LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to give you notice of the 2023 AGM and to provide you with the information regarding the above resolutions to be proposed at the 2023 AGM to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against those resolutions.

ISSUE MANDATE

Given that the general mandate granted to the Directors to issue Shares pursuant to the AGM held on 20 June 2022 will lapse at the conclusion of the 2023 AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2023 AGM to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors. Based on 472,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there will be no change in the number of issued Shares after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the 2023 AGM, the Directors will be authorised to allot, issue and deal with up to a maximum of 94,400,000 Shares, being 20% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of the resolution in relation thereto if the Issue Mandate is granted at the 2023 AGM. The Issue Mandate will end at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

Given that the general mandate granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares pursuant to the AGM held on 20 June 2022 will lapse at the conclusion of the 2023 AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2023 AGM to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and based on 472,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares will be issued or no Shares will be repurchased and cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the 2023 AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 47,200,000 Shares, being 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of the resolution in relation thereto. The Repurchase Mandate, if granted, will end at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company.

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2023 AGM to authorise the increase in the total number of new Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Issue Mandate by an additional number representing such number of Shares actually repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were two executive Directors, namely Dato’Sri Lee Haw Yih and Datin Sri Yaw Sook Kean; one non-executive Director, namely Mr. Lee Haw Shyang; and three INEDs, namely Ms. Ng Siok Hui, Mr. Lim Chee Hoong and Mr. Lim Heng Choon.

Pursuant to Article 108(a) of the Articles of Association, at each AGM, 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. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election.

Accordingly, Datin Sri Yaw Sook Kean (‘‘Datin Sri Yaw’’) and Ms. Ng Siok Hui (‘‘Ms. Ng’’) shall retire as executive Director and INED, respectively (collectively, the ‘‘Retiring Director(s)’’) at the 2023 AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the 2023 AGM.

The Nomination Committee had assessed and reviewed Ms. Ng’s written confirmation of independence based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that Ms. Ng remains independent. In addition, the Nomination Committee had evaluated the performance of each of the Retiring Directors during the Year with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the board diversity policy and the nomination policy of the Company and found their performance satisfactory. The Nomination Committee also considered that experience, skills and other perspectives of the Retiring Directors as set out in Appendix I to this circular can bring further contributions to the Board and its diversity. Therefore, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed that all of the Retiring Directors stand for re-election as Directors at the 2023 AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the Retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders at the 2023 AGM. The Board believes that the continuous appointment of the Retiring Directors contributes to the stability and diversity of the Board.

The biographical details of each of the Retiring Directors to be re-elected at the 2023 AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the 2023 AGM for approving the Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

1. SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

All proposed share repurchase on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval.

2. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is prohibited from knowingly purchasing Shares on the Stock Exchange from a core connected person.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or has 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.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 472,000,000 issued Shares in one class. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that there is no change in the number of the issued Shares after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the 2023 AGM of passing such resolution, the Directors will be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 47,200,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the relevant resolution. The Repurchase Mandate will end on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

4. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors presently have no intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The number of the Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms on which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining, subject to the restrictions under the Listing Rules.

5. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws.

The Company may not repurchase its own Shares 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 in effect from time to time.

Subject to the foregoing, any repurchase of the Shares by the Company may be made out of profits of the Company, out of share premium, or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of the Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Act, out of capital. Any amount of premium payable on the purchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be out of profits of the Company, out of the Company’s share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased, or subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.

6. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

The Directors consider that an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company when compared with that as at 31 December 2022, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

9. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations. The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate if the repurchase would result in the number of the Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of the Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may be prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the Listing Rules).

10. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Notes:

(1) The letter ‘‘L’’ denotes the person’s long position in the relevant Shares.

(2) Garry-Worth Investment Limited (‘‘Garry-Worth’’) is the beneficial owner of 337,500,000 Shares. GarryWorth Investment Limited is owned as to 53.37% by Dato’Sri Lee Haw Yih, 20.17% by Mr. Lee Haw Shyang, 20.17% by Mr. Lee Haw Hann and 6.29% by Datin Sri Yaw Sook Kean.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

  • (3) Dato’Sri Lee Haw Yih, Mr. Lee Haw Hann, Mr. Lee Haw Shyang and Datin Sri Yaw Sook Kean are parties acting in concert (having the meaning as ascribed thereto in the Takeovers Code) pursuant to the confirmation and undertaking dated 26 January 2019 and entered into among the Parties. As such, the Parties together control 337,500,000 Shares, representing 71.5% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

  • (4) Ms. Lim Ee Min, the spouse of Mr. Lee Haw Shyang, is deemed under the SFO to be interested in the same number of the Shares in which Mr. Lee Haw Shyang is interested in.

  • (5) Ms. Yee Mei Loon, the spouse of Mr. Lee Haw Hann, is deemed under the SFO to be interested in the same number of the Shares in which Mr. Lee Haw Hann is interested in.

  • (6) Warrants Capital Ltd (‘‘Warrants Capital’’) is the beneficial owner of 27,482,000 Shares. Warrants Capital is owned as to 100% by Mr. Voon Sze Lin. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Voon Sze Lin is deemed to be interested in the same number of Shares held by Warrants Capital.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, Dato’Sri Lee Haw Yih, Mr. Lee Haw Shyang, Mr. Lee Haw Hann and Datin Sri Yaw Sook Kean beneficially held 337,500,000 Shares or approximately 71.5% of the issued share capital of the Company, through Garry-Worth. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which was proposed to be granted pursuant to Repurchase Mandate, the interests in the Company of each of Dato’Sri Lee Haw Yih, Mr. Lee Haw Shyang, Mr. Lee Haw Hann and Datin Sri Yaw Sook Kean and Garry-Worth would be increased to approximately 79.4% of the issued share capital of the Company. However, such increase will not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Nevertheless, the Directors will not effect repurchase to an extent which would result in the Company failing to comply with Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules which requires a public float of 25%. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

11. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
