==> picture [106 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

on distinct opportunities to enhance customer value, accelerate growth as well as improve efficiency and competitiveness for both the businesses;

  • (ii) in view of the separation of automotive and industrial businesses at a global level, each business would be able to address independent growth plans, pursue efficient capital allocation, attract different sets of investors, strategic partners, lenders and other stakeholders, leverage on their strategies as standalone companies and stronger leverage of specific global resources within the group;

  • (iii) the proposed demerger will de-risk both the businesses from each other, allow the businesses to tailor capital deployment, adapt faster to the global trends, enhance operational efficiency, increased responsiveness and enhanced end-user experiences and allow potential investors and other stakeholders the option of investing in both businesses;

  • (iv) the shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders will have greater understanding and visibility of both the businesses; and

  • (v) the proposed demerger will unlock value for the shareholders of the Demerged Company.
