1. Nomination of Sumurwang Sdn Bhd

On behalf of the Board of Directors of I-Berhad, CIMB wishes to announce that the Company has today received nomination letters from The Peak @ KLCC whereby The Peak @ KLCC has identified Sumurwang Sdn Bhd (“Sumurwang”) as the registered and beneficial holder of the RCULS-B and the ICULS to be issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SOHO Land SPA and the Tower Land SPA (“Nomination Letters”).

In addition, following the terms and conditions stipulated in the SOHO Land SPA and the Tower Land SPA, Sumurwang has also irrevocably and unconditionally undertaken to carry out the renounceable restricted offer for sale of up to 50% of up to RM301.30 million nominal value of ICULS at its nominal value to the minority shareholders of I-Berhad, in place of The Peak @ KLCC, as part of the Proposed SOHO Land Acquisition and the Proposed Tower Land Acquisition.

Sumurwang was incorporated in Malaysia as Lim Kim Hong Holding Sdn Bhd under the Act on 11 October 1980 as a private limited company. It changed its name to Sumurwang Sdn Bhd on 30 August 1984 and converted to become a public company, Sumurwang Bhd on the same date. Sumurwang assumed its current name when it converted back to a private limited company on 19 January 1990. The present authorised share capital of Sumurwang is RM50,000,000 comprising 49,999,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each and 1,000 preference shares of RM1.00 each, of which 42,612,570 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each have been issued and fully paid-up.

The current directors of Sumurwang are Tan Sri Lim Kim Hong (“Tan Sri Lim”), Puan Sri Tey Siew Thuan (“Puan Sri Tey”) and Lee Ming Suan.

2. Amendments to the SOHO Land SPA and Tower Land SPA

The Company had on 9 May 2014 also received notices from the Land Proprietors confirming that upon the issuance of the RCULS-B and the ICULS to Sumurwang, being the holding company of the Land Proprietors, in accordance with the Nomination Letters when the SOHO Land SPA and Tower Land SPA are completed, the amounts owing by The Peak @ KLCC to the Land Proprietors (as highlighted in Sections 3.2.3(vii) and 4.2.3(ix) of the Announcement) shall be deemed as fully settled, and The Peak @ KLCC shall thereupon have fully discharged its obligation to settle the amounts owing (“Confirmation Letter”).

Further, the Confirmation Letter also stipulated that The Peak @ KLCC and the Land Proprietors shall deliver to ICP and CCSB (or their respective solicitors) on the completion date of the SOHO Land SPA and the Tower Land SPA (“Completion Date”) confirmation in writing that the amounts owing by The Peak @ KLCC to the Land Proprietors have been fully settled.

Pursuant to the above, the parties to the SOHO Land SPA and the Tower Land SPA, namely I-Berhad, ICP, CCSB, The Peak @ KLCC and the Land Proprietors had on 12 May 2014 entered into supplemental agreements to the SOHO Land SPA and the Tower Land SPA (“Supplemental Agreements”) to delete a condition precedent in the SOHO Land SPA and the Tower Land SPA requiring for all amounts owing by The Peak @ KLCC to the Land Proprietors to be fully settled by the SOHO Cut-Off Date and the Tower Cut-Off Date (see Sections 3.2.3(vii) and 4.2.3(ix) of the Announcement).
