excess shares.

The update was announced after all conditions under the prospectus and underwriting agreement were satisfied, allowing the issue to become unconditional on January 16 2026.

They and their sub-underwriters will collectively hold 16.84% of the enlarged share capital once the Rights Shares are issued.
