The Board of Directors of FIHB wishes to announce that the Company is proposing to seek for the approval of its shareholders on the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders' Mandate and Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority at the forthcoming Forty-Second Annual General Meeting ("42nd AGM") of the Company to be convened at a date to be notified later.

The Proposed Renewal of Shareholders' Mandate is to allow the Company and/or its subsidiaries to enter into RRPT of a revenue or trading nature which are necessary for its day-to-day operations. The Company had, at its Forty-First Annual General Meeting ("41st AGM") held on 19 December 2024, obtained the shareholders’ mandate for the Company and/or its subsidiaries to enter into RRPT of a revenue or trading nature. The aforesaid mandate shall lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming 42nd AGM of the Company.

The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority is to renew the authority granted by the shareholders of the Company at the 41st AGM held on 19 December 2024. The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority will allow the Company to purchase its own shares of up to ten per centum (10%) of the total number of issued shares of the Company in accordance with Section 127 of the Companies Act 2016.

A Circular/Statement to Shareholders containing the details in relation to the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders' Mandate and Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority of the Company will be uploaded onto the Company's corporate website at www.fihb.my in due course, and upon request, despatched to the shareholders in due course.
