Pursuant to paragraph 9.19(23) of the Main Market Listing Requirements, Mega First Corporation Berhad ("MFCB" or "the Company") wishes to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rock Chemical Industries (Malaysia) Sdn Berhad ("RCI") had on 22 November 2013 acquired 600 fully paid ordinary shares of RM1.00 each ("Sale Shares") representing 60% of the issued and paid-up share capital of Runding Kualiti Sdn Bhd ("Runding Kualiti") for the cash consideration of RM1,200,000 ("the Acquisition") from a private individual.

The Sale Shares were acquired by RCI free from all liens, pledges, charges and encumbrances and with all rights attached thereto. The purchase price of RM1,200,000 was arrived at on a willing-buyer willing-seller basis after taking into consideration the prospects of Runding Kualiti and its financial position based on its management accounts as at 30 September 2013. The purchase price is funded by internally generated funds.

Runding Kualiti is a private limited company that was incorporated in Malaysia on 21 January 2013.  It has an issued share capital of RM1,000 comprising 1,000 fully paid ordinary shares of RM1.00 each.  Runding Kualiti has not yet commenced operations. Its intended principal activities are investment holding and mineral mining.

The Acquisition will have no effect on MFCB's share capital and substantial shareholders' shareholding. It also will have no material effect on the consolidated earnings, net assets and gearing of MFCB Group for the financial year ending 31 December 2013.

In so far as the Directors are able to ascertain, none of the Company's Directors, major shareholders and/or persons connected with them have any interest, direct or indirect, in the Acquisition.

This announcement is dated 22 November 2013.
