Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of Platinum JV Developments
Highlights
-
Soil Sub Technologies Limited (“ SOI ” , “ the Company ” or “ Soil Sub Technologies ”) has executed a Heads of Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Malaysian based Platinum JV Developments Sdn Bhd (“ PJVD ”).
-
His Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Sri Haji Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak and the Deputy Finance Minister of the Malaysian Ministry of Finance Yang Berhormat Datuk Haji Ahmad bin Haji Maslan have endorsed PJVD as the Principal Developer for a model township covering 500 acres at Penor (situated 15 kilometres south-west of Kuantan, the capital of the State of Pahang, Malaysia) comprising 5,000 houses (and associated infrastructure) for a budget of RM 1.7 billion (approximately A$600 million).
-
This Affordable Housing Project (subject to, inter alia , final contracts, access, permitting and finance) has the potential to extend to the surrounding 1,500 acres (up to 20,000 houses at the Penor site in total). For this reason, infrastructure will be put in place to service 2,000 acres of land.
-
The Penor project represents the first phase of this Affordable Housing Project which is targeted at lower to middle income Malaysian citizens.
-
In October 2013, the Malaysian Government approved a budget of RM15 billion (A$5.07 billion) for Affordable Housing for 90,000 homes. The longer-term objective of the Malaysian Government is to build up to 1,000,000 low cost and affordable houses throughout Malaysia.
-
The final contract between PJVD and the Malaysian Government is likely to cover affordable housing and infrastructure but exclude public works. The Company will update the market on the timetable for finalising this contract (in addition to the timetable for re-compliance with Chapter 1 and 2 of ASX Listing Rules) in the near term.
-
Malaysia is currently experiencing a housing shortage and as part of broader strategy to address this issue, the Malaysian Government through Government Linked Companies may propose to acquire houses built by affordable home builders such as PJVD and to lease to qualified Malaysian buyers over a 25-30 year period.
-
Initial funding for the project is proposed to include an equity raising in SOI (to be renamed Platinum JV Developments Ltd ) of up to A$25 million (Lead Manager - RM Corporate Finance – AFSL 315235) and a Bond of approximately A$30 million. The acquisition of PJVD will be subject to SOI shareholder approval, due diligence and compliance with Chapter 1 & 2 of ASX Listing Rules.

Conclusion and Timetable
The acquisition of PJVD represents a tremendous opportunity for SOI to transform itself into a developer of a large-scale Affordable Housing Project commencing in Pahang State, Malaysia. Importantly (subject to the Company’s performance, land availability, finance and execution of agreements with the Malaysian Government) there is an excellent chance of expanding this project both within Pahang State and in other States of Malaysia where affordable housing remains a priority Government Policy.
The Company intends to update the market in the near term in respect to the timetable in respect to re-compliance with Chapter 1 and 2 of ASX Listing Rules and the project development timetable and associated agreements and contracts.
On behalf of the board of directors of SOI , in conjunction with PJVD , we are looking forward to making a significant contribution to this Malaysian government social initiative and in the process, improving the lives of working Malaysians.

Yours Sincerely
