INTRODUCTION On 15 March 2016, RHBIB had, on behalf of the Board, announced that AHB proposes to undertake an establishment of an ESOS of up to 10% of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company at any point in time. On 6 April 2016, RHBIB had, on behalf on the Board, announced that Bursa Securities had, vide its letter dated 5 April 2016, resolved to approve the listing of and quotation for such number of additional new AHB Shares, representing up to 10% of the issued and paid-up share capital of AHB, to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options on the Main Market of Bursa Securities. The purpose of this Circular is to provide the shareholders of AHB with the relevant information on the Proposed ESOS, as well as to seek the approval from the shareholders of AHB for the resolutions pertaining to the Proposed ESOS to be tabled at the forthcoming EGM of the Company. The notice of the forthcoming EGM and the Proxy Form are enclosed together with this Circular. SHAREHOLDERS OF AHB ARE ADVISED TO READ AND CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE CONTENTS OF THIS CIRCULAR TOGETHER WITH THE APPENDICES CONTAINED HEREIN BEFORE VOTING ON THE RESOLUTIONS PERTAINING TO THE PROPOSED ESOS TO BE TABLED AT THE FORTHCOMING EGM. 1

2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED ESOS The Proposed ESOS involves the granting of ESOS Options to the eligible executive employees and/ or executive Directors of AHB and its subsidiaries, which are not dormant, who meet the criteria of eligibility for participation in the Proposed ESOS as set out in the Bylaws of the Proposed ESOS to subscribe for new AHB Shares at specified prices to be determined in the manner set out in Section 2.5 of this Circular. The Proposed ESOS will be administered by the ESOS Committee and shall be governed by the Bylaws, a draft of which is set out in Appendix I of this Circular. The salient features of the Proposed ESOS are set out below:- 2.1 Maximum number of AHB Shares available under the Proposed ESOS The maximum number of new AHB Shares, which may be allotted pursuant to the Proposed ESOS shall not exceed in aggregate 10% of the total issued and paid-up share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares, if any) at any point in time during the existence of the Proposed ESOS. As at the LPD, the issued and paid-up share capital of AHB is RM117,146,093 comprising 117,146,093 AHB Shares. 2.2 Basis of allotment and maximum allowable allotment The maximum number of new AHB Shares that may be offered to an Eligible Person under the Proposed ESOS shall be determined at the discretion of the ESOS Committee after taking into consideration, amongst others and where relevant, the performance, contribution, employment grade, seniority and/ or length of service of the Eligible Person and shall subject to the following:- i. The Directors and senior management do not participate in the deliberation or discussion of their own allocation; ii. iii. The allocation to an Eligible Person, who either singly or collectively, through persons connected with the Eligible Person, holds 20% or more of the issued and paid-up share capital of AHB (excluding treasury shares, if any), must not exceed 10% of the total number of new AHB Shares to be issued under the Proposed ESOS; and Not more than 60% of the total number of new AHB Shares to be issued under the Proposed ESOS shall be allocated in aggregate to the Directors and senior management of AHB and its subsidiaries, which are not dormant, on the basis that they are crucial to the performance of AHB Group as determined by the ESOS Committee at their sole and absolute discretion ("60% Allocation Limit"). The 60% Allocation Limit is arrived at after taking into consideration the importance of the executive Directors of the Group (which includes the executive Directors of the key subsidiaries of the Company) and senior management of the Group who are key drivers to the continuous growth of the Group's pharmaceutical businesses. The executive Directors of the Group play a facilitative role in key business decisions, and their experience and network are crucial for the strategic direction of the Group. The senior management of the Group, which includes but not limited to chief executive officers, chief operating officers, senior vice presidents, financial controllers, general managers, possess the leadership skills and experience in the highly regulated pharmaceutical industry, which are critical competencies for the Group's operations. 2

The Group intends to reward and encourage the executive Directors and senior management of the Group for their loyalty, contribution and attainment of higher performance achievements towards the development and growth of the Group which are drivers for the enhancement of shareholders' value in the long-run. The ESOS Committee shall have the discretion in determining whether or not the allocation available shall be staggered over the duration of the Proposed ESOS. The ESOS Committee also has the discretion to determine whether the ESOS Options are subject to any vesting period and if so the vesting conditions and whether such vesting conditions are subject to performance target. As at the date of this Circular, the Company has yet to determine any specific performance targets which are required to be achieved before the ESOS Options can be exercised by an Eligible Person. For the avoidance of doubt, the ESOS Committee may from time to time take into consideration the specific performance targets for each Eligible Person such as, among others, sales and profit targets, number of new products developed and/ or number of new customers/ contracts secured, where relevant. The ESOS Committee has the discretion to determine whether the Eligible Person is required to achieve any specific performance target(s) before he/ she may exercise the ESOS Options granted to him/ her. Any such performance target(s) if set, shall be stated in the Offer letter to the Eligible Person. 2.3 Eligibility Only Eligible Persons who meet the following conditions as at the Offer Date are eligible to participate in the Proposed ESOS:- i. he/ she has attained the age of at least 18 years and is not an undischarged bankrupt; ii. iii. iv. if an executive employee, he/ she is in the employment of any corporation within AHB and/ or its subsidiaries, which are not dormant, who has been confirmed in service and has not served a notice to resign nor received a notice of termination; If an executive Director, he/ she is appointed and remains appointed as an executive Director of AHB and/ or its subsidiaries, which are not dormant; and/ or is under such categories and criteria that the ESOS Committee may from time to time decide at its discretion. In the case of an executive Director or a chief executive or a major shareholder of AHB and/ or persons connected to them, their specific allotments under the Proposed ESOS shall be approved by the shareholders of AHB at a general meeting of the Company. It is the intention of AHB that only the executive Director(s) of the Company shall be eligible to participate in the Proposed ESOS and all the non-executive Directors of the Company shall not be entitled to participate in the Proposed ESOS. For informative purpose, the only executive Director of AHB at this juncture is Dr. Kee Kirk Chin, being the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AHB. 3

Eligibility, however, does not confer an Eligible Person a claim or right to participate in or any rights whatsoever under the Proposed ESOS and an Eligible Person does not acquire or have any rights over or in connection with the ESOS Option(s) or the AHB Shares comprised in the Proposed ESOS unless the ESOS Committee has made an Offer to the Eligible Person in the manner as set out in the Bylaws and the Eligible Person has accepted the Offer in accordance with the terms of the Offer and the Proposed ESOS. 2.4 Duration The Proposed ESOS, when implemented, shall be in force for a period of five (5) years from the Effective Date. On or before the expiry of the above initial five (5)-year period, the Proposed ESOS may be extended by the Board at its absolute discretion, without having to obtain approval from the Company's shareholders, for a further period of up to five (5) years, but will not in aggregate exceed ten (10) years from the Effective Date or such longer period as may be allowed by the relevant authorities. 2.5 Basis of determining the Subscription Price Subject to any adjustments made under the Bylaws and pursuant to the Listing Requirements, the Subscription Price shall be:- i. The five (5)-day weighted average market price of AHB Shares immediately preceding the Offer Date with a discount of not more than 10% or such other percentage of discount as may be permitted by Bursa Securities and/ or any other relevant authorities from time to time; or ii. The par value of AHB Shares or at such minimum subscription price as may be permitted by the provisions of the Act and the Listing Requirements, whichever is higher, as determined by the Board upon recommendation of the ESOS Committee which shall be binding and conclusive. 2.6 Ranking of the ESOS Options and new AHB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options The Grantees will not be entitled to any voting right or participation in any form of distribution and/ or offer of further securities in the Company until and unless such Grantees exercise their ESOS Options into new AHB Shares. The new AHB Shares to be allotted upon the exercise of the ESOS Options shall, upon allotment, issuance and full payment, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued and paid-up AHB Shares, save and except that the new AHB Shares will not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotment and/ or other forms of distribution ("Distribution") that may be declared, made or paid to shareholders, for which the entitlement date for the Distribution precedes the date of allotment of the new AHB Shares. The new AHB Shares will be subject to all provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of AHB and such amendments thereafter, if any. 2.7 Holding of AHB Shares The new AHB Shares to be allotted and issued to the Grantees pursuant to the exercise of the ESOS Options will not be subject to any holding period or restriction on transfer, disposal and/ or assignment. 4

2.8 Listing of and quotation for the new AHB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options The approval has been obtained from Bursa Securities vide its letter dated 5 April 2016 for the listing of and quotation for the new AHB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options on the Main Market of Bursa Securities. 3. UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS The actual amount of proceeds to be raised from the Proposed ESOS will depend on the number of ESOS Options granted and exercised at the relevant point of time and the Subscription Price payable upon the exercise of the ESOS Options. The proceeds arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options will be utilised for the working capital requirements of AHB Group, as and when received, within the tenure of the ESOS. As such, the exact time frame for utilisation of the proceeds is not determinable at this juncture. The proceeds for working capital will be utilised to finance the Group's day-to-day operations. These expenses include, amongst others, purchase of raw materials, maintenance charges, payment to suppliers and general expenses such as travelling, utilities, staff training and staff welfare. The estimated expenses for the Proposed ESOS amounts to RM110,000. 4. RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED ESOS The implementation of the Proposed ESOS primarily serves to align the interests of the Eligible Persons to the corporate goals of AHB Group. The Proposed ESOS will provide the Eligible Persons with an opportunity to have equity participation in the Company and help achieve the positive objectives as set out below:- i. To recognise the contribution of the Eligible Persons whose services are valued and considered vital to the operations and continued growth of AHB Group; ii. iii. iv. To motivate the Eligible Persons towards improved performance through greater productivity and loyalty; To inculcate a greater sense of belonging and dedication as the Eligible Persons are given the opportunity to participate directly in the equity of the Company; and To reward the Eligible Persons by allowing them to participate in the Group's profitability and eventually realise any potential capital gains arising from possible appreciation in the value of AHB Shares, upon exercising of the ESOS Options. 5. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ESOS 5.1 Issued and paid-up share capital The Proposed ESOS is not expected to have an immediate effect on the existing issued and paid-up share capital of the Company until such time when the ESOS Options to be granted under the Proposed ESOS are exercised. The issued and paidup share capital of the Company will increase progressively depending on the number of new AHB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options that may be granted under the Proposed ESOS. 5

For illustrative purpose, the proforma effects of the Proposed ESOS on the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company, based on the assumption that the number of ESOS Options granted amounts to 10% of the issued and paid-up share capital of AHB, are set out below:- No. of Shares RM Issued and paid-up share capital as at the LPD 117,146,093 117,146,093 Shares to be issued assuming full exercise of the ESOS Options granted 11,714,609 11,714,609 Enlarged issued and paid-up share capital 128,860,702 128,860,702 5.2 NA per Share and gearing The Proposed ESOS is not expected to have an immediate effect on the NA per Share and gearing of the Group until such time when the ESOS Options to be granted under the Proposed ESOS are exercised. The effects on the NA per Share and gearing of the Group will depend on, amongst others, the Subscription Price of the ESOS Options, the number of new AHB Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the ESOS Options and the potential effect on the future earnings of the Group arising from the adoption of the MFRS 2 on share-based payment. Nevertheless, the Company has taken note of the potential impact of the MFRS 2 on the Group's future NA per Share and shall take into consideration such impact on the allocation and granting of ESOS Options to the Eligible Persons. 5.3 Earnings and EPS The Proposed ESOS may have an effect on the earnings of AHB Group for the financial year ending 31 December 2016 and up to 10 years due to the possible impact of the MFRS 2 on share-based payment. However, any potential effect on the EPS of AHB Group in the future would depend on the number of ESOS Options granted and exercised, and the Subscription Price payable upon the exercise of the ESOS Options, as well as the impact of the MFRS 2 on share-based payment. Under the MFRS 2 on share-based payment, the cost arising from the issuance of the ESOS Options is measured by the fair value of the ESOS Options, which is expected to vest at each Offer Date and is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, thereby reducing the earnings of AHB Group. The fair value of the ESOS Options is determined after taking into consideration, amongst others, the historical volatility of AHB Shares, the risk-free rate, the Subscription Price of the ESOS Options and time to maturity of the ESOS Options from the vesting date of the ESOS Options. Hence, the potential effect on the EPS of AHB Group, as a consequence of the recognition of the said cost, cannot be determined at this juncture. Nevertheless, the Company has taken note of the potential impact of the MFRS 2 on AHB Group's future earnings and shall take into consideration such impact on the allocation and granting of ESOS Options to the Eligible Persons. 6

5.4 Substantial shareholders' shareholding The Proposed ESOS is not expected to have an immediate effect on the substantial shareholders' shareholdings in AHB until such time when the ESOS Options to be granted under the Proposed ESOS are exercised. Any potential effect on the substantial shareholdings in AHB will depend on the number of ESOS Options granted and new AHB Shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the ESOS Options at any point in time. For illustrative purpose, the proforma effects of the Proposed ESOS on the shareholdings of the substantial shareholders of the Company, based on the assumption that the number of ESOS Options granted amounts to 10% of the issued and paid-up share capital of AHB, are set out below:- Substantial shareholders Shareholdings as at the LPD <-----------Direct----------><----------Indirect---------><-----------Direct----------><----------Indirect---------> No. of Shares % No. of Shares % I Assuming full exercise of the ESOS Options granted No. of Shares % No. of Shares % Apex Pharmacy Holdings Sdn Bhd 47,554,956 40.59 - - 47,554,956 36.90 - - Washington H Soul Pattinson and Company Limited 35,462,720 30.27 - - 35,462,720 27.52 - - Xepa Holdings Sdn Bhd 462,250 0.39 47,554,956 *1 40.59 462,250 0.36 47,554,956 *1 36.90 Apex Holdings (Pte) Ltd 318,750 0.27 48,017,206 *1 40.99 318,750 0.25 48,017,206 *1 37.26 Kee Tah Peng @ Hee Teck Peng 320,312 0.27 48,382,831 *4 41.30 320,312 0.25 48,382,831 *4 37.55 Dr. Kee Kirk Chin 950,000 *2 0.81 48,335,956 *1 41.26 2,121,460 *5 1.65 48,335,956 *1 37.51 Xepa Holdings Pte Ltd - - 48,335,956 *1 41.26 - - 48,335,956 *1 37.51 Yang Liew Fang - - 48,335,956 *1 41.26 - - 48,335,956 *1 37.51 Kee Kirk Chuen 46,875 *3 0.04 48,335,956 *1 41.26 46,875 *3 0.04 48,335,956 *1 37.51 Dr. Kee Loo - - 48,335,956 *1 41.26 - - 48,335,956 *1 37.51 United Engineers Limited - - 47,554,956 *1 40.59 - - 47,554,956 *1 36.90 UE UMC Pte Ltd - - 47,554,956 *1 40.59 - - 47,554,956 *1 36.90 7
