In this regard, CA IT and OB are named as First and Second Defendants respectively in the Suit.
The Plaintiff is claiming for, amongst others, the following relief:
(a) Against Both Defendants Jointly and Severally
- RM7,500,000.00;
- Contractual interest at 1.1% per month on RM7,500,000 pursuant to the Corporate Guarantee, from the date of demand until full settlement;
- Post-judgment interest at 5% per annum until full payment;
- Legal costs and expenses; and
- Any further relief the Court deems appropriate.
(b) Additional Claim Against the 1st Defendant Only
- The balance amount of RM142,246.46, being the excess above the RM7.5 million guarantee cap, bringing the total alleged debt to RM7,642,246.46.
- Contractual interest under the service contract on the outstanding sums from the dates of the invoices until full settlement.
The Suit is fixed for case management by way of e-Review at Kuala Lumpur High Court on 23 September 2026 at 9.00 a.m.
CA IT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microlink Solutions Berhad ("MSB"). MSB was a major subsidiary of the Company until June 2022.
2. Circumstances leading to the filing of Writ of Summons
The Plaintiff contends that it was engaged by the 1st Defendant, under a Service Contract dated 15 September 2020 to provide software implementation services for the Telekom Malaysia CBS Deployment Project, and that the 2nd Defendant, provided a corporate guarantee for the 1st Defendant's obligations up to the sum of RM7.5 million. The Plaintiff contends that it fully performed the contracted services and issued invoices in accordance with the contract, but despite receiving partial payments, a substantial outstanding sum of RM7,642,246.46 remained unpaid.
3. Financial and Operational Impact to OB
OB is sued as the corporate guarantor and as such, the claim must first be successful against CA IT as the contracting party with the Plaintiff.
Apart from any professional fees payable, any potential liability will arise only if the claim is successful.
There is no expected material operational impact to OB.
4. Steps taken/proposed to be taken
OB is currently seeking legal advice on this matter and will in any case, oppose the suit/claim against OB as the 2nd Defendant.
Further announcements will be made as and when there are material developments on the above matter.
This announcement is dated 9 September 2026.
