2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSALS AND PROPOSED ESOS TERMINATION
2.1 Details of the Proposed Share Capital Reduction
The Proposed Share Capital Reduction entails the reduction of the Company's issued share capital pursuant to Section 117 of the Act, via the reduction of the Company's issued share capital of RM38.00 million. The corresponding credit of RM38.00 million arising from such cancellation will be used to set-off the accumulated losses of the Company, while any remaining balance will be credited to the retained earnings of the Company which may be utilised in such manner as the Board deems fit and in the best interest of the Company, as permitted by the relevant and applicable laws, Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securities") ("Listing Requirements") as well as the Constitution of TXB. The Board has determined the amount of RM38.00 million for the Proposed Share Capital Reduction to eliminate the accumulated losses from the Company's books, after taking into consideration the accumulated losses of the Company of RM31.01 million and accumulated losses of the Group of RM34.80 million as at 31 December 2025 and estimated expenses for the Proposals of approximately RM0.59 million. The Board does not intend to create an excessive balance being credited to the retained earnings as a result of the Proposed Share Capital Reduction. Barring unforeseen circumstances and depending on the Group's financial performance moving forward, there is no assurance that the Group will remain with retained earnings after the completion of the Proposed Share Capital Reduction.
As at 22 May 2026, being the latest practicable date prior to the date of this announcement ("LPD"):
(i) the Company's issued share capital is RM69.81 million comprising 293,904,543 TXB Shares;
(ii) the Company does not have any treasury shares; and
(iii) the Company does not have any outstanding ESOS options that were granted but yet to be exercised under the ESOS 2021 which took effect on 1 October 2021.
For illustrative purposes, the Proposed Share Capital Reduction shall have the following effects:
| Audited | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at 31 December 2025 | ||

| RM'000 | RM'000 | |
| Accumulated losses | (34,798) | (31,009) |

| Less: | ||
| Estimated expenses for the Proposals (1) | (590) | (590) |
| Resultant retained earnings | 2,612 | 6,401 |
Note:
(1) The estimated expenses for the Proposals are set out in note 2 under Section 2.3.6 of this announcement.

The Group's accumulated losses of approximately RM34.80 million as at 31 December 2025 were mainly due to the losses incurred by the Group over the past financial years.

Subject to the approval of the Proposed Share Capital Reduction by the shareholders of the Company at an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") to be convened by way of a special resolution, the Company will send a notice to the Director General of the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia and the Registrar of Companies ("Registrar") within 7 days of the date of the special resolution for the Proposed Share Capital Reduction in accordance with Section 117(1)(a) of the Act. Pursuant to Section 117(4) of the Act, the Company need not to meet the solvency requirements, as the Proposed Share Capital Reduction is undertaken solely by way of cancellation of the paid-up share capital which is lost or unrepresented by available assets.
If no application for cancellation of the special resolution is made under Section 118(2) of the Act for the Proposed Share Capital Reduction to take effect, the Company shall lodge with the Registrar after the end of 6 weeks, and before the end of 8 weeks, from the date of the special resolution, the relevant documents as prescribed in accordance with Section 119(1) of the Act. The Proposed Share Capital Reduction shall take effect when the Registrar has recorded the information lodged in the appropriate register in accordance with Section 119(3) of the Act. The Company will make an immediate announcement on Bursa Securities on the effective date of the Proposed Share Capital Reduction.
The Proposed Share Capital Reduction will not result in the following:
(i) any adjustment to the share price of the TXB Shares;
(ii) any change in the total number of TXB Shares in issue or the number of Shares held by the shareholders of TXB;
(iii) any payment to the shareholders of TXB; and
(iv) any cash outflow or change in net assets ("NA") of the Group, save for the estimated expenses to be incurred in relation to the Proposals.

2.2.2 Basis and justification for the Settlement Issue Price
The Settlement Issue Price of RM0.015 per Settlement Share was determined based on negotiations between the parties to the Settlement Agreements after taking into consideration, among others, the following:
(i) rationale for the Proposed Debt Settlement as set out in Section 3.2 of this announcement;
(ii) the 5-day volume weighted average market price ("5D-VWAP") of TXB Shares up to and including 25 May 2026, being the last trading day prior to the date of the Settlement Agreement ("LTD"), of RM0.015; and
(iii) the Creditors had agreed to hold equity in TXB as a form of repayment of the outstandings due to the respective Creditors as at the LPD. As such, the Creditors are exposed to the market risk of TXB Shares which is influenced by, among others, the market sentiments, the liquidity of TXB Shares, volatility of the equity markets as well as the financial performance of TXB.
Premised on the above, the Board is of the view that the Settlement Issue Price of RM0.015 per Debt Settlement Share is reasonable.
2.2.3 Ranking of the Settlement Shares
The Settlement Shares shall, upon allotment and issuance, rank equally in all respects with the existing TXB Shares, save and except that the Settlement Shares will not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/or other distributions which may be declared, made or paid to the shareholders of the Company, the entitlement date of which is prior to the date of allotment and issuance of the Settlement Shares.
2.2.4 Listing and quotation of the Settlement Shares
The Settlement Shares will, upon allotment and issuance, be listed on the Main Market of Bursa Securities ("Main Market").
An application will be made to Bursa Securities for the listing and quotation of the Settlement Shares on the Main Market.
2.2.5 Take-over implication
The issuance of Settlement Shares to the Creditors pursuant to the Proposed Debt Settlement will not give rise to any mandatory general offer obligations under the Malaysian Code on Takeovers and Mergers 2016 and the Rules on Take-overs, Mergers and Compulsory Acquisition issued by the Securities Commission Malaysia.
2.2.6 Utilisation of proceeds
The Settlement Shares will be issued as settlement of the outstanding amount owing to the Creditors. Therefore, there will be no proceeds to be raised from the issuance of Settlement Shares.
9
2.3 Details of the Proposed Private Placement
2.3.1 Placement Size
The Proposed Private Placement entails the issuance of the Placement Shares, representing up to 30% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any).
As at the LPD:
(i) the Company's issued share capital is RM69.81 million comprising 293,904,543 TXB Shares;
(ii) the Company does not have any treasury shares; and
(iii) the Company does not have any outstanding ESOS options that were granted but yet to be exercised under the ESOS 2021.
To facilitate the Proposed Private Placement, the Company does not have the intention to grant any further ESOS options under the ESOS 2021 until the completion of the Proposed Private Placement.
The Proposals are not inter-conditional upon each other. In the event that the approvals for all the Proposals are obtained, the Company intends to complete the Proposed Private Placement after the completion of the Proposed Debt Settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Company is unable to implement the Proposed Debt Settlement, Proposed Share Capital Reduction and/or Proposed ESOS, the Company will still proceed with the implementation of the Proposed Private Placement to meet the funding requirements of the Group.
Based on the above, the number of Placement Shares to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Private Placement is illustrated based on the following assumptions:
| Minimum Scenario | Up to 88,171,300 Placement Shares, based on the assumption that the Proposed Share Capital Reduction and Proposed Debt Settlement are not completed prior to the implementation of the Proposed Private Placement. |
|---|---|
| Maximum Scenario | Up to 111,484,300 Placement Shares, based on the assumption that the Proposed Share Capital Reduction and Proposed Debt Settlement are completed prior to the implementation of the Proposed Private Placement. |
The actual number of Placement Shares to be issued will be determined and announced at a later date after the receipt of the approvals from Bursa Securities for the listing and quotation of the Placement Shares on the Main Market and the Company's shareholders at an EGM to be convened for, among others, the Proposed Private Placement.
10
2.3.2 Placement arrangements
The Placement Shares will not be placed to the following persons or parties in compliance with Paragraph 6.06(1) of the Listing Requirements:
(i) a Director, major shareholder of chief executive of the Company, or a holding company of TXB ("Interested Person");
(ii) a person connected with the Interested Person; and
(iii) nominee corporations, unless the names of the ultimate beneficiary are disclosed.
The Placement Shares are intended to be placed to independent third party investor(s) who qualify under Schedules 6 or 7 of the Capital Market and Services Act 2007 ("CMSA") ("Placee(s)"), which include inter-alia, the issuance of the Placement Shares to each of them for a consideration of not less than RM250,000 or the issuance of the Placement Shares is made to high-net worth individuals whose net personal assets exceed RM3,000,000 or to corporations with NA exceeding RM10,000,000.
The identities of the Placees as well as the actual number of Placement Shares allocated to each of them will only be determined at a later date after the receipt of all relevant approvals for the Proposed Private Placement.
Subject to market conditions and the timing of identification of the Placees, the Proposed Private Placement may be implemented in 1 or more tranches within 6 months from the date of approval from Bursa Securities for the Proposed Private Placement or any extended period as may be approved by Bursa Securities. The implementation of the placement arrangement in multiple tranches would provide flexibility to the Company to procure interested Placees to subscribe for the Placement Shares within the period as approved by Bursa Securities.
If the Placement Shares are to be issued in multiple tranches, the issue price for each tranche of the Placement Shares may be determined separately and in accordance with market-based principles.
2.3.3 Basis of determining and justification of the issue price of the Placement Shares
The issue price of each tranche of the Placement Shares will be determined separately and fixed by the Board at a later date after the receipt of all requisite approvals for the Proposed Private Placement ("Price-Fixing Date(s)").
The Placement Shares will be priced at not more than 20% discount to the 5D-VWAP of TXB Shares up to and including the last trading day prior to the Price-Fixing Date(s).
The Board is of the opinion that the maximum discount of 20% to the 5D-VWAP of TXB Shares will provide the Company with more flexibility when fixing the issue price of the Placement Shares and will increase its attractiveness for the Placee(s) to subscribe for the Placement Shares with an aim to raise the required funds for the purposes as detailed in Section 2.3.6 of this announcement.
For illustrative purposes, the issue price of the Placement Shares is assumed at RM0.015, representing a discount of approximately RM0.0013 or 7.98% to the 5D-VWAP of TXB Shares up to and including the LPD of RM0.0163.
11
2.3.4 Listing and quotation of the Placement Shares
The Placement Shares will, upon allotment and issuance, be listed on the Main Market.
An application will be made to Bursa Securities for the listing and quotation of the Placement Shares on the Main Market.
2.3.5 Ranking of the Placement Shares
The Placement Shares shall, upon allotment and issuance, rank equally in all respects with the existing TXB Shares, save and except that the Placement Shares will not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/or any other distributions which may be declared, made or paid to the shareholders of the Company, the entitlement date of which is prior to the date of allotment and issuance of such Placement Shares.
2.3.6 Utilisation of proceeds
Based on the indicative issue price of RM0.015 per Placement Share, the gross proceeds from the Proposed Private Placement are intended to be utilised by the Group in the following manner:
| Description | Minimum Scenario | Maximum Scenario | Estimated timeframe for use of proceeds upon receipt |
|---|---|---|---|
| RM'000 | RM'000 | ||
| Working capital (1) | 740 | 1,082 | Within 12 months |
| Estimated expenses relating to the Proposals (2) | 583 | 590 | Immediately |
| Total | 1,323 | 1,672 |
Notes:
(1) The allocated proceeds for working capital shall be utilised to finance the day-to-day operations of TXB Group, as and when the need arises, as follows:
| Description | Minimum Scenario | Maximum Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| RM'000 | RM'000 | |
| Payments to suppliers and creditors | 444 | 649 |
| Staff salaries and related costs as well as other operating and administrative expenses | 296 | 433 |
| Total | 740 | 1,082 |
(2) The breakdown of the estimated expenses in relation to the Proposals consist of the following:
| Description | Minimum Scenario | Maximum Scenario |
|---|---|---|
| RM'000 | RM'000 | |
| Professional fees and placement fees | 428 | 435 |
| Fees to relevant authorities | 124 | 124 |
| Contingencies and other incidental expenses in relation to the Proposals | 31 | 31 |
| Total | 583 | 590 |
The actual proceeds to be raised from the Proposed Private Placement will depend on the issue price(s) of the Placement Shares and the number of Placement Shares issued. In the event that the actual proceeds raised from the Proposed Private Placement varies from the above estimated gross proceeds, the surplus or deficit proceeds shall be adjusted to or from the amount allocated for the working capital of the Group.
Pending utilisation of the proceeds from the Proposed Private Placement for the above purposes, the unused proceeds will be placed in interest-bearing deposits with licenced financial institutions and/or short-term money market instruments as the Board deems fit. The interests derived from the deposits placed with financial institutions and/or any gains arising from the short-term money market instruments will be used as additional working capital for the Group as detailed in note (1) above, such as, among others, payments to suppliers and creditors, staff salaries and related costs as well as other operating and administrative expenses, the allocation of which has not been determined at this juncture and will be based on the Group's requirements at the relevant time.
In the event of any change to the utilisation of proceeds raised from the Proposed Private Placement as detailed above, the Company will make an immediate announcement and seek the approval of its shareholders at a general meeting to be convened, where required, in compliance with Paragraph 8.22 of the Listing Requirements.
2.4 Details of the Proposed ESOS Termination
On 1 October 2021, the Company established ESOS 2021 which entailed the issuance of up to 15% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any). ESOS 2021 is effective for a period of 5 years and will expire on 30 September 2026, unless extended for a further period of up to 5 years, in accordance with the by-laws governing the ESOS 2021.
Since the establishment of ESOS 2021 and up to the LPD, a total of 37,361,900 Shares has been issued pursuant to the exercise of the ESOS options under the ESOS 2021, representing approximately 12.71% of the total number of issued Shares as at the LPD. As at the LPD, the Company does not have any outstanding ESOS options that were granted but yet to be exercised under the ESOS 2021. The Company's ESOS committee does not intend to offer any further ESOS options under the ESOS 2021.
In view of the above, the Board proposes to terminate ESOS 2021 and replace it with the Proposed ESOS. Pursuant to the by-laws governing the ESOS 2021, the Company may terminate the ESOS 2021 subject to compliance with the requirements of Bursa Securities and the Company immediately announce on Bursa Securities on the following:
(i) the effective date of termination;
(ii) the number of ESOS options exercised or Shares vested; and
(iii) the reasons for termination.
Upon termination of ESOS 2021, with effect on and from the termination date:
(i) no further offer shall be made by the Company's ESOS committee;
(ii) all offers which have yet to be accepted by any eligible persons shall automatically lapse or cease to have effect; and
(iii) all the ESOS options which have yet to be exercised shall automatically lapse or cease to have effect.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Proposed ESOS Termination does not require any approval from the existing grantees or the Company's shareholders under the by-laws governing the ESOS 2021, and the information in relation to the Proposed ESOS Termination is included in this announcement for information purposes only.
The effective date for the Proposed ESOS Termination will be determined and announced at a later date by the Board after obtaining all the relevant approvals for the Proposed ESOS. For clarification purposes, the Proposed ESOS will only be implemented after the completion of the Proposed ESOS Termination. Please refer to Section 3.4 of this announcement for the reasons for terminating ESOS 2021.
2.5 Details of the Proposed ESOS
The Proposed ESOS entails the granting of ESOS options ("ESOS Options") to the employees and Directors of the Group (excluding dormant subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries incorporated out of Malaysia, if any), who fulfil the criteria of eligibility for participation in the new ESOS ("New ESOS" or "Scheme") ("Eligible Person(s)") to subscribe for TXB Shares in accordance with the by-laws governing the New ESOS ("By-Laws"). The ESOS Options shall entitle the Eligible Persons to subscribe for new Shares at an exercise price to be determined at a later date ("Option Price").
The Scheme will be administered and managed by a committee to be appointed and duly authorised by the Board ("ESOS Committee") and shall be governed by the By-Laws. The ESOS Committee will comprise such persons to be identified and appointed by the Board from time to time.
Under the Scheme, an Eligible Person may, at the sole and absolute discretion of the ESOS Committee, be offered in writing a certain number of ESOS Options ("Offer"), based on the eligibility criteria mentioned in Section 2.5.2 of this announcement, at the relevant offer dates ("Date of Offer").

In the event that the aggregate number of Shares allocated under the Scheme exceeds the Maximum ESOS Shares at any point in time as a result of the Company purchasing or cancelling its own shares in accordance with the provisions of the Act and/or undertaking any other corporate proposal(s) resulting in the reduction of the Company's total number of issued shares, no further ESOS Options shall be offered until such aggregate number of Shares to be issued under the New ESOS falls below the Maximum ESOS Shares.

2.5.3 Basis of allocation and maximum allowable allocation
The aggregate maximum number of Shares that may be allocated to any Eligible Persons shall be determined by the ESOS Committee provided that the number of new Shares allocated to any Eligible Persons who, either singly or collectively through persons connected with the Eligible Persons, holds 20% or more of the total number of issued shares of the Company (excluding treasury shares, if any), shall not exceed 10% of the Maximum ESOS Shares ("Maximum Allowable Allocation").
Subject to the Maximum ESOS Shares, Maximum Allowable Allocation and any adjustment which may be made under the By-Laws, the basis for determining the aggregate number of Shares that may be offered and/or allocated under the Scheme to the Eligible Persons shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of the ESOS Committee after taking into consideration, among others, the provisions of the Listing Requirements or other applicable regulatory requirements relating to employees' and/or directors' share issuance scheme and after taking into consideration factors which may include the Eligible Persons' position, performance, seniority, duration of service, potential for future contribution to the success and development of the Group.
The ESOS Committee may make one or more Offer to an Eligible Person provided that the aggregate number of Offer so offered to an Eligible Person throughout the entire Duration of the ESOS does not exceed the Maximum Allowable Allocation of such Eligible Person.
The Eligible Persons shall not participate in any deliberation or discussion of their own allocation and/or those of persons connected to them.
At any point in time during the Duration of the ESOS, not more than 75% of the total Shares made available under the Scheme shall be allocated, in aggregate, to the Directors and senior management of the Group (excluding dormant subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries incorporated out of Malaysia, if any) who are Eligible Persons, on the basis that they are crucial to the performance of the Group.
The ESOS Committee may from time to time at its sole and absolute discretion decide whether the allocation and granting of the ESOS Options to the Eligible Persons will be based on staggered granting during the Duration of the ESOS or in a single grant and/or whether the ESOS Options are subject to any vesting period, and if so, to determine the vesting conditions, including whether such vesting conditions are subject to performance target, of which such determination will be carried out at a later date after the establishment of the New ESOS and formation of the ESOS Committee.
2.5.4 Duration and termination of the Scheme
The Scheme, when implemented, shall be in force for a period of 5 years commencing from the effective date of its implementation ("Effective Date"), which shall be the date of full compliance with all relevant requirements of the Listing Requirements, including the following:
(i) submission of the final copy of the By-Laws to Bursa Securities together with a letter of compliance and a checklist showing compliance with the relevant requirements as may be prescribed by Bursa Securities (and/or such other documents as may be determined by Bursa Securities from time to time);

(iv) receipt of approval of any other relevant authorities whose approvals are necessary in respect of the Scheme, where applicable; and

On or before the expiry of the initial 5 year period, the Scheme may be extended for a further period of up to 5 years, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Board upon the recommendation by the ESOS Committee and without having to obtain the approval of the Company's shareholders, provided always that the total duration of the New ESOS shall not in aggregate exceed a duration of 10 years (or such other period as may be prescribed by Bursa Securities in compliance with the Listing Requirements or any other relevant authorities) from the Effective Date.
Subject to compliance with the Listing Requirements and any other relevant authorities, the Scheme may be terminated at any time before its expiry by the ESOS Committee upon approval of the Board without obtaining the consents from the Grantees or approvals from the shareholders of the Company provided that the Company makes an announcement immediately to Bursa Securities on the following:
(a) the effective date of termination of the Scheme ("Termination Date");
(b) the number of ESOS Options exercised and Shares vested; and

In the event of termination as stipulated above, the following provisions shall apply:
(aa) no further offers shall be made by the ESOS Committee from the Termination Date;
(bb) all offers which have yet to be accepted by Eligible Persons shall automatically lapse on the Termination Date;
(cc) all offers which have yet to be vested in the Eligible Persons shall automatically lapse on the Termination Date; and
(dd) all outstanding ESOS Options which have yet to be exercised and/or vested by the Grantees shall automatically lapse on the Termination Date and become null and void.
For the avoidance of doubt, ESOS Options which have been exercised but where the Shares have yet to be issued and/or transferred (via treasury shares, if any) or registered in the name of the Eligible Person or his estate as at the date of the resolution to terminate the Scheme shall remain effective and the Company shall issue and/or transfer or register the Shares accordingly.
2.5.5 Option Price
Subject to any adjustments in accordance with the By-Laws and pursuant to the Listing Requirements, the Option Price of each Share comprised in any ESOS Options shall be a price to be determined by the Board upon recommendation and suggestion by the ESOS Committee based on the 5D-VWAP of TXB Shares, immediately preceding the Date of Offer, with a discount of not more than 10% or such other percentage of discount as may be permitted by any prevailing guidelines issued by the Bursa Securities and/or any other relevant authorities as may be amended from time to time during the Duration of the ESOS.
The Option Price as determined in the manner set out above shall be conclusive and binding on the Grantees, subject to any adjustments that may be made in accordance with the By-Laws.

2.5.6 Ranking of the new TXB Shares to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the ESOS Options
The new TXB Shares to be allotted and issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options will be subject to the provisions of the Constitution of the Company, and shall, upon allotment and issuance, rank equally in all respects with the existing TXB Shares, save and except that the holders of such new TXB Shares will not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/or other forms of distributions which may be declared, made or paid to shareholders of the Company, prior to the date of allotment of such new TXB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options.
2.5.7 Listing and quotation of the new TXB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options
The new TXB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options will, upon allotment and issuance, be listed on the Main Market.
An application will be made to Bursa Securities for the listing and quotation of new TXB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options on the Main Market.
2.5.8 Retention/restriction period of new TXB Shares
Subject to the Constitution of the Company, the Listing Requirements and provision of the By-Laws, the new TXB Shares to be allotted and issued and/or transferred (via treasury shares, if any) to a Grantee (save for an eligible Director who is a non-executive Director) pursuant to the exercise of the ESOS Options will not be subject to any retention period and/or such other restrictions of transfer. However, the Company encourages Grantees to hold the new TXB Shares to be issued and/or transferred pursuant to the exercise of the ESOS Options as a long-term investment rather than for any speculative purposes and/or the realisation of any immediate gain.
Notwithstanding the above, a Grantee who is a non-executive Director of the Group must not sell, transfer or assign any Shares obtained through the exercise of the ESOS Options offered to him/her pursuant to the Scheme within 1 year from the Date of Offer of such ESOS Options.
The ESOS Committee shall be entitled to prescribe or impose, in relation to any Offer, any condition relating to any retention period or restriction on transfer of the Shares to be issued and/or transferred pursuant to the exercise of the ESOS Options in its sole and absolute discretion.
2.5.9 Alteration of share capital and adjustment
In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of the Company during the Duration of the ESOS, whether by way of a capitalisation issue, rights issue, bonus issue, consolidation or subdivision of TXB Shares or capital reduction or any other variation of capital being effected, the ESOS Committee may determine whether a material dilution or enlargement of the rights of the Participants would result from such alteration in the capital structure of the Company during the Duration of the ESOS and if it so determines (i.e. that a material dilution or enlargement of the rights of the Grantees would result from such alteration in the capital structure of the Company) adjustments in:
(i) the Option Price of the ESOS Options; and/or
(ii) the number of new Shares comprised in the unexercised ESOS Options granted to each Grantee,
may be made in order to prevent dilution or enlargement in compliance with the provisions of adjustments as provided under the By-Laws.
19
2.5.10 Modification, variation and/or amendment to the By-Laws
Subject to the By-Laws and compliance with the Listing Requirements and any other relevant rules and regulations, the ESOS Committee may at any time and from time to time recommend to the Board any modification, variation and/or amendment of the By-Laws ("Variations") as it shall at its sole and absolute discretion think fit and the Board shall have the power at any time and from time to time by resolution to make any modification, variation and/or amendment of the By-Laws under such recommendation.
The approval of the shareholders of the Company in a general meeting shall not be required in respect of the Variations provided that no Variations would:
(i) prejudice any rights which would have accrued to any Grantee without the prior consent or sanction of that Grantee;
(ii) increase the number of Shares available under the Scheme beyond the Maximum ESOS Shares;
(iii) prejudice any rights of the shareholders of the Company; or
(iv) alter to the advantage of an Eligible Person and/or Grantee(s) in respect of any matters which are required to be contained in the By-Laws pursuant to the Listing Requirements.
2.5.11 Utilisation of proceeds
The actual amount of proceeds to be received from the Proposed ESOS will depend on, among others, the actual number of ESOS Options granted and exercised at the relevant point of time and the Option Price. As such, the actual amount and timing of proceeds to be received upon exercise of ESOS Options and the timeframe for utilisation of such proceeds are not determinable at this juncture.
Notwithstanding the above, the Management intends to use the proceeds arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options for general working capital requirements of the Group, as and when the proceeds are received throughout the Duration of the ESOS, as the Board may deem fit. The general working capital requirements of the Group includes, among others, for the payments to suppliers and creditors, staff salaries and related costs as well as other operating and administrative expenses. The proceeds to be utilised for each component of working capital are subject to the Group's operating requirements at the time of receipt of the proceeds, hence the breakdown cannot be determined at this juncture.
Pending utilisation of proceeds raised as and when the ESOS Options are exercised, the proceeds will be placed in deposits with licensed financial institutions or short-term money market instruments. The interests derived from the deposits with financial institutions or any gains arising from the short-term money market instruments will be similarly used for the general working capital requirements of the Group.

3. RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR THE PROPOSALS
3.1 Proposed Share Capital Reduction
The Proposed Share Capital Reduction will allow the Group to rationalise its financial position by eliminating the accumulated losses by reducing the Company's issued share capital, which will reflect the value of underlying assets and financial position of the Group more accurately.
It will also enhance the Company's ability to declare and pay dividends out of its retained earnings in the future, as and when appropriate and when the Company returns to profitability. The elimination of the accumulated losses pursuant to the Proposed Share Capital Reduction will improve the credibility of the Group with its customers, suppliers, financiers and investors.
3.2 Proposed Debt Settlement
The Proposed Debt Settlement is intended to fully settle the debts owing to the Creditors. The Board has considered other available options and is of the opinion that the settlement via the allotment and issuance of Settlement Shares to the Creditors is a befitting option to settle the Settlement Sum as it would enable the Company to:
(i) settle the indebtedness without incurring additional debt obligation or interest expenses that may be incurred by the Group via other forms of financing such as bank borrowings;
(ii) reduce the Group's debts via the issuance of Settlement Shares whilst conserving the Group's cash and bank balances, which can instead be used for other purposes including the working capital for the Group's businesses and operations; and
(iii) strengthen the Company's equity base as well as the NA through capitalisation of debt into equity and improve the overall financial position of the Company immediately after the settlement of the Settlement Sum.
3.3 Proposed Private Placement
The Board had considered various methods of fund raising and is of the opinion that the Proposed Private Placement is the most appropriate avenue of fund raising for the Group to meet the purposes as stated in Section 2.3.6 of this announcement, taking into account the following:
(i) the Proposed Private Placement serves as an additional funding for the Group's working capital requirements without incurring additional interest cost as compared to bank borrowings or the issuance of debt instruments;
(ii) the Proposed Private Placement is an expeditious way of accessing the capital market to raise funds and can be implemented in multiple tranches. This flexibility would, in turn, mitigate the immediate dilution of existing shareholders' shareholdings in the Company; and
(iii) although the Proposed Private Placement will result in a dilution to the existing shareholders' shareholding as a result of the issuance of new Shares to the third-party investors, upon completion of the Proposed Private Placement, the enlarged capital base is expected to strengthen the Group's financial position and future earnings when the economic and financial benefits from the use of proceeds are realised.
The Proposed Private Placement will be able to address TXB Group's immediate cash flow requirements, further strengthen the capital base of the Company and is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of TXB Group when the economic and financial benefits of the usage of proceeds are realised.
21
3.4 Proposed ESOS Termination and Proposed ESOS
As at the LPD, a total of 37,361,900 Shares has been issued pursuant to the exercise of the ESOS options under the ESOS 2021, representing approximately 12.71% of the total number of issued Shares as at the LPD. As at the LPD, the Company does not have any outstanding ESOS options that were granted but yet to be exercised under the ESOS 2021.
Based on the above, the Company is only able to grant a maximum balance of 6,723,781 ESOS options under the ESOS 2021, representing approximately 2.29% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the LPD.
In view of the foregoing, the Company intends to replace ESOS 2021 with the Proposed ESOS to provide the Company with a continuous avenue to:
(i) recognise the contributions and services of the Eligible Persons that are considered vital to the operations and continued growth of the Group and to reward such Eligible Persons by allowing them to participate in the Group's profitability by way of potentially realising capital gains that may arise from appreciation in the price of the Shares upon exercise of the ESOS Options;
(ii) align the Eligible Persons' interests to those of the shareholders of TXB to drive longer term shareholder value enhancement;
(iii) motivate the Eligible Persons towards improved performance through greater productivity and loyalty;
(iv) instil a greater sense of belonging and dedication as the Eligible Persons are given the opportunity to participate directly in the long-term development and growth of the Group;
(v) attract and retain high-calibre Eligible Persons, and in turn enable the Group to better retain its talent pool and thereby minimise any potential loss of performing key personnel; and
(vi) serve as an alternative scheme of reward instead of bonus and salary increment which would increase the Group's expenses and cash outflow.
The Proposed ESOS is also extended to non-executive Directors of the Company in recognition of their contribution to the Company and to enable them to participate in its future growth. For clarification, the Proposed ESOS, which will also be extended to the non-executive Directors of the Group, is not expected to affect their independent judgment or their capacity to act in the best interests of the Group. The granting of ESOS Options is premised upon specific long-term performance metrics as determined by the ESOS Committee, which are tied to the overall success of the Group. This ensures that the decision-making of the non-executive Directors of the Group remains aligned with the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Premised to the above, the Board is of the view that it is in the interest of the Company to grant ESOS Options to the Eligible Persons to motivate and incentivise the Directors and employees to remain with the Group and continue to drive growth and improvement in the financial performance of the Group, which is aligned with the interests of the shareholders of the Company.

- INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND OVERVIEW AND PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
5.1 Overview and outlook of the Malaysian economy
The Malaysian economy grew by 5.2% in 2025 (2024: 5.1%), supported by resilient domestic demand that helped cushion the effects of a highly challenging global environment. Household spending remained firm, supported by positive labour market conditions and more targeted policy measures. Investment activity increased solidly, driven by continued progress in multi-year projects and strong investment approvals, particularly in high-technology services and advanced manufacturing.
The external sector demonstrated resilience despite shifting global trade dynamics and significant uncertainties. The current account of the balance of payments registered a higher surplus of RM31.8 billion, or 1.6% of gross domestic product ("GDP") (2024: RM27.7 billion, or 1.4% of GDP). This was contributed by a continued surplus in the goods account and a turnaround in the services account into a surplus. The surplus in the goods account was underpinned by sustained electrical and electronics exports. Malaysia's diversified export structure also provided continued resilience. While growth in intermediate imports moderated, capital imports, especially for data centre and information technology (IT) equipment, remained robust due to ongoing investment activity.
The turnaround in the services account was supported by the increase in information and communications technology-related services exports and higher travel receipts. Meanwhile, the financial account recorded a higher net acquisition of foreign assets of RM21.4 billion (2024: net acquisition of RM4.9 billion) amid net portfolio outflows. This was partly offset by strong net foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows.
(Source: Economic and Monetary Review 2025, Bank Negara Malaysia)
In 2026, domestic demand is expected to register a growth of 5.4%, steered by sustained private sector expenditure at 5.7%. Strong consumption and investment activities will keep the private sector's contribution significant at 4.5% to gross domestic product growth. Meanwhile, public expenditure is anticipated to rise by 4.4%, contributing 0.8% to overall growth.
Private consumption is projected to grow by 5.1%, driven by sustained income growth and favourable employment prospects. In addition, spillover effects from the implementation of Phase 2 of the Public Service Remuneration System, Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah and the BUDI MADANI RON95 (BUDI95) targeted subsidy programme are expected to provide further impetus to household spending, particularly among lower- and middle-income groups.

5.2 Overview and outlook of the Food & Beverage (“F&B”) industry in Malaysia
Dining out has become a growing norm, particularly among urban households. Spending on restaurants & accommodation services has increased across all income groups. This supports the findings by Khazanah Research Institute (2025) that expenditure related to dining out is growing robustly, reflecting a clear shift toward convenience and time-saving choices, despite steady price pressures at 3.7% annually. Study on per capita spending also suggests that dining out remains a preference regardless of income level. This can be concluded that eating out is no longer a luxury, but an embedded, aspirational part of modern household consumption. Even amid rising food away from home prices, many households continue to prioritise convenience, reflecting deeper lifestyle and cultural shifts behind cost-of-living concerns.
The F&B and accommodation subsector expanded by 8.4% in the first half of 2025, spurred by higher hotel occupancy rates and increased patronage at restaurants. Building from the notable surge in visitor arrivals by 17.9% in the first half of the year, the subsector is expected to expand by 10.5% in the second half of the year. This improvement is expected to be buoyed by an influx of visitors for both business and leisure purposes along with numerous meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions events in conjunction with ASEAN-Malaysia Chairmanship 2025. The upward momentum is boosted by improved accessibility through progressive visa policies and continuous improvement in regional connectivity as well as intensified promotional activities for Visit Malaysia 2026. The subsector is forecast to register a growth of 9.5% in 2025.
The F&B and accommodation subsector is poised to expand by 6.6%, in anticipation of higher visitor arrivals in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026 as well as numerous business and leisure events nationwide. The development of Special Tourism Investment Zones in Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak is expected to attract private investment and further boost tourism activities. The zones will showcase new tourism products focusing on arts, culture, heritage and natural attractions. In addition, visit state year programmes in Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Perlis and Selangor are expected to further promote domestic tourism activities and fuel the growth of the subsector.

5.3 Overview and outlook of the digital technology industry in Malaysia
Digital economy has been identified as one of the Key Economic Growth Area (KEGA) to realise the Shared Prosperity Vision (SPV) 2030, leading Malaysia towards developing sustainably, with fair economic distribution as well as equitable and inclusive growth. In supporting the SPV 2030 and leveraging on the opportunities brought about by COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Malaysia has undertaken conscience actions of streamlining the many key policies and efforts that lead to the ultimate development of digital economy in Malaysia, namely via the MyDigital agenda introduced on 19 February 2021.
(Source: National Policy Development on Digital Economy, Ministry of Investment, trade and Industry)
Malaysia's digital transformation strategy has successfully attracted leading firms such as Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft and Oracle, with investment commitments amounting to USD16.9 billion. Export expansion is also being supported through reimbursement grants under the Market Development Grant to assist businesses in promoting export products and services as well as accessing international markets, particularly in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. As of end-August 2025, 77.5% has been spent from the total allocation of RM40 million.
Emerging industries are shaping Malaysia's next economic frontier. The digital economy is growing rapidly with AI, cloud computing, 5G technology and e-commerce, while the green economy is advancing through renewable energy, electric vehicles (EVs) ecosystems and battery technology. Business benefit from efficiency gains and market expansion, through policies such as the National Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) Policy, NSS and the forthcoming National AI Action Plan 2030.
In enhancing competitiveness and scalability of micro, small and medium enterprises ("MSMEs"), Budget 2026 will accelerate the adoption of digitalisation by expanding access to digital tools, training and e-commerce capabilities. This will foster an innovation ecosystem that connects MSMEs with technology providers, research institutions and global supply chains, thus enabling more firms to participate in international markets while improving productivity.

5.4 Prospects of the Group
During the 18M-FPE 31 December 2025, the Group recorded a total consolidated revenue from continuing operations of RM81.47 million, contributed solely by the Group's F&B business. The revenue from the Group's F&B business for the 18M-FPE 31 December 2025 of RM81.47 million decreased by RM12.19 million or 13.02%, as compared to RM93.66 million of revenue generated by the F&B business recorded in the 18M-FPE 31 December 2024. The decline in revenue was mainly due to the disposal of subsidiaries operating the Group's F&B outlets in 2025, resulting in limited remaining operational contribution during the 18M-FPE 31 December 2025.
During the 18M-FPE 31 December 2025, Craveat International Sdn Bhd ("CISB"), a wholly owned subsidiary of TXB, has undertaken the following transactions:
a. disposal of its 100.00% equity interest in Caseria Pasifika Sdn Bhd ("CPSB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CISB, which involved in the operations of TGI Fridays restaurants under CPSB in Malaysia (save for the MyTown Kuala Lumpur Shopping Mall), through the sale and purchase agreement dated 18 September 2025, for a total purchase consideration of RM4.50 million, which was completed on 3 March 2026; and
b. disposal of its 100.00% equity interest in Teh Tarik Place Sdn Bhd ("TTPSB") and 51.00% equity interest in Bistroamericana (MyTown) Sdn Bhd ("B(MT)SB") which operated the TGI Fridays restaurant in MyTown Kuala Lumpur Shopping Mall, Malaysia, through the sale and purchase agreement dated 8 October 2025, for a total purchase consideration of RM1.30 million, which was completed on 8 October 2025,
(collectively, "Disposals").
As at the LPD, the Disposals have been completed. Therefore, CPSB and TTPSB have ceased as the wholly-owned subsidiaries of CISB and B(MT)SB has ceased as the 51.00% equity interest owned subsidiary of CISB, which in turn, the companies are no longer a subsidiary of TXB.
The completion of the disposals of Teh Tarik Place and TGI Friday's Malaysian restaurants allows the Group to rationalise its resources to improve operational efficiency of the Group's operation. The Group will leverage on its over 20 years' experience in the F&B industry to enhance its F&B's business comprising TGI Fridays (Beijing) and Italianries (Kuala Lumpur). The Group will concentrate on growing its Italianries restaurant brand in Malaysia and expand its F&B business into China by introducing new brands through partnerships and joint ventures centred on Malaysian cuisine. The Group aims to leverage China's interest in Malaysian flavours by collaborating with local partners to grow its presence there.
As for the Group's technology and digital transformation sector, following the restructuring and divestment of its technology subsidiaries, the Group is streamlining its resources and repositioning its technology business for future growth in smart city development in Malaysia which remains at an early stage and anticipates that further growth in this sector which will present opportunity for the Group to utilise smart technologies solutions.

6. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSALS AND PROPOSED ESOS TERMINATION
For information purposes, the Proposed ESOS Termination will not have any effect on the Company's issued share capital, substantial shareholders' shareholdings, NA, gearing, earnings and earnings per Share.
6.1 Share capital
The Proposed ESOS is not expected to have an immediate effect on the existing issued share capital of the Company until such time when the ESOS Options are exercised into new Shares. The issued share capital of the Company will increase progressively depending on the number of new Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options.
For illustrative purpose, the pro forma effects of the Proposals on the issued share capital of TXB as at the LPD is as follows:
| Minimum Scenario | Maximum Scenario | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of Shares | RM'000 | No. of Shares | RM'000 | |
| '000 | '000 | |||
| Issued share capital as at the LPD (excluding treasury shares) | 293,905 | 69,812 | 293,905 | 69,812 |
| To be cancelled pursuant to the Proposed Share Capital Reduction | - | - | - | (38,000) |
| After the Proposed Share Capital Reduction | 293,905 | 69,812 | 293,905 | 31,812 |
| Issuance of Settlement Shares (1) | - | - | 77,710 | 1,166 |
| After the Proposed Debt Settlement | 293,905 | 69,812 | 371,615 | 32,978 |
| Issuance of Placement Shares (2) | 88,171 | 1,323 | 111,484 | 1,672 |
| After the Proposed Private Placement | 382,076 | 71,135 | 483,099 | 34,650 |
| New Shares to be issued assuming full exercise of the ESOS Options | (3) 57,311 | (4) 860 | (3) 72,465 | (4) 1,087 |
| Enlarged issued share capital | 439,387 | 71,995 | 555,564 | 35,737 |
Notes:
(1) Based on the issue price of RM0.015 per Settlement Share.
(2) Based on an indicative issue price of RM0.015 per Placement Share.
(3) Assuming that the number of ESOS Options amounts to 15% of the total number of issued Shares after the Proposed Private Placement under the Minimum Scenario and Maximum Scenario respectively.
(4) Calculated based on an assumed exercise price of RM0.015 per ESOS Option, representing a discount of approximately 7.98% to the 5D-VWAP of TXB Shares up to and including the LPD of RM0.0163 per TXB Share.
6.2 NA, NA per TXB Share and gearing
The Proposed ESOS is not expected to have an immediate effect on the NA, NA per Share and gearing of the Group until such time when the ESOS Options are exercised into new Shares.
The effects on the NA, NA per Share and gearing of the Group will depend on, among others, the Option Price, number of ESOS Options to be granted, vesting conditions and number of new Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options.
For illustrative purposes, upon the exercise of the ESOS Options, the NA per Share is expected to:
(i) increase if the Option Price is higher than the NA per Share; or
(ii) decrease if the Option Price is lower than the NA per Share,
at the point of the exercise of the ESOS Options.
In addition, upon exercise of the ESOS Options, the gearing of the Group will decrease given that the NA will increase as a result of the exercise of the ESOS Options.
Any potential effect on the NA and gearing of the Group in the future will depend on the number of ESOS Options granted and exercised, the Option Price and the non-cash expenses arising from the granting of the ESOS Options under Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards 2 on share-based payment ("MFRS 2"). The quantum of such impact cannot be determined at this juncture as it will be measured at the date of granting the ESOS Options.

(14) Computed based on the total number of issued TXB Shares of 371,614,543 after issuance of 77,710,000 Settlement Shares pursuant to the Proposed Debt Settlement.
(15) Computed based on the total number of issued TXB Shares of 483,098,943 after issuance of 111,484,300 Placement Shares pursuant to the Proposed Private Placement under the Maximum Scenario.
(16) Computed based on the total number of issued TXB Shares of 555,563,643 after issuance of 72,464,800 new Shares issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options pursuant to the Proposed ESOS under the Maximum Scenario.

6.4 Earnings/(Losses) and earnings/(losses) per TXB Share
The Proposed ESOS is not expected to have any immediate material effect on the Group's consolidated earnings/loss and earnings per Share ("EPS") or loss per Share ("LPS") of TXB Group for the FYE 31 December 2026.
In accordance with the MFRS 2, the potential cost arising from the grant of the ESOS Options is measured at the Date of Offer based on the fair value of the ESOS Options granted and recognised as an expense over the vesting period of the ESOS Options.
The total potential cost of granting the ESOS Options would depend on, among others, the number of ESOS Options granted and the fair value of the ESOS Options. The fair value of the ESOS Options is dependent on, among others, the volatility of the Shares, the Option Price and the Duration of the ESOS. As such, the effect of the Proposed ESOS on the consolidated earnings or loss and EPS or LPS of the Group cannot be determined at this juncture. However, it should be noted that such expense recognised does not represent a cash outflow as it is merely an accounting treatment.
Excluding the effects of the potential cost arising from the grant of the ESOS Options pursuant to MFRS 2, the Proposed ESOS is expected to have a dilutive effect on the Group's EPS or LPS due to the increase in the number of issued Shares upon issuance of the new Shares as and when the ESOS Options are exercised in the future.
The Board has taken note of the potential impact of MFRS 2 on the Group's future earnings and shall take into consideration such impact in the allocation and granting of the ESOS Options to the Eligible Persons.
The Proposed Share Capital Reduction will not have any material effect on the consolidated earnings/losses and EPS/LPS of the Group for the FYE 31 December 2026.
The Proposed Debt Settlement and Proposed Private Placement are not expected to have an immediate material impact on the consolidated earnings/losses of the Group for the FYE 31 December 2026. The EPS/LPS is expected to be diluted as a result of the issuance of the Settlement Shares and Placement Shares.

Commentaries:
(a) FYE 31 December 2022 vs 12-month annualised FPE 30 June 2024
TXB Group's revenue from continuing operations decreased by RM11.79 million (15.88%) from RM74.23 million to RM62.44 million for 12-month annualised FPE 30 June 2024 (FPE 30 June 2024: RM93.66 million). This decrease was due to a huge decline in the Group's digital transformation and technology businesses from RM19.65 million in FYE 31 December 2022 to nil in 12-month annualised FPE 30 June 2024. This business segment was adversely impacted by the closure of previous project, fulfilling defects liability and to only service the existing contracts with no new projects secured, compared to the previous financial year. For the FPE 30 June 2024, the revenue received from such business segment amounting to RM0.72 million has been reclassified to revenue from discontinued operations.
In line with the decreased in revenue, TXB Group's LAT decreased by RM275.10 million (104.88%) to a loss of RM12.80 million for 12-month annualised FPE 30 June 2024 (FPE 30 June 2024: RM19.20 million) from a profit of RM262.30 million for FYE 31 December 2022, mainly due to the increase in administrative and operating expense arising from the one-off expenses/costs relating to the imputed impairment loss on the intangible asset, impairment on receivables, expenses incurred for the purpose of capital raising and corporate exercises.
Notwithstanding the above, TXB Group's LAT from continuing operations improved by RM26.22 million (113.85%) from a loss of RM23.03 million to a profit of RM3.19 million for the 12-month annualised FPE 30 June 2024 (FPE 30 June 2024: RM4.78 million), mainly due the reclassification of the losses attributable to the discontinued operations.
(b) 18M-FPE 30 June 2024 vs 18M-FPE 31 December 2025
TXB Group's revenue from continuing operations decreased by RM12.19 million (13.01%) from RM93.66 million for the FPE 30 June 2024 to RM81.47 million for the FPE 31 December 2025. Such decrease in revenue was mainly due to disposal of subsidiaries operating the Group's F&B outlets in September 2025, resulting in limited remaining operational contribution during the current financial period.
In line with the decrease in revenue, TXB Group's LAT increased by RM10.06 million (52.40%) to RM29.26 million for the 18M-FPE 31 December 2025 from a loss of RM19.20 million for the 18M-FPE 30 June 2024. In addition, the Group's PAT from continuing operations decreased by RM47.06 million (984.52%) from profit of RM4.78 million for the 18M-FPE 30 June 2024 to a loss of RM42.28 million for the 18M-FPE 31 December 2025. Such decrease in PAT was mainly attributable to bad debts written off, impairment losses on other receivables and intangible assets, loss on disposal of subsidiaries and expenses arising from employee share option scheme granted during the financial period ended.

2. IMPACT AND VALUE CREATION OF THE PROPOSALS TO THE GROUP AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS
2.1 Proposed Share Capital Reduction

The Proposed Debt Settlement are intended to partially settle the Group's indebtedness to the Creditors without incurring any cash outflow. Thereby, allowing the Group to conserve and use the cash resources for the working capital requirements.
