United States Customs and Border Protection Document Submission

We refer to the announcement dated 28 January 2022.

Sime Darby Plantation Berhad (SDP) refers to the Withhold Release Order (WRO) issued by the United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) on 30 December 2020 and the Finding which was subsequently issued by the USCBP on 28 January 2022 against palm oil and palm oil products made by SDP and its subsidiaries and joint ventures at SDP's Malaysian operations.

SDP submitted a comprehensive report today to USCBP in relation to the above, which includes a detailed assessment of SDP's Malaysian operations mapped against each of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) forced labour indicators; an in-depth description of improved governance structures and management systems; copies of policies, guidelines and standard operating procedures; details of facilities at SDP Operating Units; corresponding supporting evidence; and independent reports from third party consultants appointed by SDP to assess various aspects of its operations.

The aim of the report is to demonstrate SDP's full compliance with the United States import regulations and international labour standards, and that SDP has internal controls and systems in place to protect the rights of its workers and ensure their well-being whilst addressing and removing the existence of any possible indicators of forced labour.

SDP will give its full co-operation and continue to engage with the USCBP to modify the Finding.

The Company will release announcement to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Securities) on any material development on the matter on a timely basis as required by the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities.

This announcement is dated 26 April 2022.
