PROPOSED EXPANSION PLAN AT TROPICANA MEDICAL CENTRE, KOTA DAMANSARA

1. INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors of TMC Life Sciences Berhad (“TMC” or “Company”) wishes to announce that the Group plans to expand the facilities at its flagship hospital, Tropicana Medical Centre at Kota Damansara (“Proposed Expansion Plan”).

2. PROPOSED EXPANSION PLAN

Tropicana Medical Centre is currently operating at its premises erected on the 6 acres of land owned by Tropicana Medical Centre (M) Sdn Bhd (a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMC) located at Kota Damansara. The 6 acres of land can be converted to a maximum gross floor area (“GFA”) of approximately 1.1 million square feet (“sf”). To-date, only about 21% of the maximum GFA has been utilized and occupied by the current Tropicana Medical Centre.

Demand for the medical services of Tropicana Medical Centre remains strong and it is now undertaking the renovations to increase its inpatient bed capacity by another 51 beds. When these renovations are completed, Tropicana Medical Centre will then have 190 inpatient beds. With the continuous strong demand for quality healthcare, the Group plans to expand Tropicana Medical Centre to become one of the largest integrated healthcare campus in the Klang Valley.

The first phase of the Proposed Expansion Plan, subject to regulatory approval, which would involve the construction of a new block of building on 2.4 acres of the land, to house another 180 inpatient beds, 128,000 sf of specialist outpatient clinics, 5 additional operating theatres and 170,000 sf of commercial/retail space. The commercial/retail space will focus on offering healthcare products and services that patients will need. (“First Phase Proposed Expansion”)

When the First Phase Proposed Expansion is completed, Tropicana Medical Centre will have 410 inpatient beds (includes additional 40 beds to be installed at existing building after relocation of certain facilities to the new building), 10 operating theatres and some 140,000 sf of space dedicated to outpatient services, offering comprehensive tertiary healthcare services, including one of the largest private IVF centres in South East Asia.

After the completion of the First Phase Proposed Expansion, there would be subsequent phase to expand on the balance of the land. It is envisaged that, when the expansion plans on the whole 6 acres of land are fully completed, the entire integrated healthcare campus will host 550 acute hospital beds and another 100 long- stay beds or service apartments to serve patients families and patients who need some form of care post-discharge from the acute general hospital. Specialist outpatient clinics or suites will occupy a total floor area of 300,000 to 400,000 sf. The entire integrated healthcare campus will serve not just patients from the Klang Valley, but also patients from the whole Malaysia and the region.

The Group intends to look at expansion beyond the planned integrated healthcare campus at Kota Damansara.

3. FIRST PHASE PROPOSED EXPANSION COST AND MODE OF FINANCING

The total cost for the First Phase Proposed Expansion is expected to be in the region of RM250 million to RM300 million, which includes the construction on the new building and other capital expenditure on equipment and fittings.

The Group intends to finance the First Phase Proposed Expansion via existing cash and bank balances and surplus of cash from existing operations. The cash and bank balances stood at RM190.8 million as at 31 December 2014, after the conversion of 397.1 million warrants which netted the conversion proceeds of RM158.9 million. The warrants had since expired on 22 December 2014.

4. TIME FRAME FOR THE FIRST PHASE PROPOSED EXPANSION

The First Phase Proposed Expansion is expected to commence in the first half of 2016 and it will take approximately 4 years to complete.

5. EFFECTS OF THE FIRST PHASE PROPOSED EXPANSION

5.1 Share Capital and Substantial Shareholder’s Shareholding

The financing for the First Phase Proposed Expansion does not involve any issuance of new shares in the Company and therefore will not have any effect on the share capital and substantial shareholder’s shareholding.

5.2 Earnings and Earnings Per Share

The First Phase Proposed Expansion is not expected to have a material impact on the earnings or earnings per share of TMC for the financial year ending 31 May 2015. However, it is expected to enhance the earnings of the Group in the future years.

5.3 Gearing

As the First Phase Proposed Expansion is to be funded entirely from existing cash and bank balances and surplus funds to be generated from the existing operation, there would be no impact to total gearing of the Group.

6. DIRECTORS' AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS' INTEREST

None of the Directors and/or major shareholders of TMC and/or persons connected to them, has any interest, direct or indirect, in the First Phase Proposed Expansion.

7. STATEMENT BY THE DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of TMC, having taken into consideration all aspects of the Proposed Expansion, is of the opinion that the Proposed Expansion would be in the best interest of TMC Group.

8. APPROVALS REQUIRED

The Proposed Expansion is not subject to the approval of the shareholders.

A press release in relation to the above proposed expansion plan is attached for information.

This announcement is dated 14 January 2015.
