DescriptionMalaysia Pacific Corporation Berhad (“MPCORP” or the “Company”)
- Clarification on the Article published in the newspaper, Focus Malaysia dated 4 January 2014 entitled “MPCB shareholders question ‘secret O&G MOU’”
We refer to the Article entitled “MPCB shareholders question ‘secret O&G MOU’” published in the newspaper, Focus Malaysia dated 4 January 2014.
The Board of Directors of MPCORP wishes to announce and/or clarify as follows:-

1. On 3 October 2013, MPCORP announced that the Company had entered into a Memorandum Of Understanding (“MoU”) with Black Sea Horizon Investment Holdings Limited (“Black Sea”) to promote Malaysia as Asia “Economic Corridor” of trade and services link with China, ASEAN, India and The Middle East.
    MPCORP and Black Sea will endeavour to coordinate and secure the relevant co-operation with appropriate partners with the approvals from the regulatory bodies in China and Malaysia for Asia Pacific Trade and Expo City (“APTEC”). APTEC is a consumer products trade hub and serves as a platform for China-Malaysia Strategic Economic Partnership.

    Black Sea had made a few site visits and sent their Merger and Acquisition team from 14 December 2013 to 18 December 2013 to undertake the evaluation of proposed joint-ventures on APTEC with the Company.
2. Other than the MoU announced on 3 October 2013, as at to-date, MPCORP did not enter into any MoU with any party or parties in relation to Oil & Gas project as reported by Focus Malaysia. Thus, MPCORP is not a contracting party for the MoU entered into between Black Sea, Power Pacific Petroleum (International) Limited (“Power Pacific”) and Trans-Nusantara Venture Sdn Bhd in relation to the Oil & Gas (“MoU Oil & Gas”) as reported in Focus Malaysia.

3. Power Pacific and Power Pacific Petroleum Sdn Bhd are not related to MPCORP nor are they subsidiary companies of MPCORP. Therefore, the statement made by Focus Malaysia on “MPCORP had recently struck off a dormant subsidiary, Power Pacific Petroleum Sdn Bhd” is untrue.

4. The former Chief Executive Officer of MPCORP, Dato’ Bill Ch’ng has been in the oil and gas and plantation business in Indonesia as well as in the mining business in Mongolia before his investment in MPCORP in year 2004. Dato’ Bill acted as an intermediary or introducer connecting the collaboration between Black Sea and Power Pacific.

This announcement is dated 7 January 2014.

1. INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors of BHB is pleased to announce that BHB, had on 6 January 2014, entered into a Collaboration Agreement (“CA”) with ANA Holdings Inc (“ANA”) to produce halal Japanese cuisine for in-flight catering in Japan and to consider the establishment of a joint venture for a Halal flight kitchen in Narita and Haneda Airports, Tokyo, Japan.

2. INFORMATION ON ANA

2.1 ANA

ANA is a public listed company incorporated in Japan. The principal businesses of ANA comprised of provision of air transportation (via All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd) and travel services. The air transportation business includes in-flight food purchasing, which is operated through its subsidiary, ANA Catering Service Co., Ltd (“ANAC”).

3. SALIENT TERMS OF THE CA

The salient terms of the CA, which include amongst others, are as follows:

(a) Washoku-Japanese collaboration at BHB": ANA, through ANAC, is keen on supervising and promoting Washoku-Japanese, not only on in-flight cuisine to be served on airlines, but also on Japanese food menus in general by making full utilization of BHB’s production in line with Brahim’s brand name. Further, ANA is considering the opportunity to procure Japanese food, such as Japanese style curry produced by BHB, for supply on ANA’s Asian routes;

[Washoku means Japanese Cuisine]

(b) Halal kitchen at ANAC: ANAC is keen on collaborating with BHB, exclusively for concerned foreign carriers landing in Narita and Haneda airports in Japan, to supply Halal in-flight meals with the utilisation of ANAC’s existing facility in the early stage. As the business grows, both Parties will consider the establishment of a joint venture for the stage of expansion of the facility;

(c) Marketing of Brahim’s Products in Japan: BHB, via its affiliate Dewina Food Industries Sdn. Bhd. (“DFI”), is also in the business of producing a range of packaged ready-to-eat-meals of Asian cooking sauces and condiments which consist of selected herbs, spices and natural ingredients, including without limitation, Brahim's Malaysian Nyonya Sauce, Brahim's Spicy Tomato Sauce, and Brahim's chicken curry with potatoes (collectively known asBrahim’s Products and Sauces”). BHB, via DFI, is desirous to market and distribute its products in Japan through its branch in Japan, Brahim's Food Japan Co. Ltd., with the assistance of ANA Trading Co Ltd as the distributor in Japan;

(d) Supply of BHB Products to hotels in Japan: IHG-ANA, a joint venture between InterContinental Hotels Group and ANA, operates ANA InterContinental, ANA Crowne Plaza, and ANA Holiday Inn throughout Japan, and is keen on the procurement of Brahims Products and Sauces to be served to Muslim guests through Brahim’s Food Japan Co,. Ltd;

(e) Both parties need not activate their collaboration in all areas at the same time, such as, they may activate Clause 3(c) and (d) above as soon as possible; and

(f) In respect to the area of collaboration stated in Clause 3(a) and (b) above, both parties will have three (3) months of exclusivity (from the date of the Agreement) to mutually agreed upon and entered into more definitive and specific agreements relating to these areas for a term of five (5) years extendable by mutual agreement for another five (5) years, failing which, at the end of three (3) months, the exclusivity as it relates to both parties dealing only with each other or to the place (i.e. Narita and Haneda) will end.

For the avoidance of doubt, the areas of collaboration stated above are mutually independent as, if both parties do not finalise or consummate their collaboration in one area, it will not affect their collaboration in other areas.

The CA shall remain in effect for a period of one (1) year from the date of the CA unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provision of the CA.

4. RATIONALE

The objective of the CA is to form a strategic business alliance and business collaboration to explore ways and draw on the inherent synergies of the respective parties, i.e. BHB and ANA to gain new market share in Halal flight catering, increased distribution and positioning in the Asia Pacific region to tap the Halal food market in both Japan and Malaysia and other parts of Asia.

5. EFFECT OF THE CA

The CA is not expected to immediately have material effects on the earnings per share, net assets per share, gearing, share capital and substantial shareholders’ shareholding of BHB for the financial year ending 31 December 2014.

6. INTEREST OF MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND DIRECTORS

Save for Datuk Ibrahim bin Haji Ahmad, who is a major shareholder and the Executive Director of BHB, as well as a major shareholder and director of DFI, none of the other directors and/or major shareholders of BHB and/or persons connected to them have any interest, direct or indirect, in the CA.

7. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

The Board of Directors of BHB, having considered the rationale and terms of the CA, is of the opinion that the CA is in the best interest of the Company.

8. DOCUMENTS FOR INSPECTION

Ramlee, 50250 Kuala Lumpur during normal business hours on Mondays to Fridays (except Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays) for a period of three (3) months from the date of this announcement.
