Announcement Type: General Announcement
Company Name: PERAK CORPORATION BERHAD
Stock Name: PRKCORP
Date Announced: 29/10/2010

Announcement Detail:
Type: Announcement

Subject: TERMINATION OF SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT BY TAIPAN MERIT SDN BHD, A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF PERAK CORPORATION BERHAD

Contents: 1. INTRODUCTION

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Perak Corporation Berhad ("Company"), we wish to announce that on 28 October 2010, Taipan Merit Sdn Bhd ("TMSB"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, terminated the Shareholders Agreement dated 21 September 2001 ("SA") as amended by Addendum No.1 of 21 September 2001 ("Add1") and Addendum No.2 of 1 December 2003 ("Add2") (collectively referred to as the "SHA") between TMSB and Integrax Berhad ("Integrax") governing the management of Lumut Maritime Terminal Sdn Bhd ("LMTSB") which is a subsidiary of TMSB ("Termination").

2. REASONS FOR THE TERMINATION

On 8 October 2010, En. Harun Halim Rasip ("En. Harun") and Capt. Ng Ber Toon ("Capt. Ng") acting on the instructions and as representatives of Integrax, without the approval of the Board of Directors of LMTSB, assumed the powers of the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of LMTSB pending the renewal of service tenure of the existing CEO which expired on 30 September 2010 or the appointment of a new CEO which is yet to be resolved by the Board of Directors of LMTSB. En. Harun and Capt. Ng met the management of LMTSB and issued instructions to them without the sanction of the Board of Directors of LMTSB. Further instructions have been issued by them to the management of LMTSB thereafter.

On 20 October 2010, TMSB, via its solicitors, pursuant to Clause 11.1 of the SA, served a Notice of Default/Breach of the SHA ("Notice") on Integrax stating, inter alia, that the actions of En. Harun and Capt.Ng of 8 October 2010:

a) were never discussed nor sanctioned by the Board of Directors of LMTSB;
b) are in breach of an implied term of the SHA that LMTSB would be managed by its Board of Directors; and
c) are in contravention of Section 131B(1) of the Companies Act, 1965 which states that the business and affairs of a company must be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors.

The Notice further stated that Integrax had until 27 October 2010 to recant its action otherwise TMSB would terminate the SHA for breach by Integrax without further reference to them.

On 27 October 2010, solicitors acting for Integrax, replied to the Notice denying that the actions of En. Harun and Capt. Ng were in breach of the SHA.

On 28 October 2010, TMSB's solicitors served a Notice of termination of the SHA on the solicitors acting for Integrax and denied all matters raised in their letter dated 27 October 2010. The SHA is no longer of any force and effect in governing the management of LMTSB.

Solicitors acting for Integrax served a reply to the Notice of termination of the SHA on 28 October 2010 stating that their client views the termination of the SHA as wrongful and invalid.

There is no provision in the SHA that provides for the automatic dissolution of LMTSB if the SHA is terminated. It will also not affect the day to day operations of LMTSB and the company shall be managed by the Board of Directors of LMTSB in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association.

3. THE TERMINATION

3.1 Details of LMTSB

a) TMSB holds 50% plus 1 share of the total ordinary share capital of LMTSB. The principal activities of LMTSB is the development of an integrated privatized project encompassing ownership and operations of multipurpose port facilities, operations and maintenance of a bulk terminal sales and rental of port related land and other ancillary activities. A wholly owned subsidiary of Integrax holds the balance of the total ordinary share capital of LMTSB. Integrax is a company listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad which is an investment holding company.

b) LMTSB is the owner and operator of Lumut Maritime Terminal ("LMT") at Kg. Aceh, Perak, which is a terminal that provides total integrated port services and facilities. It also develops and sells industrial land which is adjacent to LMT.

c) LMTSB is the holder of a concession from the government of the State of Perak granting it an exclusive concession zone of a 30km radius around LMT. The construction within that zone of any jetties, cargo handling facilities or any other facilities similar to or in competition with the operation of LMTSB requires the prior consent of LMTSB. The concession ends in 2015, but may be extended at the discretion of the government of the State of Perak.

d) In exchange for LMTSB granting its consent to Lekir Bulk Terminal Sdn. Bhd. ("LBTSB") (which is an 80% owned subsidiary of a wholly owned subsidiary of Integrax with the remaining 20% held by a wholly owned subsidiary of Malakoff Berhad) for the construction of its coal import jetty for Phase1, LBTSB and LMTSB entered into an Operation and Maintenance Agreement dated 30 June 2000 ("OMA") in which LMTSB is paid to run the terminal operations of LBTSB. The OMA runs on an initial term of 180 months up to 2017 and two 5-year terms which are renewable until 2027.

e) Termination of the SHA does not affect the OMA as they are different agreements that are independent of each other dealing with different subject matters.

3.2 Salient Points of the SHA

a) The nomination of the CEO of LMTSB shall be the responsibility of Integrax who shall be acceptable to the Board of LMTSB and hold office for renewable periods of three (3) years each (Clause 7.3 (a) of SA and Clause 2.2 of Add2);

b) The CEO of LMTSB shall be responsible, in the best interests of LMTSB and its group of companies, for the overall management and direction of LMSTB's business and administration of its concession within the scope and limits of the policies, annual operating budgets and capital expenditure budgets approved by the Board (Clause 7.3 (c) of SA);

c) The appointment of CEO by LMTSB shall only be valid if it is endorsed by at least one director appointed by each of the Parties (Clause 6.3 (i) of SA);

e) Subject at all times to the provision of Clause 6, all Board decisions shall be valid if it is by a simple majority of the votes of the directors (Clause 6.2 of SA);

f) Where any party has failed to perform its obligations or comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in which event the other party shall be at liberty to issue to the Defaulting Party a notice specifying the breach or default and stipulating a reasonable period of time in the circumstances during, which such breach or default shall be rectified and the Defaulting Party has failed to comply with the terms of the said notice then such Party be entitled in their entire discretion to exercise the option to require the Defaulting Party to transfer all its shares in LMTSB to the non-defaulting party or to require the defaulting party to purchase all of their shares held by the non-defaulting party. Such option may be exercised at any time within sixty (60) days of the date of occurrence of such event of default unless the Parties agrees, the purchase price shall be a fair price (based primarily but not solely on the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets adjusted for minority interests and asset revaluations) as certified by the Auditors of the Company (Default and Termination, Clause 11.1 of SA); and

g) If any dispute or question whatsoever shall arise between the Parties with respect to the construction or effect of the Agreement the same shall be referred to arbitration to be held and conducted at Kuala Lumpur without prejudice to the right of any Party to obtain injunctive relief and the remedy of specific performance in Court (Clause 16.1 of SA).

4. RATIONALE OF THE TERMINATION

The Termination was necessary to restore proper and legal management of LMTSB and to reinstate the authority of the Board of Directors over the business and affairs of LMTSB in compliance with Section 131B(1) of the Companies Act, 1965. Under the circumstances, the Termination is in the best interests of LMTSB and the Company.
