As such, the exact amount and timeframe for utilisation of the proceeds, if any, could not be determined at this juncture.

Pending the utilisation of proceeds from the exercise of the ESOS Options for the abovementioned purposes, the said proceeds are intended to be placed as deposits with banks or licensed financial institutions or used for investments in short term deposits, money market or debt instruments, as the Directors of the Company may deem appropriate at their absolute discretion. The proceeds raised are expected to improve the cash flows of the UCrest Group and to fund its future capital expenditure and operating expenses. 3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSALS 3.1 Proposed Private Placement The Proposed Private Placement will strengthen the capital position of UCrest and provide UCrest with the necessary funds for working capital for the operations of the Group.

4.4 Earnings and EPS The effects of the Proposed Private Placement on the future earnings of UCrest Group would depend on, inter alia, the returns to be generated from the proposed utilisation of proceeds arising from the Proposed Private Placement as set out in Section 2.6 of this announcement. The resultant increase in the number of UCrest Shares in issue pursuant to the Proposed Private Placement may accordingly dilute the consolidated EPS of UCrest Group if the consolidated earnings of the UCrest Group do not increase in tandem with such increase in the number of UCrest Shares. Nevertheless, the extent of dilution to the consolidated EPS of UCrest Group is dependent upon, amongst others, the eventual number of UCrest Shares to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Private Placement and the future earnings of the UCrest Group. With the adoption of FRS 2 on Share Based Payment as issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board, the potential cost of awarding the new UCrest Shares in satisfaction of the ESOS Options exercised will need to be measured at fair value on the date of award of the ESOS Options and recognised as an expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss at the point of granting such ESOS Options or over the vesting period of such ESOS Options. The extent of the effect of the Proposed ESOS on the consolidated earnings and EPS of the Company cannot be determined at this juncture as it would depend on the fair value of the ESOS Options and/or UCrest Shares as at the respective dates of award of the ESOS Options. However, the potential cost of the award of ESOS Options under the Proposed ESOS does not represent a cash outflow and is only an accounting treatment. The EPS of UCrest will be diluted as a result of the increase in the number of UCrest Shares issued under the Proposed ESOS. The effect of any exercise of ESOS Options on the consolidated EPS of the UCrest Group would depend on including, but not limited to, the number of ESOS Options exercised at any point in time and the returns generated by the UCrest Group, if any, from the utilisation of the proceeds arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options. The Board has taken note of the potential impact of FRS 2 on the future earnings of UCrest and shall take into consideration of such impact in the allocation of ESOS Options to the Eligible Persons. 4.5 Convertible securities As at the LPD, save for the outstanding 136,766,150 Warrants A of the Company, UCrest does not have any other convertible securities. The Proposed Private Placement will not give rise to any adjustment to the exercise price and/or the number of Warrants A pursuant to the provisions of the Warrants A Deed Poll dated 13 February 2013 provided that the issue price of the Placement Shares is not priced at more than 10.00% discount to the VWAP of UCrest Shares for the five market days immediately before the Price Fixing Date. The Proposed ESOS will not give rise to any adjustment to the exercise price and/or the number of Warrants A pursuant to the provisions of the Warrants A Deed Poll dated 13 February 2013 provided that the Option Price is not priced at more than 10.00% discount to the VWAP of UCrest Shares for the five market days immediately before the Date of Offer. 13
