On 28 February 2020, the Company had announced its Unaudited Consolidated Results for the Fourth Quarter and Financial Year Ended 31 December 2019 (“FYE 2019”), and that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) had recommended a final single-tier dividend of 5.50 sen per ordinary share for the FYE 2019 (“Proposed Final Single-Tier Dividend”), subject to the approval of shareholders at the forthcoming Twenty-Fifth Annual General Meeting (“25th AGM”) of the Company.

As a result of the Movement Control Order ("MCO") imposed by the Government of Malaysia effective from 18 March 2020 to 12 May 2020 under the provision of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 and the Police Act 1967 to curb the spread of the coronavirus ("Covid-19") infection in the country, the signing of the Financial Statements for the FYE 2019 of the Company and the Annual Report 2019 for issuance within the stipulated deadline of 30 April 2020 were affected and delayed.

Following the extension of MCO, Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) has granted an extension of time of up till 30 June 2020 to all listed issuers for the issuance of annual reports which are due by 30 April 2020.

In view of the challenges faced, the Company will utilise this extension of time granted by Bursa Securities and will ensure the Annual Report 2019 of the Company is issued latest by 30 June 2020 as granted by Bursa Securities on the basis that the extended MCO is uplifted within the time frame as announced and to defer the holding of the 25th AGM to a date to be determined and announced later.

In view of the deferment of holding of the 25th AGM, the Board has resolved to change the entitlement and payment dates of the Proposed Final Single-Tier Dividend at the same quantum of 5.50 sen per ordinary share to 14 August 2020 and 28 August 2020 respectively.

Please refer to our amended announcement dated 4 May 2020 relating thereto for further details.
