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 further to the previous monthly announcement made on 5 February 2013, the Company is awaiting Bursa Securities’ decision on its appeal against the de-listing of the securities of the Company from the Official List of Bursa Securities.

1. INTRODUCTION
(a) a parcel of freehold land located at Lot Nos. 299 and 300, Mukim of Ayer Panas, District of Jasin, Melaka for a total cash consideration of RM3.7 million; and (b) a parcel of freehold land located at Lot 901, Mukim of Buloh Kasap, District of Segamat, Johor for a total cash consideration of RM4.8 million (“Disposals”). Upon completion of the Disposals, approximately 99.9% of AMolek’s assets, on a consolidated basis, will consist of cash and cash equivalents. An application for a waiver was thus submitted to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) from classifying AMolek as an affected listed issuer pursuant to Paragraph 8.03(1) and Practice Note 16 (“PN16”) (i.e. Cash Company) of the Listing Requirements, on the basis that the proceeds from the Disposals would be entirely utilised to recover the 711-acre plantation land in Segamat (“Segamat Land”) and the triggering of the cash criterion would only be temporary since AMolek would cease to be a ‘Cash Company’ as soon as the recovery of the Segamat Land is completed. Bursa Securities had on 13 September 2012 decided that AMolek would not be considered as a ‘Cash Company’ as a result of the Disposals, subject to AMolek implementing a regularisation plan as approved by the Securities Commission (“SC”). On 7 January 2013, the SC rejected the application by the Company for an extension of time to finalise and submit proposed revisions to the restructuring scheme which had been approved by the SC on 16 December 2011. Thereafter, another application was made to Bursa Securities seeking its approval for a waiver from classifying AMolek as a Cash Company, pending the decision of the Court of Appeal in allowing AMolek’s claim for the return of the Segamat Land, which if granted, would require the Company to utilise the proceeds from the Disposals for the refund of the purchase price for the Segamat Land. On 25 February 2013, the Court of Appeal allowed Bintang-Bintang Sdn Bhd’s (“BBSB”) appeal against the earlier decision of the Johor Bahru High Court as announced by the Company on 1 June 2012. The Board of AMolek would be filing a Notice of Motion in the Federal Court seeking leave to appeal to the Federal Court against the decision of the Court of Appeal. On 28 February 2013, Bursa Securities notified that the Company is a Cash Company. Paragraph 8.03 of the Listing Requirements provides that the cash company must ensure that its available cash be utilised only for implementing a proposal to acquire a new core business as approved by the SC or pro rata distributions to shareholders in the event it is unable to fulfil its obligations under PN16. As a Cash Company, AMolek must:
(ii) announce the status of its proposal not later than 2 months after the end of each quarter of a financial year, until further notice from Bursa Securities; (iii) announce its compliance or non-compliance with a particular obligation imposed pursuant to PN16 of the Listing Requirements on an immediate basis; (iv) announce the details of the proposal which announcement must fulfil the requirements as set out in Paragraph 2.2 of PN16 of the Listing Requirements; and (v) where AMolek fails to regularise its condition, announce the dates of suspension and de-listing of its listed securities immediately upon notification of suspension and de-listing by Bursa Securities.
(ii) If AMolek fails to comply with any part of its obligations prescribed in subparagraph (5)(a) of Paragraph 8.03 of the Listing Requirements, it must ensure that all moneys deposited, together with interests earned, with a financial institution licensed by Bank Negara Malaysia and operated by a custodian are distributed to its shareholders on a pro-rata basis as soon as practicable. 4.

Description | TRANSACTION PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 10.09 OF THE MAIN MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS - ACQUISITION OF LPG MARKETING AND SALE BUSINESS OF PETRON FUEL INTERNATIONAL SDN BHD |
Introduction Petron Malaysia Refining & Marketing Bhd (formerly known as Esso Malaysia Berhad) (“PMRMB”) wishes to announce that it has on March 1, 2013 executed a formal agreement with its sister company, Petron Fuel International Sdn Bhd (formerly known as ExxonMobil Malaysia Sdn Bhd) (“PFISB”) (collectively “Companies”) to acquire, effective immediately, PFISB’s Liquified Petrolem Gas (“LPG”) marketing and sale business. Background PMRMB and PFISB both have LPG businesses. The businesses of both Companies involve marketing and sale of LPG as well as bottling of LPG cylinders at (for PMRMB) the Port Dickson Terminal and (for PFISB) at a Westport Terminal bottling facility (that is operated by a joint venture company owned by PFISB in equal part with a 3rd party oil company unrelated to Petron Corporation). Since the acquisition of controlling shares in PMRMB and PFISB by Petron Oil & Gas International Sdn Bhd (“POGI”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Petron Corporation (“Take-over” and in relation to PMRMB, the subject matter of an announcement made on March 30, 2012), both Companies have been exploring means of streamlining the LPG business. This is because being under two separate Companies, the LPG businesses of both Companies require separate operational and financial management . The LPG cylinders used by both Companies too are of different sizes and colour schemes. This again is contrary to the Companies’ plans on harmonizing the brand and image of all products under the ‘Petron” brand. Currently PMRMB’s LPG cylinders use the “Esso” brand name while PFISB uses the “Mobil” brand name – both of which are proprietary to ExxonMobil, which by agreement between ExxonMobil and Petron Corporation, Petron Corporation is required to re-brand as the right of using ExxonMobil’s proprietary brand names are for a limited duration only. In this regard all LPG cylinders marketed by Petron subsidiaries in Malaysia (“Petron”) are being re-branded as “PETRON-GASUL”; a proprietary LPG brand of Petron Corporation. Rationale for the Acquisition The rationale in PMRMB acquiring the LPG marketing and sale business of PFISB is logical given that 85% of Petron’s market share in the LPG business in peninsular Malaysia comes from PMRMB. PMRMB currently bottles 80% of its LPG cylinders at its Port Dickson Terminal and 20% of its requirements at the Westport Terminal bottling facility. The Companies have agreed: (1) that the Westport Terminal bottling facility will be engaged to continue to Bottle LPG cylinders for PMRMB; and (2) As LPG is a controlled item as determined by the Government, the Westport Terminal bottling facility will act as a business continuity facility in the event of any disaster or emergency affecting PMRMB’s ability to bottle LPG at its Port Dickson Terminal bottling facility. By taking over PFISB’s network of dealers (and its market) and with a single focus brand (“PETRON – GASUL”) PMRMB would be able to grow its business in the peninsular Malaysia LPG market. The streamlining of operational and financial management too would lead to efficiencies in managing the business. By taking over PFISB’s marketing and sale business, PMRMB would have immediate access to existing LPG cylinders of PFISB that it could refurbish, re-brand as “PETRON-GASUL” and market to its customers. Salient Terms of the Agreement The salient terms of the Agreement are that: 1. PMRMB takes over PFISB’s LPG cylinders and the LPG marketing and sales business 2. PMRMB will pay PFISB (“Consideration”): (a) a one off nominal goodwill payment for taking over its business, dealership and customers; (b) a one off scrap value payment for its LPG cylinders that PMRMB takes over; (c) a one-time payment for PFISB’s LPG inventory balance at a transfer price based on market rate; and (d) Westport Terminal bottling facilities fees in the form of fixed annual cost and a variable cost. 3. PFISB will exit the LPG marketing and sale business and concentrate its efforts as a bottling plant operator. The Agreement is for a two year period and may be extended by mutual agreement between the Companies. The total Consideration over the duration of the Agreement (that also includes the above-mentioned variable bottling cost that is charged at prevailing market rate of LPG) is expected to be RM16,733,000. Related Party Transaction The Agreement entered into by PMRMB with its sister company PFISB would be a recurrent related party transaction. Related Parties Following the Take-over, and the subsequent completion of the Mandatory General Offer, POGI controls 73.4% of the paid up capital and voting shares in PMRMB and is the largest shareholder of PMRMB. From the date of the Take-over on March 30, 2012, POGI owns 100% of the paid up capital in PFISB. Apart from that disclosed above, POGI has no other direct or indirect interest in the Agreement. Mr. Ramon S. Ang, Mr Eric O. Recto and Ms. Aurora T. Calderon are common directors of POGI and PMRMB. Mr Lubin B. Nepomuceno is a Director of PMRMB and is an alternate Director to Mr Eric O. Recto on the Board of Directors of POGI. Mr Ramon S. Ang and Mr Lubin B. Nepomuceno are common Directors of both PMRMB and PFISB. Mr Ramon S. Ang is also Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PMRMB. Both Directors had declared their interest to the Board of Directors of PMRMB and abstained from discussion or voting when the Board of PMRMB considered and passed the necessary resolution pertaining to the proposed acquisition of PFISB’s LPG marketing and sale business. All the above-mentioned Directors have no direct or indirect interest in the Agreement between PMRMB and PFISB. They were also not directly or indirectly involved in the negotiations between the Companies leading to the execution of the said Agreement. Apart from that disclosed above, no person connected to PMRMB’s major shareholder (POGI), or the above-mentioned Directors have any direct or indirect interest in the said Agreement. ‘Percentage Ratio’ The highest ‘percentage ratio’ calculated pursuant to Paragraph 10.02(g) of the Main Market Listing Requirements is 2.23%. The consideration was negotiated by the Companies on an arms-length basis, following strict internal guidelines, to ensure terms and conditions, including the consideration paid, was fair and reasonable to both Companies. Approvals – Board Audit Committee / Board of Directors / Regulatory Authorities The Board Audit Committee of PMRMB having reviewed the Agreements and the related party nature of the Agreement, formed the view that :
The Board of Directors of PMRMB, having reviewed the proposal and rationale for the acquisition of PFISB’s LPG marketing and sale business as well as the terms of the Agreement and having considered the views of the Board Audit Committee, resolved that the Agreement was in the best interest of PMRMB. The above said Agreement does not require any regulatory approvals on the part of PMRMB and any regulatory notice by PFISB to the relevant authorities will be dealt with by PFISB independent of PMRMB. This announcement is dated March 1, 2013.

PETRONM - OTHERS ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 9.03 OF THE MAIN MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS

Description | ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 9.03 OF THE MAIN MARKET LISTING REQUIREMENTS |
Introduction Petron Malaysia Refining & Marketing Bhd (formerly known as Esso Malaysia Berhad) (“PMRMB”) wishes to announce that it has as of March 1, 2013, exited the Lubricants sector of its overall business. Background On March 30, 2012, 65% of the voting shares in PMRMB (then ‘Esso Malaysia Berhad’) owned by ExxonMobil International Holdings Inc was acquired by Petron Oil & Gas International Sdn Bhd, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Petron Corporation. As announced on the same day (“TERMINATION OF AGREEMENTS WITH EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION’S AFFILIATES”), among the inter-company agreements PMRMB had with Exxon Mobil Corporation affiliates (that were terminated) was the lubricant and specialty supply arrangement between PMRMB and Exxon Trading Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. Exxon Mobil Corporation’s proprietary ‘Mobil’ branded lubricants were carved out of the acquisition agreement between Petron Corporation and ExxonMobil as ExxonMobil wished to retain its lubricant brand and have control over its branded lubricant business. PMRMB (in the interim following the acquisition by Petron) continued to allow its petrol station dealers to stock ‘Mobil’ branded lubricants which the dealers could acquire directly through ExxonMobil appointed distributors in Malaysia. PMRMB also made arrangements for its petrol station dealers to acquire ‘Petron’ branded lubricants directly from appointed 3rd party lubricants distributors. This arrangement with 3rd party lubricant distributors to supply ‘Petron’ branded lubricants directly to PMRMB’s petrol station dealers and motorist will continue even after PMRMB exits the Lubricants business. ‘Petron’ branded lubricants are proprietary brands of Petron Corporation. Rationale for the Discontinuation PMRMB recognizes that the marketing of a new brand of lubricants to the Malaysian market would require much allocation of cost and other resources on the part of PMRMB. PMRMB having reviewed the matter, formed the view that PMRMB’s strengths lie in its strong and visible retail fuels marketing business and commercial business – including LPG, industrial and wholesale fuels and aviation fuel. It also has a substantial business in petroleum refining and supply/distribution; elements within PMRMB that supports its retail and commercial businesses. The marketing and sales efforts and resources of PMRMB (including time, financial allocations and manpower) would be more beneficially utilised in fuels marketing and commercial businesses where there is certainty of higher return on investments. PMRMB also takes the view that lubricants business under a new brand name may take time to mature and in the interim, Minority Interests may be adversely affected by low or negative margin in relation to investments made in this sector; when such investments could be made in other higher-return businesses of the Company. Financial Impact It is estimated that marketing efforts to introduce a new brand of lubricants in the Malaysian market would not yield immediate returns. Further, the loss of profit contribution from the sales of a new brand of lubricants, to the Company’s overall profitability, would not be material. Thus no significant or material negative financial impact is expected from the discontinuation of the Lubricant business. PMRMB is also of the view that the re-allocation of investments and resources to the Company’s higher yield businesses would result in better returns on investment. Approvals – Board of Directors / Regulatory Authorities The Board of Directors (including the Independent Directors of the Board Audit Committee), following deliberation of the proposal opined that the proposal would be in the best interest of the Company and that the proposal would not have any detrimental effect on Minority Interest shareholders. No approvals from regulatory authorities are required for the above. This announcement is dated March 1, 2013. |
