HLT GLOBAL BERHAD ("HLT" OR THE "COMPANY")

Temporary Stoppage of HL Rubber Industries Sdn. Bhd. ("HLRI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HLT with the manufacturing facility in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan
With guidance from the Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (“KKM”), HLRI is implementing a temporary stoppage for its manufacturing facility in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan until 8 June 2021 (“affected plant”). HLRI had discovered several positive cases of COVID-19 infection among its factory workers.

HLRI has been conducting COVID-19 screening tests for both of its local and foreign workers of its factory. The affected employees are currently receiving medical treatment at Government Healthcare Facility as per the directive from KKM and all employees in the affected plant are placed under self-quarantine. The affected plant is temporarily closed to carry out disinfection and sanitization procedures and is expected to resume operations in stages starting from 9 June 2021.

As a result of the temporary closure of the affected plant, the capacity loss is estimated to be less than 5% of the total annual output volume.

HLT Group will continue to cooperate and work closely with KKM. We will continue to adhere to the COVID-19 preventive SOPs on a stringent basis. Disinfection exercises at all our premises and workers’ accommodation will continue to be conducted regularly, with all the necessary precautionary measures strictly in place to fight against the COVID-19 Pandemic. The safety and well-being of our employees and local community are of our utmost priority towards containing the situation and the temporary closure will go a long way towards minimising the risk of further spreading of the COVID-19 virus within the community.

This announcement is dated 28 May 2021.
