UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS The Proposed Bonus Issue of will not raise any funds. The Proposed Bonus Issue of Warrants will not raise any immediate funds upon its issuance as the Warrants will be issued at no cost to the entitled shareholders of. The exact quantum of the future proceeds that may be raised by would depend upon the exercise price of the Warrants and the actual number of Warrants exercised during the tenure of the Warrants.

The shareholders who are entitled to the Warrants may also benefit from any potential capital appreciation arising from the exercise of the Warrants; to strengthen its financial position with enhanced shareholders funds and enlarged capital base pursuant to the exercise of Warrants into new which is expected to enhance the liquidity of on the Main Market of Bursa Securities; the Warrants will enable the Company to raise further proceeds as and when the Warrants are exercised, for working capital requirements of the Group; 7

8 The incorporation of a step-down pricing mechanism encourages long-term holding and promotes confidence and continuous support as it is more attractive to exercise the Warrants in the later part of the tenure of the Warrants.
