In order to avoid any delay and cost involved in convening a general meeting, it is thus considered appropriate to seek shareholders' approval for the Directors to issue shares (other than bonus or rights issues) in the Company up to an aggregate amount not exceeding 10 per cent of the issued capital of the Company for the time being and also to empower the Directors to obtain approval from the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange for the listing of and quotation for the additional shares so issued. This authority unless revoked or varied at a general meeting will expire at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company. Resolution 6 - Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association are in compliance with Chapter 7 of the Revamped Listing Requirements of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange.
