INTRODUCTION On behalf of the Board of Directors of Vivocom ("Board"), RHB Investment Bank Berhad ("RHBIB") wishes to announce that the Company proposes to undertake a private placement of up to 10% of the total number of issued shares of Vivocom to third party investors to be identified later. Further details of the Proposed Private Placement are set out in the ensuing sections. 2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED PRIVATE PLACEMENT The Company had obtained the approval from its shareholders at the last annual general meeting ("AGM") convened on 8 June 2017, whereby pursuant to Section 75 and Section 76 of the Companies Act 2016, the Board has been authorised to issue new shares in Vivocom provided that the number of new Vivocom shares does not exceed 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company ("General Mandate"). The authority under the General Mandate is expected to continue to be in force until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company. 2.1 Placement size The Proposed Private Placement involves an issuance of up to 10% of the total number of issued ordinary shares of Vivocom ("Vivocom Share(s)" or "Share(s)"). As at 19 June 2017, being the latest practicable date of this announcement ("LPD"), the total number of issued shares of Vivocom was 3,234,221,413 Vivocom Shares. In addition, as at the LPD, Vivocom has a total of 626,145,878 outstanding warrants 2013/ 2018 ("Warrant(s) B"), 250,367,513 outstanding warrants 2015/ 2020 ("Warrant(s) C") and 240,824,301 outstanding warrants 2015/ 2020 ("Warrant(s) D"). Each Warrant B carries the entitlement to subscribe for 1 new Vivocom Share during the 5 year exercise period of the Warrants B up to 8 September 2018 at an exercise price of RM0.20 per Warrant B. Each Warrant C carries the entitlement to subscribe for 1 new Vivocom Share during the 5 year exercise period of the Warrants C up to 22 January 2020 at an exercise price of RM0.10 per Warrant C. Each Warrant D carries the entitlement to subscribe for 1 new Vivocom Share during the 5 year exercise period of the Warrants D up to 8 July 2020 at an exercise price of RM0.10 per Warrant D.

The actual number of Placement Shares to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Private Placement will depend on the total number of issued shares of the Company on a date to be determined and announced later, after receipt of all relevant approvals for the Proposed Private Placement. 1

2 For illustrative purposes, throughout this announcement, the effects of the Proposed Private Placement shall be illustrated based on the following 2 scenarios:- Minimum Scenario : Assuming none of the outstanding Warrants B, Warrants C and Warrants D are exercised prior to the implementation of the Proposed Private Placement. Maximum Scenario : Assuming all of the outstanding Warrants B, Warrants C and Warrants D are exercised prior to the implementation of the Proposed Rights Issue with Warrants. 2.2 Basis of determining the issue price of the Placement Shares The issue price of the Placement Shares will be determined and fixed by the Board at a later date after receipt of all relevant approvals for the Proposed Private Placement. The Placement Shares will be issued at a price of not more than 10% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average market price ("VWAMP") of Vivocom Shares immediately preceding the price-fixing date. For illustrative purposes only, the indicative issue price of the Placement Shares is assumed at RM0.11 per Placement Share, which represents a discount of approximately 9.32% to the 5-day VWAMP of Vivocom Shares up to and including the LPD of RM per Vivocom Share. 2.3 Ranking of the Placement Shares The Placement Shares will, upon allotment and issuance, rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing Vivocom Shares, save and except that the Placement Shares will not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/ or any other forms of distribution that may be declared, made or paid for which the entitlement date precedes the date of allotment and issuance of the Placement Shares. 2.4 Listing of and quotation for the Placement Shares An application will be made to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securities") for the listing of and quotation for the Placement Shares on the Main Market of Bursa Securities. 2.5 Allocation to placees The Placement Shares will be placed out to third party investors to be identified at a later stage, where such investor(s) shall be person(s) who/ which qualify under Schedules 6 and 7 of the Capital Markets and Services Act, RHBIB will be appointed as the placement agent for the Proposed Private Placement after the receipt of all requisite approvals for the Proposed Private Placement.

The director, major shareholder, chief executive of Vivocom or a holding company of Vivocom, or a person connected with the director, the major shareholder or the chief executive; and ii.

3 In any event that the Board is unable to identify sufficient placees to subscribe for the entire portion of the Placement Shares at one time, the Proposed Private Placement may be implemented in tranches within 6 months from the date of approval of Bursa Securities for the Proposed Private Placement or any extended period as may be approved by Bursa Securities, subject always to the expiry of the General Mandate obtained on 8 June 2017 or a new mandate being obtained from the shareholders of the Company, as the case may be. 2.6 Utilisation of proceeds Based on the indicative issue price of RM0.11 per Placement Share, the Proposed Private Placement is expected to raise gross proceeds under the Minimum Scenario and Maximum Scenario of up to approximately RM35.58 million and RM47.87 million, respectively. The proceeds are intended to be utilised by Vivocom and its subsidiary companies ("Vivocom Group" or the "Group") in the manner set out below:- Details of utilisation Timeframe for utilisation <-----Amount of proceeds-----> Minimum Maximum Scenario Scenario Repayment of borrowings Within 24 months 10,000 10,000 General working capital *2 Within 24 months 25,276 37,567 Estimated expenses in relation to the Proposed Private Placement *3 Upon completion Total 35,576 47,867 Notes:- As at the LPD, the total borrowings of Vivocom Group (comprising bankers' acceptance, bank overdrafts, revolving credits, hire purchase payables and term loans) was RM38.73 million.
