Unless otherwise stated, all abbreviations used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the offer document dated 28 November 2025 ("Offer Document").
We refer to the Offer Document which sets out the terms and conditions of the Offer, and the press notices dated 17 December 2025, 22 December 2025 and 30 December 2025.
We wish to announce that the Company had on 5 January 2026, received a press notice from UOBKH, on behalf of the Offeror and the Joint Ultimate Offerors, informing that the Offer has closed at 5.00 p.m. (Malaysian time) on Monday, 5 January 2026 ("Closing Date"). As at 5.00 p.m. (Malaysian time) on the Closing Date, the Offeror has received valid acceptances in respect of the Offer Shares resulting in the Offeror and the Joint Ultimate Offerors holding, together with such Shares that are already acquired, held or entitled to be acquired or held, 689,430,984 AHB Shares, representing 95.43% of the total issued shares of AHB.
As the Offeror and the Joint Ultimate Offerors hold not less than 90% of the total issued shares in AHB (including Shares that are already acquired, held or entitled to be acquired or held by the Offeror and the Joint Ultimate Offerors) and in view that the Offeror and the Joint Ultimate Offerors do not intend to maintain the listing status of AHB, Bursa Securities will suspend the trading in the AHB Shares commencing from Tuesday, 13 January 2026, being the expiry of 5 Market Days from the Closing Date (i.e. Monday, 5 January 2026). The Offeror and the Joint Ultimate Offerors will procure AHB to take the requisite steps to withdraw its listing status from the Official List, in accordance with paragraph 16.07 of the Listing Requirements.
Further, as mentioned in the press notice dated 30 December 2025 in relation to the Offer, the Offeror had received valid acceptances of not less than nine-tenths (9/10) in the nominal value of the Offer Shares (excluding shares already held by the Offeror, the Joint Ultimate Offerors and person(s) acting in concert with them as at the date of the Offer). As such, the Offeror and the Joint Ultimate Offerors will invoke the provisions of subsection 222(1) of the CMSA to compulsorily acquire any remaining Offer Shares from the Dissenting Holders for which acceptances have not been received. Accordingly, the Offeror will issue a compulsory acquisition notice under subsection 222(1) of the CMSA, which will be sent to all Dissenting Holders, within two (2) months from 30 December 2025.
In accordance with paragraph 13.01 of the Rules, the level of acceptances of the Offer as at 5.00 p.m. (Malaysian time) on Monday, 5 January 2026 is set out in the attached press release.
