The Order shall be binding on RHB Capital, and the Board of Directors ("Board") and the Company Secretary of RHB Capital are required to take the necessary actions to give effect to such Order. With this Order, Aabar's entitlement to the Rights Issue shall be limited to not more than 15% of the Rights Issue.

In view of the above, the Entitlement Date for the Rights Issue has now been extended from 1 October 2015 to 23 November 2015 to allow time for the Board to engage with the relevant regulators and to deliberate and implement the Rights Issue in the most efficient manner, after considering the Order.
