The settlement of the SCR Offer Price will be effected via electronic remittance to the Entitled Shareholders’ bank accounts registered with Bursa Malaysia Depository Sdn Bhd (“Bursa Depository”) for purposes of receiving electronic cash dividend (“eDividend Accounts”) within 10 days from the date on which the office copy of the sealed order granted by High Court in Malaya dated 6 January 2025 confirming the reduction of the issued share capital of MPHB for the SCR pursuant to section 116 of the Act (“High Court Order”) is lodged with the Registrar of Companies pursuant to subsection 116(6) of the Act (“Effective Date”). 

For the Entitled Shareholders who do not maintain eDividend Accounts, the settlement of the SCR Offer Price will be effected via remittance in the form of cheques, banker’s drafts and/or cashier’s orders which will be despatched by ordinary mail to the Entitled Shareholders (or their designated agents, as they may direct) at the Entitled Shareholders’ registered addresses last maintained with Bursa Depository at their own risk within 10 days from the Effective Date. 

An office copy of the High Court Order will be lodged with the Registrar of Companies pursuant to subsection 116(6) of the Act on the Entitlement Date and consequently, the settlement of the SCR Offer Price will be effected on Tuesday, 28 January 2025.
