We refer to the Company's announcements dated 20 December 2011, 1 June 2012, 2 July 2012 and 2 January 2013.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of AMolek, Hong Leong Investment Bank Berhad (formerly known as MIMB Investment Bank Berhad) wishes to announce that the Securities Commission (“SC”) had, vide its letter dated 7 January 2013 (which was received on 8 January 2013), rejected the application by the Company for an extension of time until 31 March 2013 to finalise and submit proposed revisions to the restructuring scheme which had been approved by the SC on 16 December 2011 (“Approved Restructuring Scheme”), on the basis that the application did not comply with Paragraph 10.04 of the SC’s Equity Guidelines which only provides for an extension of time for the purpose of implementing an approved proposal, and not for the purpose of finalising and submitting a new proposal.

NEW DEFAULT
DescriptionMELEWAR INDUSTRIAL GROUP BERHAD ("MIG" or "the Company")
- DEFAULT IN PAYMENT UNDER PRACTICE NOTE 1 OF THE MAIN MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA MALAYSIA SECURITIES BERHAD (“PN 1”)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
      The Board of Directors of MIG (“the Board”) wishes to announce that Siam Power Generation Public Company Limited (“Siam Power”), a sub-subsidiary of the Company, was unable to make the principal and interest payments of approximately RM45.0 million (“the Payment”) due and payable on 31 December 2012 (“the Due Date”) pursuant to the:

      (i) Credit Facilities dated 30 June 2008 made between:
          • Siam Power as Borrower;
          • Kasikornbank Public Company Limited (“KBank”), Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited (“Bank of Ayudhya”), Siam City Bank Public Company Limited and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, as the Lenders;
          • Bank of Ayudhya as Facility Agent; and
          • KBank as Security Agent;

      (ii) Amendment Agreement to the said Credit Facilities Agreement dated 8 July 2008 made between the parties mentioned in Item (i) above; and
        (iii) Subordination Agreement dated 8 July 2008 made between Mperial Power Ltd (“Mperial”) and the Company as Junior Creditors, Siam Power as Borrower and KBank as Security Agent.

        (collectively referred to as “the Default”)

        The Default is in respect of Siam Power’s credit facilities where the total amount outstanding is 5% or more of the consolidated net assets of MIG based on the latest published financial statement as at 30 September 2012.

    2.0 DETAILS OF THE DEFAULT
        The Company provides herewith the following details in compliance with Paragraph 3.1 of PN 1:

        a) Date of Default

          31 December 2012.
        b) Reason for the Default

          Siam Power was unable to pay the principal and interest payments totaling approximately RM45.0 million which was due for payment by 31 December 2012. However, as at the date of this announcement, the Lenders have not called an event of default on Siam Power.
          The operations of Siam Power has been very challenging as one of its two major customers has been unable to meet its contractual obligation to purchase electrical power, thus forcing Siam Power to operate at sub-efficient levels. The failure of this customer to fulfill its contracted power offtake from Siam Power has been the cause of the cash constraints faced by Siam Power and consequently affected Siam Power’s capacity to pay the principal and interest amounts due on the loan.

          This customer is currently undergoing a corporate restructuring exercise which when completed, is expected to see the customer resume the purchase of power as per the terms of the Power Purchase Agreement signed with the said customer.
        c) Measures by the Company to address the Default

          Siam Power has on 19 December 2012 written to the Lenders to seek indulgence of time up to 31 March 2013 from the Due Date to remedy this matter. As at the date of this announcement, the Lenders have not granted the indulgences requested or called an event of default on Siam Power.
          The Lenders are in the midst of appointing an independent financial advisor to look into the restructuring of the loan in view of the soon completion of the restructuring of the abovementioned customer of Siam Power.

        d) The legal implications of the Default

          There are no legal implications on MIG as the said credit facilities to Siam Power are on a non-recourse basis and are not guaranteed by MIG. Siam Power however may be subjected to legal recovery actions by the Lenders. However, as at the date of this announcement, the Lenders have not called an event of default on Siam Power.
        e) The business, financial and operational impact of the Default on the Company

          The Default is not expected to have any direct impact on the business, financial and operational aspects of MIG.
        f) In the event the Default is in respect of secured loan stocks or bonds, the lines of action available to the guarantors or security holders against the listed issuer

          Not applicable.

        g) In the event the Default is in respect of payments under a debenture, to specify whether the Default will empower the debenture holder to appoint a receiver or receiver and manager

          Not applicable.
        h) Whether the Default constitutes an event of default under a different agreement for indebtedness (“Cross Default”) and the details for such other default, where applicable

          In the event the Lenders call an event of default on Siam Power, the Default will constitute an event of default (Cross Default) under the various trade facilities and revolving credit lines provided by two (2) local banks to the Company and its subsidiaries. In this regard, MIG shall engage its local bankers to secure their continuing support.
        i) Where the Default is in respect of a subsidiary or associate company, a confirmation as to whether the subsidiary or associated company is a major subsidiary or major associate company, as the case may be
          Siam Power is a subsidiary of Mperial, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Melewar Steel Engineering Sdn Bhd (“MSE”). MSE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

      Siam Power is regarded as a major subsidiary of the Company.
        j) Where the default is in respect of the Company, major subsidiary or major associated company, as the case may be, a statement as to whether the Company is solvent (“Solvent Declaration”)
          Based on the explanations given herein and the Company’s existing and forecast cash-flows, the Directors are of the opinion that the Company is solvent as it will be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due within the period of 12 months from the date of this announcement.

          The Company hereby undertakes to provide to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, the Solvency Declaration duly executed by its Board of Directors within 3 market days from this announcement.
        k) Other information
          The Company shall update on a monthly basis on the current status of the Default and the steps taken to address the Default until such time when the Default is remedied.


    This announcement is dated 8 January 2013.
