The authority to undertake the share buy-back shall lapse at the conclusion of the Twenty-First AGM of LTHB to be convened, unless the authority is renewed.

The Board therefore proposes to seek the renewal of the authority from the shareholders of LTHB for the Company to purchase and/or hold in aggregate such number of LTHB Shares representing up to ten per centum (10%) of the issued and paid-up share capital of LTHB through Bursa Securities, subject to the prevailing laws, rules, regulations, orders, guidelines and requirements.
