2. PROPOSED SHARE SPLIT

2.1 Details of the Proposed Share Split

The Proposed Share Split entails the subdivision of every one (1) PMBT Share held by the
shareholders of PMBT at 5.00 p.m. on an entitlement date to be determined and announced by
the Board at a later date, into two (2) Subdivided Shares.

Based on PMBT’s current issued share capital of RM46,941,000* comprising 80,000,000 PMBT
Shares (including 2,520,200 treasury shares), the resultant issued share capital of PMBT upon
completion of the Proposed Share Split will be RM46,941,000* comprising 160,000,000
Subdivided Shares (including 5,040,000 treasury shares assuming that none of the treasury
shares are sold or cancelled).

Note:-
* With the Act coming into effect on 31 January 2017, the share capital amount includes the sum
of RM6,941,000 standing in the share premium account.

For illustrative purposes, based on the closing market price of PMBT Shares as at the LPD, the
market price of PMBT Shares after the Proposed Share Split shall theoretically be adjusted as
follows:-

Assumed Market Price Total


Number of per Share Value
Shares held (RM) (RM)
As at the LPD 100 4.10 410
After the Proposed Share Split 200 2.05 410

Accordingly, the Proposed Share Split is not expected to have any impact on the total value of
Shares held by the shareholders of the Company.

2.2 Ranking of the Subdivided Shares

The Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other after the subdivision.

2
2
2.3 Listing of the Subdivided Shares

The approval from Bursa Securities for the listing of and quotation for the Subdivided Shares
on the Main Market of Bursa Securities was obtained vide its letter dated 26 March 2018.

No suspension will be imposed on the trading of the PMBT Shares on Bursa Securities for the
purpose of implementing the Proposed Share Split as the Proposed Share Split is prescribed
as a specified subdivision pursuant to Paragraph 13.04(3) of the Listing Requirements.

The Subdivided Shares shall be listed and quoted on the Main Market of Bursa Securities on
the next market day following the entitlement date for the Proposed Share Split.

3. PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE OF ICULS WITH WARRANTS

3.1 Details of the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants

The Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants will be implemented after the completion
of the Proposed Share Split.

PMBT proposes to undertake the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants to raise the
Intended Gross Proceeds before full exercise of the Warrants. The Proposed Rights Issue of
ICULS with Warrants entails the issuance by the Company of up to 160,000,000 ICULS
together with up to 80,000,000 Warrants to the Entitled Shareholders. The number of ICULS,
entitlement basis for the ICULS and the issue price of the ICULS have not been fixed at this
juncture to provide flexibility to the Board in respect of the pricing of the ICULS and determining
the number of ICULS to be issued.

The number of Warrants to be issued, the entitlement basis and the exercise price for the
Warrants have not been fixed at this juncture and will only be determined and announced by
the Board at a later date after taking into consideration the entitlement basis for the ICULS. The
Warrants will be issued at no cost to the Entitled Shareholders and/or their renouncee(s) who
subscribe for the ICULS.

Notwithstanding the above, the Intended Gross Proceeds have been determined upfront to
provide an indication to the shareholders of PMBT with respect to the estimated capital outlay
required to fully subscribe for their respective entitlements under the Proposed Rights Issue of
ICULS with Warrants. The estimated capital outlay required from an Entitled Shareholder
(assuming none of the 2,520,200 treasury shares are sold prior to the Entitlement Date) can be
calculated as follows:

: Number of Subdivided Shares held (1) RM200


Estimated capital outlay X
154,959,600 Subdivided Shares (2) million

Notes:-
(1) Computed by multiplying the current number of PMBT Shares held by a shareholder of PMBT
by two (2) as the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants will be implemented after the
completion of the Proposed Share Split.
(2) Represents the enlarged number of Subdivided Shares (assuming none of the 2,520,200
treasury shares are sold prior to the Entitlement Date).

For illustrative purposes only, based on the manner of computation set out above, the estimated
capital outlay required from a shareholder holding 100 PMBT Shares as at the LPD who wishes
to fully subscribe for his entitlement is approximately RM258.13.

3.2 Illustrative Issue Price and Conversion Price of the ICULS, Basis of Entitlements and
Exercise Price of the Warrants

For illustrative purposes only, based on the five (5)-day VWAMP of PMBT Shares up to and
including the LPD of RM4.21, the illustrative issue price, nominal value and conversion price of
the ICULS is assumed to be fixed at RM1.77 each, and the illustrative entitlement basis of the
Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants is assumed to be three (3) ICULS for every four
(4) Subdivided Shares held after the completion of the Proposed Share Split, and one (1)
Warrant for every three (3) ICULS subscribed, raising illustrative gross proceeds of up to
RM212,400,000 (assuming all the treasury shares are sold before the Entitlement Date).

The illustrative issue price, nominal value and conversion price of the ICULS of RM1.77
represents a discount of approximately 9.69% to the TEAP of the Subdivided Shares of RM1.96
based on the five (5)-day VWAMP up to the LPD of RM4.21.

The illustrative exercise price of the Warrants is assumed to be RM1.96, intended to be


equivalent to the TEAP of RM1.96.

For illustrative purposes, based on the abovementioned parameters, the total number of ICULS
and Warrants to be issued, and total funds raised from the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS
with Warrants (before the exercise of Warrants) are set out below:-

The final issue price, nominal value and conversion price of the ICULS, entitlement basis of the
ICULS and Warrants, and the exercise price of the Warrants will be determined and announced
by the Board after the receipt of all relevant approvals for the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS
with Warrants.

3.3 Form of Issuance of ICULS and Warrants

The ICULS will be issued in registered form and constituted by a Trust Deed to be executed
between the Company and the appointed Trustee. The Warrants will be immediately
detachable from the ICULS upon issuance and will be traded separately. The Warrants will be
issued in registered form and constituted by a Deed Poll. No physical ICULS certificate or
Warrant certificate shall be issued to Entitled Shareholders and/or their renouncee(s) under the
Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants. Instead, the ICULS and Warrants will be
credited directly as prescribed securities into the Entitled Shareholders’ and/or their
renouncee(s)’ respective securities accounts.

The principal terms of the ICULS and Warrants are set out in Appendix I and Appendix II of this
Circular, respectively.

3.4 Renounceability of the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants

The Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants is renounceable in full or in part. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Warrants shall only be issued to the Entitled Shareholders and/or their
renouncee(s) who subscribe for the ICULS pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS
with Warrants. The renunciation of the ICULS by the Entitled Shareholders will accordingly
entail the renunciation of the Warrants to be issued with the ICULS pursuant to the Proposed
Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants. If the Entitled Shareholders and/or their renouncee(s)
decide to subscribe only part of their ICULS entitlements, they shall then be entitled to the
Warrants in the proportion of their subscription of their ICULS entitlements.

Any unsubscribed ICULS together with the Warrants will be made available to other Entitled
Shareholders and/or their renouncee(s) under the excess ICULS application. Fractional
entitlements of the ICULS and the Warrants arising from the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS
with Warrants, if any, shall be dealt with in such manner as the Board shall in their absolute
discretion deem fit and expedient, and in the best interests of the Company.

3.5 Basis of Determining and Justification for the Issue Price, Nominal Value and
Conversion Price of the ICULS

The final issue price, nominal value and conversion price of the ICULS shall be determined,
fixed and announced by the Board at a later date after obtaining all relevant approvals for the
Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants. The issue price will be fixed at a price that is
deemed appropriate after taking into consideration the following:-

(i) the Intended Gross Proceeds based on the funding requirements of PMBT Group as
stated in Section 3.9 below;

(ii) the then prevailing market conditions and market price of the Subdivided Shares;

(iii) TEAP of the Subdivided Shares calculated based on five (5)-day VWAMP of
Subdivided Shares immediately preceding the Price-Fixing Date; and

(iv) the discount of the conversion price of not more than 10% to the TEAP of the
Subdivided Shares immediately preceding the Price-Fixing Date

The conversion price of the ICULS shall be equivalent to the issue price and the nominal value
of the ICULS. On this basis, every one (1) ICULS shall be converted into one (1) new
Subdivided Share, unless the conversion price is adjusted pursuant to the terms set out in the
Trust Deed.

The entitlement basis for the ICULS and the corresponding number of ICULS to be issued can
only be determined in conjunction with the fixing of the issue price of the ICULS such that the
Intended Gross Proceeds will be raised. The final basis and justification for the issue price,
nominal value and conversion price of the ICULS will be announced on the Price-Fixing Date.

3.6 Basis of Determining the Exercise Price for the Warrants

The exercise price of the Warrants has not been fixed at this juncture and will only be
determined and announced by the Board at a later date after taking into consideration the then
prevailing market conditions and market price of the Subdivided Shares.

The exercise price of the Warrants is intended to be equivalent to the TEAP of the Subdivided
Shares immediately preceding the Price-Fixing Date. The final basis and justification for the
exercise price of the Warrants will be announced on the Price-Fixing Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, subscription of the ICULS with Warrants by the Entitled
Shareholders pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants will not give rise
to any mandatory take-over offer obligation immediately after the completion of the Proposed
Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants. Details on the implication of the Code and the Rules
arising from the shareholder’s undertakings are set out in Section 3.7 of this Circular.

The Undertaking Shareholders’ actual entitlements cannot be determined at this juncture as the entitlement basis will only be determined after the
receipt of all relevant approvals for the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants. Based on the Undertaking Shareholders’ shareholdings in PMBT
as at LPD as tabulated above, the Undertaking Shareholders’ total Undertakings amount up to RM212.4 million.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Entitled Shareholders and/or their renouncee(s) (excluding the Undertaking Shareholders) shall be given first priority
and shall first be allocated with the excess ICULS applied for, if any. Upon completion of the allocation of such excess ICULS to the Entitled Shareholders
and/or their renouncee(s) (excluding the Undertaking Shareholders), and if there are any remaining ICULS which are not subscribed for, the Undertaking
Shareholders shall then be allocated the remaining number of unsubscribed ICULS pursuant to their Undertakings.

The Undertakings will not give rise to any mandatory take-over offer obligation pursuant to the Rules. The Undertaking Shareholders have confirmed
that their subscriptions for ICULS and Excess ICULS pursuant to the Undertakings will not give rise to any mandatory take-over offer obligation under
the Code and the Rules immediately after the completion of the Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants.

In the event that any of the Undertaking Shareholders triggers an obligation to undertake a mandatory take-over offer under the Code and the Rules
pursuant to the Undertakings, a separate announcement will be made. The Undertaking Shareholders have each confirmed that they will at all times
observe and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Code and the Rules.

Two (2) units of submerged arc furnaces (lined with refractory materials) to be installed at the
PMB Silicon Facility and both submerged arc furnaces will have an estimated annual production
capacity of 36,000 metric tonnes of metallic silicon.

The main raw materials required for the metallic silicon production are quartz, carbonaceous
reducing agents (charcoal and/or coal and/or petroleum coke) and wood chips. These raw
materials will be consistently and properly batched and fed into the furnaces using the raw
material handling system.

Carbon electrodes will be placed as the electrical conductors in the furnaces. The high tension
electrical equipment such as transformer and switch gear will be installed to ensure consistent
power distribution and to protect certain relevant equipment so that the daily operation of the
furnaces will not be interrupted.

The fume treatment system will be placed as a filtration facility to ensure that the quality of the
fume emission produced by the production of metallic silicon is vented away for collection and
treatment to be able to meet the standard required by the Department of Environment Sarawak.

Lastly, the metallic silicon in liquid form is to be drained from the furnace via a taphole into ladles
and transfer to the product handling system for casting and packaging according to customers’
specification.

(3) The estimated expense in relation to the Proposals include professional fees and fees payable
to the relevant authorities, printing cost of circular and abridged prospectus, advertising and
miscellaneous expenses.

The actual proceeds to be raised from the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants is
dependent on the final issue price, entitlement basis and the actual number of ICULS to be
issued which will be determined, fixed and announced by the Board closer to the
implementation of the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants. Accordingly, an
announcement will be made on the actual proceed raised as well as the purpose and estimated
timeline for utilisation of the proceeds. Any variation to the amount of proceeds to be raised will
be adjusted against the amount allocated for construction of the PMB Silicon Facility.

9
9
Pending utilisation of the proceeds from the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants for
the above purposes, the proceeds will be placed in deposits with financial institutions or short-
term money market instruments. The interest derived from the deposits with financial
institutions or any gains arising from the short-term money market instruments will be used as
additional working capital of the PMBT Group.

The gross proceeds to be raised from the exercise of the Warrants are dependent on the actual
number of Warrants exercised during the tenure of the Warrants as well as the final exercise
price of the Warrants, which will be determined at a later date. The gross proceeds to be raised
from the exercise of the Warrants will be utilised as additional working capital of the PMBT
Group.

3.10 Listing of and Quotation for the ICULS, Warrants and new Subdivided Shares on the
Main Market of Bursa Securities

The approval from Bursa Securities has been obtained on 26 March 2018 for the admission of
the ICULS and Warrants, as well as for the listing of and quotation for the ICULS and Warrants
and the new Subdivided Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the conversion of ICULS
and the exercise of Warrants on the Main Market of Bursa Securities. Upon issuance, the
Warrants will be detached from the ICULS immediately and traded separately on the Main
Market of Bursa Securities.

The PMBT Group intends to continue with the Existing Business in largely the same manner. If
the Proposed Diversification is approved by the shareholders of PMBT, the PMBT Group will
in the future be principally involved in the Existing Business and the manufacturing of metallic
silicon.

As set out in Section 10.2 of this Circular, the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants
and Proposed Diversification are inter-conditional. In the event that shareholders’ approval is
not obtained for the Proposed Diversification, the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with
Warrants will be aborted and any bank borrowings have been drawdown for the construction of
PMB Silicon Facility will be repayable through internally-generated funds and/or future financing
to be obtained. Additionally, the PMBT Group will explore options to divest or reduce its interest
in the PMB Silicon Facility.

5. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSALS

5.1 Proposed Share Split

The Proposed Share Split is expected to possibly improve the liquidity of PMBT Shares on the
Main Market of Bursa Securities by increasing the number of Shares in issue.

Furthermore, the adjustment in market price of PMBT Shares pursuant to the Proposed Share
Split is expected to result in the Subdivided Shares being more affordable in order to appeal to
a wider group of public shareholders and investors.

12
12
5.2 Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants

After due consideration of the various funding options available to PMBT, the Board is of the
view that the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants is an appropriate avenue of fund
raising as it complements the external borrowings to be undertaken to finance the setting up
(construction and purchase of equipment) of the PMB Silicon Facility. In this regard, the funds
raised from the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants are intended to be used to fund
the Proposed Diversification in the manner as detailed in Section 3.9 above.

Additionally, the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants was decided by the Board after
taking into consideration the following factors:-

(i) it minimizes the immediate dilution effect on the basic EPS of the Company, which
would otherwise have an immediate upfront effect if the fund raising exercise was an
issuance of ordinary shares;

(ii) the ICULS coupon rate is fixed at 3.00% which offers certainty to the Company’s
coupon repayment commitments for the funds raised from ICULS as PMBT will not be
subjected to interest rate risk as external borrowings typically bear a variable interest
rate. Further, the ICULS coupon rate is lower than the interest rates of PMBT Group’s
current bank borrowings as well as the bank borrowings to be obtained for the part-
financing of the setting up of the PMB Silicon Facility;

(iii) the Entitled Shareholders and/or their renouncee(s) who subscribe for their
entitlements/renounced entitlements will be able to trade the ICULS and Warrants on
the Main Market of Bursa Securities, and hence may also benefit from any upside from
potential capital appreciation of the ICULS and Warrants; and

(iv) the free Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with
Warrants will provide the shareholders of PMBT with an incentive to subscribe for the
ICULS. The Warrants will allow the Entitled Shareholders to increase their equity
participation in the Company at a predetermined price over the tenure of the Warrants.
In addition, the Company would also be able to raise further proceeds as and when
any of the Warrants are exercised.

5.3 Proposed Diversification

The Proposed Diversification is in line with the Board’s objective to improve the revenue and
earnings of the PMBT Group and enhance shareholders’ value after taking into consideration
the prospects and outlook of the metallic silicon industry as set out in Section 6.3 of this Circular.
The Board is of the opinion that the diversification into manufacturing of metallic silicon will
further complement the Group’s Existing Business.

PMBT’s shareholders’ approval will be sought for the Proposed Diversification at the
forthcoming EGM, pursuant to Paragraph 10.13 of the Listing Requirements as the Board
anticipates that, barring unforeseen circumstances, the metallic silicon manufacturing business
activity may contribute to at least 25% of the net profits and/or NA of PMBT Group in the future.

6. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND FUTURE PROSPECTS

6.1 Overview and Outlook of the Malaysian Economy

On the supply side, most economic sectors recorded a moderate expansion, except for the
agriculture sector, while growth in the mining sector declined. The services sector registered
slightly lower growth in the fourth quarter. This mainly reflected lower growth in the wholesale
and retail trade sub-sector, in tandem with the moderation in private consumption. However,
growth in the finance and insurance sub-sector improved, supported by lower insurance claims
and sustained banking activity. Growth in the information and communication sub-sector
continued to be underpinned by high demand for data communication and computer services.
Growth in the manufacturing sector eased during the quarter, reflecting a broad-based
moderation in both export- and domestic-oriented industries. Production in the export-oriented
industries including Electric and Electronic (“E&E”) and petroleum refinery activity continued to
expand, albeit at a more moderate pace. Lower growth in the domestic oriented industries was
due mainly to a slower production of transport equipment and food-related products, as well as
construction-related materials.

The current account surplus widened slightly to RM12.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017 (3Q
2017: RM12.5 billion), accounting for 3.7% of Gross National Income (“GNI”) (3Q 2017: 3.7%
of GNI). This was due to a larger goods surplus and lower deficit in the secondary income
account which offset the higher deficits in the services and primary income accounts. For the
full year, the current account surplus widened to RM40.3 billion or 3.1% of GNI (2016: 2.4% of
GNI), the highest since 2015. Reflecting the sustained strong export performance during the
quarter, the goods surplus increased to RM34.1 billion (3Q 2017: RM31.7 billion). The services
account, however, registered a larger deficit of RM6.9 billion (3Q 2017: -RM4.9 billion). This
was attributable mainly to the lower surplus in the travel account (RM7.9 billion; 3Q 2017:
RM9.2 billion) as travel receipts declined due to lower tourist per capita expenditure.

The construction services deficit was also higher (RM4.3 billion; 3Q 2017: RM3.3 billion), driven
by higher construction services imports mainly in projects related to the oil & gas, utilities and
transportation sectors. The higher deficit in the primary income account (RM9.5 billion; 3Q
2017: RM8.6 billion) was largely attributable to higher profits accrued to foreign investors in
Malaysia, particularly in the mining and wholesale & retail trade services sub-sectors. This was
partially offset by higher profits earned by Malaysian firms investing abroad, particularly in the
real estate services sub-sector. The secondary income account registered a sizeable, albeit
smaller deficit of RM4.8 billion (3Q 2017: RM5.7 billion). Outward remittances amounted to
RM8.6 billion (3Q 2017: RM9.5 billion) driven by foreign worker remittances while inward
remittances were sustained at RM3.8 billion (3Q 2017: RM3.8 billion).

Malaysia registered a strong growth of 5.9% in 2017 (2016: 4.2%). For 2018, growth is expected
to remain favourable with domestic demand continuing to be the key driver of growth. The
positive growth momentum will continue to benefit from spillovers from better global growth on
to domestic economic activity. The Department of Statistics Malaysia’s composite leading index
has shown a sustained increase in recent periods. The MIER Business Conditions Index also
points towards sustained expansion of the economy. Overall, the assessment is for growth to
remain strong in 2018.

On the supply side, the manufacturing and services sectors are expected to benefit from
continued growth across both export- and domestic-oriented sub-sectors. The agriculture
sector’s growth will be driven by further improvements in crude palm oil yields and the maturing
of oil palm trees. Growth in the mining sector is projected to be supported by higher output from
new oil and gas facilities. In the construction sector, growth will be mainly supported by new
and existing civil engineering projects.

6.2 Overview and Outlook of the Manufacturing Industry

The Malaysian economy expanded strongly by 5.9% during the fourth quarter of 2017 (Q4
2016: 4.5%). Growth was supported by domestic demand, particularly private sector spending.
On the supply side, all sectors registered a positive growth except mining and quarrying. For
the year, the economy grew 5.9% (2016: 4.2%), surpassing the earlier estimation of 5.2% –
5.7%.

14
14
Value-added of the manufacturing sector registered a growth of 5.4% (Q4 2016: 4.7%)
contributed by steady performance of both export- and domestic-oriented industries. The
growth was in accordance with higher manufacturing output which increased 5.4% (Q4 2016:
4.9%). Likewise, manufacturing sales posted double-digit growth of 10.4% to RM200.2 billion
(Q4 2016: 6.8%; RM181.3 billion) during the period. Export-oriented industries grew 5.4% (Q4
2016: 5.1%) on account of sustained demand for E&E (5.7%); chemicals and chemical products
(4.9%); and refined petroleum products (3.7%), particularly from China, Hong Kong and
Singapore. The growth of the industry was also supported by off estate processing activities
which rebounded significantly by 20.5% (Q4 2016: -7.1%), attributed to the higher manufacture
of crude palm oil.

However, the output of woods and wood products grew at a slower pace of 1.1% (Q4 2016:
5.8%) in line with the moderating logging activities. Meanwhile, domestic-oriented industries
expanded 4.6% underpinned by a rebound in transport equipment at 5.7% (Q4 2016: 4.5%; -
4%), following higher demand for parts and accessories during year-end school holidays. In
addition, growth was also backed by construction-related cluster which expanded 4.7% (Q4
2016: 3.9%). The output of nonmetallic mineral and other related products; and fabricated metal
products expanded further supported by vibrant construction activity. Meanwhile, the output of
food products and beverages continued to expand 3.1% and 5.9%, respectively (Q4 2016: 16%;
10.6%).

During the fourth quarter of 2017, total trade grew strongly by 13.3% to RM462.6 billion (Q4
2016: 4%; RM408.2 billion), in line with favourable global trade activity. Gross exports
registered a double-digit increase of 12.4% (Q4 2016: 3.1%), mainly contributed by
manufactured and mining goods. Similarly, gross imports surged 14.4% (Q4 2016: 5.1%)
supported by higher demand for capital, intermediate and consumption goods. Trade surplus
remained sizeable at RM27.7 billion (Q4 2016: RM28 billion). Receipts from manufactured
exports rose 14.2% to RM201.5 billion (Q4 2016: 3.5%; RM176.5 billion), largely led by stronger
demand for E&E, chemicals and chemical products, petroleum products and manufactures of
metal. Of significance, the continuous upturn in global electronics cycle has further boosted
E&E exports, which surged 14.7% (Q4 2016: 7.7%). Exports of semiconductors and electronics
machines apparatus were significantly higher, expanding by 24.4% and 31%, respectively. E&E
exports to major trading markets, particularly Hong Kong (44.7%), Singapore (19.9%) and
Thailand (32.2%) registered a notable increase in earnings.

The Malaysian economy is expected to sustain a steady growth momentum, ranging between
5% - 5.5% in 2018. The growth will be underpinned by strong domestic demand, particularly
private sector spending coupled with the favourable external sector. On the supply side, growth
is anticipated to be broad-based led by services and manufacturing sectors. Inflation is
expected to be manageable while the labour market to remain stable.

6.3 Outlook and Prospects of the Metallic Silicon Industry and the Proposed Diversification

The Proposed Diversification has been identified by the Board as part of its growth strategy to
enhance the Group’s future prospects and expand its revenue stream. There are various
usages for metallic silicon and it is widely used in the following areas.

(i) Aluminium-Silicon Alloys

Silicon enhances the properties of aluminium by improving its castability, hardness and
strength. Aluminium-silicon alloys provide a stronger and lighter replacement as
compared to alloy engine blocks and steel wheels for automobiles. Lighter automobiles
have better fuel efficiency which in turn reduces carbon emissions. The prospects of
aluminium-silicon alloys are positive in view of a growing trend in global demand for
lower carbon emission automobiles.

(ii) Solar Photovoltaic and Electronics Industries

Metallic silicon is widely used as the feedstock to manufacture monosilicon and


polysilicon, which are the main materials used in the manufacturing of solar cells and
semiconductor devices.

15
15
There is robust global demand for metallic silicon within the solar power industry as
solar power is in the midst of boom because of sharp drops in costs and efficiency
improvements, pushing global capacity from virtually zero at the start of the century to
300 gigawatt by the end of 2016, a figure expected to rise again by 2020. The
International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) expects 80 to 90 gigawatt of new
solar capacity to be added globally each year over the next five (5) to six (6) years.
(Source: Solar costs to fall further, powering global demand – Irena; Reuters, 23
October 2017)

The total revenue of the global semiconductor industry reached USD338.9 billion last
year, with China accounting for USD150.0 billion, according to trade group the
Semiconductor Industry Association. Technology research firm Gartner has forecast
worldwide semiconductor revenue this year to total USD364.1 billion, up 7% over last
year. (Source: Bullish on chips: Everbright’s fund earmarks USD500 million to invest in
semiconductors; South China Morning Post, 27 October 2017)

Premised on the above, the Group has drawn up marketing plans to penetrate the solar
power industry such as participation in international conferences to market metallic
silicon products to international traders in the near future. In addition, the Group is
currently engaging its existing customers to gauge their interest in purchasing metallic
silicon from the Group.

(iii) Chemical Industry

Metallic silicon is the base material for making silicone, which is a substitute for many
applications for petroleum-based compounds. Metallic silicon can serve as a raw
material for various growing number of industries and especially products such as
silicone rubber parts, sealants, adhesives, lubricants, food additives, coatings, polishes
and cosmetics.

Based on the various uses of metallic silicon as elaborated above, the Proposed Diversification
is expected to contribute positively to the future profits of the PMBT Group. The Group is also
positioned to take advantage of the PMB Silicon Facility’s geographic location at Samalaju
Industrial Park, Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia as there are industries located there which require
metallic silicon in their production line. The Samalaju port, which is less than 10 kilometers from
the PMB Silicon Facility, provides advantage on logistic costs for transporting both raw
materials and finished goods.

7. RISK FACTORS

Pursuant to the Proposed Diversification, the Group will be exposed to the risks inherent to the
metallic silicon industry which include, but are not limited to, the following:-

7.1 Business Risk

Pursuant to the Proposed Diversification, the Group will be subject to risks inherent to the
manufacturing of metallic silicon business. These may include, amongst others, general
economic downturn in the global and regional economy, entry of new players, socio-political
instability, changes in demand and supply of metallic silicon, increases in the costs of labour
and raw materials, labour and raw materials disruptions/shortages, changes in credit conditions
and changes in the legal and environment framework within which the industry operates.

The Group will adopt prudent management and efficient operating procedures to adapt to any
negative changes in the metallic silicon industry. However, no assurance can be given that any
changes in these factors will not have any material adverse effect on the Group. The Group
has a few key management personnel, Mr. Seo Gonwoo, Mr. Lew Cheh Nam and Ms. Lim Hui
Kien who have industry experience and will be managing the manufacturing of metallic silicon
business.

16
16
7.2 Business Diversification

The Group is predominantly engaged in the aluminium and the construction industry. With the
implementation of the diversification of the Group’s business to include manufacturing of
metallic silicon business, the Group will be subject to new challenges and risks arising from the
metallic silicon business. PMBT Group seeks to mitigate these risks by leveraging on the
extensive working experience of Mr. Koon Poh Ming, Mr. Seo Gonwoo, Mr. Lew Cheh Nam,
Ms Lim Hui Kien and other key management personnel of the Group, engage the services of
professionals and contractors with proven track records and relevant experiences as well as
careful planning and allocation of resources. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that any
changes to these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business and
future earnings.

7.3 Risk of Electric Shortages

There have been reports of power outage of electricity in Sarawak in the recent years which
resulted in businesses experiencing potential heavy losses. The power outage may have a
material adverse effect on the Group as any prolonged interruption to the manufacturing
facilities due to the shutdowns may affect the financial performance of the Group.

There can be no assurance that the Group will not suffer any power outage in the future or that
its business operations, financial results or financial conditions will not be materially adversely
affected as a result. However, the risk of power outage can be minimised by insurance
coverage. The power purchase agreement is valid for a period of 25 years thus assuring the
continuous supply of power on a long-term basis.

Short term power outage up to 24 hours will not significantly impact the operations of the PMB
Silicon Facility.

7.4 Competition Risk

The Group faces competition from both new and existing metallic silicon manufacturers in Asia,
in particularly manufacturers in China, being the world’s largest metallic silicon exporter. Some
of the manufacturers in China are equipped with higher production capacity to achieve
economies of scale and hence have advantage in term of pricing.

Nevertheless, the Board believes that with a long-term and constant power supply secured by
the Group at a competitive rate and strategic location of the PMB Silicon Facility that reduces
logistics cost, the Group would be able to compete in the metallic silicon industry. The Group
will also continuously monitor and adjust the Group’s metallic silicon operations and marketing
strategies that is best suited for the Group.

7.5 Commodity Risk

Like other commodities, the prices of metallic silicon are determined by global market demand
and supply. Any significant and sudden decrease in such prices may adversely affect the
Group’s selling price and profit margin. There is no assurance that any adverse changes in
such prices will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial performance.

Nonetheless, the Group seeks to limit such risks by entering into long-term sales contracts with
its customers while improving its productivity.

17
17
7.6 Foreign Exchange Risk

Both export sales and import of raw materials for PMB Silicon Facility will expose the Group to
the risk of fluctuation of foreign currency rates.

There can be no assurance that any significant changes in exchange rate fluctuation and
foreign exchange control regulations will not have an adverse impact on the Group’s profitability
and financial position. Any weakening of Ringgit Malaysia may affect the profit margins of PMBT
Group. The Group intends to mitigate this risk through careful monitoring and planning of its
purchases, and may also explore hedging tools to minimise the impact of significant movements
in foreign currency rates. Further, it is noted that the Group’s Existing Business is already
exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

7.7 Political, Economic and Regulatory Consideration

The financial and business prospects of the Proposed Diversification may depend to some
degree on political, economic and regulatory factors. Any adverse developments of such factors
may materially and adversely affect the prospects of the PMB Silicon Facility. These include
but not limited to the risk of war, terrorist attacks, riots, changes in political leadership, global
economic downturn and unfavourable changes in the governmental policies such as changes
in methods of taxation, interest rate, licensing or introduction of new regulations.

The Group will continue to monitor the political, economic and regulatory conditions, abiding
with all the relevant regulatory conduct and procedures as well as adopting effective measures
such as prudent management and efficient operating procedures to mitigate these factors
where required. However, there is no assurance the measures taken to mitigate the risk would
be sufficient and that any changes to the political and/or economic environment would not have
any material adverse impact to the operation and performance of the PMB Silicon Facility.

7.8 Dependency on Key Personnel

The Proposed Diversification’s success in the metallic silicon industry is largely dependent on
the abilities, skills, experience, competency and continued efforts of current key personnel and
the future key personnel to be recruited by the Group for the Proposed Diversification. The loss
of any key personnel without timely replacement or the inability of the Group to attract and
retain other qualified personnel, could adversely affect the new business operations and hence,
its revenue and profitability.

The Group will continuously adopt appropriate measures to attract and retain key personnel by
offering, amongst others, competitive remuneration packages and on-going training and
development programmes. PMBT will strive to retain qualified experienced personnel who are
essential to the Group’s succession plan to ensure continuity and competency in our
management team. However, no assurance can be given that the above measures are
sufficient in mitigating this risk.

8. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSALS

The Proposed Diversification will have no effect on the issued share capital, pro forma NA and
gearing, and substantial shareholders’ shareholdings of the Group. The effects of the Proposed
Diversification on the earnings and EPS of the PMBT Group is stated in Section 8.4 below.

Where applicable, the pro forma effects of the Proposed Share Split and Proposed Rights Issue
of ICULS with Warrants in this section are illustrated based on the following assumptions.

The illustrative issue price, nominal value and conversion price of the ICULS is assumed to be
fixed at RM1.77 each, and the illustrative entitlement basis of the Proposed Rights Issue of
ICULS with Warrants is assumed to be three (3) ICULS for every four (4) Subdivided Shares
held after the Proposed Share Split, and one (1) Warrant for every three (3) ICULS subscribed,
raising illustrative gross proceeds of up to RM212,400,000 (assuming all the treasury shares
are sold before the Entitlement Date).

The illustrative issue price, nominal value and conversion price of the ICULS of RM1.77
represents a discount of approximately 9.69% to the TEAP of Subdivided Shares of RM1.96
based on the five (5)-day VWAMP up to the LPD of RM4.21. The illustrative exercise price of
the Warrants is assumed to be RM1.96 which is intended to be equivalent to the TEAP of
RM1.96.

8.4 Earnings and EPS

The Proposed Share Split is not expected to have any effect on the earnings of PMBT Group.
However, there will be a corresponding dilution in PMBT’s consolidated EPS as a result of the
enlarged total number of issued shares of PMBT arising from the issuance of new Subdivided
Shares pursuant to the Proposed Share Split.

The earnings and EPS of the Group will be reduced by the ICULS semi-annually coupon
payment of approximately RM6.17 million per annum and approximately RM6.37 million per
annum based on the Minimum Scenario and Maximum Scenario, respectively, during the
tenure of the ICULS.

However barring unforeseen circumstances, the Proposed Rights Issue of ICULS with Warrants
is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of the PMBT Group when the benefits
of utilisation of proceeds are realised. There will be a corresponding dilution in PMBT’s
consolidated EPS as and when new Subdivided Shares are issued pursuant to the conversion
of ICULS and the exercise of Warrants.

The Proposed Diversification is expected to contribute positively to the earnings of the Group
for the financial year ending 31 December 2019 after the commencement of operations of the
PMB Silicon Facility.

8.5 Convertible Securities

PMBT does not have any convertible securities as at the LPD.
