(v) Encumbrances

The Subscription Shares shall be issued free from all charges, liens, pledges, and other encumbrances.

(vi) Termination and remedies

In the event of default by a party, the non-defaulting party shall have the right to require the defaulting party to remedy the breach within 14 days, failing which the non-defaulting Party shall be entitled to claim for either specific performance of the SSA, or terminate the SSA by notice in writing and upon such termination, the defaulting party shall pay to the non-defaulting party all costs incurred by non-defaulting party relating to and in connection with the SSA, after which the non-defaulting party shall have no other claim whatsoever against defaulting party save and except for any antecedent breaches.

2.4 Basis and justification for the Subscription Amount

The Subscription Amount is arrived at upon considering the funding requirement of CGEM and its subsidiaries (collectively, "CGEM Group") as set out in Section 3 of this Announcement.

The issue price per Subscription Share of RM2.56 was arrived at on a willing buyer, willing seller basis after taking into consideration, among others, the CGEM Group's NA based on its unaudited financial statements for the FYE 31 December 2025 of RM1.41 million, the CGEM Group's unaudited profit after tax for the FYE 31 December 2025 of approximately RM1.06 million, as well as the CGEM Group's earnings prospects, additional capital expenditures investments required, and potential business growth arising from the materialisation of projects under LAWI and the Bio-CNG project.

The Subscription Amount of RM4.00 million for a 43.86% equity interest in CGEM translates to an implied valuation of approximately RM9.12 million for CGEM Group on a 100% basis. This represents a price-to-book (P/B) multiple of approximately 6.47 times over CGEM Group's unaudited NA as at 31 December 2025 of RM1.41 million and a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of approximately 8.60 times based on CGEM Group's unaudited profit after tax for its FYE 31 December 2025 of approximately RM1.06 million.

The implied P/E multiple of 8.60 times falls within the range of P/E multiples of 4.78 times to 29.44 times of selected listed peers operating in the waste-to-energy, biomass and biogas industry, as set out below:

Comparable companies Closing share price (RM) Market capitalisation (RM million) P/E multiple (times)

2. Kinergy Advancement Berhad 0.385 841.25 29.44
3. BM GreenTech Berhad (formerly known as Boilermech Berhad) 1.110 763.45 14.94
4. Wasco Berhad 0.840 650.42 4.78

  1. UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS

The Subscription Amount will be utilised by CGEM Group for the following purposes:

(i) up to RM2.00 million for working capital requirement for LAWI to fund existing and new project undertakings;
(ii) up to RM1.00 million for preliminary/initial expenses to be incurred for the Bio-CNG project such as fees to be incurred for consultants, advisers, professionals, and the relevant technical and feasibility studies; and
(iii) up to RM1.00 million for general working capital for CGEM Group, including for staff related costs and other operating and administrative expenses.

  1. RATIONALE OF THE SHARE SUBSCRIPTION

The Share Subscription provides an additional avenue for the CGEM Group to raise funds to support ongoing business operations and capitalise on its next phase of growth, supplementing the existing capital support provided by Citaglobal.

As the CGEM Group is currently in its growth stage, continuous capital injection is essential to maintain its operational trajectory and prepare for future expansion.

Pursuant to discussions with TIZA Global, TIZA Global has agreed to provide the necessary funding via equity injection without requiring Citaglobal to provide additional capital, which would enable Citaglobal to preserve and deploy its available financial resources to support the growth and requirements of its other core business divisions.

Furthermore, raising equity capital through the Share Subscription enables the CGEM Group to secure the necessary funding without incurring additional financing costs or debt servicing obligations arising from procuring external bank borrowings, thus preserving CGEM Group's cash flows and profit margins.

  1. RISK FACTORS

5.1 Dilution of interest and potential earnings reduction

Upon completion of the Share Subscription, Citaglobal's equity interest in CGEM will be diluted from 100.00% to approximately 56.14%. As a result, the future earnings of CGEM Group attributable to Citaglobal will be proportionally reduced based on the revised shareholding.

In view of the equity dilution, the Board will proactively manage and strategically deploy the available funds into other projects, with the objective of generating optimal and additional returns for the shareholders of Citaglobal.

5.2 No assurance of guaranteed return

There is no assurance that CGEM Group will achieve its projected financial performance following the capital injection from the Share Subscription. The operational and financial performance of the CGEM Group remains subject to prevailing business, regulatory, and market risks inherent in the environmental management industry. These risks include, but are not limited to, changes in government policies, shifting environmental regulations, market competition, and broader macroeconomic conditions.

Notwithstanding these inherent risks, the Board will continue to actively monitor and manage these risk exposures. Furthermore, the Board will work closely with the management of the CGEM Group to ensure the strategic and effective utilisation of the subscription proceeds to mitigate downside risks.


  1. EFFECTS OF THE SHARE SUBSCRIPTION

The pro forma effects of the Share Subscription in this section are illustrated based on the following scenarios:

(i) Minimum Scenario: Based on the assumption that none of the outstanding irredeemable convertible preference shares in Citaglobal constituted by the Constitution of Citaglobal, expiring on 5 May 2031 ("ICPS-A"), series B irredeemable convertible preference shares in Citaglobal constituted by the Constitution of Citaglobal, expiring on 29 January 2029 ("ICPS-B"), 10-year warrants (2021/2031) in Citaglobal constituted by the deed poll dated 24 March 2021, expiring on 5 May 2031 ("Warrants B"), and 3-year warrants (2025/2028) in Citaglobal constituted by the deed poll dated 17 April 2025, expiring on 12 May 2028 ("Warrants C") (the ICPS-A, ICPS-B, Warrants B and Warrants C are collectively defined as "Convertible Securities") are converted/exercised into new ordinary shares in the Company ("Shares") prior to the completion of the Share Subscription.

(ii) Maximum Scenario: Based on the assumption that all the outstanding Convertible Securities are fully converted/exercised into new Shares prior to the completion of the Share Subscription.

6.1 Share capital and substantial shareholders' shareholdings

The Share Subscription will not have any effect on the issued share capital and the substantial shareholders' shareholdings in Citaglobal as the Share Subscription does not involve any issuance of Share.

6.2 Earnings and earnings per share

The Share Subscription is not expected to have any material effect on the earnings of the Citaglobal Group and the earnings per Share for the financial period ending 30 June 2026.

The Subscription Amount received by CGEM from the Share Subscription is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of CGEM Group and Citaglobal Group, in view of the utilisation of proceeds as set out in Section 3 of this Announcement.
