On behalf of the Board of Directors of EFB, we wish to announce that a fire incident has occurred at Evergreen Fibreboard (JB) Sdn. Bhd. ("EJB")'s wood fibre storage bin on 11 December 2021, at approximately 7.00 a.m. The cause of the fire is still being investigated by the fire brigade's forensic department. Based on the Management's initial assessment, the damages are not material as the fire only affected a section of EJB's wood pellet production line.

Tragically, during the fire-fighting process, there were injuries which ultimately led to two casualties.

This announcement is dated 13 December 2021.
