-Letter from Multimedia Development Corporation Sdn Bhd (“MDeC”) to ManagePay Technologies Sdn Bhd (“MTSB”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of ManagePay, in relation to the MPAY Collection on Delivery (COD) Solutions and Services (“COD Project”)

The Board of Directors of ManagePay wishes to announce that MTSB had on 15 January 2015 accepted the Letter of Offer from MDeC dated 9 January 2015 (“Letter of Offer”) on the offer from MDeC to grant MTSB a maximum sum of Ringgit Malaysia Seven Hundred Forty-Nine Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Five (RM749,185.00) only for the Product Development & Commercialisation Fund (“the Grant”) for the purpose of developing and commercialising MPAY Collection on Delivery (COD) Solutions and Services (“COD Project”), subject to the terms and conditions as set out in the Letter of Offer.

The COD Project is designed to support the growth of e-commerce in Malaysia. It allows the sale of goods by mail or online order where credit cards or debit cards payment is made via MPAY Mobile POS on delivery rather than in advance. If the goods are not paid for, they are returned to the retailer.

The recipient of the Grant has to meet stringent criteria amongst others, a project submitted must have clear sales targets and market share goals been established in terms of geography and timelines and more importantly, a business intent declared by a prospective client.

The Company has received a Letter of Intent dated 10 June 2014 from Skynet Worldwide (M) Sdn. Bhd. (34594-V) during the submission of the Grant application, which stated its interest to become a prospective client of ManagePay COD Project. ManagePay believes that the COD Project will provide ManagePay Group an additional source of revenue stream as it is estimated that a substantial portion of the total e-commerce transaction will be fulfilled through COD services upon the market and service maturity in coming years.
