1. INTRODUCTION
      Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, on behalf of the Board of Directors of BGB (“Board”) is pleased to announce that the Company had on 4 December 2013 entered into a Business Acquisition Agreement (“BAA”) with ACD in relation to the Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects.

The Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects will form part of the Company’s plan to be announced to regularise its condition of being a Practice Note 17 (“PN17”) company pursuant to PN 17 of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Proposed Regularisation Plan”)

2. PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

(a) The Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects involves the purchase of:
          construction contracts, being the contracts/agreements to which ACD is a party and pursuant to which ACD has been appointed to carry out construction projects and/or construction works, and that are wholly or partly to be performed after the Completion Date (defined below in paragraph 2.3(ii)), including such agreements for which construction works have been completed but where the defect liability period have not yet expired (“the Contracts”);

          related receivables, being amounts owing to ACD by its clients in relation to construction projects and/or works performed or carried out pursuant to the Contracts, in the form of debts due and owing to ACD and/or retention sums being held by ACD’s clients on account of ACD (“the Receivables”); and

          original or certified copies of the books, records, documents, information, accounts and data (whether machine readable or in printed form) owned by ACD relating to the Contracts, Receivables and the employees being transferred (“the Business Records”).

          (collectively, “the Business Assets”)

          The Business Assets are to be acquired free from all encumbrances, together with all rights attached as at the Completion Date (defined below in paragraph 2.3(ii)), for a purchase consideration of RM10,000,000 in cash (“the Purchase Price”) upon the terms and conditions as set out in the BAA.


      (b) In the event the amount of the Receivables as at the Completion Date is less than the Minimum Receivables (defined below in paragraph 2.2), then ACD will deduct the shortfall between the Minimum Receivables and the actual amount of the Receivables as at the Completion Date from the Purchase Price to be paid to ACD.

      (c) Further, in the event any of the amounts due and owing from ACD’s clients or debtors which form part of the Receivables novated, assigned or transferred to the Purchaser, are subsequently not paid to the Purchaser or deemed not recoverable, either fully or in part, ACD will indemnify the Purchaser an amount equal to such unpaid or unrecoverable sum.
    2.1 Information on ACD
        ACD was incorporated in Malaysia under the Companies Act, 1965 as a private limited company. ACD has an authorised capital of RM1,000,000 comprising 1,000,000 ordinary shares of RM1.00 each, of which 1,000,000 ordinary shares are issued and credited as fully paid up. ACD is principally engaged in the business of property development and construction business.
        ACD’s registered office address is at Suite 9-03, Level 9, Menara Msc Cyberport, No. 5, Jalan Bukit Meldrum, Johor Bahru, 80300 Johor.
      2.2 Justification and Basis of Arriving at the Purchase Price

          The Purchase Price was arrived at after taking into consideration, amongst other factors, the following:

          (i) the value of the Business Assets as at the Completion Date being no less than RM10,000,000, comprising Receivables of not less than RM6,000,000 (“Minimum Receivables”); and
          (ii) the future earnings potential of the Contracts and the synergistic benefits to be derived by BGB and its subsidiaries (“BGB Group”) from the Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects.

      2.3 Salient Terms of the BAA
          (i) The Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects is conditional upon the fulfilment of the following conditions within the period of nine (9) months (“the Conditional Period”) from the date of the BAA or any extended period as the parties may mutually agree in writing:
              (a) A legal and financial due diligence on the Contracts by BGB and BGB's written confirmation to ACD of its’ satisfaction with the results thereof;

              (b) The approval of the Board of Directors of the BGB to the purchase of the Business Assets upon the terms and conditions set out in the BAA;

              (c) The approval of the members of the BGB to the purchase of the Business Assets upon the terms and conditions set out in the BAA;

              (d) The approval of Bursa Malaysia, the members of the BGB, the Court, and any other relevant authority or body for the Proposed Regularisation Plan or any aspect thereof to be undertaken by BGB; and

              (e) The approval(s) of any other governmental, administrative or regulatory authority(ies) if so required to complete the sale, purchase and transfer of the Business Assets on the terms and conditions set out in the BAA.

      (collectively “the Conditions Precedent”)
          (ii) The completion of the BAA shall be a day falling within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of fulfilment of the last of the Conditions Precedent or if such a day is not a Business Day in Kuala Lumpur, the next succeeding Business Day or such other extended period or periods or date as may be mutually agreed upon between ACD and BGB (“the Completion Date”).
          (iii) Subject to the BAA becoming unconditional upon the satisfaction or fulfilment of all the Conditions Precedent, in the event any of the Conditions Precedent is not fulfilled and not waived (which will be deemed as a satisfaction or fulfilment of that Condition Precedent) by the parties within the Conditional Period or by the expiration of any extension period mutually agreed by the parties in writing, as the case may be, the BAA will terminate and thereafter be null and void.
          (iv) The Purchase Price shall be paid in the following manner:
              (a) 95% of the Purchase Price, being RM9,500,000, will be paid to ACD within thirty (30) days after completion of the fund raising exercise to be implemented by the Company in accordance to the Proposed Regularisation Plan; and
                (b) the balance 5% of the Purchase Price of RM500,000 (“the Retained Sum”) will be retained by the Purchaser for a period of twelve (12) months after the Completion Date (“the Retention Period”) for the purpose of ACD’s indemnity under paragraphs 2(c) and (vi)(b) and will be dealt in accordance with item (v) below.
            (v) Upon the expiry of the Retention Period, BGB will

                (a) notify ACD in writing of the aggregate of all sums that are deemed not recoverable under paragraph 2(c) and all costs and/or expenses arising from BGB’s performance of remedial work under paragraph (vi)(b), together with the relevant supporting documentation;
                  (b) deduct such aggregate sum from the Retained Sum and release the balance of the Retained Sum, if any, to ACD after such deduction, within fourteen (14) days after the expiry of the Retention Period.
              (vi) ACD’s obligations at Completion:
                  (a) ACD must procure that on the Completion Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, which must in any event be within fourteen (14) days from the Completion Date, each Contract is novated, assigned or sub-contracted from ACD to BGB with effect from the Completion Date. Where a Contract has not been novated, assigned or sub-contracted to BGB on the Completion Date, ACD shall permit BGB to have the benefit of, and exercise ACD’s rights under, the Contract from the Completion Date until the Contract is novated, assigned or sub-contracted but only to the extent that this granting of a beneficial interest does not cause ACD to be in breach of that Contract;
                  (b) After the Completion Date, if BGB, in the course of its performance of any of the Contracts transferred, novated, assigned or sub-contracted to BGB, is contractually obliged or lawfully required to perform any remedial works in relation to construction works performed by ACD prior to the Completion Date, BGB shall notify ACD of the costs of such remedial works and ACD shall indemnify and keep BGB indemnified from and against any and all costs and/or expenses arising from BGB’s performance of such remedial work.

              (vii) Transfer of ACD’s employees relating to the business:
                    (a) BGB will use its best endeavours to offer to each employees of ACD employed in relation to the Business (subject to the right of BGB to exclude any such employees that BGB does not wish to employ, at its sole and absolute discretion) terms and conditions of employment with ACD immediately prior to the Completion Date;
                      (b) ACD must use its best endeavours to assist BGB to enable BGB to employ the employees; and
                      (c) ACD covenants and undertakes with BGB that ACD will not employ, appoint or make any offer for employment or appointment, whether as employee, independent contractor, consultant or adviser to any of the transferring employees within a period of 2 years commencing on the Completion Date.
                    (viii) ACD’s warranties:
                        (a) ACD acknowledges that BGB has entered into the BAA and will complete the BAA in reliance on the Warranties;

                        (b) ACD must promptly notify BGB (together with the provision of sufficient details) if, at any time after the date of the BAA it becomes aware that a Warranty has ceased to be true or an act or event has occurred that would or might reasonably be expected to result in a Warranty ceasing to be true if it were repeated immediately before or at Completion;

                        (c) At Completion, ACD’s order book in relation to the Contracts will be no less than RM250,000,000; and

                        (d) So far as ACD is aware, as at the date of the BAA, no Material Proceedings (as defined in the BAA) against ACD are pending or threatened and ACD is not aware of any disputes that will, or would reasonably be likely to, give rise to any Material Proceedings.

                    (ix) BGB’s warranties:
                        (a) that it will, prior to the Completion Date, take all necessary corporate and other actions to authorise the execution, delivery and performance of the BAA, including without limitation, the purchase of the Business Assets;

                        (b) BGB will obtain and maintain all approvals, licences, permits and authorisations that are material to carry out the construction works under the Contracts to be assigned, novated or sub-contracted from ACD to BGB; and

                        (c) BGB will promptly notify ACD (together with the provision of sufficient details) if, at any time after the date of this BAA it becomes aware that any of its warranties has ceased to be true or an act or event has occurred that would or might reasonably be expected to result in any of its warranties ceasing to be true if it were repeated immediately before or at Completion.

                    (x) ACD agrees to indemnify and keep BGB indemnified from and against any and all loss, damage, expenses and/or costs arising from any breach by ACD of the warranties, covenants and undertakings in the BAA.

                    (xi) BGB agrees to indemnify and keep ACD indemnified from and against any and all loss, damage, expenses and/or costs arising from any breach by BGB of the warranties, covenants and undertakings in the BAA.

                2.4 Source of Funds

                    The Purchase Price is expected to be financed by the funds to be raised pursuant to the Proposed Regularisation Plan to be announced by the Company.

                2.5 Liabilities to be Assumed

                    There are no liabilities, including contingent liabilities and guarantees, to be assumed by BGB arising from the Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects.

                2.6 Additional Financial Commitment

                The Board does not expect the Company to incur additional financial commitments, out of the ordinary course of business, in putting the business acquired from ACD on-stream.



                3. RATIONALE

                    The Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects is strategically important as the construction projects acquired from ACD will facilitate the BGB Group in rebuilding its construction business and to immediately enhance the revenue and profits of the Group. As the management of ACD has an established track record and project management expertise, BGB can leverage on it as BGB rebuilds its presence in the construction sector. The Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects will also broaden BGB’s portfolio of projects and capabilities.

                4. PROSPECTS

On the supply side, most major sectors expanded further in the third quarter, supported by the continued strength in domestic demand and the improvement in trade activity. The moderate expansion in the global economy in the third quarter supported the recovery in exports. International financial markets, however, experienced increased volatility amid uncertainties over the fiscal and monetary policies of the advanced economies, particularly the US. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally adjusted basis, the economy expanded by 1.7% (2Q 2013: 1.4%).

                    On the 2013 economic outlook, the Malaysian economy is forecasted to expand strongly between 5.0% and 6.0%, supported by the prospects of an improved global economy. The nation’s nominal Gross Domestic Product is expected to exceed RM1.0 trillion. Private investment and consumption is anticipated to continue supporting economic growth. Likewise, consumer spending is expected to continue supporting the economy albeit Bank Negara Malaysia’s measures to curb domestic household debts, backed by steady labour market and upgrade of civil servant salary scale. The construction sector is expected to increase further due to spillover effect from higher private investment. The services sector is also expected to be stronger supported by domestic demand and gradual improvement in the external environment.

                4.2 Prospects of ACD

                    In the 2013 Budget, RM100.0 million is set aside for the Ministry of Housing and Local Government to revive 30 abandoned housing projects. Taking into account of those attractive tax incentives and ample budget provision, it is anticipated that the housing construction will be stimulated and highly likely abandoned housing will be revived.
                    Moving forward, the overall property market performance for 2013 will be subjected to the local and global economic environment. Nevertheless, the construction activity is expected to be vigorous particularly by the residential sub-sector. Similarly for the shop and industry sub-sector, higher starts and building plans approvals in 2012 indicate buoyancy in the construction activity. In the retail and office sub-sector, the occupancy performances are expected to remain strong, backed by moderate increase in new supply and coupled with fewer starts and new planned supply. The implementation of ETP projects is expected to continue to be the supporting factor to the positive impact on the property market at large. The development of Klang Valley Mass rapid Transit as well as the Light Rail Transit extensions from Kelana Jaya to Putra Heights (Putra Line) and Sri Petaling to Putra Heights (Star Line) is expected to appreciate market value of surrounding properties. Brighter prospects for hotel and industrial sub-sectors are expected in response to incentives and programmes set forth by the government.

                    Accordingly, the Board believes that the construction industry will continue to be steady, and hence the prospects for the Company through the Proposed Acquisition of Construction Projects, are positive in the coming years. The Board is confident that ACD’s expertise and track record will continue to ensure a consistent flow of business in the future.

                    1. INTRODUCTION
                      The Board of Directors of KSTB wishes to announce that the Representative Agreement dated 1 January 2012 (“the Agreement”) entered into between KSTB and Tesco Singapore Pte. Ltd. (“Tesco”) will expire on 1 January 2014.

                    2. REPRESENTAIVE AGREEMENT

                      On 1 January 2012, KSTB and Tesco had entered into the Agreement for the appointment of KSTB as the representative of Tesco in Malaysia, including both East and West Malaysia for the provision of the following services:-
                      1. Top Drive Drilling Systems Services;
                      2. At Rig Floor Snubbing Services;
                      3. Tubing Running and Handling Services;
                      4. MCLRSTM (Multiple Control Line Running SystemTM) Services;
                      5. Casing Running/Reaming Services; and
                      6. CASING DRILLING Services.
                      Commission shall be payable to KSTB for the performance of its duties under the Agreement.
                      The Agreement will expire on 1 January 2014 or be terminated under the circumstances as stipulated in the Agreement.

                    3. RATIONALE

                      Following the acquisition of casing drilling business of Tesco by Schlumberger group of companies (“Schlumberger”) in May 2012 (“the Acquisition”), Tesco had purported to assign the casing drilling services to Schlumberger. The effect of this purported assignment would substantially reduce the provision of services by KSTB under the Agreement. KSTB has been engaged in negotiations on the terms of the assignment/novation but till todate has not signed all the agreements proposed with the parties.

                      In view thereof and without prejudice to KSTB’s rights, the decision has been made not to extend the Agreement upon its expiration on 1 January 2014.

                    4. FINANCIAL EFFECTS
                      The expiration of the Agreement will not have any material effect on the issued and paid-up share capital and substantial shareholdings of KSTB and is not expected to have any material effect on the net assets per share and earnings per share as well as gearing of KSTB for the financial year ending 30 June 2014.

                    5. DIRECTORS’ AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS’ INTEREST
                      None of the directors or major shareholders of KSTB or persons connected to them have any interest, direct and indirect, in the above matter.
                    6. DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT
                      The Board of Directors of KSTB is of the opinion that the above matter is in the best interest of the Company.

                    This announcement is dated 4 December 2013.
