BRIGHT PACKAGING INDUSTRY BERHAD (Company No. 161776-W) (Incorporated in Malaysia under the Act) Registered office: B-11-10 Level 11 Megan Avenue II Jalan Yap Kwan Seng 50450 Kuala Lumpur 21 January 2015 Board of Directors YBhg Datuk Seri Syed Ali Bin Abbas Alhabshee (Independent Non-Executive Chairman) Nik Mustapha Bin Muhamad (Executive Deputy Chairman) Yap Kok Eng (Executive Director) Yeong Siew Lee (Independent Non-Executive Director) Lye Jun Fei (Independent Non-Executive Director) Tee Wee Keat (Independent Non-Executive Director) To: Our shareholders Dear Sir/Madam, BRIGHT PACKAGING INDUSTRY BERHAD PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK 1. INTRODUCTION On 20 January 2015, our Board announced that our Company proposes to undertake the Proposed Share Buy-Back and to seek our shareholders approval for the Proposed Share Buy-Back at the forthcoming AGM to be convened. Further details on the Proposed Share Buy-Back are set out in the ensuing sections. THE PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE RELEVANT INFORMATION ON THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK, TO SET OUT OUR BOARD S RECOMMENDATION ON THE PROPOSAL AND TO SEEK YOUR APPROVAL FOR THE RESOLUTIONS PERTAINING TO THE PROPOSALS TO BE TABLED AT OUR FORTHCOMING AGM. YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AND CONSIDER THE CONTENTS AND APPENDIX OF THIS CIRCULAR CAREFULLY BEFORE VOTING ON THE RESOLUTIONS PERTAINING TO THE PROPOSALS AT OUR FORTHCOMING AGM. 1

2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK Proposed Share Buy-Back The Proposed Share Buy-Back entails the authority for our Company to purchase up to ten percent (10%) of our issued and paid-up share capital from the open market on Bursa Securities through Stockbrokers to be appointed at a later date. The details of the Proposed Share Buy-Back are as follows: 2.1 Effective period The Proposed Share Buy-Back, once approved by our shareholders, shall remain in force until: (i) (ii) (iii) the conclusion of the next AGM of our Company at which time such authority shall lapse unless by ordinary resolution passed at that AGM, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; the expiration of the period within which the next AGM of our Company is required by law to be held; or revoked or varied by ordinary resolution passed by our shareholders in a general meeting, 2.2 Quantum whichever occurs first. The Proposed Share Buy-Back will allow our Board to exercise the power to purchase our own Shares at any time within the abovementioned period. As at the LPD, our total issued and paid-up share capital is RM71,419,900 divided into 142,839,800 Bright Shares. The Proposed Share Buy-Back will enable us to purchase up to 14,283,980 Shares representing ten percent (10%) of our issued and paid-up share capital. The Shares will be purchased from the open market on Bursa Securities through Stockbrokers to be appointed at a later date. The actual number of Shares to be purchased and the timing of the purchase will depend on, inter alia, market conditions, the availability of the retained earnings and/or share premium reserves of our Company and financial resources. Pursuant to Paragraph 8.02 (1) of the Listing Requirements, our Company must have at least 25% of our total listed Shares (excluding treasury shares) in the hands of public shareholders. As at the LPD, the Record of Depositors of our Company showed that 17,654,073 Shares representing 40.79% of our issued and paid-up share capital being held by the public shareholders. Our Board is mindful of the compliance with the above requirement and will take into consideration when making any purchase of our Shares pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back. 2.3 Source of funds The funding for the Proposed Share Buy-Back will be from internally generated funds and/or borrowings, the proportion of which will depend on the quantum of purchase consideration as well as the availability of the internally generated fund and bank borrowings at the time of purchase. In the event that our Company decides to utilise bank borrowings to fund the Proposed Share Buy-Back, our Board will ensure that our Company has sufficient financial capability to repay the bank borrowings and that the bank borrowings will not have a material impact on our cash flow. 2

Pursuant to Paragraph 12.10 (1) of the Listing Requirements, any purchase of our Shares pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back must be made wholly from the retained earnings and/or share premium reserves of our Company. Our Board will ensure that the maximum funds to be utilised for the purchase of our Shares shall not exceed the total retained earnings and/or share premium of our Company, if any, at the time of purchase. Based on our latest audited statement of financial position as at 31 August 2014, our Company have RM21,504,110 retained earnings and our share premium stood at RM9,664,635. 2.4 Purchase price Our Company may only purchase our own Shares on Bursa Securities at a price which is not more than 15% above the WAMP of our Shares for the five (5) market days immediately before the purchase. 2.5 Status and treatment of our Shares so purchased Pursuant to Section 67A of the Act, our Board may deal with the purchased Shares in the following manner: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) cancel all or part of our Shares so purchased; retain all or part of our Shares so purchased as treasury shares; distribute the treasury shares as share dividends to our shareholders for the time being and/or resell the treasury shares on Bursa Securities; and/or any combination of the above. In the event that the purchased Shares are held as treasury shares, the rights attached to them as to voting, dividends and participation in any other distribution and otherwise suspended and the treasury shares shall not be taken into account in calculating the number or percentage of Shares or of a class of shares in our Company for any purpose including the determination of substantial shareholdings, take-overs, notices, the requisitioning of meetings, the quorum for meetings and the result of a vote on resolution(s) at meetings. As at the LPD, our Board has yet to make a decision with regard to the treatment of any Share may be purchased pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back. Our Board will take into consideration the effects of such treatment to our Group in arriving at our decision. In addition, an immediate announcement will be made to Bursa Securities upon each purchase, cancellation and/or resale of Shares pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back. 2.6 Pricing for resale When our Company decides to resell all or part of the treasury shares on Bursa Securities, our Company may only do so at a price which is: (i) (ii) not less than the WAMP of our Shares for the five (5) market days immediately before the resale; or not more than five percent (5%) discount to the WAMP of our Shares for the five (5) market days immediately before the resale provided that: 3

(a) (b) the resale takes place not earlier than thirty (30) days from the date of purchase; and the resale price is not less than the cost of purchase of the Shares being resold. 2.7 Potential advantages and disadvantages The Proposed Share Buy-Back, if implemented, is expected to have the following potential advantages to our Company and shareholders: Our Company (i) As at 31 August 2014, cash and cash balances of our Company stood at approximately RM30.78 million. The Proposed Share Buy- Back will allow our Company to utilise such surplus financial resources more efficiently; and Our shareholders (i) To provide our Board with the flexibility to stabilise the supply and demand of our Shares traded on Bursa Securities and therefore, reduce the volatility of our Share price and the risk of investing in our Shares to our shareholders; (ii) To provide our Board with an option to resell any Share so purchased and retained as treasury share at a price higher than its purchase price in order to realise capital gains for our Company through the resale. Such proceeds may be subsequently used for working capital and/or distributed as dividends to our shareholders. (ii) To reward our shareholders should any Share so purchased is retained as treasury share and distributed as share dividend to our shareholders; and (iii) If any Share so purchased is cancelled and all things being equal, our EPS will be enhanced (1) and our shareholders are expected to share a greater portion of our Group s earnings. Note: (1) The effects of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on the EPS of the Group are set out in Section 4.5 of this Circular. The Proposed Share Buy-Back, if implemented, may have the following potential disadvantages to our Company and shareholders: Our Company As any purchase of our Shares will reduce our financial resources, it may result in our Company foregoing better investment opportunities that may emerge in the future, or deprive our interest income that can be derived from the funds utilised for any purchase of our Shares. However, such decrease in our financial resources may be temporary since our Shares purchased may be subsequently resold. Our shareholders As any purchase of our Shares can only be made out of the retained earnings and/or share premium reserves of our Company, the amount available from these accounts for distribution of dividends to our shareholders may decrease accordingly. Notwithstanding the above, our Board is of the view that the Proposed Share Buy-Back is not expected to have any potential material disadvantage to our Company as well as shareholders. The Proposed Share Buy-Back will be implemented only after cautious 4

consideration of the financial resources of our Company and the potential impacts on our Company and shareholders. 2.8 Implication of the Code As set out in Section 4.2 of this Circular, the major shareholder hold approximately 32.98% of the voting Shares of our Company as at the LPD. Assuming ten percent (10%) of our issued and paid up share capital are purchased from shareholders other than the major shareholder pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back, the shareholdings of the major shareholder will increase from 32.98% to 36.64% upon completion of such purchases and therefore, it will trigger the obligation for the Parties Acting in Concert to undertake a MGO pursuant to the Code. Our Board does not intend to cause any shareholder to trigger the obligation to undertake a MGO under the Code pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back. As such, our Board will be mindful of the above implications of the Code when making any purchase of our own Shares pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back. 2.9 Previous purchase of Share, resale and/or cancellation of treasury share The Company had purchased 100 units of its own shares on 12 June 2013. 3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK Proposed Share Buy-Back The rationale for the Proposed Shares Buy-Back is set out in Section 2.7 of this Circular (in the section pertaining to the potential advantages of the Proposed Share Buy-Back to our Company and shareholders). 4. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK The pro-forma effects of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on our Company and/or Group are as follows: 4.1 Share capital The pro-forma effects of the Proposed Par Value Reduction and Proposed Share Buy-Back on our issued and paid-up share capital are set out as follows: Par value (RM) No. of Shares ( 000) RM 000 As at the LPD 0.50 142,840 71,420 To be cancelled pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back (1) - (14,284) (7,142) After the Proposed Share Buy-Back 0.50 128,556 64,278 Note: (1) Assuming ten percent (10%) of our issued and paid-up share capital that may be purchased pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back are cancelled. If the Shares so purchased are held as treasury shares, resold or distributed, the Proposed Share Buy-Back will not have any effect on our issued and paid-up share capital. 5

4.2 Substantial shareholders and Directors shareholdings The effects of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on our substantial shareholders and Directors shareholdings, assuming ten percent (10%) of our issued and paid-up share capital are purchased from shareholders other than our substantial shareholders and Directors pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back, are as follows: Name As at the LPD After the Proposed Share Buy-Back Direct Indirect Direct Indirect No. of Shares ( 000) % No. of Shares ( 000) % No. of Shares ( 000) % No. of Shares ( 000) % Wong SK Holdings Sdn Bhd.

(2) Our Directors. THE REST OF THIS PAGE HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 6

4.3 NA per Share and gearing The effect of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on the NA per Share of our Group will depend on, inter alia, the number of Shares so purchased, the purchase price of such Shares, the effective funding cost to finance such purchase (if any), or any loss in interest income and the treatment of the Shares so purchased. If the shares so purchased are retained as treasury shares or subsequently cancelled, the Proposed Share Buy-Back will cause the NA per Share of our Group to reduce in the event the purchase price of such Shares exceeds the NA per Share of our Group at the time of purchase, and vice versa. In the event the treasury shares are resold through Bursa Securities for a profit, the NA per Share of our Group will increase accordingly. If the treasury shares are distributed as share dividends, the NA per Share of our Company will decrease by the cost of the treasury shares. As at the LPD, our Board has yet to make a decision with regard to the treatment of any Share may be purchased pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back. As at 31 August 2014, our Group did not have any outstanding borrowing. The effects of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on the gearing of our Group will depend on the amount of borrowings utilised to fund the purchase of our Shares. Any borrowing utilised to fund such purchase will increase the gearing of our Group. 4.4 Working capital 4.5 EPS The Proposed Share Buy-Back, as and when implemented, will reduce the cash and cash balances as well as working capital of our Group, the quantum of which will depend on, inter alia, the number of Shares so purchased and the purchase price for such Shares. For any Share so purchased which is kept as treasury share, upon resale, the working capital of the Group will increase upon the receipt of the proceeds of the resale. The quantum of the increase in the working capital will depend on the actual selling price of the treasury shares and the number of treasury shares sold. The effects of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on the EPS of our Group will depend on, inter alia, the number of Shares so purchased, the purchase price of such Shares, the effective funding cost to our Group to finance the purchase (if any), any loss in interest income to our Group or the opportunity cost in relation to other investment opportunities and the proposed treatment of the Shares so purchased. If the Shares so purchased are held as treasury shares and subsequently resold, the extent of the effects on the EPS of our Group will depend on the number of treasury shares resold, the actual selling price of such treasury shares and the effective gain arising from the purchase (if any). If the Shares so purchased are retained as treasury shares or subsequently cancelled, the number of Shares applied in the computation of our EPS will be reduced accordingly, and the Proposed Share Buy-Back will have a positive impact on the EPS of our Group, provided that the income forgone and the interest expense incurred (if any) on such purchase are less than the EPS prior to such purchase. 4.6 Dividend The Proposed Share Buy-Back may have an impact on our Company s dividend payment, if any, as it may reduce the cash available which may otherwise be used for dividend payments. However, the decision of the Board to declare and pay dividends in the future would depend on the financial performance, cash flow position and financing requirements of our Group. 7

However, our Board will have the option of distributing the treasury shares as share dividends to our shareholders. 4.7 Market price of our Shares Any purchase of our Shares in the future pursuant to the Proposed Share Buy-Back may have a positive impact on our share price, the quantum of which will depend on, inter alia, the number of Shares so purchased, investors sentiment, timeframe and execution of orders on the open market. As at the LPD, our share price closed at RM0.455. The number of Shares held by our shareholders will remain unchanged pursuant to the Proposal as there will be no adjustment to the number of Shares upon implementation of the Proposal. 4.8 Convertible securities As at the LPD, our Company has 57,713,200 outstanding Warrants and 21,425,900 Options. 5. APPROVALS REQUIRED The Proposal is subject to and conditional upon approvals being obtained from the following: (i) (ii) our shareholders at an AGM to be convened for the Proposal; any other relevant authority, if required. The Proposal is not conditional upon any other corporate proposals undertaken or to be undertaken by our Company, if any. 6. HISTORICAL SHARE PRICES The monthly highest and lowest prices of our Shares as traded on Bursa Securities for the past twelve (12) months are as follows: 2014 January February March April May Highest (RM) 0.735 0.710 0.695 0.825 0.730 Lowest (RM) 0.565 0.550 0.615 0.665 0.655 June 0.725 0.625 July 0.685 0.630 August 0.660 0.590 September 0.595 0.545 October 0.555 0.460 November 0.500 0.455 December 0.495 0.350 The last transacted market price of our Shares immediately prior to the announcements of the Proposals on 20 January 2015 was RM0.545. The last transacted market price of our Shares on the LPD was RM0.455. 8

7. INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND PERSONS CONNECTED WITH THEM Save for the inadvertent increase in percentage shareholdings and/or voting rights of the major shareholder as a result of the Proposed Share Buy-Back disclosed in Section 4.2 above, none of the Directors and major shareholders and persons connected with the Directors and/or major shareholders have any interest, direct or indirect, in the Proposed Share Buy-Back. 8. DIRECTORS RECOMMENDATION The Board having considered all aspects of the Proposed Share Buy-Back, is of the opinion that the Proposed Shares Buy-Back is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board recommends that you vote in favour of the ordinary resolution in respect of the Proposed Share Buy-Back to be tabled at the forthcoming AGM. 9.
