On behalf of the Board of Directors of Ingress Corporation Berhad ("Ingress"), we wish to announce that IPSB, our 90%-owned subsidiary, has entered into a Share Sale Agreement ("SSA") dated 27 January 2011 to acquire 126,475 ordinary shares ("Sale Shares") of IDR8,875 each ("PTIMV Shares") in PTIMV, our subsidiary in Indonesia, from our Indonesian partner, PT Tidar Adyagiri Sakti ("PTTAS" or "the Seller").

3. RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION
