Agenda 1 is meant for discussion only as the provision of Sections 248(2) and 340(1) of the Companies Act, 2016
does not require a formal approval of the members and hence, is not put forward for voting.
Pursuant to Section 230(1) of the Companies Act 2016, fees and benefits payable to the Directors of the Company
shall be approved at a general meeting. The proposed Resolution 1 is to seek members’ approval for the payment
of Directors’ fees and benefits for the period from the conclusion of the 25th AGM to the next Annual General
Meeting of the Company (“Period”) up to an aggregate amount of RM1,500,000.
In determining the estimated total Directors’ benefits for the Period, the size of the Board/Board Committees
and the number of meetings estimated to be held during the Period were taken into consideration. The payment
of Directors’ fees will be made on a monthly basis or as and when incurred, after the Directors have discharged
their responsibilities and rendered their services to the Company.
At the last Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) held on 15 December 2021, the members had approved the payment
of fees and benefits payable to the Non-Executive Directors (“NEDs”) up to an amount of RM1.5 million (“Approved
Amount”) from 16 December 2021 until the conclusion of the next AGM. The total payment of remuneration to the
NEDs for the said period did not exceed the Approved Amount. The details of the remuneration of Directors for
financial year ended 30 June 2022 are disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report.
5. Resolution 6 – Authority to Allot and Issue Shares pursuant to Sections 75 And 76 of the Companies Act, 2016
The proposed resolution is to seek a renewal of general mandate for authority to issue shares pursuant to Sections
75 and 76 of the Companies Act, 2016. If the resolution is passed, it will empower the Directors of the Company
to issue and allot shares up to an amount not exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company,
for such purposes as the Directors would consider in the best interest of the Company. The approval is sought to
avoid any delay and cost involved in convening a general meeting for such issuance of shares. This authority will,
unless revoked or varied by the Company in a general meeting, expire at the next AGM of the Company.
No shares have been issued and allotted by the Company since obtaining the said authority from its members at
the last AGM held on 15 December 2021 pursuant to this authority.
The general mandate for issue of shares will provide flexibility to the Company for any possible fund raising
activities, including but not limited to further placement of shares for the purpose of repayment of bank
borrowings, funding future investment and working capital.
6. Resolution 7 – Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate for Recurrent Related Party Transaction of a Revenue
or Trading Nature
The proposed resolution, if passed will enable the Company and its subsidiaries to enter into recurrent related
party transactions of a revenue or trading nature pursuant to Paragraph 10.09 of the Listing Requirements of
Bursa Securities.
Members are advised to refer to the Circular to Shareholders dated 31 October 2022 for more information.

General Meeting will expire at the next AGM.
Further information on the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority is set out in the Circular to
Shareholders dated on 31 October 2022 of the Company which can be downloaded from our website.
The Nomination Committee has assessed the independence of Raja Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Aman bin Raja Haji Ahmad
and Tan Sri Dato’ Lau Yin Pin @ Lau Yen Beng who have served as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the
Company for a cumulative term of more than nine (9) years and the Board has recommended them to continue to
act as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company based on the following justifications:
(i) They had fulfilled the criteria under the definition of Independent Directors as stated in the Main Market
Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities, and hence, they would be able to provide an element of objectivity,
independent judgement and balance to the Board;
(ii) Their length of services on the Board of more than nine (9) years does not in any way interfere with their
exercise of objective judgement or their ability to act in the best interests of the Company and Group. In
fact, all of them, having been with the Company for more than nine (9) years, are familiar with the Group’s
business operations and have devoted sufficient time and commitment to their role and responsibilities as
Independent Directors for informed and balance decision making; and
(iii) They have exercised due care during their tenures as Independent Directors of the Company and have
discharged their duties with reasonable skill and competence, bringing independent judgement and depth
into the Board’s decision making in the interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Pursuant to paragraph 8.27(2) of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities, the Notice convening an AGM is to
be accompanied by a statement furnishing details of individuals who are standing for election as directors. This
