Where a member appoints two (2) proxies, the appointment shall be invalid unless he specifies the proportion of his holdings to be represented by each proxy.
  • The right of Foreign Depositors to vote in respect of their deposited securities with Bursa Malaysia Depository Sdn. Bhd. is subject to Section 41(1)(e) and Section 41(2) of the Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act. 1991 and Securities Industry (Central Depositories) (Foreign Ownership) Regulations, 1996. The position of Depositors in this regard will be determined based on The General Meeting Record of Depositors. Depositors whose shares exceed the prescribed limit as at the date of The General Meeting Record of Depositors may attend the above Meeting but are not entitled to vote. Consequently, a proxy appointed by a Depositor who is not entitled to vote will also not be entitled to vote at the above meeting.

  • Agenda 1
    The Audited Financial Statements for the financial year ended 30 April 2018 will be laid at the Company’s Annual General Meeting in accordance with Section 340(1)(a) of the Companies Act 2016. Therefore, Agenda 1 is for presentation of the said Financial Statements and the accompanying Reports together with the accompanying Reports to shareholders for discussion only. Hence, no voting is required.
  • Agenda 2
    Section 230(1) of the Companies Act 2016 provides amongst others, that the fees of the Directors and any benefits payable to the Directors of a listed company and its subsidiaries shall be approved at a general meeting.

    In view of the increased Directors’ responsibilities and the level of Directors’ involvement following the Company’s expansion to Indonesia and having considered the quantum of Directors’ fees over the past 7 years from 2011 to 2017, the Board at its meeting held in July 2017 approved the Nomination and Remuneration Committee’s recommendation for the revision of the quantum of Directors’ fees as set out in the far right column of the table below:-

  • Directors’ Fees* 2011 to 2017 2018
    Non-Executive Chairperson RM80,000 per annum RM100,000 per annum
    Non-Executive Director RM40,000 per annum RM60,000 per annum
    * in relation to United Malacca Berhad.
    Resolution 1 is to seek shareholders’ approval for the payment of Directors’ fees to the Non-Executive Chairperson and Non-Executive Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of the financial year ended 30 April 2018.
  • Agenda 3
    At the last 103rd Annual General Meeting, the Company sought shareholders’ approval to pay the Directors’ remuneration (excluding Directors’ fees) to the Non-Executive Directors up to an aggregate amount of RM420,000 from 1 May 2017 until the next Annual General Meeting. For the period from 1 May 2017 to 30 April 2018, the Company paid Directors their remuneration (excluding Directors’ fees) totalling RM396,973. Directors’ remuneration for the period from 1 May 2018 to 24 August 2018 will be RM113,500. The approved aggregate sum of RM420,000 will be insufficient to pay the said sum of RM113,500. The insufficient sum was due to the increase in the Board Committees’ fees as well as enlarged Board size.

    Resolution 2 seeks shareholders’ approval to pay the additional Directors’ remuneration (excluding Directors’ fees) totalling RM90,473 to Non-Executive Chairperson and Non-Executive Directors for the period from 1 May 2018 to 24 August 2018.

  • Explanatory Note on Special Business
    Resolution Nos. 5 and 6
    The Board of Directors via the Nomination and Remuneration Committee had conducted an annual performance evaluation and assessment of Tan Sri Dato’ Ahmad Bin Mohd Don and Mr. Tan Jiew Hoe, who have served as Independent Non-Executive Directors for a cumulative term of more than nine (9) years. The Board is of the opinion that both Directors contributed meaningful insights and expertise during Board discussion and deliberation process and have exceptional skills that benefit the Company. Both Directors are able to bring independent and objective judgement to the Board’s deliberations and their positions in the Board have not been compromised by their familiarity and long relationship with other Board members. The Board recommends to retain Tan Sri Dato’ Ahmad Bin Mohd Don and Mr. Tan Jiew Hoe as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
