Governing law : Laws of Malaysia. 2.1.2 Basis of determining and justification for the issue price of the RCPS and the Conversion Ratio (i) Issue price of the RCPS The Board will determine and fix the issue price of the RCPS at a later date ("Price Fixing Date") after receipt of all relevant approvals but before the announcement of the Entitlement Date, and taking into consideration the following:- (a) (b) The issue price of the RCPS shall be deemed sufficiently attractive to encourage the subscription of the RCPS by the Entitled Shareholders while taking into consideration the funding requirements of LBGB Group as set out in Section 2.1.6 of this Circular; and 5-day VWAMP of LBGB Shares immediately preceding the Price Fixing Date. For illustration purposes only, the indicative issue price of the RCPS is set at RM1.10 per RCPS and the Proposed Rights Issue is expected to raise the aggregate proceeds of up to RM165.66 million. (ii) Conversion Ratio The Board will determine and fix the Conversion Ratio (as defined in Section 2.1.1 of this Circular) at the Price Fixing Date after receipt of all relevant approvals but before the announcement of the Entitlement Date, and taking into consideration the final issue price of the RCPS and the 5-day VWAMP of LBGB Shares immediately preceding the Price Fixing Date. For illustration purposes only, the indicative Conversion Ratio is set at 1 new LBGB Share for every 2 RCPS. Based on the indicative issue price as set out in Section 2.1.2(a) of this Circular and the indicative Conversion Ratio, the indicative implied conversion price is RM2.20 for every new LBGB Share ("Implied Conversion Price"), representing a premium of approximately 15.18% to the 5-day VWAMP of LBGB Shares up to and including 8 March 2017, being the market day immediately preceding the date of the announcement in relation to the Proposals, of RM1.91. Under the Maximum Scenario, based on the indicative Conversion Ratio, the maximum number of new LBGB Shares to be issued upon full conversion of the RCPS is 75,299,063 new LBGB Shares. 5

2.1.3 Substantial shareholders' undertakings and Minimum Subscription Level As set out in Section 2.1 of this Circular, the Board has determined to undertake the Proposed Rights Issue on the Minimum Subscription Level. The Minimum Subscription Level has been determined by the Board after taking into consideration the minimum level of funds that the Company intends to raise from the Proposed Rights Issue which will be channelled towards the proposed utilisation of proceeds as set out in Section 2.1.6 of this Circular. In this regard, the Board intends to implement the Proposed Rights Issue on the Minimum Subscription Level and to raise minimum gross proceeds of RM67,900,506. To meet the Minimum Subscription Level, the Undertaking Shareholders had, on 23 May 2017, provided their irrevocable undertakings to subscribe in full for their respective entitlements under the Proposed Rights Issue based on their shareholdings as at the LPD, and also any additional entitlements under the Proposed Rights Issue if they increase their respective shareholdings in LBGB from the LPD up to and including the Entitlement Date. In addition, Gaterich had also undertaken that it will not exercise 1,969,500 of its Warrants B prior to the Entitlement Date. A summary of the Undertakings is set out below:- Undertaking Shareholders Direct shareholdings as at the LPD Entitlement and Undertakings under the Proposed Rights Issue Funding requirements *3 No. of Shares % *1 No. of RCPS % *2 RM Gaterich 294,958,106 44.36 58,991,621 44.36 64,890,783 Tan Sri Lim Hock San 3,808,200 0.57 761,640 0.57 837,804 Datuk Wira Lim Hock Guan 9,872,360 1.48 1,974,472 1.48 2,171,919 Total 308,638,666 46.41 61,727,733 46.41 67,900,506 Notes:- *1 *2 *3 Calculated based on the issued share capital of LBGB excluding all the existing treasury shares as at the LPD Computed based on a total of 132,989,544 RCPS available for subscription under the Maximum Scenario 1 Calculated based on an indicative issue price of RM1.10 per RCPS Accordingly, based on the indicative issue price of RM1.10 per RCPS, the funding requirements for the Undertaking Shareholders pursuant to their Undertakings are approximately RM67.90 million. The Undertaking Shareholders have confirmed that they have sufficient financial resources to take up their respective entitlements as mentioned above. All the said confirmations have been verified by RHBIB, being the Adviser for the Proposals. In addition, the Undertaking Shareholders have also undertaken to observe and comply at all times with the provisions of the Code and the Rules in relation to the consequences of the Undertakings. 6

There will not be any implication to the public shareholding spread of LBGB in the event that none of the Entitled Shareholders and/ or their renounce(s), other than the Undertaking Shareholders, subscribe for their entitlements under the Proposed Rights Issue. As the Proposed Rights Issue will be undertaken on a Minimum Subscription Level, taking into account the Undertakings, LBGB does not intend to procure any underwriting arrangement for the remaining RCPS not subscribed for by other Entitled Shareholders and/ or their renouncee(s). 2.1.4 Ranking of the RCPS and new LBGB Shares to be issued arising from the conversion of the RCPS Please refer to Section 2.1.1 of this Circular for the ranking of RCPS and new LBGB Shares to be issued arising from the conversion of the RCPS. 2.1.5 Listing of and quotation for the RCPS and new LBGB Shares to be issued arising from the conversion of the RCPS The approval from Bursa Securities has been obtained via its letter dated 12 May 2017 for the admission of the RCPS to the official list of Bursa Securities as well as the listing of and quotation for the RCPS and the new LBGB Shares to be issued arising from the conversion of the RCPS on the Main Market of Bursa Securities. 2.1.6 Utilisation of proceeds Based on the indicative issue price of RM1.10 per RCPS, the Proposed Rights Issue is expected to raise gross proceeds of up to RM165.66 million and the intended manner of utilisation are as set out below:- Property development projects *1 General working capital *2 Estimated expenses in relation to the Proposals *3 Timeframe for utilisation Within 24 months from completion of the Proposals Within 18 months from completion of the Proposals Within 1 month from completion of the Proposals Minimum Maximum Maximum Allocation Scenario Scenario 1 Scenario 2 % RM'000 RM'000 RM'000 95.00 63,840 138,309 156,710 5.00 3,360 7,279 8,248 100.00 67,200 145,588 164,958 700 700 700 Total 67,900 146,288 165,658 7

The interest derived from the deposits with financial institutions or any gains arising from the short-term money market instruments will be used as additional working capital of the Group. No proceeds will be raised upon conversion of the RCPS into new LBGB Shares as the conversion will be satisfied by the holders of the RCPS surrendering such number of RCPS based on the Conversion Ratio to receive the new LBGB Shares. For avoidance of doubt, the indicative Conversion Ratio is set at 1 new LBGB Share for every 2 RCPS held. As such, there will be no cash proceeds from the holders to convert the RCPS into LBGB Shares. 2.1.7 Foreign Entitled Shareholders This Circular is issued for the purposes of, amongst others, explaining the details of the Proposed Rights Issue and does not constitute the making available of, an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of LBGB for the subscription or purchase of any securities.

Please refer to Appendix I of this Circular for further details of the Proposed Amendments. 3. RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSALS 3.1 Proposed Rights Issue The Proposed Rights Issue is undertaken to raise funds for the Group to fund its property development projects as well as the general working capital requirements as set out in Section 2.1.6 of this Circular. After due consideration of the various methods of fund raising and other types of instruments, the Board is of the opinion that the Proposed Rights Issue is the most appropriate means for raising funds due to the following:- i. The issuance of RCPS would enable the Company to secure funding of up to RM165.66 million; 10

ii. iii. iv. The issuance of RCPS would minimise the immediate dilution effect on the basic EPS of the Company as the RCPS are expected to be converted over a period of time i.e. at any time commencing from the Issue Date up to the relevant redemption date of the RCPS; Subscription for RCPS to be issued under the Proposed Rights Issue will provide the Entitled Shareholders with an opportunity to further increase their equity participation in the Company via the option to convert the RCPS held by them into new LBGB Shares at a predetermined price; and As the RCPS will be listed and traded on the Main Market of Bursa Securities, depending on the future performance of the Group, the Entitled Shareholders and/ or potential investors may be able to benefit from future capital appreciation in the RCPS and/ or new LBGB Shares. 3.2 Proposed Amendments The Proposed Amendments are undertaken to facilitate the implementation of the Proposed Rights Issue. 4. INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND FUTURE PROSPECTS 4.1 Overview and outlook on the Malaysian economy The Malaysian economy registered a growth of 4.2% in 2016. Domestic demand continued to anchor growth, supported mainly by private sector spending. Private consumption growth, in particular, was sustained at 6.1%, supported by continued employment and wage growth following the increase in minimum wage and civil servant salaries. Government measures to boost disposable income such as the temporary reduction in employees' contribution to the Employees Provident Fund, higher Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia payouts and tax relief to lower-income tax payers also supported household spending. Public consumption growth moderated to 1.0% following the expenditure rationalisation adopted by the Government in early 2016 given the lower petroleumrelated revenue because of low crude oil prices. Public investment recorded a smaller rate of decline in 2016 due to the smaller contraction in spending on fixed assets by public corporations given the higher investment in the downstream oil and gas industry, and the transportation and utilities sub-sectors. On the supply side, all economic sectors continued to expand in 2016, with the exception of the agriculture sector. Agriculture production declined by 5.1%, as crude palm oil output was affected by the El Niño weather phenomenon. While growth in the services sector was higher at 5.6% following sustained demand in the consumerrelated sectors, other sectors expanded more moderately. 11

Positive prospects for the Malaysian economy in 2017 are premised upon expectations of an improving global economy and the continued growth in domestic demand. The Malaysian economy is projected to register growth of 4.3%-4.8% in 2017. The improvement in global growth is expected to generate positive spillovers to the domestic economy through the trade, investment and income channels. Malaysia's export performance will benefit from higher growth among key trading partners and the projected recovery in commodity prices. On the domestic front, investment activity is expected to be underpinned by capital expenditure in the export-oriented industries, particularly in the manufacturing sector. This, together with the continued roll-out of large-scale infrastructure projects will support investment activity going forward. Meanwhile, private consumption will be sustained by continued wage growth and recent pro-growth Government measures. For the public sector, the Government remains committed to fiscal consolidation, which will be achieved through the reprioritization of public spending and lower expenditure on non-critical items. Despite this, the public sector is still projected to contribute positively to growth through public investment in selected sectors. (Source: Bank Negara Malaysia Annual Report 2016) Economic management in 2017 will continue to focus on promoting growth and strengthening the country's economic fundamentals to enable the nation to benefit from improving global growth and trade. In this respect, through a process of extensive engagement, the Government has identified several issues that are of concern to the rakyat and business community. At the same time, there is also a need to unshackle the economy from various structural issues which may hamper Malaysia's long-term growth potential. From a broader perspective, these issues are also opportunities for the Government to strengthen domestic demand as the engine of economic growth and unleash the true potential of the domestic economy. Given the nation's strong economic fundamentals coupled with the 2017 Budget strategies and programmes, the economy is expected to expand between 4% and 5% in 2017. The expansion translates into GNI per capita growth of 5% from RM37,812 to RM39,699. On the demand side, growth will emanate from domestic demand, particularly private consumption and private investment expenditures which are expected to expand 6.3% and 5.8%, respectively. In tandem with higher investment activities, the savings-investment gap is expected to narrow to 0.5% 1.5% of GNI (2016: 1% 1.5%). Inflation will remain manageable, while the economy continues to operate under full employment. All sectors of the economy are expected to contribute to growth, with the services and manufacturing sectors spearheading the expansion. With the Government's commitment to enhancing revenue and rein in expenditure, the fiscal deficit is expected to improve further to 3% of GDP. These developments will strengthen the economic fundamentals and augurs well for a nation in transition from an upper-middle to a high-income and advanced nation.

4.2 Outlook on the property development and construction industry The residential subsector grew 10.4% supported by steady growth in incoming supply at 13.1% to 816,174 units (January June 2015: 13.5%; 10.3%; 721,730 units). Klang Valley, accounting for 26.2%, continued to contribute the most of the incoming supply mainly due to increasing affordable housing schemes (January June 2015: 25.6%). However, during the period, new approvals declined significantly by 32% to 44,389 units as developers are clearing unsold properties, while buyers are more cautious amid increasing uncertainties in the global environment (January June 2015: -2.1%; 65,231 units). Likewise, housing starts declined 16.8% to 60,378 units (January - June 2015: 15%; 72,545 units). Of which, terrace houses and condominiums/ apartments accounted for 43.6% (26,324 units) and 29.9% (18,070 units), respectively, while low-end houses 11% (6,617 units). The take-up rate for residential units was lower at 25.6% in the first half of 2016 largely reflecting softer demand for high-end units (January - June 2015: 29.8%). During the first half of 2016, a total of 102,096 residential properties valued at RM32.7 billion were transacted, accounting for 62.4% of total property transactions (January - June 2015: 119,446 transactions; RM36.5 billion; 64.1%). Residential properties transacted in Kuala Lumpur recorded a marked contraction of 20.1%, followed by Selangor (-14.1%), Pulau Pinang (-13.5%), and Johor (-10.9%). The softening of the transaction was partly due to the buyers' cautious sentiment and measures to contain the accelerating house prices. The residential overhang increased 63.1% to 13,438 units with a total value of RM7.6 billion during the first half of 2016 (January - June 2015: -24.1 %; 8,238 units; RM2.7 billion) with Johor accounting for the highest overhang units at 21.1 % (2015: 23.3%). Malaysia House Price Index ("MHPI") continues to moderate reflecting implementation of various measures to contain spiraling prices. The MHPI stood at 235.4 points (at base year 2000) during the second quarter ("Q2") of 2016, increasing 5.3%, the lowest since the fourth quarter of 2009 (Q2 of 2015: 223.5 points; 7.5%). All states recorded a positive growth except Kelantan (-0.2%) and Sabah (-0.6%). Johor registered the highest increase of 7%, followed by Kuala Lumpur (6.9%), Selangor (6.6%), Kedah (6.5%) and Negeri Sembilan (6.2%). The average all-house price increased to RM326,241 in the Q2 of 2016 relative to RM309,705 for the corresponding period in 2015, with detached houses recording the highest increase at 6.5%, followed by high rise units (6%) and terrace houses (5.7%). (Source: Chapter 3: Economic Performances and Prospects, Economic Report 2016/ 2017, Ministry of Finance Malaysia) Residential market would remain the focus of the industry, particularly the affordable segment. The on-going incentives to assist the first home buyers namely the First House Deposit Financing Scheme (MyDeposit) launched in April 2016 shows the continuous commitment of the Government in ensuring that each household is given a fair opportunity to own a home. The response towards MyDeposit scheme was overwhelming with more than 13,000 applications till 30 April 2016. The Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government has targeted between 6,000 to 7,000 eligible applications for the RM200 million fund. The property market would be able to endure this challenging period. Given the resiliency of the economy and the optimistic 2016 economic growth at 4.4%, though property market may see moderation in market activity, the slowdown would be manageable as the market fundamentals remain sound and stable.

For home buyers, bank financing for the purchase of residential properties for qualified borrowers continued to be available. Growth in loans outstanding for home purchase averaged at 13.2% during 2012-2014 (2008-2009: 9.8%). While this moderated to 9.2% in 2016, this moderation was due to the softer housing market. The demand for affordable housing had supported the expansion in end-financing by banks for residential property purchases. As at end-2016, about 56% of loans outstanding were for houses priced below RM250,000, while loans for houses priced between RM250,000 to RM500,000 accounted for another 25%. Rejection rates for housing loan applications also fell further to 23.6% in 2016 (2012-2015: 26.1%). These trends are evidence that financing remains ample for eligible home buyers. Similarly, house builders continued to have access to bank financing. Loans for real estate activities and residential property construction increased at a healthy rate of 11.7% in 2016 (2012-2014: 18.5%), reflecting the fewer property launches and incoming supply. Growth in the construction sector is projected to expand at a faster pace in 2017, driven mainly by new and existing civil engineering projects in the utilities, transportation and petrochemical segments. (Source: Chapter 4 - Outlook and Policy in 2017, Bank Negara Malaysia Annual Report 2016) It is evident that the housing market has not provided an adequate supply of affordable housing for the lower and middle-income households. In 2014, the shortage of affordable houses was estimated to be 960,000 units. This gap is evident across most states, with Sabah and Sarawak having the highest deficit, accounting for 50% of the total shortage in Malaysia. Among the four states with the highest concentration of urban population, the shortage of affordable housing was largest in Kuala Lumpur, followed by Penang and Johor. On the other hand, Selangor was found to have a surplus of affordable houses. However, this could be an overestimation given that there is a significant number of low-cost housing in the state that may fail to meet the quality and location requirements of households. While there are multiple programmes by the private sector, and the Federal and State Governments to supply affordable housing, the current level of house-building is not sufficient to meet the demand. If the current trends in population growth, urbanisation and income growth persist, the supply-demand mismatch in the affordable housing segment is expected to worsen going forward. Trends in the country's demography shows that as Malaysia's population increases, the number of households increases at a faster rate than population growth, reflecting the trend of shrinking household size. This suggests that the demand for affordable housing is likely to increase going forward. By 2020, the shortage of affordable housing could very well be more than 1 million units. (Source: Bank Negara Malaysia Annual Report 2016) 4.3 Future prospects of LBGB Group Our Group is principally involved in the property development industry. We are also involved in construction, motor racing, trading and other activities. The property development segment of our group contributed approximately 86.0% to the Group's revenue while the remaining segments contributed approximately 14.0% to the Group's revenue during the FYE 31 December 2016. For the FYE 31 December 2016, our Group achieved record sales of RM1.24 billion, representing an increase of 20.3% as compared to the FYE 31 December 2015. Unbilled sales also increased to RM1.40 billion as at 31 December 2016 from RM1.00 billion a year ago, representing an increase of approximately 40.0%. Approximately 87.0 % of our sales for the FYE 31 December 2016 was from projects in the Klang Valley while the remaining 13.0% was from projects in Pahang, Johor and Perak. 14
