Dear Sir/Madam

THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF SHARES IN PT GUNANUSA UTAMA FABRICATORS AND PT SUPERKRANE MITRA UTAMA TBK. AS A MAJOR TRANSACTION UNDER CHAPTER 10 OF THE LISTING MANUAL

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background on the Proposed Acquisitions

On 26 June 2023, the Board announced that the Company had, on the same day, entered into a principal agreement ("Principal Agreement") for:

  1. the sale and purchase of shares in PTG ("Share Sale & Purchase") with the Vendors and PT Superkrane Mitra Utama Tbk. ("SK"), acting as the purchaser. Pursuant to the Share S&P Completion (as defined below), (i) SK had acquired 70.00% of the shares in PTG from the Vendors (including 50,586 PTG shares previously held by Azmil); and (ii) Azmil had received 213,813,499 shares in SK as consideration; and
  2. the settlement of a loan of a principal amount of S$13,021,740 (the "Loan") between Azmil (as the borrower) and the Company (as the lender), whereby following the Share S&P Completion, Azmil shall as full and final settlement of the Loan, transfer to the Company (i) the remaining 39,500 PTG shares, and (ii) certain SK shares held by him (collectively, the "Settlement Shares"). The Loan was extended to Azmil, a shareholder of PTG, with the intention of creating more opportunities for the Group and PTG to work together in relation to tenders for regional projects where PTG is an approved vendor for regional oil majors.1 At the point of disbursement of the Loan, Azmil was not a controlling shareholder of PTG and the Board had assessed that the Loan was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

1 The Group was given the opportunity to participate in PTG's projects such as Zawtika Development Project Phase 1C and 1D by providing procurement services to PTG. Both projects awarded to PTG were valued in excess of US$300 million. The procurement scope awarded to Federal was approximately S$100 million for each project and both projects turned out to be profitable for the Group.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

1.2 Information on the Share Sale & Purchase

As part of the Share Sale & Purchase, SK was willing to offer to acquire all PTG shares and to issue shares as consideration for the acquisition. Under PTG's Articles of Association, any shareholder who intends to sell his shares to a third party must first offer its shares to other existing shareholders. As such, all shareholders of PTG were given an option to participate in the Share Sale & Purchase. SK negotiated the transaction with Azmil (who was a 62.5% shareholder of PTG), Globrant (who was a 24.7% shareholder of PTG), the Company (who was a 2.6% shareholder of PTG, with Azmil's 90,000 shares pledged in favour of the Company as security for the Loan) and requested Darpin (1.0% shareholder) to secure the consent of the 21 minority shareholders (who collectively held 9.2% of the total issued shares of PTG). Darpin, on behalf of the minority shareholders, requested SK to offer minority shareholders cash consideration instead of shares due to their small shareholdings and moratorium.

The names of the minority shareholders are not included as they are not relevant for the purposes of the Proposed Acquisitions.

To the Company's knowledge, the relationship between Azmil and the various parties are as follows:

  1. Azmil and PTG - prior to the Share Sale & Purchase, Azmil was a member of the Board of Commissioners of PTG, and held 90,086 ordinary shares in PTG, representing 62.5% of the total issued shares of PTG. Azmil did not have an executive role in PTG;
  2. Azmil and the directors of PTG - no relationship;
  3. Azmil and substantial shareholders of PTG - no relationship;
  4. Azmil and SK - no relationship;
  5. Azmil and the directors of SK - no relationship;
  6. Azmil and SK's controlling shareholders - no relationship;
  7. Azmil and the Company - the Company had provided the Loan to Azmil, and Azmil had pledged 90,000 ordinary shares that he held in PTG in favour of the Company as security for the Loan;
  8. Azmil and the other Vendors (minority shareholders) - no relationship; and
  9. Azmil and Globrant - no relationship.

PTG's Articles of Association contained pre-emption rights requiring any transferor to offer their shares to existing shareholders. While the Company was not a party to the Share Sale

  • Purchase, it played a role in the Share Sale & Purchase by giving consent for Azmil to unencumber 50,500 of his 90,000 PTG shares (representing 35.1% of the total issued shares of PTG) pledged to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Loan (as described in Section 1.3) and also providing their consent to the rest of the shareholders selling shares to SK. Prior to the Share Sale & Purchase, the Group held 3,720 ordinary shares in PTG, representing 2.6% of the total issued shares of PTG, which it has held since 2008.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Please refer to Section 4.1 below for salient terms of the Share Sale & Purchase.

1.3 Information on the Loan Agreement

The Loan agreement between Azmil and the Company ("Loan Agreement") was entered into on 7 December 2016. The salient terms of the Loan Agreement include the following:

  1. interest rate of 7% per annum, which is accrued daily based on the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. Any interest accrued shall be payable immediately at the demand of the Company;
  2. if there is default in payment in any of the finance documents, the default interest shall be 15% per annum, to be accrued on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of repayment;
  3. the Loan shall be repaid on the maturity date, which shall be the fifth anniversary of the Loan Agreement (the maturity date was subsequently extended to 6 December 2025);
  4. the Loan will terminate upon the full repayment of the principal and all other amounts accrued in relation to the Loan;
  5. Azmil shall not create or permit to subsist any security over his share in PTG apart from the share pledge granted to the Company;
  6. Azmil may not sell, lease, transfer or dispose of his shares in PTG unless otherwise permitted under the finance documents or by the Company; and
  7. Azmil will apply the Loan proceeds towards investment in PTG.

The Loan has been fully drawn down by Azmil to date, pursuant to a capitalisation exercise carried out by PTG in December 2016, whereby all the proceeds from the Loan were lent to PTG and capitalised in exchange for 90,000 shares in PTG at an issue price of US$100 per share, which were issued to Azmil. The 90,000 PTG shares received by Azmil through the Loan were pledged to the Company. A further 74 PTG shares were issued to Azmil from the capitalisation of Azmil's personal loan to PTG. Prior to Azmil's acquisition of the 90,074 shares, he had held 12 shares out of a total of 18,000 outstanding shares in PTG. Pursuant to the capitalisation exercise, Azmil held 90,086 PTG shares, of which 90,000 shares were pledged to the Company.

As a result of the capitalisation exercise, Azmil became a controlling shareholder of PTG. Azmil was not acting as a nominee/in trust/under instruction/or in any other capacity of the Company when he used the Loan to purchase 90,000 shares in PTG to become a controlling shareholder. To the Company's knowledge, there is no existing relationship between Azmil and the Company, its directors and/or its substantial shareholders, save for the Loan and the share pledge.
