BY ORDER OF THE BOARD, TAN SOI LIM (LS00565) SUJATA MENON A/P K.R.D.S. CHANDRAN (LS 02004) Secretaries Johor Bahru 24 November 2000 Notes: (a) A member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at this Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A proxy need not be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting in person to vote. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointer or his attorney duly authorised in writing or if such appointer is a corporation, under its Common Seal or the hand of its attorney. (b) Where a member appoints two proxies, the appointments shall be invalid unless he specifies the proportions of his holding to be represented by each proxy. (c) The Proxy Form must be deposited with the Secretary at the Registered Office of the Company at Suite 11.2B, Level 11, Menara Pelangi, No. 2, Jalan Kuning, Taman Pelangi, 80400 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia not less than 48 hours before the time set for the meeting or any adjournament thereof. (d) Explanatory Note to Special Business The proposed Resolution 7 is in line with the Company's expansion plan which may involve the issue of new shares (other than bonus or rights issues). Under the Companies Act, 1965, the Directors would have to call for a general meeting to approve the issue of new shares even though the number of shares involved is less than 10 per cent of the issued capital of the Company for the time being. In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a general meeting, it is thus considered appropriate to seek shareholders' approval for the Directors to issue shares (other than bonus or rights issues) in the Company up to an aggregate amount not exceeding 10 per cent of the issued capital of the Company for the time being and also to empower the Directors to obtain approval from the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange for the listing of and quotation for the additional shares so issued. This authority unless revoked or varied at a general meeting will expire at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company. 3
