The Board of Directors of Warisan TC Holdings Berhad ("WTCH" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that Belize Holdings Sdn Bhd ("Belize"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WTCH, has on 16 November 2010 entered into a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") with American Express Travel Holdings (M) Company Sdn Bhd ("AET") for the acquisition of 177,601 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each in Mayflower American Express Travel Services Sdn Bhd ("MAE") representing the remaining 30% of the issued and paid-up share capital of MAE ("Sale Shares") for a total cash consideration of RM13,000,000 ("the Proposed Acquisition").

Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, MAE will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Belize and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of WTCH.

2. DETAILS OF THE ACQUISITION

2.1 Information on Belize

Belize is a private limited company incorporated in Malaysia on 4 April 1997 with the principal activity of investment holding. It has an authorized share capital of RM500,000 divided into 500,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each of which 300,000 ordinary shares have been issued and are fully paid up.

2.2 Information on AET

AET is a private limited company incorporated in Malaysia on 8 July 1999 with the principal activity of investment holding. It has an authorized share capital of RM100,000 divided into 100,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each of which 2 ordinary shares have been issued and are fully paid up.

2.3 Information on MAE

MAE is a private limited company incorporated in Malaysia on 18 June 1984 under the name of Travel Shoppe Sdn Bhd with the principal activity of provision of air ticketing services and operation of inbound tours. MAE assumed its present name on 6 September 2000. It has an authorized share capital of RM1,000,000 divided into 1,000,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each of which 592,002 ordinary shares have been issued and are fully paid up.

Belize and AET are the registered and beneficial owners of 70% and 30% of the equity interest in MAE respectively.

A Joint Venture Agreement dated 24 August 2000 was entered into between AET, Belize, Mayflower Acme Tours Sdn Bhd ("MAT") and MAE whereby the parties have agreed to inter alia, establish a travel agency called MAE to provide travel management services as well as inbound support to travelers from around the world. Previously, MAT was appointed a travel representative to handle inbound travel for AET's travel customers and card members. Pursuant to the said Joint Venture Agreement, these business activities of MAT were transferred to MAE. MAT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WTCH and is principally engaged in the operation of inbound and outbound tours and the provision of cars and coaches for rental and leasing.

2.4 Salient Terms of the SPA

The salient terms of the SPA are as follows :-

(i) AET has agreed to sell and Belize has agreed to purchase the Sale Shares for a total cash consideration of RM13,000,000 ("Purchase Price").

(ii) The Sale Shares will be purchased free from all encumbrances and together with all rights now or hereafter attaching thereto.

(iii) Upon execution of the SPA,

? Belize shall pay RM13,000,000 to AET being the Purchase Price for the Sale Shares.
? MAE shall simultaneously enter into Travel Network and Trademark License Agreements with American Express Limited ("Amexco") in respect of the appointment of MAE by Amexco to act as Amexco's non-exclusive travel partner network to carry on travel operation by providing business travel services to corporate and consumer clients in Malaysia using the trademarks and/or service marks of Amexco.
? Belize shall also enter into a Termination Agreement with AET, MAE and MAT to terminate the Joint Venture Agreement dated 24 August 2000.

2.5 Basis for the Purchase Price

The Purchase Price for the Proposed Acquisition was arrived at on a willing buyer-willing seller basis after taking into consideration the historical performance, earnings projection and future prospects of MAE.

The Purchase Price will be satisfied entirely by cash from external borrowings.

3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

The Proposed Acquisition will enable the WTCH Group to participate fully in the management of MAE after partnering with AET for the past 10 years and to share the best practices of MAE with MAT. The Proposed Acquisition will also enable the Group to consolidate and leverage on MAE's travel volumes for negotiation with suppliers for better air fares and seat inventory.

4. FINANCIAL EFFECTS

The Proposed Acquisition is not expected to have any material effect on the earnings per share, net assets per share and gearing of the WTCH Group for the current financial year ending 31 December 2010. However, it is expected to contribute positively to the Group's earnings in the longer term.

The Proposed Acquisition will not have any effect on the share capital and substantial shareholders' shareholdings of WTCH.

5. APPROVALS REQUIRED

The Proposed Acquisition does not require the approval of the shareholders of WTCH.

6. PROSPECTS AND RISK FACTORS

The travel and tourism industry is expected to grow. MAE has an established infrastructure in place, and will continue with the acquisition of corporate accounts to expand its market share and this will ultimately improve its earnings in the long term. Amexco is the global leader in business travel management services and the appointment of MAE as Amexco's travel partner network will further enhance MAE position in the market.

The Board of Directors does not foresee any risk factor arising from the Proposed Acquisition except for competitive risk, business risk, economic risk, risks arising from changes in the Government policies/legislation etc., normally associated with the travel/tourism industry, for which the WTCH Group is already involved in. No assurance can however be given that any adverse development in such risk areas would not affect the business and/or financial position/performance of MAE.

7. DIRECTORS' AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS' INTERESTS

None of the directors or major shareholders of WTCH or persons connected with them, has any interest, direct or indirect, in the Proposed Acquisition.

8. STATEMENT BY DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of WTCH, having considered all aspects of the Proposed Acquisition, is of the opinion that the Proposed Acquisition is in the best interest of WTCH Group.

9. PERCENTAGE RATIO

The highest percentage ratio applicable to the Proposed Acquisition pursuant to Paragraph 10.02(g) of Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad is 11.5% based on the audited financial statements of WTCH for the financial year ended 31 December 2009.
