The existing general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares will expire at the conclusion of the AGM. Accordingly, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to seek the approval from Shareholders for the granting to the Directors of general mandates authorising them to:
(i) exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution;
(ii) repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution; and
(iii) subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to approve the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM, extend the Issue Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
With reference to the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares or repurchase any Shares pursuant thereto. The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that the public holding of Shares would be reduced below 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.
The explanatory statement providing the requisite information regarding the Repurchase Mandate as required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with article 108 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.
At the AGM, Dato' Tan Mein Kwang, Ms. Chui Sin Heng and Mr. Yu Cheeric will retire and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.
In considering and approving the re-election of Ms. Chui Sin Heng and Mr. Yu Cheeric, the retiring independent non-executive Directors, the nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") had reviewed and assessed the independence of Ms. Chui Sin Heng and Mr. Yu Cheeric based on the independence guidelines as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Each of Ms. Chui Sin Heng and Mr. Yu Cheeric has also confirmed that he/she fulfils all the requirements set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee is satisfied that each of Ms. Chui Sin Heng and Mr. Yu Cheeric remains independent. Mr. Yu Cheeric is the chairman of the Nomination Committee and Ms. Chui Sin Heng is a member of the Nomination Committee, and they did not vote in the resolutions in connection with his/her own re-election.
In addition, the Nomination Committee had considered a wide range of diversity perspectives as set out in the board diversity policy of the Company including but not limited to gender, age, skills, experience, background and time commitment. Ms. Chui Sin Heng has over 18 years of experience in finance and accounting and Mr. Yu Cheeric has over 26 years of experience in auditing, advisory business services and finance management, which enable each of them to provide professional, valuable, independent and objective view to the Board on the matters relating to the business of the Group. The Nomination Committee considered that the knowledge and experience of Ms. Chui Sin Heng and Mr. Yu Cheeric would continue to bring contribution to the diversity of the Board.
Taking into consideration of the foregoing, the Nomination Committee proposed Ms. Chui Sin Heng and Mr. Yu Cheeric to stand for re-election as independent non-executive Directors at the AGM.
The details of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The following is the explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to be provided to the Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors at the AGM.
LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution in a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was 5,000,000,000 Shares, of which a total of 628,000,000 Shares were issued and fully paid.
Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase and cancel a maximum of 62,800,000 Shares during the period from the date of the AGM up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of such authority by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.
REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FUNDING AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
Any repurchase of Shares will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, any repurchases by the Company may be made out of profits of the Company, out of the Company's share premium account, out of proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, out of capital. Any amount of premium payable on the purchase over the par value of
— 8 —
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
the Shares to be repurchased must be paid out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, out of capital.
As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company were made up), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/ it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors will, so far as the same may be applicable, exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association. The Company confirms that the explanatory statement set out in this Appendix I contains the information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules and that neither the explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has unusual features.
EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Directors' exercising the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and, if such increase results in a change of control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for Shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, MBV Capital Limited ("MBV Capital") was interested in 431,300,000 Shares, representing approximately $68.68\%$ of the total issued Shares of the Company. MBV Capital is ultimately wholly owned by Dato' Tan Meng Seng, Dato' Tan Mein Kwang and Mr. Tan Beng Sen, who are deemed to be interested in the Shares in which MBV Capital is interested in under Part XV of the SFO. On the basis that there will be no further issue or repurchase of Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the AGM, the beneficial interests of MBV Capital in the issued Shares of the Company would increase to approximately $76.31\%$ if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full and the Shares being repurchased were cancelled.
— 9 —
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The Directors are not aware of any consequence under the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made under the Repurchase Mandate and have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as to result in takeover obligations.
The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate if the repurchase would result in the number of Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the Listing Rules).
SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
SHARE PRICES
The Shares are trading on the Stock Exchange and the highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange since April 2024 and up to the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:
