Description
MAA GROUP BERHAD (FORMERLY KNOWN AS MAA HOLDINGS BERHAD) (“MAAG” or “the Company”)

ACQUISITION OF A WHOLESALE MORTGAGE DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS BY COLUMBUS CAPITAL PTY LTD FROM AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

The Board of Directors of MAAG wishes to announce that its associate company, Columbus Capital Pty Ltd (“CCAU”) has on 21 September 2012 entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“ANZ”) to acquire ANZ’s wholesale mortgage distribution business, Origin Mortgage Management Services (“Origin”). Origin manages a portfolio of approximately AUD 2.2 billion in residential mortgages.

The acquisition will be part financed by funds raised from issuance of Preference Shares B by Columbus Capital Singapore Pte Ltd (“CCS”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of MAA International Investment Ltd* (“MAAII”) and Consortia Group Holdings Pty Limited (“Consortia”), the only other shareholder of CCAU.
    A Share Subscription Deed to subscribe 2.0 million Preference Shares B at AUD1.00 per share for a total cash consideration of AUD2.0 million or RM6.7 million equivalent (based on the prevailing exchange rate of AUD1.00: RM3.35) was executed by CCS, a wholly-owned subsidiary company of MAAII on 11 September 2012. The 2.0 million Preference Shares B represents 4.68% of the enlarged equity interest in CCAU. The proposed subscription is expected to be completed by 24 September 2012. Consortia will subscribe to 1.25 million Preference Shares B at an issue price of AUD1.00 per share which represents 2.92% of the enlarged equity interest in CCAU. The proposed subscription will increase CCS’ equity interest in CCAU from 46.84% to 47.95% whilst correspondingly decrease Consortia’s overall interest from 53.16% to 52.05%.

    * MAAII is a wholly-owned subsidiary company of MAA Corporation Sdn Bhd, which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary company of MAAG.

    The Preference Shares are ranked prior to the existing series A preference shares and ordinary shares and are unconvertible and redeemable.

    Origin provides residential mortgage funding originated by a network of Mortgage Managers throughout Australia. Under these arrangements Mortgage Managers are responsible for loan origination and are the ongoing customer service contact point for all borrowers. Origin maintains ownership of product and lending policy parameters together with the system where the lending data is managed.

    Barring unforeseen circumstances, the acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of MAAG in the form of dividend income. However, the form, frequency and quantum of the future dividend payments will depend on the future earnings, capital requirement, cash flow and financial conditions of CCAU as well as the general business conditions and other factors which may affect CCAU.

    The acquisition is not subject to the approval of the shareholders of MAAG or any regulatory authorities.
      None of the Directors and substantial shareholders of MAAG and persons connected to them have any interest, direct or indirect, in the acquisition.

      This announcement is dated 21 September 2012.
