BURSA ANNOUNCEMENTS

Contents :

Further to the letter of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange dated 2 November 2000, on behalf of the Board of Directors of Ekran, we wish to announce the following:

1. The delay in the finalisation of assets with a value of RM200 million for injection into Ekran by Tan Sri Ting was due to Tan Sri Ting not being able to dispose of his private investments for at least RM200 million to the original interested buyer.

The finalisation of assets with a value of RM200 million for injection into Ekran very much depends on the sale of Tan Sri Ting’s private investments as the proceeds therefrom would be utilised to settle the purchase consideration for the injection of assets into Ekran. Tan Sri Ting is now in negotiations with another party for the disposal of his private investments.

(i) Initial Cash Payment of RM50 million due on 31 July 2000

The initial cash payment of RM50 million due on 31 July 2000 has yet to be made. The Board of Directors of Ekran had passed a resolution on 21 August 2000 to grant Tan Sri Ting an extension of time until 30 September 2000 to make the aforesaid cash payment following Tan Sri Ting’s request on 25 July 2000 for more time to raise the money. Nevertheless, the cash payment is still outstanding and the said extension has since lapsed.


Tan Sri Ting has verbally informed the Board of Directors of Ekran that payment would be made within four (4) weeks from 6 November 2000.

(ii) Payment of RM37.632 million from the proposed sale of Tan Sri Ting’s 32% equity interest in PWE Industries Berhad to Global Upline Sdn Bhd (“Global Upline”)

Global Upline has requested for an extension to complete the proposed sale from 28 September 2000 to 31 January 2001. Global Upline and Tan Sri Ting are expected to sign a supplemental agreement to effect the said extension within the next week.

(iii) Payment of RM45 million from the proposed sale of Tan Sri Ting’s equity interest in Amal Bakti Sdn Bhd (“AASB”) to Kuala Lumpur City Corporation Berhad (“KLCCB”)

The proposed acquisition of AASB by KLCCB is pending the approval of the Ministry of Finance and KLCCB’s shareholders. The Foreign Investment Committee and the Securities Commission had approved the proposed acquisition of AASB on 8 September 2000 and 29 September 2000 respectively.

(iv) Set-off of RM230.6 million in respect of the proposed acquisition by Ekran of 60% equity interest in Langkasuka Marina Development Sdn Bhd (“LMD”)

The set-off of the purchase consideration for the proposed acquisition of LMD is pending the approval by the Securities Commission for the proposed revised utilisation of proceeds from the rights issue, an application for which will be made by 31 January 2001, and the approval by the Foreign Investment Committee for the proposed acquisition of LMD.

(v) The remaining cash payment of RM149.707 million is only payable beginning from 31 March 2001.
