The purpose of this Circular is to provide you with the relevant information of the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders' Mandate and to seek your approval on the ordinary resolution pertaining to the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders' Mandate to be tabled at the forthcoming 20th AGM, which will be held and conducted on a fully virtual basis through live streaming

Bhd. in Malaysia on Tuesday, 29 November 2022 at 10.30 a.m. or at any adjournment thereof. The notice of the 20th AGM together with the Form of Proxy is enclosed in the 2022 Annual Report.
