The successful applicants for the Rights Shares will be given Warrants C on the basis of 2 Warrants C for every 5 Rights Shares subscribed for.
In accordance with the procedure for excess application as stipulated in the AP, the Board has allotted the excess Rights Shares with Warrants C on a fair and equitable basis in the following priority:
(i) firstly, to minimise the incidence of odd lots;
(ii) secondly, on a pro-rata basis and in board lots, to Entitled Shareholders who have applied for excess Rights Shares with Warrants C, taking into consideration their respective shareholdings in the Company as at the Entitlement Date;
(iii) thirdly, on a pro-rata basis and in board lots, to Entitled Shareholders who have applied for excess Rights Shares with Warrants C, taking into consideration the quantum of their respective Excess Applications; and
(iv) finally, on a pro-rata basis and in board lots, to renouncee(s)/transferee(s) who has/have applied for excess Rights Shares with Warrants C, taking into consideration the quantum of their respective Excess Applications.
The excess Rights Shares with Warrants C will firstly be allocated to minimise the odd lots held by each applicant of the Excess Application. Thereafter, the allocation process will perform steps (ii), (iii) and (iv) in succession. Any remaining balance of the excess Rights Shares with Warrants C will be allocated by performing the same sequence of allocation i.e., steps (ii), (iii) and (iv) again in succession until all excess Rights Shares with Warrants C are allotted.
Nevertheless, the Board reserves the rights to allot any excess Rights Shares with Warrants C applied for in such manner as the Board deems fit and expedient and in the best interest of the Company, subject always to such allocation being made on a fair and equitable basis, and that the intention of the Board as set out in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above is achieved. The Board also reserves the rights at its absolute discretion not to accept any Excess Applications, in full or in part, without assigning any reason thereto.
The Rights Shares with Warrants C are expected to be listed and quoted on the Main Market of Bursa Securities on 9 June 2025.
