Vortex has full discretion over the declaration of dividends, if any. Dividends declared and payable annually in arrears are non-cumulative and shall be in priority over the Vortex Shares.
The ICPS may be converted into new Vortex Shares at the conversion price of RM0.15 ("Conversion Price") in the following manner: (i) by surrendering for cancellation the ICPS with an aggregate issue price of the ICPS equivalent to the Conversion Price, subject to the conversion ratio of the ICPS at a minimum of 1 ICPS and up to a maximum of 3 ICPS ("Conversion Ratio"); and (ii) by paying the difference between the aggregate issue price of ICPS surrendered and the Conversion Price, if any, in cash, for every 1 new Vortex Share. Premised on the terms of the ICPS, the ICPS can be converted into new Vortex Shares at any time within 5 years commencing on and including the date of issue of the ICPS up to and including the maturity date (as indicated above), as determined by the Conversion Ratio and Conversion Price. Any remaining ICPS that are not converted by the maturity date shall be automatically converted into new Vortex Shares at the conversion ratio of 3 ICPS for 1 new Vortex Share. If the conversion results in a fractional entitlement to Vortex Shares, such fractional entitlement shall be disregarded and no refund or credit, whether in the form of the ICPS, cash or otherwise, shall be given in respect of the disregarded fractional entitlement.
