2. INFORMATION ON THE PROPOSED SHAREHOLDERS' MANDATE
2.1 Provisions under the Listing Requirements
Pursuant to Paragraph 10.09(2) and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Requirements, a listed issuer may seek a shareholders' mandate for RRPT subject to the following:
- the transactions are in the ordinary course of business and are on terms not more favourable to the related party than those generally available to the public;
- the shareholders' mandate is subject to annual renewal and disclosure is made in the 2023IAR of the aggregate value of transactions conducted pursuant to the shareholders' mandate during the financial year where the aggregate value is equal to or more than the threshold prescribed under Paragraph 10.09(1) of the Listing Requirements;
- the listed issuer's circular to shareholders for the shareholders' mandate includes the information as may be prescribed by Bursa Securities;
- in a meeting to obtain the shareholders' mandate, the Interested Directors, Interested Major Shareholders and where it involves the interest of an Interested Person Connected, such Director or Major Shareholder, must not vote on the resolution in respect of the RRPT. An Interested Director or Interested Major Shareholder must also ensure that Persons Connected with him abstain from voting on the resolution in respect of the RRPT; and
- the listed issuer immediately announces to Bursa Securities when the actual value of a RRPT entered into by the listed issuer or its subsidiaries, exceeds the estimated value of the RRPT disclosed in the circular by 10% or more and must include the information as may be prescribed by Bursa Securities in its announcement.
Transactions entered into between a listed issuer (or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries) and its wholly-owned subsidiary are excluded from complying with the requirements under Chapter 10 of the Listing Requirements.
Where a shareholders' mandate pursuant to Paragraph 10.09(2) of the Listing Requirements has been procured, the provisions of Paragraph 10.08 of the Listing Requirements will not apply.
The Proposed Shareholders' Mandate, if approved by the shareholders at the 47th AGM, shall continue to be in force until:
- the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company at which time it will lapse, unless the authority is renewed by a resolution passed at the next AGM;
- the expiration of the period within which the next AGM of the Company after that date is required to be held pursuant to Section 340(2) of the Act (but must not extend to such extension as may be allowed pursuant to Section 340(4) of the Act); or
- revoked or varied by resolution passed by the shareholders of the Company in a general meeting before the next AGM,
whichever is earlier.
KPS Berhad is proposing to seek its shareholders' approval for the Proposed Shareholders' Mandate pursuant to Paragraph 10.09 and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Requirements, to enable the Group to continue entering into the RRPT with the Related Parties.
