To: The Shareholders of Engtex Group Berhad
Dear Sir/Madam,
RENEWAL OF SHAREHOLDERS’ MANDATE FOR RECURRENT RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS OF A REVENUE OR TRADING NATURE.
1. INTRODUCTION
The Company had at the Twenty-Fourth AGM held on 22 May 2025 obtained approval from its shareholders for the Company and its subsidiaries to enter into recurrent related party transactions of a revenue or trading nature in the ordinary course of its business which are necessary for the day-to-day operations of the Group. Such approval shall continue to be in full force until the conclusion of the forthcoming Twenty-Fifth AGM unless authority for its renewal is obtained from the shareholders of the Company at the Twenty-Fifth AGM.
On 1 April 2026, the Company announced to Bursa Securities that the Board proposes to seek its shareholders’ approval on the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate for Recurrent Related Party Transactions of a Revenue or Trading Nature.
This Circular has been prepared to provide you with details of the Proposed Renewal Shareholders’ Mandate and to seek your approval for the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate as contained in the resolution to be tabled at the forthcoming Twenty-Fifth AGM.
2
2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF SHAREHOLDERS' MANDATE
2.1 Introduction
Paragraph 10.09 of Chapter 10 of the Listing Requirements stipulates that a listed issuer may seek shareholders’ mandate in respect of recurrent related party transactions of a revenue or trading nature which are necessary for the day-to-day operations of the listed issuer and its subsidiaries and are in the ordinary course of business and on terms not more favourable to the related party than those generally available to the public. Where a listed issuer has obtained such a mandate, the requirements of paragraph 10.08 of Chapter 10 of the Listing Requirements shall not apply to the recurrent related party transactions, which are comprised in the mandate. This means, during the period of validity of the mandate, the obligation to make immediate disclosure, as well as the obligation to procure shareholders’ approval shall not apply to the recurrent related party transactions, which are comprised in the mandate.
The Board therefore proposes to seek a renewal of the mandate from the shareholders of the Company to enable the Group to enter into recurrent related party transactions without the necessity of making the otherwise required announcement and approval.
The Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate will, if approved by the shareholders at the forthcoming Twenty-Fifth AGM, apply in respect of the Recurrent Transactions to be entered into as set out in Section 2.3 of this Circular and shall take effect from the date of the forthcoming Twenty-Fifth AGM, and shall continue to be in force until:-
-
i) the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company following the forthcoming Twenty-Fifth AGM at which the authorisation is obtained, at which time the said authority will lapse unless by ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or
-
ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held pursuant to Section 340(2) of the Act (but shall not extend to such extension as may be allowed pursuant to Section 340(4) of the Act); or
-
iii) revoked or varied by resolution passed by the shareholders in general meeting,
whichever occurs first.
Thereafter, approval from the shareholders for renewal of the mandate will be sought at each subsequent AGM of the Company.
2.2 The Proposed Renewal of Shareholders' Mandate
The Company is principally an investment holding company. The Group’s principal activities are broadly categorised into the following:-
-
Distribution and wholesale of PVF, plumbing materials, steel related products, general hardware products and construction materials;
-
Manufacturing and sale of steel and ductile iron PVF, manhole covers, hydrants, industrial casting products, welded wire mesh, hard-drawn wire and other steel related products;
3
-
Property development and investment activities;
-
Hospitality; and
-
Provision of solar solution.
It is anticipated that the Group would, in the ordinary course of business, enter into transactions with the Related Parties and that such transactions will occur with some degree of frequency and could arise at any time.
The Board is seeking the approval from the shareholders which will allow the Group, in the ordinary course of business, to enter into recurrent related party transactions of a revenue or trading nature with the Related Parties provided such transactions are made at arm’s length and on normal commercial terms of the Group and are on terms not more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of the minority shareholders.

2.4 Review Procedures for the Recurrent Transactions
There are procedures and guidelines established by the Group to ensure that the Recurrent Transactions are undertaken on an arm’s length basis and on the Group’s normal commercial terms and on transaction prices and on terms not more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of the minority shareholders.
The review and disclosure procedures shall include the following:
-
i) records of related party transactions will be maintained by the Group to capture all Recurrent Transactions which are entered into pursuant to the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate and will be made available to the external auditors and Audit Committee for their review;
-
ii) the Board and the Audit Committee shall have overall responsibility for the determination of the review procedures with authority to delegate to individuals or committees within the Group as they deem appropriate. The annual internal audit plan shall incorporate a review of Recurrent Transactions which will be entered into pursuant to the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate to ensure that relevant approvals have been obtained and review procedures in respect of such transactions are adhered to. The Audit Committee will review the internal audit report at least on a quarterly basis to ascertain that the guidelines and procedures established to monitor Recurrent Transactions have been complied with;
-
iii) terms of the recurrent transactions relating to the price or sales/distributions margins shall not be subject to the substantial change during the period that the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate is in force. Where such change is deemed necessary, the management shall review that the new terms are consistent with a transaction conducted at arms’ length and on normal commercial terms consistent with the Group’s usual business practices and policies and will not be prejudicial to the shareholders. The management shall also review that the new terms are not more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of the minority shareholders;
-
iv) at least 2 other contemporaneous transactions with unrelated third parties for similar products/services and/or quantities will be used as comparison, wherever possible, to determine whether the price and terms offered to/by the related parties are fair and reasonable and comparable to those offered to/by other unrelated third parties for the same or substantially similar type of products/services and/or quantities. In the event that quotation or comparative pricing from unrelated third parties cannot be obtained, the Company’s Management will rely on their usual business practice to ensure that the Recurrent Transactions is not detrimental to the Group;
-
v) further, where any director or person connected with him has an interest (direct or indirect) in any related party transactions, such director (or his alternate) shall abstain from voting on the matter. Where any member of the Audit Committee is interested in any transaction, that member shall abstain from voting on any matter relating to any decisions to be taken by the Audit Committee with respect to such transactions;
-
vi) there is no specific threshold for approval of Recurrent Transactions. All Recurrent Transactions are reviewed and monitored by 2 personnel of at least managerial level, the Chief Financial Officer or director, provided always that such personnel has no interest in the transaction and the said transaction has been approved pursuant to the shareholders’ mandate obtained at the AGM.
11
A listing of all Recurrent Transactions concluded will be tabled to the Audit Committee and noted/approved by the Board at least on a quarterly basis;
-
vii) disclosure will be made in the Company’s annual report on the breakdown of the aggregate value of transactions made pursuant to the shareholders’ mandate during the financial year and in the annual reports for the subsequent financial year during which a shareholders’ mandate is in force, based on the type of the transactions made and the relationships of Related Parties involved.
-
viii) any member of the Audit Committee may, as he deems fit, request for additional information pertaining to recurrent related party transactions from independent sources or advisers.
2.5 Audit Committee Statement
The Audit Committee has seen and reviewed the guidelines and procedures in Section 2.4 of this Circular and are of the view that the said guidelines and procedures are sufficient to ensure that the Recurrent Transactions are not more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of the minority shareholders.
The Audit Committee of the Company is also of the view that the Group has in place adequate procedures and processes to monitor, track and identify Recurrent Transactions in a timely and orderly manner. The Audit Committee‘s review of these procedures and processes will be conducted on a quarterly basis together with the review of quarterly results, or such frequency as the Audit Committee considers appropriate having regard to the value and the frequency of the Related Party Transactions.
3. RATIONALE OF THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF SHAREHOLDERS’ MANDATE
The Recurrent Transactions entered or to be entered into by the Group with the Related Parties are all in the ordinary course of business. They are recurrent transactions of a revenue or trading nature, which are likely to occur with some degree of frequency and arise at any time and from time to time. These transactions may be constrained by the time-sensitive nature and confidentiality of such transactions, and it may be impractical to seek shareholders’ approval on a case by case basis before entering into such related party transactions. Therefore, the Board is seeking an approval from the shareholders for the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate pursuant to Paragraph 10.09 of the Listing Requirements to allow the Group to enter into such Recurrent Transactions made on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms.
The obtaining of shareholders’ approval for the Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate and the renewal of such approval on an annual basis would eliminate the need to convene separate general meetings from time to time to seek shareholders’ approval and when potential Recurrent Transactions with the Related Parties arise, thereby reducing substantially administrative time, inconvenience and expenses in convening such meetings, without compromising the corporate objectives and adversely affecting the business opportunities available to the Group.
The Recurrent Transactions of a revenue or trading nature undertaken within the Group are mainly to support its day-to-day operations. The Related Parties are both good customers and reliable suppliers and the transaction prices are determined by way of negotiation in the ordinary course of business and upon normal commercial terms.
The Recurrent Transactions are expected to enhance the Group’s business operations via the established relationship between the Group and the Related Parties. Such relationship will also ensure that Engtex Group will continue to have support of procurement of goods and services of required quality and likewise, ensuring its products and services meet its customers’ requirements.
12
4. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF SHAREHOLDERS’ MANDATE
As the Recurrent Transactions are carried out in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms which are not more favourable to the Related Party than those generally available to the public, the effect of such transactions on the EPS and NA per share of Engtex Group and share capital in Engtex is not expected to be different from similar transactions with a non-related party. Accordingly, the Proposed Shareholders’ Mandate is not expected to have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital of Engtex and NA per share and EPS of the Engtex Group.
5. APPROVAL REQUIRED
The Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate is subject to the approval being obtained from the shareholders of Engtex at the forthcoming Twenty-Fifth AGM of the Company.

Ho Sin Kheong (Independent Non-Executive Director ) Dato’ Leanne Koh Li Ann (Independent Non-Executive Director )
To: The Shareholders of Engtex Group Berhad
Dear Sir/Madam,
PROPOSED RENEWAL OF SHARE BUY-BACK AUTHORITY
1. INTRODUCTION
The Company had at the Twenty-Fourth AGM held on 22 May 2025 obtained approval from its shareholders for the Company to purchase its own shares of up to ten per centum (10%) of the total number of issued shares up to 79,430,163 of Engtex Shares.
On 1 April 2026, Engtex announced to Bursa Securities that it proposes to seek its shareholders’ approval to renew the authority for the Company to purchase its own shares of up to ten per centum (10%) of the total number of issued shares of Engtex at the Twenty-Fifth AGM to be convened.
2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF SHARE BUY-BACK AUTHORITY
2.1 Introduction
The Directors propose to seek approval from the shareholders for the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority so that Directors can exercise the power of the Company to purchase its own Shares in circumstances which the Directors consider would be in the interest of the Company.
17
The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority shall be effective upon the passing of the ordinary resolution in relation thereto at the Twenty-Fifth AGM and will continue to be in force until:
-
(a) the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company following the forthcoming Twenty-Fifth AGM at which the authorisation is obtained, at which time the said authority will lapse unless by ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or
-
(b) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held pursuant to Section 340(2) of the Act (but shall not extend to such extension as may be allowed pursuant to Section 340(4) of the Act); or
-
(c) revoked or varied by ordinary resolution passed by the shareholders in general meeting,
whichever occurs first.
In accordance with Section 127(4) of the Act, the Purchased Shares may be dealt with by the Board of Directors in the following manner:-
-
(i) to cancel the Purchased Shares;
-
(ii) to retain the Purchased Shares as treasury shares; or
-
(iii) to retain part of the Purchased Shares as treasury shares and cancel the remainder;
Where such shares are held as treasury shares, the Board of Directors may:-
-
(i) distribute the shares as dividends to shareholders, such dividends to be known as “Share dividends”;
-
(ii) resell the shares on Bursa Securities on which the shares are quoted, in accordance with the relevant rules of Bursa Securities;
-
(iii) transfer the shares, or any of the shares for the purposes of or under an employees’ share scheme;
-
(iv) transfer the shares, or any of the shares as purchase consideration; or
-
(v) cancel the shares or any of the shares.
2.2 Source of Funds
The maximum amount of fund to be allocated for the purchase of Engtex Shares pursuant to the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority will not exceed the audited retained earnings of Engtex. As of 31 December 2025, the audited retained earnings of the Company was RM49,949,210.
The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority will be financed from internally generated funds and/or borrowings, the proportion of which will depend on the quantum of purchase consideration as well as the availability of the internally generated funds and bank borrowings at the time of purchase(s).
18
In the event the Company decides to utilise bank borrowings to finance the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority, it will ensure that it has sufficient financial capability to repay the bank borrowings and that the bank borrowings will not have a material impact on the cash flow of the Company.
2.3 Share Prices
The following table sets out the monthly highest and lowest transacted prices of the Company’s shares on Bursa Securities for the past Twelve (12) months from April 2025 to March 2026:
| Period | High(RM) | Low(RM) |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | ||
| April | 0.56 | 0.47 |
| May | 0.55 | 0.50 |
| June | 0.54 | 0.50 |
| July | 0.52 | 0.50 |
| August | 0.60 | 0.50 |
| September | 0.62 | 0.58 |
| October | 0.64 | 0.59 |
| November | 0.61 | 0.58 |
| December | 0.58 | 0.54 |
| 2026 | ||
| January | 0.58 | 0.49 |
| February | 0.56 | 0.49 |
| March | 0.55 | 0.51 |
(Source: WSJ)
The last transacted unit price per share of the Company on LPD was RM0.51.
The last transacted unit price per share of the Company on 31 March 2026 being the date prior to the announcement of the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority was RM0.51.
2.4 Public Shareholding Spread
As at LPD, the public shareholding spread of the Company was 52.18% in the hands of 3,903 public shareholders.
The Board is mindful that any purchase of Engtex Shares by the Company must not result in the public shareholding spread of Engtex falling below 25% of its total number of issued shares of Engtex.
2.5 Rationale and Risk Assessment
The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority is expected to potentially benefit the Company and its Shareholders as follows:-
- (i) the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority is expected to stabilise the supply and demand of Engtex Shares traded on Bursa Securities and thereby support its fundamental value;
19
-
(ii) in the event the Engtex Shares so purchased by the Company are cancelled, either immediately or subsequently after being held as treasury shares, it may enhance the EPS of Engtex and have a positive impact on the market price of Engtex Shares; and
-
(iii) if the Engtex Shares so purchased by the Company are held as treasury shares, the Company may have the opportunity to realise capital gains if these are resold on the Bursa Securities at a price higher than their purchase price. Alternatively, the Engtex Shares so purchased can be distributed as share dividends to reward shareholders.
The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority would temporarily reduce the financial resources of the Group, which may result in the Company having to forgo other feasible potential investment opportunities that may emerge in the future or, at the least, deprive the Company and the Group of interest income that can be derived from the funds utilised for the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority. The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority would also reduce the amount of resources available for distribution in the form of dividends to the shareholders of the Company.
On the other hand, the financial resources of the Group may potentially increase if the purchased Engtex Shares held as treasury shares are resold at prices higher than their purchase prices.
The Board will be mindful of the interests of the Company, the Group and the shareholders in implementing the Share Buy-Back and, it will be exercised only after in-depth consideration of the financial resources of the Group.
2.6 Potential Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposed Renewal of Share BuyBack Authority
The potential advantages of the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority to the Company and its shareholders are as follows:-
-
(i) allows the Company to take preventive measures against speculation, particularly when its shares are undervalued which would in turn, stabilise the market price of Engtex Shares and hence, enhance investors’ confidence;
-
(ii) allows the Company’s flexibility in attaining its desired capital structure, in terms of the debt and equity composition and the size of equity; and
-
(iii) if the treasury shares are distributed as dividends by the Company, it may then serve to reward the shareholders of the Company.
The potential disadvantages of the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority to the Company and its shareholders are as follows:-
-
(i) the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority will reduce the financial resources of the Group and may result in the Group foregoing better investment opportunities that may emerge in future; and
-
(ii) as the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority can only be made out of the retained profits of the Company, it may result in the reduction of financial resources available for distribution to shareholders in the immediate future.
20
Nevertheless, the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority is not expected to have any potential material disadvantage to the Company and the shareholders, as it will be implemented only after careful consideration of the financial resources of the Group and its resultant impact.
2.7 Purchases, Resale and Cancellation of Shares Made in the Previous Twelve (12) Months
During the previous 12 months from April 2025 to March 2026, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this Statement, Engtex had purchased 1,367,800 of its issued shares from open market for a total cash consideration of RM686,841. As at LPD 2,367,901 are being kept as treasury shares.
Details of the purchases during the previous twelve (12) months are as follows:
| Date | No of Shares Purchased |
Minimum Price |
Maximum Price |
Average Price |
Total Amount Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2025 | 1,367,800 | 0.50 | 0.50 | 0.50 | 686,841 |
| Total | 1,367,800 | 686,841 |
3. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF SHARE BUY-BACK AUTHORITY
Based on the assumption that the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority is carried out in full, the effect of the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority on the share capital, dividend, NA, EPS and working capital of Engtex are as set out below:
3.1 Share Capital
The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority will not have any effect on the total number of issued shares of the Company if all the shares purchased are retained as treasury shares.
In the event that the maximum number of shares authorised under the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority are purchased and cancelled, the issued and paid-up share capital will be as follows:
| Minimum Scenario(1) | Maximum Scenario(2) | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares | Number of Shares | |
| Existing issued share capital as at the LPD |
838,912,931* | 838,912,931* |
| Assuming full exercise of 127,795,488 outstanding Warrants |
- | 127,795,488 |
| Total number of issued Shares |
838,912,931 | 966,708,419 |
| Less: treasury shares as at LPD |
2,367,901 | 2,367,901 |
21
| Maximum number of Shares | 81,523,392 | 94,302,941 |
|---|---|---|
| that may be purchased |
||
| pursuant to the Proposed | ||
| Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority |
||
| Total number of issued share capital after cancellation of |
755,021,638 | 870,037,577 |
| Purchased Shares | ||
| Notes: |
-
The number of Engtex Shares stated is inclusive of 2,367,901 treasury shares currently held by the Company.
-
(1) Assuming none of the outstanding Warrants is exercised.
-
(2) Assuming all outstanding Warrants are exercised.
However, if all the Engtex Shares purchased are retained as treasury shares, the issued share capital of Engtex will not be reduced but the rights attached to the treasury shares as to voting, dividends and participation in other distribution or otherwise will be suspended. While these Engtex Shares remain as treasury shares, the Act prohibits the taking into account of such shares in calculating the number of percentage of shares in the Company for any purpose whatsoever including substantial shareholdings, takeovers, notices, requisitioning of meetings, quorum for meetings and the result of votes on resolutions.
3.2 Dividends
Assuming the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority is implemented in full and the dividend quantum is maintained at historical levels, the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority will have the effect of increasing the dividend rate of Engtex as a result of the reduction in the issued and paid-up share capital of Engtex as described under Section 3.1 above.
3.3 NA per Share and EPS
The NA per share of the Company and the Group may be increased or decreased, depending on the purchase prices of the shares to be bought back by the Company. Should the purchase prices exceed the existing NA per share, the NA of the remaining shares should decrease accordingly. And conversely, should the purchase price be lower than the existing NA per share, the resultant NA per share should increase accordingly. The effective reduction in the total number of issued shares of the Company pursuant to the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority would generally, all else being equal, increase the consolidated EPS of the Group.
3.4 Working Capital
Although the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority will reduce the working capital of the Company to the extent of the amount of funds utilised for the purchase of the Company's shares, it is not expected to have a material effect on the working capital of the Company.
4. CONDITION TO THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF SHARE BUY-BACK AUTHORITY
The Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority is subject to the approval of the Shareholders of Engtex at the forthcoming AGM.
22
5. IMPLICATIONS OF THE CODE
The implementation of the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority would not give rise to any implication under the Code. In the event that the number of Engtex Shares bought-back subsequent to the date of this Statement were to result in any major shareholder and/or parties acting in concert holding more than 33% of the voting shares of the Company pursuant to the Code, the affected major shareholder and/or parties acting in concert will be obliged to make a mandatory offer for the remaining Engtex shares not held by them collectively.
The Company shall endeavour to carry out the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back in such a manner as to ensure that it does not trigger any mandatory offer obligation under the Code for its major shareholder and/or parties acting in concert. However, in the event that the obligation to undertake a mandatory offer should arise with respect to any parties from the share buy-back exercise, the relevant parties shall make necessary application to the Securities Commission Malaysia for an exemption from undertaking the mandatory offer under the Code.
6. INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND PERSONS CONNECTED TO THEM
None of the Directors, major shareholders and persons connected to the Directors and major shareholders has any interest, whether direct or indirect, in the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority or the resale of treasury shares, if any.
7. SHAREHOLDINGS OF DIRECTORS AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS
Assuming the Company acquires the full amount of Engtex Shares authorised under the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back Authority and there is no change in the number of shares held by the Directors and/or major shareholders of Engtex as at LPD and with the assumption that the Company does not purchase the Directors' and/or major shareholders' shares, for the purpose of illustration only, the effect will be as follows:
