Notes to the Agenda:- Agenda 1 This agenda item is meant for discussion only as the provisions of Section 169(1) of the Companies Act, 1965 do not require shareholders to approve annual audited financial statements and hence it is not put forward for voting. Agenda 3 The re-appointment of Tan Sri Abu Talib bin Othman, person who has attained the age of 70 years, as Director of the Company to hold office until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company shall take effect if the proposed resolution has been passed by a majority of not less than three-fourths (3/4) of such members as being entitled to vote in person or where proxies are allowed, by proxy, at this AGM. Agenda 4 The Ordinary Resolution 6 is proposed to ensure that the Directors are adequately remunerated so that the Company will be able to attract and retain persons of calibre and credibility with the necessary skills and experience to be members of the Board of the Company. The skills and experience of the Directors are required as the Company moves into a new business segment and also more particularly towards the application of and in compliance with the Best Practices in Corporate Governance set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012, which will be for the benefit of the shareholders of the Company. The Board of Directors takes guidance from independent directors remuneration and compensation market research reports (for example, KPMG s Study on Non-Executive Directors 2013 Profile and Pay) in determining the level of fee appropriate for Directors of the Company. All the Directors of the Company will abstain from voting on this Ordinary Resolution. Agenda 6 The proposed Resolution 8 is a renewal of mandate given by the shareholders at the previous AGM held on 28 June 2013, primarily to give flexibility to the Board of Directors to issue and allot shares at any time in their absolute discretion and for such purposes as they consider would be in the interest of the Company without convening a general meeting. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the next AGM of the Company. The Company continues to consider opportunities to broaden its earnings potential. If any of the expansion/diversification proposals involves the issue of new shares, the Directors, under certain circumstance when the opportunity arises, would have to convene a general meeting to approve the issue of new shares even though the number involved may be less than 10% of the issue capital.
Notes to the Agenda (continued) In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a general meeting to approve such issue of shares, it is thus considered appropriate that the Directors be empowered to issue shares in the Company, up to any amount not exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time. The renewed authority will provide flexibility to the Company for the allotment of shares for the purpose of the possible fund raising activities for the purpose of funding future project/investment, working capital and/or acquisitions. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company. No shares have been issued and allotted by the Company pursuant to Section 132D of the Companies Act 1965 since obtaining the said authority from its shareholders at the last AGM held on 28 June 2013 except for new shares arising from the exercise of Warrants and ESOS. Agenda 7 & 8 Details of the Recurrent Related Party Transactions under the Proposed Renewal of Existing Shareholders Mandate and Proposed New Shareholders Mandate are set out in the Circular to Shareholders dated 4 June 2014.
