In accordance with the Listing Requirements, the aforesaid mandate is subject to annual renewal and
will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming Twenty-Eighth (“28th”) AGM, unless authority for its

2. PROPOSED SHAREHOLDERS’ MANDATE

2.1 Details of the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate

Pursuant to Paragraph 10.09(2), Part E of Chapter 10 of the Listing Requirements, a listed issuer may
seek a mandate from its shareholders for RRPT(s), which are necessary for its day-to-day operations,
subject to, inter alia, the following:-

(i) the transactions are in the ordinary course of business and are on terms not more favourable to
the related party than those generally available to the public;

(ii) the shareholders’ mandate is subject to annual renewal and disclosure is made in the annual
report of the aggregate value of transactions conducted pursuant to the shareholders’ mandate
during the financial year where the aggregate value is equal to or more than the threshold
prescribed under Paragraph 10.09(1)(a) of the Listing Requirements;

(iii) the listed issuer’s circular to shareholders for the shareholders’ mandate includes the
information as may be prescribed by Bursa Securities. The draft circular must be submitted to
Bursa Securities together with a checklist showing compliance with such information;

(iv) in a meeting to obtain the shareholders’ mandate, the interested director, major shareholder or
person connected with a director of major shareholder and where it involves the interest of the
person connected with a director or major shareholder, such director or major shareholder must
not vote on the resolution to approve the transactions. An interested director or major
shareholder must ensure that person connected with him abstain from voting on the resolution
approving the transactions; and

(v) the listed issuer immediately announces to Bursa Securities when the actual value of a RRPT
entered into by the listed issuer, exceeds the estimated value of the RRPT(s) disclosed in the
circular by 10% or more and must include the information as may be prescribed by Bursa
Securities in its announcement.

Where a listed issuer has procured a shareholders’ mandate in respect of RRPT(s) pursuant to
Paragraph 10.09(2) of the Listing Requirements, the provisions under Paragraph 10.08 of the Listing
Requirements shall not apply to the RRPT(s) which are comprised in the said mandate during the

(c) the transactions are conducted on arm’s length basis; an

(d) details of the transactions containing the information as set out in Annexure PN12-A of the

2
It is anticipated that KPJ Group would, in the ordinary course of its business, enter into the RRPT(s)
which are necessary for its day-to-day operations with the classes of Related Parties which are
disclosed in Section 2.3 of this Circular. It is likely that such transactions will occur with some degree
of frequency and could arise at any time.

The Board is seeking the shareholders’ mandate which would allow the Group to enter into RRPT(s)
with the Related Parties as specified in Section 2.4 of this Circular provided that such transactions are
necessary for the day-to-day operations of the Group, in the ordinary course of its business carried out
based on normal commercial terms that are not more favourable to the Related Parties than those
generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of its minority shareholders.

The Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate, if approved by the shareholders at the forthcoming 28th AGM,
will be subject to annual review and shall continue to be in force until:-

(i) the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company following the forthcoming AGM, at which the
Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate is passed, at which time it will lapse, unless by a resolution
passed at the AGM, the authority is renewed;

(ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM after the date is required to be held
pursuant to Section 340(2) of the Act (but shall not extend to such extensions as may be allowed
pursuant to Section 340(4) of the Act); or

(iii) revoked or varied by resolution passed by the shareholders of the Company at a general
meeting,

whichever is the earlier.

As at LPD, there is no amount due from and owing to KPJ Group by its Related Parties pursuant to
the RRPT(s) for the FYE 31 December 2020 which have exceeded the normal credit terms of the KPJ
Group.

2.6 Review Procedures for RRPT(s)

The Company has established the following internal review procedures to ensure that the RRPT(s) are
undertaken on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms consistent with the Group’s
usual business practices and policies, which are not more favourable to the Related Parties than those
generally available to third parties/public and are not to the detriment of the minority shareholders:-

(i) in determining the pricing for the RRPT(s), the Group transacts at the prevailing market
rates/prices for services or products, on the service or product providers’ usual commercial
terms, and otherwise in accordance with applicable industry norms;

(ii) at least two (2) other contemporaneous transactions with unrelated third parties for similar
products/services and/or quantities will be used as comparison, wherever possible, to determine
whether the price and terms offered to/by the related parties are fair and reasonable and
comparable to those offered to/by other unrelated third parties;

(iii) all RRPT(s) are subject to the following limit of approval:-

 value below RM1,000,000.00 must be reviewed and approved by KPJ Group Management
Committee;
 value above RM1,000,000.00 but below RM5,000,000.00 must be reviewed and approved
by the Investment Committee;
 value above RM1,000,000.00 but below RM20,000,000.00 must be reviewed and
approved by the Development and Procurement Committee; or
 value above RM20,000,000.00 must be reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company

(iv) if any Director of the KPJ Group has a direct or indirect interest in any particular transaction,
he or she will have to abstain from any deliberation and also voting in respect of the said
transaction. If a member of the Audit Committee is interested in any transactions, that member
of the Audit Committee shall abstain from voting in any matter relating to any decision to be
taken by the Audit Committee with respect to such transactions;

(v) proper records shall be maintained to capture all RRPT(s) of a revenue or trading nature
entered into pursuant to the shareholders’ mandate to ensure accurate disclosure thereof.
Disclosure shall be made in the Annual Report of the Company of the aggregate value of
transactions conducted in accordance with the given mandate;

(vi) the Audit Committee shall have overall responsibility for the determination of the review
procedures;

(vii) the Audit Committee shall review the relevant RRPT(s) of a revenue or trading nature and the
existing procedures to ascertain that they have been complied with; and

(viii) if during the review, the Audit Committee is of the view that the abovementioned procedures
are no longer sufficient to ensure that the RRPT(s) undertaken on an arm’s length basis and on
normal commercial terms that are not more favourable to the Related Party than those normally
available to the public, the Audit Committee shall have the discretion to request for additional
procedures to be imposed on all the RRPT(s).

2.7 Statement by the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Company has seen and reviewed the procedures established in Section
2.6 above in treatment of RRPT(s) and is of the view that:-
11
11
(i) the said procedures for the RRPT(s) as well as the periodic review to be made by the Audit
Committee in relation thereto are sufficient to ensure that the RRPT(s) will be made at arm’s
length and in accordance with the Company’s normal commercial terms and are not more
favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public and are not to the
detriment of the minority shareholders;

(ii) the Group has in place adequate procedures and processes to monitor, track and identify
RRPT(s) in a timely and orderly manner; and

(iii) the Audit Committee will review these procedures and processes on an annual basis.

2.8 Disclosure in Annual Report

A disclosure will be made in accordance with Section 3.1.5 of Practice Note 12 of the Listing
Requirements, which requires a breakdown of the aggregate value of the RRPT(s) entered into during
the financial year, amongst others, based on the following information:-

(i) the type of the RRPT(s) made; and

(ii) the names of the Related Parties involved in each type of RRPT(s) made and their relationships
with the Company.

The above disclosure will be made in the Company’s Annual Report for each subsequent financial
year after the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate has been approved and renewed.

In addition, if the actual value of the RRPT(s) entered into by the Group exceeds the estimated value
of the RRPT(s) disclosed in the circular to the shareholders on the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate
by 10% or more, the Company will make an immediate announcement to Bursa Securities.

3. RATIONALE AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED SHAREHOLDERS’ MANDATE

The RRPT(s) to be entered into by the Group with the Related Parties are intended to meet business
needs at the best possible terms. The Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate also enhances the ability of the
Group to explore beneficial business opportunities and promote cross-selling between the Group and
the JCorp Group.

The Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate, if approved by the shareholders, will eliminate the need to
make regular announcements to Bursa Securities or to issue separate circulars to shareholders and to
convene separate general meetings on each occasion to seek shareholders’ prior approval for the entry
by the Group into such transactions. This will substantially reduce administrative time, inconvenience
and expenses associated with the making of such announcements and the convening of such general
meetings, without compromising the corporate objectives and adversely affecting the business
opportunities available to the Group.

Hence, the Directors are seeking approval from the shareholders on the RRPT(s) as described under
Section 2.4 of this Circular.

4. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED SHAREHOLDERS’ MANDATE

The Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate is not expected to have any material effect on the issued share
capital of the Company, substantial shareholders’ shareholdings in the Company, NA per share,
gearing, EPS as well as the dividend of the Group.

Nevertheless, the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate is in relation to transactions which relate to the
KPJ Group’s day-to-day operations. Hence, it will impact KPJ Group’s financial performance.

12
12
5. APPROVALS REQUIRED

The Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate is subject to and conditional upon approval being obtained from
the shareholders of the Company at the forthcoming 28th AGM.

(ii) Agenda 7 – Proposed Renewal of Existing Shareholders’ Mandate for Recurrent Related Party Transactions of a
Revenue or Trading Nature and Proposed New Shareholders’ Mandate for Additional Recurrent Related Party
Transactions of a Revenue or Trading Nature (“Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate”)

The proposed Ordinary Resolution 10 if passed, is primarily to authorise the Company and its subsidiaries (“Group”) to enter
into arrangements or transactions with Related Parties, particulars of which are set out in the Circular to Shareholders dated
21 May 2021 (“Circular”) circulated together with this Annual Report, which are necessary for the day-to-day operations of
the Group and are based on normal commercial terms that are not more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally
made to the public.

The procurement of the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate would reduce substantially administrative time, effort and expenses
associated with the convening of separate general meetings to seek shareholders’ approval as and when potential Recurrent
Related Party Transactions arise.

(iii) For the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate, please refer the details in the Circular to Shareholders dated 21 May 2021.
