Description

PNE PCB BERHAD ("PNE" OR "THE COMPANY")
- EXTENSION ON TIMEFRAME FOR THE UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS RAISED FROM THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT INVOLVING 129,357,000 NEW ORDINARY SHARES OF PNE

Reference is made to the proposed utilisation of proceeds raised from the private placement of 129,357,000 new ordinary shares of PNE ("Private Placement") allocated for the capital expenditure for the Glove Business. The Company had raised total gross proceeds of RM10.93 million from the Private Placement ("Private Placement Proceeds").

To date, the Company has yet to fully utilise the Private Placement Proceeds, given the decline in the global average selling prices (“ASP”) of hand gloves over the past year and the decision to put on hold the evaluation of the glove business. As at the date of this announcement, the global glove industry continues to face challenging market conditions characterised by oversupply and subdued ASPs, although gradual recovery in demand is anticipated in 2025 based on projections by the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (“MARGMA”).

In view of the prevailing market uncertainties, the Board wishes to extend the timeframe for the utilisation of the remaining Private Placement Proceeds for a further twelve (12) months to allow sufficient time for reassessment and strategic planning.

During the extended period, the Board will continue to monitor developments in both global and domestic glove markets, including trends in demand, ASP, and production costs. The Company will focus on assessing current industry conditions, engaging with potential partners or technology providers, and exploring alternative business models or diversification opportunities that could enhance long-term returns.

A summary of the revised utilisation of Proceeds is set out below:

Description Proposed Utilisation

RM’000
Actual Utilisation RM’000 Unutilised proceed

RM’000
Initial Time Frame for Utilisation Previously Revised Time Frame for Utilisation Further Extension of Time for Utilisation
Capital expenditure for the Gloves Business 10,500 0 10,500 Within 24 months Within 12 months Within 12 months
Estimated expenses for the Private Placement 30% 430 430 0 Immediate - -
Total 10,930 430 10,500 - - -

The Board is of the opinion that the Extension of Time is in the best interest of the Company. The Extension of Time is not subject to any regularly authorities or shareholders' approval.

Nonetheless, the Company shall continue to be vigilant and prudent in managing the Private Placement Proceeds and will continue to disclose the status of the utilisation in the Company's quarterly results and annual report until it is fully utilised.

This announcement is dated 5 November 2025.
