The Company had on 28 April 2021 issued the notice of its Forty-Ninth Annual General Meeting (“49th AGM”) of the Company to be conducted through live streaming from the Broadcast Venue via Remote Participation and Voting Facilities at Masteel Meeting Room, Unit B-05-3A, 5th Floor, Block B (West Wing) PJ8 Office Suite, No. 23, Jalan Barat Seksyen 8, 46050 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan Malaysia on Thursday, 17 June 2021. 

On 28 May 2021, the Government of Malaysia announced the implementation of “total lockdown” from 1 June 2021 to 14 June 2021 and is now further extended to 28 June 2021 to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus in Malaysia. 

Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases especially in Klang Valley (Selangor & Wilayah Persekutuan) and the safety of our Board Members and Senior Management is of great concern, the Board of Directors would like to postpone the 49th AGM which was originally scheduled to be held on Thursday, 17 June 2021 to a later date in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. 

The decision also was made after taking into account the provision and facilitation of a better and meaningful engagement with shareholders at the 49th AGM of the Company where the Chairman and the Principal Board Members can be present at the Broadcast Venue to ensure seamless experience for shareholders.

The Company will submit an application to the Companies Commission of Malaysia for an extension of time to hold its 49th AGM pursuant to Section 340(4) of the Companies Act 2016.

Meanwhile, the Company will closely monitor the development of COVID-19 and announce the date of convening the 49th AGM in due course.

This announcement is dated 15 June 2021.
