2.3 Profit guarantee
In consideration of MBGB acquiring the Sale Shares, THW irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to MBGB the following guaranteed adjusted consolidated net profit after tax ("Adjusted NPAT") ("Guaranteed NPAT") for the Target Group:-
| Period | Guaranteed NPAT
RM | Cumulative Guaranteed NPAT
RM | Annual Pledged Shares
Number | RM |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027
("PG FYE 2027") | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | 6,077,081 | 972,333 |
| 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2028
("PG FYE 2028") | 2,850,000 | 4,850,000 | 8,659,844 | 1,385,575 |
| 1 July 2028 to 30 June 2029
("PG FYE 2029") | 3,150,000 | 8,000,000 | 9,571,406 | 1,531,425 |
| 1 July 2029 to 30 June 2030
("PG FYE 2030") | 3,350,000 | 11,350,000 | 10,179,113 | 1,628,658 |
| 1 July 2030 to 30 June 2031
("PG FYE 2031") | 3,650,000 | 15,000,000 | 11,090,681 | 1,774,509 |
| | 15,000,000 | | 45,578,125 | 7,292,500 |
PG FYE 2027, PG FYE 2028, PG FYE 2029, PG FYE 2030 and PG FYE 2031 shall be collectively referred to as the "Relevant Financial Years".
Guaranteed NPAT for the Relevant Financial Years shall be collectively referred to as the "Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT".
"Annual Pledged Shares" means pledged Consideration Shares for each Relevant Financial Year.
For information, the financial year end of the Target Group is 31 December. It is the intention of MBGB to change the Target Group's financial year end to 30 June to be aligned with the MBGB and its subsidiaries' ("Group") financial year end.
The Adjusted NPAT for each Relevant Financial Year shall be determined solely by reference to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Target Group for that year, adjusted only in accordance with the SSA.
As security for the performance of the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT, MBGB and the Vendor agree that 45,578,125 Consideration Shares (equivalent to RM7,292,500 in value) ("Pledged Consideration Shares") shall be deposited with a stakeholder to be nominated by MBGB to act as an escrow agent ("Escrow Agent").
The salient features of the Aggregated Guaranteed NPAT are as follows:-
(I) The release of Pledged Consideration Shares shall be determined as follows:
(i) if the cumulative Adjusted NPAT (being aggregate of the Adjusted NPAT from PG FYE 2027 up to and including the relevant Relevant Financial Year ("Cumulative Adjusted NPAT")) as at the end of that Relevant Financial Year is not negative, and (a) the Adjusted NPAT for that Relevant Financial Year is equal to or greater than the Guaranteed NPAT for that year, or (b) the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT is equal to or greater than the cumulative Guaranteed NPAT for that Relevant Financial Year (being aggregate of the Guaranteed NPAT from PG FYE 2027 up to and including the relevant Relevant Financial Year ("Cumulative Guaranteed NPAT")), the Escrow Agent shall release to the Vendor:-
(aa) if the Adjusted NPAT for that Relevant Financial Year is equal to or greater than the Guaranteed NPAT for that year, the Annual Pledged Shares for that Relevant Financial Year; and
(bb) if the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT is equal to or greater than the Cumulative Guaranteed NPAT for that Relevant Financial Year, any Annual Pledged Shares that were not released in respect of a Relevant Financial Year due to any Annual Shortfall (defined below) ("Carried Forward Shares") from previous Relevant Financial Years that have not previously been released, (collectively, "Released Shares");
(ii) if neither condition in paragraph (I)(i)(aa) nor paragraph (I)(i)(bb) above is satisfied, no Pledged Consideration Shares shall be released for that Relevant Financial Year. The Annual Pledged Shares for that year shall become Carried Forward Shares and shall remain with the Escrow Agent.
"Annual Shortfall" means any shortfall in a Relevant Financial Year, being Adjusted NPAT for that Relevant Financial Year falls below the Guaranteed NPAT for that Relevant Financial Year.
For the avoidance of doubt:
(i) over-performance in any Relevant Financial Year shall not entitle the Vendor to the release of Annual Pledged Shares allocated to any subsequent Relevant Financial Year. The maximum number of Pledged Consideration Shares that may be released in respect of any Relevant Financial Year is that year's Annual Pledged Shares plus any then outstanding Carried Forward Shares;
(ii) for any Relevant Financial Year in which the Adjusted NPAT is below the Guaranteed NPAT for that year but the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT is equal to or greater than the Cumulative Guaranteed NPAT (due to over-performance in prior years), the Annual Pledged Shares for that year shall be released; and
(iii) once any Released Shares have been released to the Vendor, those Released Shares shall not be required to be returned to the Escrow Agent or treated as Pledged Consideration Shares by reason of any subsequent shortfall or underperformance in any later Relevant Financial Year.
6
(II) If at any Relevant Financial Year, the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT equals or exceeds the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT, MBGB and the Vendor may agree in writing for the Escrow Agent to release all remaining Pledged Consideration Shares to the Vendor, whereupon the Vendor's obligations for the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT shall be deemed fully satisfied and discharged.
(III) If the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT from PG FYE 2027 up to PG FYE 2031 is equal to or greater than the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT, no amount shall be payable by the Vendor and the Escrow Agent shall, within 5 business days, release to the Vendor all remaining Pledged Consideration Shares and any other then subsisting security.
(IV) If the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT from PG FYE 2027 up to PG FYE 2031 is less than the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT, the Vendor shall within 14 business days after written demand by MBGB pay to the Purchaser in cash an amount equal to:
Compensation = (Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT – Cumulative Adjusted NPAT) x 70.0% ("Profit Guarantee Compensation")
If the Vendor fails to pay any Profit Guarantee Compensation (or any part thereof) by the due date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount at the rate of 2% per annum above the base lending rate of Malayan Banking Berhad from the due date until the date of actual payment, both before and after judgment.
If the Vendor fails to pay any Profit Guarantee Compensation in full by the due date:
(i) MBGB may instruct the Escrow Agent to sell, transfer or otherwise realise such number of the remaining Pledged Consideration Shares and any other security as are necessary to satisfy the unpaid amount, the accrued interest and the reasonable enforcement costs;
(ii) any balance proceeds, after deduction of such amounts, shall be released to the Vendor; and
(iii) if the net proceeds are insufficient, the Vendor shall immediately pay the deficiency in cash as a debt.
Upon payment in full by the Vendor of all Profit Guarantee Compensation, interest and costs due, the Escrow Agent shall, within 5 business days of receipt of written confirmation from MBGB (such confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), release to the Vendor all remaining Pledged Consideration Shares and any other then subsisting security held.

Notes:-
(a) The Adjusted NPAT for PG FYE 2028 is not met, hence, the Annual Pledged Shares for the PG FYE 2028 of 8,659,844 Shares are not being released.
(b) The Adjusted NPAT for PG FYE 2029 is met, hence, the Annual Pledged Shares for the PG FYE 2029 of 9,571,406 Shares are being released.
The Cumulative Adjusted NPAT from PG FYE 2027 up to PG FYE 2029 of total RM8,300,000 is more than Cumulative Guaranteed NPAT of RM8,000,000, as such, the 8,659,844 Carried Forward Shares are being released.
Conclusion:
No shortfall and no Profit Guarantee Compensation payable. All Pledged Consideration Shares released to the Vendor.

Notes:-
(a) The Adjusted NPAT for each Relevant Financial Year is not met, hence, the Annual Pledged Shares for each Relevant Financial Year are not being released.
(b) The Adjusted NPAT for each Relevant Financial Year is met, hence, the Annual Pledged Shares for each Relevant Financial Year are being released accordingly.
However, the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT from PG FYE 2027 up to each Relevant Financial Year is not met, hence, the Carried Forward Shares are not being released.
Conclusion:
Cumulative shortfall
= Cumulative Guaranteed NPAT – Cumulative Adjusted NPAT
= RM15,000,000 – RM14,500,000
= RM500,000
Profit Guarantee Compensation
= Cumulative Shortfall x 70.0%
= RM500,000 x 70.0%
= RM350,000
Should the Vendor pay the Profit Guarantee Compensation, the remaining 14,736,925 Pledged Consideration Shares at PG FYE 2031 shall be released to the Vendor, thus, the final Purchase Consideration is:
| RM | |
|---|---|
| Purchase Consideration | 9,292,500 |
| Less: Pledged Consideration Shares not being released subsequent to PG FYE 2031 | - |
| Less: Profit Guarantee Compensation payable by the Vendor | (350,000) |
| Final Purchase Consideration | 8,942,500 |

Note:-
(a) The Adjusted NPAT for each Relevant Financial Year and Cumulative Adjusted NPAT from PG FYE 2027 up to each Relevant Financial Year, both are not met, hence, the Annual Pledged Shares for each Relevant Financial Year and Carried Forward Shares are not being released.
Conclusion:
Cumulative shortfall
= Cumulative Guaranteed NPAT – Cumulative Adjusted NPAT
= RM15,000,000 – RM13,000,000
= RM2,000,000
Profit Guarantee Compensation
= Cumulative Shortfall x 70.0%
= RM2,000,000 x 70.0%
= RM1,400,000
Should the Vendor pay the Profit Guarantee Compensation, the 45,578,125 Pledged Consideration Shares at PG FYE 2031 shall be released to the Vendor, thus, the final Purchase Consideration is:
| RM | |
|---|---|
| Purchase Consideration | 9,292,500 |

2.4 Basis and justification of the Purchase Consideration
The Purchase Consideration of RM9,292,500 was arrived at on a “willing-buyer willing-seller” basis, after taking into consideration, amongst others, the following:-
(i) the consolidated net assets of the Target Group (save for STSSB which shall be accounted using equity method) for the FYE 31 December 2024 and FYE 31 December 2025 of RM3.4 million and RM2.2 million respectively;
(ii) the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT of RM15.0 million to be achieved over the Relevant Financial Years (of which RM10.5 million equivalent to 70.0% of the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT is expected to be consolidated by MBGB Group); and
(iii) the rationale and potential benefits to be accrued by MBGB and its subsidiaries (“MBGB Group” or the “Group”).
Based on the Purchase Consideration of RM9,292,500 for 70.0% equity interest of the Target Group, the proforma equity value for 100% of Target Group is approximately RM13,275,000. The Purchase Consideration represents:
(i) an implied price-to-earning (“P/E”) multiple of 4.4 times (RM13.3 million / RM3.0 million), assuming the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT of RM15.0 million spread evenly over 5 financial years; and
(ii) an implied price-to-book (“P/B”) multiple of 4.2 times (RM9.3 million / RM2.2 million) based on the 70.0% of net assets of the Target Group (including FIESB) as at 31 December 2025.
For information, the Target Group recorded consolidated loss after tax attributable to the owners of RM0.07 for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
The P/E multiple is lower than the range and the P/B multiple is within the range, of the comparable companies as set out below:-
| Comparable companies | Principal activities | Market capitalisation as at LPD(a) | P/E multiple times | P/B multiple times |

2.5 Basis and justification of the issue price of Consideration Shares
The issue price of RM0.16 per Consideration Share ("Issue Price") was determined on a willing-buyer willing-seller basis, after taking into consideration the closing price of MBGB Shares on the day of execution of the SSA. For information, the 5-day weighted average market price ("VWAP") of MBGB Shares up to LPD of RM0.1556 and the Issue Price represents a premium of 2.8% to the 5-day VWAP of MBGB Shares up to LPD.
For information, the historical VWAP of MBGB Shares up to LPD are as follows:
| Up to LPD | VWAP | Premium of the Issue Price to the VWAP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RM | RM | % | |
| - 5-day | 0.1556 | 0.0044 | 2.8 |
| - 1-month | 0.1499 | 0.0101 | 6.7 |
| - 3-month | 0.1467 | 0.0133 | 9.1 |
| - 6-month | 0.1440 | 0.0160 | 11.1 |
| - 12-month | 0.1395 | 0.0205 | 14.7 |
The issuance of Consideration Shares pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition will be undertaken in accordance with the general mandate pursuant to Sections 75 and 76 of the Act, which was obtained from MBGB's shareholders at its 25th annual general meeting ("AGM") convened on 2 December 2025, whereby the Board had been authorised to allot and issue new MBGB Shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued MBGB Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) ("General Mandate"). The General Mandate is in force until the Company's next AGM (unless revoked or varied by the shareholders at a general meeting prior to the next AGM).
For information, the issuance of the Consideration Shares may be undertaken under the existing General Mandate or a new mandate to be obtained at the Company's next AGM.
2.6 Ranking of Consideration Shares
The Consideration Shares shall, upon issuance and allotment, rank equally in all respects with the existing MBGB Shares, save and except that the Consideration Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/or other distributions that may be declared, made or paid for which the entitlement date precedes the date of issuance and allotment of the said Consideration Shares.
2.7 Listing and quotation of the Consideration Shares
An application will be made to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securities") for the listing and quotation of the Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition, on the Main Market of Bursa Securities.
2.8 Source of funding
The cash consideration for the Proposed Acquisition amounting to RM1.0 million is expected to be funded from the Group's cash and bank balances.
For information, MBGB Group has unaudited cash and cash equivalents of RM24.1 million as at 31 December 2025.
2.9 Additional financial commitment
Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, there will be no additional financial commitments to be incurred by the Group to put the business of the Target Group on-stream, in view that the Target Group (save for STSSB) is already in operation.
25
2.10 Liabilities to be assumed by MBGB
Save for the Purchase Consideration, MBGB does not foresee any liabilities, including contingent liabilities and guarantees, to be assumed by MBGB Group arising from the Proposed Acquisition.
For avoidance of doubt, the liabilities stated in the Target Group’s statements of financial position will be consolidated into the financial statements of MBGB Group following the completion of the Proposed Acquisition.
3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
MBGB Group had obtained its shareholders’ approval at an extraordinary general meeting held on 17 July 2022 to diversify the principal activities of the Group to include renewable energy (which refers to energy that cannot run out and is sustainable) and energy efficiency (which refers to using less energy to provide the same amount of useful output) related technology and businesses which may include amongst others, solar, wind, biomass, hydropower and energy efficiency (“Energy Related Business”).
Since the diversification, MBGB Group had secured 36 solar projects, 4 energy efficiency contracts and 41 projects in relation to electric vehicles charging infrastructure. In order to undertake EPCC works for the Energy Related Business, the Group is required to obtain Registered Photovoltaic Service Provider license. However, the Group does not have the requisite technical expertise as at LPD, hence, the Group had been engaging EPCC contractors to carry out the EPCC works.
The Proposed Acquisition is expected to complement the Energy Related Business through vertical integration, which will enable the Group to position itself as an integrated service provider in the Energy Related Business in view that the Target Group possess the requisite licenses/registration to carry out the EPCC works (as detailed in Section 5.4 of this Announcement).
Despite FIESB being loss making since its incorporation and STSSB still being dormant since its incorporation, the Proposed Acquisition will include these 2 companies. MBGB Group intends to consolidate all the companies under the Vendor which are involved in Energy Related Business into the Group, to align the interest of the Vendor with the MBGB Group and to avoid potential conflict of interest.
In addition, by carrying out the EPCC works itself, MBGB Group will be able to manage its cost more effectively and improve its competitive advantage by offering a more complete solutions in Energy Related Business to its existing / new customers.
In addition, the Board is also of the view that the issuance of Consideration Shares is the most appropriate option for the settlement of the Purchase Consideration as compared to other sources i.e. internal funds, borrowings and equity offerings due to the following:
(i) this will enable the Group to conserve its cash resources and thereby provide greater flexibility to utilise its cash resources moving forward;
(ii) eliminate the need to serve additional interest cost or having to service principal repayments if the Purchase Consideration is funded via bank borrowings;
(iii) more expedient way to settle the Purchase Consideration as compared to raising fund to settle the Purchase Consideration via equity offerings which typically require longer time due to its process; and
(iv) the issuance of Consideration Shares to THW also serves to further align the interest of THW with the Group.
- INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND PROSPECTS
4.1 Overview and outlook of Malaysian economy
The Malaysian economy expanded by 5.4% in the first quarter of 2026 (4Q 2025: 6.2%), driven mainly by domestic demand. Household spending remained supported by positive labour market conditions, with the unemployment rate staying low, alongside targeted policy measures. Investment growth was underpinned by continued implementation of multi-year projects by both the private and public sectors, a high realisation rate of approved investments, and the ongoing rollout of national master plans. On the external front, export growth remained strong, driven mainly by continued expansion in electrical and electronics (“E&E”) exports. Meanwhile, gross import growth moderated amid slower growth in capital, intermediate and consumer goods imports.
On the supply side, growth in services sector moderated, reflecting a moderation in motor vehicle sales following the front-loading of purchases in the fourth-quarter ahead of the expiration of import duty waivers for electric vehicles. Meanwhile, manufacturing sector performance remained supported by stronger E&E performance, in line with continued demand for artificial intelligence and data centre-related components. Growth in the agriculture sector was lower amid normalisation in palm oil production following high output previously and ongoing replanting activities. The mining and quarrying sector contracted, mainly due to weaker oil and gas production. In addition, growth in the construction sector normalised from a double-digit growth amid a moderation in residential construction and civil engineering activities. On a quarter-on-quarter, seasonally-adjusted basis, the economy contracted by -0.01% (4Q 2025: 1.4%) given last quarter’s very strong performance.
Headline inflation increased to 1.6% (4Q 2025: 1.3%) while core inflation moderated to 2.1% (4Q 2025: 2.3%). The higher headline inflation reflected some initial cost pass-through of higher global cost pressures, partly due to the conflict in the Middle East. Electricity charges and fuel prices, mainly RON97 and diesel, increased during the quarter, which led to slower declines in electricity (-6%; 4Q 2025: -10.3%) and fuel inflation (-1.5%; 4Q 2025: -1.9%). These increases were partly offset by lower core inflation, mainly reflecting softer inflation in food away from home (2.4%; 4Q 2025: 2.8%) and rental inflation (1.6%; 4Q 2025: 1.9%). Inflation pervasiveness, measured by the share of consumer price index (“CPI”) items registering monthly price increases, continued to decline to 38.3% during the quarter (4Q 2025: 39.6%), trending well below the historical first-quarter average of 52.2%.
As a small and open economy, Malaysia will inevitably face both direct and indirect impact from the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. Higher energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and heightened uncertainty are expected to weigh on the external environment. Nevertheless, the Malaysian economy is expected to remain resilient in 2026, with growth expected to come in within the range of 4% - 5%, supported by steady domestic demand and continued expansion in our export performance.
The resilient domestic demand will provide a strong buffer against external headwinds. Household spending will be underpinned by firm labour market conditions and continuous policy support. Investment activity will be driven by the continued progress of multi-year projects in both the private and public sectors, as well as the ongoing implementation of national master plans. Despite the external headwinds, export growth will continue to be supported by the global technology expansion, particularly for E&E goods, reflecting Malaysia’s role in global value chains.
26
Headline inflation is projected to average 1.5%–2.5% in 2026. Following the Middle East conflict, inflation is expected to edge higher due to elevated global energy and other key commodity prices, broadly in line with expectations. In the absence of excessive demand pressures, existing policy measures, including targeted fuel subsidies and other mitigation measures, are expected to help limit near-term spillovers to broader inflation. However, the extent and pace of pass-through to domestic prices from the ongoing conflict will also depend on firms' pricing behaviour and demand conditions.

4.2 Overview and outlook of renewable energy industry in Malaysia
Public investment grew by 10.3% in 2025 (2024: 11.1%), following robust capital expenditure by both the Government and public corporations. While some projects were nearing completion, growth continued to be driven by progress of ongoing infrastructure projects. This includes East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), Pan Borneo Highway Sabah, Johor Bahru–Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link and the Sarawak–Sabah Link Road (SSLR). In addition, growth was also supported by public corporations' renewable energy and sustainability initiatives, such as large-scale solar and hydropower projects, and Hybrid Hydro-Floating Solar (HHFS) Photovoltaic systems.
The construction sector continued to record a double-digit growth of 12.2% (2024: 17.5%), underpinned by the non-residential and special trade subsectors. Stronger expansion in the non-residential subsector was driven by industrial and commercial projects including the construction of data centres. Continued strong growth in the special trade subsector was supported by solar projects under the National Energy Transition Roadmap ("NETR"), small scale projects under Budget 2025 and large infrastructure projects that were nearing completion. Meanwhile, the civil engineering subsector continued to expand, but at a more moderate pace, as multi-year infrastructure projects particularly in the transportation segment approached completion.

The National Energy Policy, 2022-2040, the NETR and the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030 were launched to support the Low Carbon Nation Aspiration 2040. A total of 10 flagship projects and 50 NETR initiatives are being implemented, with projected outcomes exceeding the targets in the aspects of job opportunities, investment commitments and reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Among the flagship projects currently being implemented are the Hydro Hybrid Floating Solar in Kenyir, Terengganu, the Biofuel Hub in Pengerang, Johor and the Community Solar in Bandar Elmina, Selangor. In line with the initiatives to enhance green mobility, an autonomous rail transit project based on hydrogen technology was introduced in Sarawak, and mobile hydrogen refuelling station in the Federal Territory of Putrajaya is in operation. In addition, the National Energy Transition Facility (NETF), a financing facility amounting to RM2 billion was launched to support energy transition-based initiatives.

4.3 Prospects of the Target Group
MBGB Group is of the view the specialisation of the Target Group in EPCC works will be complementary to its existing Energy Related Business and enable MBGB Group to manage its cost more effectively thus allowing the enlarged MBGB Group to provide a more comprehensive solution and competitive pricing to secure projects/contracts for its Energy Related Business.
STKLSB, which will be a 51.0% subsidiary of TIESB, currently holds a license from Petroliam Nasional Berhad ("PETRONAS") under the Petroleum Development Act 1974 with 15 Standardised Work and Equipment Categories ("SWEC") and STSSB, which will be a 49.0% associate of TIESB, currently holds a license from Petroleum Sarawak Berhad ("PETROS"). These licenses will enable the enlarged MBGB Group to expand their customer base via the provision of energy related services and/or products to the oil & gas industry.
27
Coupled with the positive outlook of the renewable energy industry in Malaysia, the secured order book and the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT, MBGB Group believes that the Proposed Acquisition will be able to improve the financial performance of the enlarged MBGB Group moving forward.
5. RISK FACTORS
The Proposed Acquisition is not expected to materially change the risk profile of the business of the Group as the Target Group is in the renewable energy and energy efficiency industry which the MBGB Group is already exposed to this industry.
The Proposed Acquisition will result in the MBGB Group being subject to certain transaction risks, including amongst others, the following risks:
5.1 Completion risk
The completion of the Proposed Acquisition is subject to, amongst others, the fulfilment of the conditions precedent of the SSA as set out in Section 5 of Appendix I of this Announcement and any supplemental thereto (if any). The Proposed Acquisition may not be completed if any of the conditions precedent are not fulfilled or waived within the stipulated timeframe.
There can be no assurance that the conditions precedent can be fulfilled and the Proposed Acquisition can be completed within the time period permitted under the SSA. To mitigate such risks, the Company will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the conditions precedent that are within the Company's control will be met within the stipulated timeframe to ensure the successful completion of the Proposed Acquisition. Should there be any delay beyond the agreed time period, the Board shall negotiate with the relevant parties to the SSA to mutually extend the relevant period prior to its expiry.
5.2 Acquisition risk
The Proposed Acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of the MBGB Group. However, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits will be fully realised, or that the MBGB Group will generate sufficient returns to offset the associated acquisition costs. The MBGB Group also faces potential integration challenges which could have a material adverse effect on the business performance and prospects of the enlarged MBGB Group.
To mitigate these risks, MBGB Group has procured the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT as set out in Section 2.3 of this Announcement. In addition, the Vendor will remain as a 30.0% shareholder of the TIESB and as a Director of TIESB subsequent to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition, to continue to spearhead the business of the Target Group.
However, there can be no assurance that any integration efforts will not have a material adverse effect on the business performance and prospects of the enlarged MBGB Group upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition. Moving forward, the Group will work closely with the Vendor and his team as well as monitor the operations and performance of the Target Group to ensure a seamless integration.
5.3 Achievability of the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT
The Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT is based on various bases and assumptions which the Board deems reasonable, but nevertheless is subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies such as failure to secure new contracts/projects from the existing and/or new customers. While the Board has taken reasonable steps to assess the achievability of the said Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT by assessing the historical financial performance of the Target Group, its secured order book as well as the tender book, there can be no assurance that the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT will be achieved.
28
To mitigate the risk of not fulfilling the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT, the Vendor and MBGB have agreed that the Pledged Consideration Shares with a total value of RM7,292,500 shall only be issued and allotted to the Vendor upon the achievement of the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT based on the mechanisms as set out in Section 2.3 of this Announcement. In the event the Aggregate Guaranteed NPAT are not achieved, the Pledged Consideration Shares will not be issued to the Vendor.
5.4 Termination and non-renewal risk of licenses and approvals
In order to carry out EPCC works, the Target Group is required to maintain various licenses, registrations and approvals. These include, amongst others, the following:
(i) Certificate of Registration Registered Photovoltaic Service Provider from Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia ("SEDA");
(ii) Certificate of Registration Registered Solar Photovoltaic Investor Under Nem Programme from SEDA;
(iii) Government Work Procurement Certificate from Construction Industry Development Board ("CIDB");
(iv) Certificate of Registration with CIDB;
(v) Registration Certificate for an Electrical Contractor with Energy Commission;
(vi) UPKJ Contractor Registration Certificate from Sarawak State Financial Secretary's Office-Contractor and Consultant Registration Unit;
(vii) Licence from PETRONAS under the Petroleum Development Act 1974 to supply product/service to exploration and oil/gas companies in Malaysia – 15 SWEC codes; and
(viii) Vendor Registration Certificate from PETROS.
In the event that the relevant licenses, registrations and approvals are not renewed or terminated by the authorities, the Target Group might not be able to carry out its operations and secure contracts/projects, which would then have a material adverse effect on the financial performance of the Group.
The Target Group must comply with the terms, conditions and restrictions imposed by the relevant authorities in order to maintain such licences, registrations and approvals. The Group seeks to limit these risks through the implementation of strict compliance procedures and by ensuring timely renewal of all licences, registrations and approvals prior to their respective expiry dates.
5.5 Impairment risk
MBGB Group is expected to recognise goodwill arising from the Proposed Acquisition. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the Target Group will make a transition from Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standard to the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards to align with the Group's existing reporting standards. Thereafter, the Group will calculate the goodwill in relation to the Proposed Acquisition based on Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards 3 – Business Combinations. The amount of goodwill cannot be determined at this juncture as it will depend on the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired as at the completion date of the SSA. Should the Purchase Consideration in excess of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, a goodwill will be recognised and subject to an annual impairment review. In the event the recoverable amount (which shall be based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the Target Group) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment will be recognised.
29
Besides, an impairment loss shall also be recognised in the event the recoverable amount of a financial asset such as receivables is less than the carrying amount in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards 9 – Financial Instruments. As at 31 December 2024, Target Group has total receivables of RM10.5 million, representing approximately 59.6% of the total assets of the Target Group. In the event any of the receivables fails to be recovered, the Group may need to recognise impairment losses and/or write-off the said receivables, which could impact the Group's financial performance.
To mitigate such risks, the MBGB Group will closely monitor the financial performance of the Target Group and the Target Group will continue to engage closely with the existing receivables on the receipt of outstanding balances upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition. The Group will also implement appropriate credit control measures to facilitate the timely collection of outstanding receivables. However, there can be no assurance that the performance of the Group would not be material affected in the event there is any impairment being recognised.
6. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
For illustrative purposes, the effects of the Proposed Acquisition on the issued share capital, earnings and earnings per share ("EPS"), net assets ("NA"), NA per Share and gearing as well as substantial shareholders' shareholdings of MBGB have been illustrated based on the following scenarios:-
Minimum Scenario : Assuming none of the 681,833,368 outstanding warrants 2022/2032 of the Company ("Warrants") as at LPD are exercised into new Shares prior to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition.
Maximum Scenario : Assuming all of the 681,833,368 outstanding Warrants as at LPD are exercised into new Shares prior to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition.

Notes:-
(a) Assuming full exercise of 681,833,368 outstanding Warrants at the exercise price of RM0.085 per Warrant and reversal of warrants reserve at the fair value of RM0.0485 per Warrant to share capital.
(b) Computed based on 51,828,125 Consideration Shares to be issued at the Issue Price of RM0.16 per Consideration Share.
6.2 NA, NA per Share and gearing
For information, the financial statements of the Target Group had been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standard while the financial statements of MBGB Group had been prepared in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards. The proforma effect of the Proposed Acquisition on the NA below had not taken into consideration the impact of the differential in the adopted accounting standards.
Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the Target Group will make a transition from Malaysian Private Entities Reporting Standard to the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards to align with the Group's existing reporting standards. Thereafter, the Group will calculate the goodwill in relation to the Proposed Acquisition based on Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards 3 – Business Combinations.
MBGB Group is of the view that the difference between the accounting standards adopted by Target Group and MBGB Group will not have a material impact to the Group's financial position in view that the Group would require to carry out assessment to measure all the assets and liabilities at fair value and any difference will then be recognised as goodwill or bargain purchase.
The Group is allowed for a measurement period of not exceeding one year from the acquisition date to identify and measure identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest, purchase consideration and the resulting goodwill or bargain purchase.
The proforma effect of the Proposed Acquisition on the NA, NA per share and gearing of MBGB Group are as follows:-

|---|---|---|---|
| PG FYE 2027 | 2,000,000 | 2,000,000 | 972,333 |

Performance shall be monitored both on a standalone annual basis and on a cumulative basis from FYE 2027 up to and including the relevant financial year.

8. Pledged Consideration Shares and Escrow
As continuing security for the due and punctual payment of any profit guarantee compensation and the performance of the Vendor's obligations under the profit guarantee provisions, such number of Consideration Shares/ the Pledged Consideration Shares having an aggregate issue price equal to RM7,292,500 shall, upon issuance and allotment, be credited into a pledged securities account maintained with an authorised nominee and held subject to the security arrangements under the escrow agreement.
APPENDIX I – SALIENT TERMS OF THE SSA (CONT'D)
The Vendor shall not sell, transfer, assign, dispose of, lend, create or permit to subsist any encumbrance over, or otherwise deal with, any Pledged Consideration Shares except as expressly permitted under the SSA or escrow agreement.
During the escrow period:
(i) any cash dividends and other cash distributions declared and paid in respect of the Pledged Consideration Shares shall be retained by the escrow agent as additional security and may be applied towards satisfying any unpaid profit guarantee compensation, interest or enforcement costs; and
(ii) any bonus shares, rights issue securities or other distributions in specie attributable to the Pledged Consideration Shares shall be deposited with the escrow agent and form part of the Pledged Consideration Shares.
9. Release of Pledged Consideration Shares
Following the profit guarantee statement for each relevant financial year becoming final and binding, the release of the Pledged Consideration Shares shall be determined as follows:
(i) if the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT as at the end of that relevant financial year is not negative, and the Adjusted NPAT for that relevant Relevant Financial Year is equal to or greater than the Guaranteed NPAT for that year, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Vendor the Annual Pledged Shares for that relevant Relevant Financial Year;
(ii) if the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT as at the end of that relevant Relevant Financial Year is not negative, and the Cumulative Adjusted NPAT is equal to or greater than the Cumulative Guaranteed NPAT for that relevant financial year, the escrow agent shall release to the Vendor any Carried Forward Shares from prior to the relevant Relevant Financial Years that have not previously been released; and
(iii) if neither of the above conditions is satisfied, no Pledged Consideration Shares shall be released for that relevant Relevant Financial Year, and the Annual Pledged Shares for that year shall become Carried Forward Shares and remain with the Escrow Agent.
Over-performance in any relevant financial year shall not entitle the Vendor to the early release of Annual Pledged Shares allocated to any subsequent relevant financial year. Once any released shares have been released to the Vendor, they shall not be required to be returned to the Escrow Agent or treated as Pledged Consideration Shares by reason of any subsequent shortfall or under-performance in any later relevant financial year.
10. Final Settlement after FYE 2031
After the profit guarantee statement for FYE 2031 becomes final and binding:
(i) if the aggregate Adjusted NPAT achieved for all relevant financial years is equal to or greater than RM15,000,000, no Profit Guarantee Compensation shall be payable and the escrow agent shall, within 5 business days, release to the Vendor all remaining Pledged Consideration Shares and any other then subsisting security; and
(ii) if the aggregate Adjusted NPAT achieved for all relevant financial years is less than RM15,000,000, after taking into account any excess performance in any relevant financial year through the cumulative offset mechanism, the Vendor shall within 14 business days after written demand by the Purchaser pay to the Purchaser in cash an amount equal to the aggregate profit guarantee shortfall multiplied by 70.0%.
APPENDIX I – SALIENT TERMS OF THE SSA (CONT'D)
If the Vendor fails to pay any Profit Guarantee Compensation by the due date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid amount at the rate of 2.0% per annum above the base lending rate of Malayan Banking Berhad from the due date until the date of actual payment, both before and after judgment.
If the Vendor fails to pay the profit guarantee compensation in full by the due date, the Purchaser may instruct the escrow agent to sell, transfer or otherwise realise such number of remaining Pledged Consideration Shares and any other security as are necessary to satisfy the unpaid amount, accrued interest and reasonable enforcement costs. If the net proceeds are insufficient, the Vendor shall immediately pay the deficiency in cash as a debt.
Upon payment in full by the Vendor of all profit guarantee compensation, interest and costs due under the profit guarantee arrangement in the SSA, the Escrow Agent shall, within 5 business days of receipt of written confirmation from the Purchaser (such confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), release to the Vendor all remaining Pledged Consideration Shares and any other then subsisting security held under the SSA.
11. Over-Performance Incentive
If, after the profit guarantee statement for FYE 2031 becomes final and binding, the aggregate Adjusted NPAT achieved for all relevant financial years exceeds RM15,000,000 and no profit guarantee compensation is payable, the parties shall discuss in good faith an appropriate incentive for the Vendor, which may include, without limitation, an employees' share option scheme, special dividends or cash bonuses.
