The Board of Directors of Maxtral Industry Berhad ("Maxtral" or the "Company") wishes to inform that the Company had on 20 December 2013 submitted an application to Bursa Malaysia Berhad ("Bursa Securities") for an extension of time ("Application") to submit its Regularisation Plan to the Securities Commission or Bursa Securities (as the case may be). The Company was required to submit its Regularisation Plan on or before 22 December 2013.

The Company was further informed by Bursa Malaysia Berhad by its letter dated 23 December 2013 that the suspension on the trading of the Company's securities and de-listing of the Company in accordance with Paragraph 8.04(5) of the Main Market Listing Requirements shall be deferred pending decision on the Application.

On 19 February 2014, Bursa Malaysia Berhad informed the Company by letter that the Application, after due consideration of all facts and circumstances of the matter, was rejected. The Company was informed that the trading in the securities of the Company will remain suspended until further notice and the securities of the Company will be de-listed on 3 March 2014 unless an appeal against the de-lisitng is submitted to Bursa Malaysia Securities on or before 26 February 2014 ("the Appeal Timeframe"). Any appeal submitted after the Appeal Timeframe will not be considered by Bursa Securities.

In response to the above decline, the Company had on 26 February 2014 submitted an appeal to Bursa Securities ("Appeal") for the de-lisitng of the securities of Maxtral and its decision in declining the Company's Application for extension for time in submitting the Regularisation Plan.

On 11 April 2014, the Company received a reply from Bursa Securities. After due consideration of all facts and circumstances of the case including the written and oral representations of the Company and the following:-

- AmInvestment Bank Berhad had been appointed as the principal adviser for the Company's proposed regularisation plan on 17 March 2014; and
- Subsequent to the termination of the Company's earlier regularisation plan involving NEP Holdings (Malaysia) Berhad and Fenghua Construction Engineering Co Ltd in January and March 2014 respectively, the Company had managed to secure a new white knight i.e. Bountiful Returns Sdn Bhd ("Bountiful") and had received conditional letters of offers dated 201 March 2014 from Bountiful for the supply of timber logs and leasing of a factory.

Bursa Securities has decided to grant Maxtral an extension of time until 31 July 2014 as requested to submit the Regularisation Plan to the relevant authorities for approval ("the Extended Timeframe").

Bursa Securities further decided to de-list the securities of the Company from the Official List of Bursa Securities pursuant to paragraph 8.04 of the Main Market Listing Requirement in the event:-

(i) the Company fails to submit the Regularisation Plan to the relevant authorities for approval within the Extended Timeframe;

(ii) the Company fails to obtain the approval for the implementation of its Regularisation Plan and does not appeal within the timeframe (or extended timeframe, as the case may be) prescribed to lodge an appeal;

(iii) the Company does not succeed in its appeal; or

(iv) the Company fails to implement it Regularisation Plan within the timeframe or extended timeframe stipulated by the relevant authorities.

Upon occurrence of any of the events set out in (i) to (iv) above, the securities of the Company shall be removed from the Official List of Bursa Securities upon the expiry of two (2) market days from the date the Company is notified by Bursa Securities or such other date may be specified by Bursa Securities.

In arriving at the aforesaid decision to de-list the Company upon occurrence of any of the events set out in (i) to (iv), Bursa Securities had considered, amongst others the following factors:-

(1) Maxtral had failed to regularise the Company's financial condition in accordance with paragraph 8.04 of the Main Market Listing Requirements and PN17;

(2) The Company had started making losses since financial year ended 31 December 2010 and the financial results of Maxtral for the past three (3) financial years ended ("FYE") 31 December 2010 to 31 December 2012 and the Company's latest quarterly report for the financial period ended 31 December 2014 (4th Quarter 2013) as follows:

(3) All PN17 companies are required to regularise their financial condition and level of operations expeditiously within the timeframes prescribed in paragraph 8.04 of the Main Market Listing Requirements and PN17 or extended timeframe as may be granted by Bursa Securities;

(4) The requirement for companies to have an adequate level of financial condition and level of operations serves to ensure that companies listed on the Official List are of a certain minimum quality. Companies that have a minimum level financial condition and level of operations serve to preserve and sustain market integrity and investors' confidence; and

(5) In the opinion of Bursa Securities, adequate time and opportunity had been accorded to Maxtral to regularise the Company's financial condition since Maxtral's First Announcement on 21 December 2012.

This announcement is dated 4 July 2014.
