Dato Kamarul Zaman bin Mohd Ali Goon Heng Wah Ng Kee Leen Ha Tiing Tai Wong Chin Yen Saw Wah Theng To: The Warrant Holders of Gamuda Berhad Dear Sir/Madam, The adjustments made to the subscription price and number of outstanding Warrants 1996/2006 pursuant to the bonus issue of 322,213,836 new ordinary shares of RM1.00 each credited as fully paid-up on the basis of one (1) new ordinary share for every one (1) existing ordinary share held in Gamuda Berhad on 29 February INTRODUCTION On 30 September 1999, your Board of Directors announced a proposed bonus issue of up to 371,153,973 new Shares on the basis of one (1) new Share for every one (1) existing Share held in the Company on a date to be determined ( Proposed Bonus Issue ). Subsequently, on the 26 January 2000, your Board of Directors announced that the books closure date for the Proposed Bonus Issue shall be 29 February As such, Warrant Holders of the Company whose names appeared in the Record of Depositors at 5.00 p.m. on 29 February 2000 ( Books Closure Date ) were entitled to new Warrants 1996/2006 pursuant to the Proposed Bonus Issue. The purpose of this Information Circular is to provide you with the relevant information on the effects of the Adjustments pursuant to Condition 4 of the Second Schedule of the Deed Polls. 1

5 2. ENTITLEMENT OF WARRANT HOLDERS As at the Books Closure Date, there were in issue 38,325,321 Warrants 1996/2006 which entitle the holders of such Warrants 1996/2006 to subscribe for new Shares on the basis of one (1) Share for every one (1) existing Warrant 1996/2006 held at a subscription price of RM8.60 per Warrant 1996/2006. Condition 4 of the Second Schedule of the Deed Polls stipulates that adjustments are required to be made to the subscription price and number of outstanding Warrants 1996/2006 in the event of an issue by the Company of shares to shareholders credited as fully paid by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves. 3. RATIONALE FOR THE ADJUSTMENTS The Adjustments have been made in accordance with the provisions of the Deed Polls constituting the Warrants 1996/2006 and to mitigate equity dilution such that the status of the Warrant Holders would not be prejudiced after the Bonus Issue. The rights and obligations of each Warrant Holder remains unchanged. 4. ADJUSTMENTS TO WARRANTS 1996/2006 The adjustments set out below are based on the 38,325,321 outstanding Warrants 1996/2006 as at the Books Closure Date. The Adjustments have been made in accordance with the provisions under Condition 4 of the Second Schedule of the Deed Polls. The subscription price and number of outstanding Warrants 1996/2006 have been adjusted in the manner set out below:- Adjusted subscription price = Number of Warrants 1996/2006 existing after Adjustment = where: A A + B A + B A x X x T A = the aggregate number of issued and fully paid-up Shares immediately before the Bonus Issue = 322,213,836 B = the aggregate number of Shares to be issued pursuant to the Bonus Issue = 322,213,836 X = the subscription price in force immediately before the Bonus Issue = RM8.60 T = the existing number of Warrants 1996/2006 in issue before the Bonus Issue. = 38,325,321 Applying the formulae above, the revised subscription price and number of outstanding Warrants 1996/2006 after the Adjustments are as follows:- Adjusted subscription price = 322,213, ,213, ,213,836 = RM4.30 x RM8.60 Number of Warrants 1996/2006 existing after Adjustment = 322,213, ,213, ,213,836 x 38,325,321 = 76,650,642 Pursuant to the Company s Bonus Issue, each Warrant Holder is therefore entitled to one (1) additional Warrant 1996/2006 for every one (1) existing Warrant 1996/2006 held as at the Books Closure Date. 2

6 Subsequent to the Adjustments, the Warrants 1996/2006 will entitle the Warrant Holders to subscribe for new Shares on the basis of one (1) new Share for every one (1) new Warrant 1996/2006 at a subscription price of RM4.30 per Warrant 1996/ EFFECTIVE DATE OF ADJUSTMENTS The Adjustments were effective from 1 March 2000, being the market day immediately following the Books Closure Date. 6.
