On behalf of the Board of Directors of WMSC (“ Board ”), Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad (“ Kenanga IB ”) wishes to announce the following:

  • (i) the Company had on 1 April 2026 entered into the following:

  • (a) a conditional share purchase agreement with Elixir II Pte. Ltd. (“ Elixir II ” or “ Purchaser ”) for the proposed disposal of its 25% equity interest in Willowglen (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (“ WMSB ") (“ SPA 1 ”) for a cash consideration of RM10.0 million (“ WMSB Disposal Consideration ”) (“ Proposed WMSB Disposal ”);

    • a. a call option by WMSC to Elixir II to require WMSC to sell the remaining 75% equity interest in WMSB (“ Call Option ”); and

    • b. a put option by Elixir II to WMSC to require Elixir II to acquire the remaining 75% equity interest in WMSB (“ Put Option ”),

both at an exercise price of RM30.0 million (“ Exercise Price ”) to be satisfied entirely in cash (“ Proposed Call and Put Option ”);

  • (c) a conditional share purchase agreement with Elixir I Pte. Ltd. (“ Elixir I ”) and Elixir II for the proposed disposal of its 100% equity interest in Willowglen Services Pte. Ltd. (“ WSPL ”) (“ SPA 2 ”) for a consideration of RM175.2 million (“ WSPL Disposal Consideration ”) to be satisfied via a combination of cash of RM72.0 million and issuance of new ordinary shares in Elixir II of RM103.2 million (“ Consideration Shares ”) (“ Proposed WSPL Disposal ”).

The Proposed WMSB Disposal and the Proposed WSPL Disposal shall collectively be referred to as “ Proposed Disposals ”.

The SPA 1 and SPA 2 shall collectively be referred to as the “ SPAs ”.

1

  • (ii) the Company proposes to provide financial assistance to Elixir II, which will be an associated company of the Company upon completion of the Proposed Disposals, by granting a share charge in favour of a financial institution over the entire Consideration Shares amounting to RM103.2 million to be received by the Company pursuant to SPA 2 for the purpose of partly satisfying the cash consideration payable by Elixir II to WMSC under the SPAs and Option Agreement;

As the estimated total quantum of the Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance exceeds 5% of the consolidated net tangible asset of WMSC and its subsidiaries (“ WMSC Group ” or “ Group ”) amounting to RM171.93 million based on the Group’s latest audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December (“ FYE ”) 2024, the Company proposes to seek its shareholders’ approval in a general meeting for the Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance pursuant to subaragraph 8.23(2)(c) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“ Bursa Securities ”) (“ Listing Requirements ”); and

  • (iii) pursuant to the post-closing obligation as set out in SPA 2, the Company proposes to change its name from Willowglen MSC Berhad to Willownex Berhad.

The Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option are deemed a major disposal by the Company pursuant to subparagraph 10.02(eA) of the Listing Requirements as it involves the disposal of substantially all of its assets which may result in the Company being no longer suitable for continued listing on the Official List of Bursa Securities.

In addition, as the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option involve a disposal of the Group’s major business, upon completion of the Proposed Disposals, Bursa Securities may classify the Company as an “Affected Listed Issuer” under subparagraph 8.03A of the Listing Requirements (“ Affected Listed Issuer ”).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option will not result in the Company being classified as a cash company under the Listing Requirements.

In view of the above, the Company had on 26 March 2026 appointed cfSolutions Sdn. Bhd. (“ cfSolutions ”) to act as the Independent Adviser to undertake the following in relation to the Proposed Disposals:

  • (i) comment as to whether the terms of Proposed Disposals, Proposed Call and Put Option and Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance are fair and reasonable in so far as the shareholders are concerned, including the reasons for the key assumptions made and the factors taken into consideration in forming that opinion; and

  • (ii) advise the shareholders of the Company whether they should vote in favour of the Proposed Disposals, Proposed Call and Put Option and Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance.

In addition, in accordance with Paragraph 4 of Part F of Appendix 10B of the Listing Requirements, cfSolutions has also been appointed as the independent expert to provide its opinion on the fairness of the Consideration Shares to be received pursuant to the Proposed WSPL Disposal.

2.9 Liabilities to be assumed by WMSC

Save as disclosed below, there are no other liabilities, including contingent liabilities and/or guarantees to be assumed by WMSC:

  • (i) the Zero Loss Guarantee in respect of WMSB;

11

2.10 Listing and quotation of the Consideration Shares

The Consideration Shares to be issued to WMSC will not be listed on any stock exchange.

3. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED PROVISION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Upon completion of the Proposed WSPL Disposal, WMSC will grant a share charge in favour of a financial institution over all the Consideration Shares of RM103.2 million to be received by WMSC. Elixir I will, together with WMSC, grant a share charge over its shares in Elixir II, to enable Elixir II to obtain banking facilities of up to SGD35 million to partly satisfy the cash consideration payable under the SPAs and Option Agreement.

The Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance is an integral component of the overall transaction structure at current agreed valuation, whereby without it, Proposed Disposals may not proceed or may only be achieved at a lower value.

As the estimated value of the Consideration Shares to be charged of RM103.2 million exceeds 5% of the WMSC Group’s net tangible assets as at 31 December 2024, the Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance requires shareholders’ approval pursuant to Paragraph 8.23(2)(c) of the Listing Requirements.

The share charge will remain in effect until Elixir II has fully settled the banking facility, after which the Consideration Shares will be released to WMSC free of encumbrances.

4. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME

The Company proposes to change its name from Willowglen MSC Berhad to Willownex Berhad. Pursuant to the post-closing obligation as set out in SPA 2, the Proposed Change of Name is a requirement under the SPA 2 and, if approved by the shareholders, will be effective from the date of issuance of the Notice of Registration of New Name by the Companies Commission of Malaysia (“ CCM ”).

5. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSALS

5.1 Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option

The Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option represents an integration of the complementary capabilities of the WMSC Group and Excel Marco Group across the industrial automation value chain. WMSC Group is principally engaged in the research, development and supply of computer-based control systems and focuses on among others, Integrated Supervisory Control System (“ ISCS ”), Security Screening System (“ SSS ”) and Integrated Monitoring System (“ IMS ”) for water, wastewater and infrastructure applications, while Excel Marco Group specialises in designing and implementing Process Control & Process Safety System, Automation and Control System, Digital & IIoT and Operational Technology (OT) Cyber Security for sectors such as oil & gas, marine, and manufacturing, supported by an experienced management team and a skilled technical workforce. The combination enables the enlarged group to deliver a full suite of solutions, from front-end engineering design and instrumentation to control systems, software integration and lifecycle maintenance, strengthening execution capability across both infrastructure and industrial projects.

After the completion of the Proposed Disposals, the Company will hold a meaningful interest of up to 37.8% of the enlarged Elixir II Group. The enlarged group is expected to benefit from an expanded client base across Malaysia, Singapore and the region, enhancing its ability to secure larger and more complex contracts. The combination also enhances technical depth and project delivery capacity, positioning the enlarged Elixir II Group to better meet evolving client requirements and to compete more effectively for long-term infrastructure and industrial automation opportunities. Please refer to the prospects of Elixir II as set out in Section 6.5 of this announcement.

In addition, through the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option, the Company is expected to realise a net disposal gain of approximately RM145.2 million (as set out in Section 10 of this announcement) and receive immediate cash proceeds of RM112.0 million while retaining a significant minority equity interest in the enlarged Elixir II Group through the Consideration Shares, thereby allowing the Company and its shareholders to continue participating in the future growth, earnings and value creation of the combined entities.

The cash proceeds will provide the Company with capital to pursue its growth strategy, to be deployed towards the acquisition of new businesses to be identified, as set out in Section 7 of this announcement. In addition, shareholders may also receive a direct return of capital, as a portion of the proceeds is earmarked for a dividend of 5 sen per WMSC share, which is expected to be paid within 2 months from the completion of the Proposed Disposals, subject to compliance with applicable requirements.

After considering the commercial and financial implications of the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option, the Board is of the view that the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

5.2 Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance

The Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance, which entails the granting of a share charge in favour of the financial institution over the Consideration Shares to be issued to WMSC. Elixir I will, together with WMSC, grant a share charge over its shares in Elixir II, to enable Elixir II to obtain banking facilities of up to SGD35 million to partly satisfy the cash consideration payable under the SPAs and Option Agreement.

The Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance is an integral component of the overall transaction structure at current agreed valuation, whereby without it, Proposed Disposals may not proceed or may only be achieved at a lower value.

13

Notwithstanding the share charge to be granted by the Company in favour of a financial institution, it should be noted that:

  • (i) the Company’s economic interest and participation in the enlarged Elixir II Group’s future performance remain preserved;

  • (ii) the Company will continue to benefit from protections, including board representation and reserved matters under the SHA, allowing oversight of Elixir II’s financial and operational position;

  • (iii) the gearing level of the enlarged Elixir II Group is reasonable, mitigating enforcement risk on the charged shares; and

  • (iv) the Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance does not constitute a disproportionate support by the Company. Both the Company and Elixir I will charge all the Elixir II shares held by them, ensuring equitable treatment among shareholders.

The Board has carefully evaluated the commercial and transactional context of the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option, and is of the view that the Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance is fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

5.3 Proposed Change of Name

The Proposed Change of Name is to satisfy the requirement under the terms of the SPA 2. In addition, the Proposed Change of Name will enable the Company to have a new corporate identity to better reflect its future new core business and undertakings after the Proposed Disposals.

6. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND PROSPECTS

6.1 Overview and outlook of the Malaysia economy

Global economic growth is expected to continue growing at a more moderate pace in 2026 (2.7%– 3.2%; 2025: 3.4%), supported by resilient domestic demand including robust investment in technology and digitalisation, particularly artificial intelligence. The prevailing monetary policy condition and fiscal support are expected to provide an additional lift to economic activity. Nonetheless, global growth is expected to face ongoing headwinds from the impact of higher tariffs, the uncertainty surrounding them, as well as heightened geopolitical conflict in the Middle East.

(Source: Economic and Monetary Review 2025, Ministry of Finance Malaysia)

The Malaysian economy advanced by 6.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025 (3Q 2025: 5.4%), driven mainly by domestic demand. Growth in household spending was higher, driven by positive labour market conditions and income-related policy support. The strong investment growth was underpinned by stronger machinery and equipment spending, particularly for data centres, and ongoing implementation of multi-year projects by both the private and public sectors. In the external sector, exports continued to strengthen, led mainly by stronger exports of electrical and electronics (“ E&E ”) goods. Inbound tourism and information and communication technology (“ ICT ”)-related services also contributed to services exports growth and surplus in the current account balance. Meanwhile, imports remained strong driven by the rebound in intermediate goods to support economic activity and productive capital-related goods reflecting the realisation of ongoing investment projects.

14

On the supply side, growth was mainly accounted for by the expansion in the services and manufacturing sectors. Higher growth in the services sector was mainly driven by consumerrelated subsectors, government services as well as ICT subsector following the operationalisation of data centres. In the manufacturing sector, performance was driven by stronger production in the E&E sub-sector induced by higher demand from the global technology expansion, alongside the increased output of consumer-related goods. Meanwhile, the agriculture sector strengthened, reflecting higher growth for palm oil amid less severe floods compared to last year. On a quarter-on-quarter, seasonally-adjusted basis, growth expanded by 0.8% (3Q 2025: 2.7%).

Headline inflation remained stable at 1.3% (3Q 2025: 1.3%) while core inflation increased to 2.3% (3Q 2025: 2%). The increase was mainly driven by faster price increases in certain core items (e.g. jewellery and watches) and base effects from mobile communication services inflation. This was largely offset by lower prices for selected administered items, particularly for electricity (-10.3%; 3Q 2025: -4.6%) and petrol (-2%; 3Q 2025: -0.6%), in line with larger discounts related to electricity generation costs during the quarter and the targeted RON95 fuel subsidy implemented beginning October 2025. Inflation pervasiveness, measured by the share of consumer price index (“ CPI ”) items registering monthly price increases, declined to 39.6% during the quarter (3Q 2025: 43.8%), remaining below the historical fourth-quarter average of 41.7%. In line with previous expectations, headline and core inflation in 2025 averaged at 1.4% and 2%, respectively (2024: headline and core inflation both averaged at 1.8%).

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the ringgit’s nominal effective exchange rate (“ NEER ”) appreciated by 3.8% against currencies of Malaysia’s major trading partners. The ringgit appreciated by 3.9% against the United States dollar (“ USD ”). These movements were driven by both external and domestic factors. On the external front, the narrowing of interest rate differentials following the US Federal Reserve’s policy rate cuts in October and December has supported the ringgit during the quarter. In addition, the ringgit’s appreciation was driven by lower tariff-related uncertainties as the US concluded trade agreements with several of its trading partners in the region, including Malaysia. Domestically, Malaysia’s positive economic prospects, underpinned by reform efforts, have continued to reinforce investor confidence and improved overall sentiment in domestic financial markets.

For 2025, the ringgit appreciated by 10.2% against the USD while the ringgit’s NEER appreciation was at 6.3%. Moving forward, movements in the ringgit will continue to be influenced by external factors. Nonetheless, resilient domestic fundamentals are expected to provide enduring support to the ringgit. Furthermore, the coordinated efforts by the Government and Bank Negara Malaysia (“ BNM ”) will continue to encourage healthy two-way flows in the domestic financial markets. These ongoing efforts include the Qualified Resident Investor programme that offers resident corporates the flexibility to reinvest abroad, and proactive engagements with investors, exporters, and importers. BNM will also continue to ensure the orderly functioning of the domestic foreign exchange market.

Credit growth to the private non-financial sector moderated to 5.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025 (3Q 2025: 6%) following slower expansion in outstanding loans (5%; 3Q 2025: 5.6%) and corporate bonds (6.9%; 3Q 2025: 7.3%). Growth in business loans moderated to 3.9% (3Q 2025: 5.5%), mainly reflecting slower loan growth for working capital purposes among SMEs (4.3%; 3Q 2025: 6%). Business loan growth for investment-related purposes also eased but remained above its long-term average. On a quarterly basis, loan disbursements expanded across SMEs and non-SMEs (RM393.5 billion; 3Q 2025: RM376.9 billion). For households, loan growth remained stable at 5.6% (3Q 2025: 5.7%), with sustained loan growth across most purposes.

6.2 Overview and outlook of the Singapore economy

Economic activity in Singapore’s major trading partners remained resilient in the last quarter of 2025, buoyed by the Artificial Intelligence (“ AI ”)-related investment boom and reduction in trade policy uncertainty. This year, global growth is expected to ease modestly, as the lagged effects of higher tariffs weigh on final demand and trade. Nevertheless, the extent of the global economic moderation could be mitigated by supportive fiscal and monetary policies. In the near term, the global AI capex upcycle should also continue apace, and provide strong support for economies plugged into the electronics supply chain.

In line with the global economic backdrop, advance estimates from Ministry of Trade & Industry (“ MTI ”) show that the Singapore economy grew by 1.9% on a quarter-on-quarter seasonallyadjusted basis in Q4 2025, following the 2.4% expansion in the preceding quarter. Growth came in stronger than projected, largely due to robust performance of the manufacturing and services segments that are closely tied to the global technology cycle.

In the near term, Singapore’s gross domestic product (“ GDP ”) growth should be resilient, although uncertainties to the outlook remain. The expansion in the trade-related sectors is likely to be underpinned by continuing near-term strength in the global AI-driven capex cycle. Growth in non-technology-related segments is also forecast to be firm: financial services should be supported by steady lending and capital market activity, while the construction sector will benefit from a continuing pipeline of public and private projects. For the full year, GDP growth is expected to ease relative to the stronger outturn in 2025, with the positive output gap projected to narrow over the course of the year.

Monetary Authority of Singapore (“ MAS ”) core inflation rose to 1.2% year-on-year (“ y-o-y ”) in Q4 2025, from 0.4% in the preceding quarter. The step-up in inflation partly reflected increases in the cost of private health insurance and holiday expenses, as well as the dissipation of base effects associated with enhanced subsidies. Beyond these temporary factors, inflation momentum also picked up from low levels across most core goods and services, in line with an uptick in regional prices and domestic wage increases. For 2025 as a whole, MAS core inflation came in at 0.7%, considerably lower than 2.8% in 2024.

Core inflation is expected to increase modestly in the near term. This will reflect a pick-up in services unit labour costs growth from its subdued pace earlier in 2025. At the same time, the recent rise in services productivity could be sustained, dampening the extent of cost increases. Meanwhile, imported inflation should remain contained. Global oil and food commodity prices are projected to decline this year, albeit at a progressively slower pace over the quarters. Regional consumer price inflation is forecast to only edge up, as subdued producer prices in Asia continue to dampen cost pressures.

The forecasts for MAS core inflation and CPI-All Items inflation for 2026 have both been raised to 1.0–2.0%, from 0.5–1.5% in the October 2025 Monetary Policy Statement. On average over 2026, core inflation momentum is expected to come in at a pace that is slightly below trend. CPI-All Items inflation would additionally reflect subdued accommodation costs with the continued passthrough of weaker housing rental growth of the past year.

The risks to the growth and inflation outlook are tilted to the upside at this point. Persistently stronger-than-expected GDP growth could lead to higher wage growth and boost consumer sentiment, exacerbating demand-pull inflationary pressures. Supply shocks, including those triggered by geopolitical developments, risk lifting imported costs. Nevertheless, some downside risks are also present, reflecting underlying fragilities in the global economy. For instance, a sharp correction in global financial markets or an abrupt pullback in global AI-related investment would induce a faster pace of easing in growth and consequently lower inflation.

MAS had kept the NEER policy band on an appreciating slope in July and October last year. Following the strong performance in 2025, growth this year is expected to remain resilient and the output gap positive for the year as a whole. After a period of weakness, underlying price pressures are returning closer to trend. MAS core inflation is projected to normalise in 2026 and average 1.0–2.0%.

16

MAS will therefore maintain the prevailing rate of appreciation of the NEER policy band. There will be no change to its width and the level at which it is centred. MAS is in an appropriate position to respond effectively to any risk to medium-term price stability and will continue to closely monitor economic developments amid uncertainties in the external environment.

6.3 Overview and outlook of information and communication industry in Malaysia

The information and communication subsector is expected to grow 4.3%, mainly driven by expansion in AI technologies, data centre and cloud computing capacities as well as continued government support through comprehensive digital policies and infrastructure upgrades. In addition, the subsector will be fuelled by higher social commerce activities via various social platforms as well as subscriptions of over-the-top (OTT) media services for e-sports and entertainment. Major sporting events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup, BWF Thomas & Uber Cup 2026 and the 2026 Commonwealth Games will increase the number of subscribers, further boosting the subsector.

6.4 Overview and outlook of engineering industry in Singapore

Singapore’s manufacturing and trade activity was underpinned by strong outturns in the biomedical and electronics industries in Q4 2025, Growth of the Index of Industrial Production accelerated to 19% y-o-y in Q4, with the biomedical cluster surging by 46% y-o-y, on account of higher production of active pharmaceutical ingredients. This uptick in production took place alongside an increase in domestic exports of pharmaceuticals in Q4, largely to the United States and Belgium. Meanwhile, the electronics cluster expanded by 25% y-o-y in Q4, with the strength in the information communication and consumer electronics segment driven by higher output of server-related products, as demand for AI-related infrastructure by data centre hyperscalers continued to increase. Concomitantly, DX for server-related products saw an uptick in Q4, driven by higher volumes across existing export markets, as well as some new ones. At the same time, production in the semiconductors segment grew by 21%, in part supported by AIrelated demand. Meanwhile, chipmakers serving the automotive and industrial end markets also saw higher production volumes amid easing inventory overhangs.

6.5 Prospects of Elixir II

The Excel Marco Group, being wholly-owned by Elixir II, was established in February 2000 and has a track record of more than 25 years in the industrial automation and engineering solutions industry. Excel Marco Group specialises in designing and implementing Process Control & Process Safety System, Automation and Control System, Digital & IIoT and Operational Technology (OT) Cyber Security for sectors such as oil & gas, marine, and manufacturing, supported by an experienced management team and a skilled technical workforce. The inhouse capability complements the Target Companies’ core expertise in Integrated Supervisory Control Systems, Security Screening System and Integrated Monitoring System, creating a strong synergy for the enlarged group. By combining Excel Marco Group’s engineering and automation strengths with the Target Companies’ software and system integration capabilities, the enlarged group will be able to offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions.

Elixir II’s expansion plans, strategies and steps to be taken in relation to its involvement in Target Companies’ business upon the completion of the Proposed Disposals include continuing to tender new projects to enhance the enlarged group’s order book by leveraging on the combined experience and capabilities.

17

After the completion of the Proposed Disposals, the Company will hold a meaningful interest of up to 37.8% of the enlarged Elixir II Group. The enlarged group is expected to benefit from an expanded client base across Malaysia, Singapore and the region, enhancing its ability to secure larger and more complex contracts. The combination also enhances technical depth and project delivery capacity, positioning the enlarged Elixir II Group to better meet evolving client requirements and to compete more effectively for long-term infrastructure and industrial automation opportunities.

7. UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS

As set out in Section 2.6 of this announcement, the Proposed Disposals (after the exercise of the Call Option or Put Option) is expected to raise gross proceeds of RM112.0 million. The Company intends to utilise the cash proceeds in the following manner:

Notes:

(1) WMSC intends to utilise the balance of the Disposal Considerations after payment of estimated expenses and dividend distribution for acquisition of new business(es) to be identified by WMSC as part of its efforts to regularise its condition.

At this juncture, the Board has yet to identify the type or nature of the business(es) or asset(s) to be acquired by WMSC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, WMSC endeavours to undertake the acquisition of new business(es) within 36 months from the completion of the Proposed Disposals.

The Company shall make the necessary announcement(s) and seek for approval(s) from its shareholders, if required, upon such business(es) being identified by the Board and relevant agreements are entered into, where applicable, subject always to the compliance with the Listing Requirements.

(2) Following the completion of the Proposed Disposals, the Company intends to distribute a dividend 5 sen per WMSC share which amounts to approximately RM24.24 million to its shareholders. The dividend is expected to be distributed within 2 months from the completion of the Proposed Disposals.

  • (3) The estimated expenses in relation to the Proposals consist of professional fees, taxes, legal fees, fees payable to the relevant authorities, expenses to convene the extraordinary general meeting and other ancillary expenses. Any surplus or shortfall of proceeds for the expenses in relation to the Proposals will be adjusted accordingly to/from the proceeds allocated for the acquisition of new business(es) to be identified.

  • (4) Includes exercise price of RM30.0 million, of which RM29,999,999 will be received upon completion of the Proposed Disposals as a refundable deposit.

8. LISTING STATUS AND FUTURE PLANS

The Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option are not expected to result in the Company becoming a cash company as defined under the Listing Requirements.

18

Based on the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the FYE 2024, the aggregate revenue generated by the Target Companies constitute more than 70% of the Group’s total revenue. As such, the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option are deemed as major disposals pursuant to subparagraph 8.03A(2) of the Listing Requirements which states that a listed issuer may not have a level of operations that is adequate to warrant continued trading or listing on the Official List of Bursa Securities if the listed issuer has suspended or ceased all of its business or its major business due to or as a result of the disposal of the listed issuer’s business or major business.

Subject to subparagraphs 8.03A(5) and 8.03A(6) of the Listing Requirements, Affected Listed Issuers must comply with the following, failing which Bursa Securities may suspend the trading of listed securities of such listed issuer or de-list the listed issuer, or both:

  • (a) immediately announce to Bursa Securities of its condition and provide such information from time to time for public release in accordance with the disclosure obligations set out in paragraph 4.0 of Practice Note 17, with the necessary modifications;

  • (b) regularise its condition by complying with the requirements set out in subparagraph 8.04(3) and paragraph 5.0 of Practice Note 17, with the necessary modifications; and

  • (c) comply with such other requirements or do such other acts or things as may be prescribed or required by Bursa Securities.

The Board intends to maintain the Company’s listing status and will use its best endeavours to regularise its condition by complying with the requirements under the Listing Requirements. In particular, as set out in Section 7 of this announcement, about RM86.0 million of the gross proceeds raised from the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option will be earmarked for acquisition of new business.

9. RISK FACTORS FOR THE PROPOSED DISPOSALS, PROPOSED CALL AND PUT OPTION AND PROPOSED PROVISION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

9.1 Completion risk

The completion of the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option are subject to, amongst others, the conditions precedent detailed in the SPAs being fulfilled and/or waived. In the event that any of the conditions precedent are not satisfied, fulfilled and/or waived within the prescribed timeframe, the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option may be delayed or terminated and all the potential benefits arising therefrom may not materialise. There can be no assurance that the condition precedents can be fulfilled and the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option can be completed within the time period stipulated in the SPAs.

9.2 Contractual risk

WMSC is subject to certain contractual risks including, but not limited to, amongst others, the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities which are given or to be given pursuant to the Agreements. Any breach of these obligations may expose WMSC to potential liabilities, including claims for damages and other remedies. In addition, WMSC’s ability to fully comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreements may be affected by operational or external factors beyond its control. While WMSC shall use its best endeavours to ensure compliance with its contractual obligations, there can be no assurance that beaches or disputes will not arise.

19

9.3 Listing status risk

Upon completion of the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option, WMSC may be classified as “Affected Listed Issuer”. If so, the continuous listing of WMSC on the Main Market of Bursa Securities is dependent on the ability of the Board and management to formulate a regularisation plan within the stipulated period. The regularisation plan is subject to, amongst others, the approval of the relevant authorities. There can be no assurance that the regularisation plans proposed by WMSC will be approved by the relevant authorities and/or successfully implemented.

Failure to comply with the obligations under the Paragraph 8.03A of the Listing Requirements may result in WMSC’s listed securities being suspended and/or the Company being de-listed from the Official List of Bursa Securities.

Nonetheless, as stated in Section 8 of this announcement, the Board intends to maintain the Company’s listing status and will use its best endeavours to identify potential businesses as part of its efforts to regularise its conditions.

9.4 Loss of potential future income after the Proposed Disposals and Proposed Call and Put Option

Upon completion of the Proposed Disposals, the Target Companies, being the major contributor to WMSC Group’s revenue and profitability, will cease to be the WMSC’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and therefore the Company will cease consolidating the results of the Target Companies.

WMSC endeavours to take necessary steps to identify new businesses to regularise its condition.

Upon completion of the Proposed Disposal and Proposed Call and Put Option, WMSC will hold an equity interest of approximately 37.8% equity interest in Elixir II, as determined in accordance with the terms of SPA 2 by reference to the indicative share capital of the Elixir II post-Closing following a maximum of SGD35 million financing. The number of Consideration Shares and the corresponding equity interest in Elixir II may vary, by reference to any amount of additional shares issuance by Elixir II to Elixir I, provided always that the Company’s shareholding in Elixir II shall not fall below 33%.

This strategic shareholding is expected to allow WMSC to continue participating in the future growth, earnings and value creation of the enlarged Elixir II Group.

9.5 Zero Loss Guarantees

The Company has provided Zero Loss Guarantee under the SPA 2 in relation to the adjusted net profit of WMSB and the consolidated net profit of the material projects of WMSB, whereby the Company may be required to compensate Elixir II (or WMSB, at Elixir II’s election) for any shortfall. Actual performance of the business and relevant projects may be influenced by operational, market and other external factors.

WMSC will closely monitor the project progression, receivable recovery, and operational controls to support WMSB’s ability to meet the performance threshold. In addition, any subsequent recoveries from third parties that contribute to WMSB’s financial results may be reimbursed to WMSC, thereby limiting potential net exposure.

9.6 Drag-along risk

Under the SHA, if Elixir I decides to sell all of its shares in Elixir II and the agreed internal rate of return threshold of 8% to WMSC is met, it may compel WMSC to sell its shares in Elixir II on the same terms. In the event that such disposal is subject to shareholders’ approval of WMSC at that point in time and such approval is not obtained, WMSC will be liable for USD1.0 million in agreed liquidated damages.

20

‑ The drag along mechanism includes fairness protections such as equal pricing and same terms for WMSC and the majority shareholder, ensuring WMSC is not disadvantaged. WMSC will ‑ also engage proactively with its shareholders in the event a drag along notice is received to increase the likelihood of obtaining the necessary approval.

9.7 Risk related to the Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance

Under the Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance, WMSC must grant a share charge in favour of the financial institution over the Consideration Shares, to enable Elixir II to obtain banking facilities of up to SGD35 million to partly satisfy the cash consideration payable under the SPAs and Option Agreement. If Elixir II defaults under the facility, the financial institution may enforce the charge, resulting in WMSC losing part or all of its equity interest in Elixir II.

The share charge is an integral component of the overall transaction structure at the current agreed valuation and does not impose any guarantee obligations on WMSC.

In addition:

  • (i) the Company’s economic interest and participation in the enlarged Elixir II Group’s future performance remain preserved;

  • (ii) the Company will continue to benefit from protections, including board representation and reserved matters under the SHA, allowing oversight of Elixir II’s financial and operational position;

  • (iii) the gearing level of the enlarged Elixir II Group is reasonable, mitigating enforcement risk on the charged shares; and

  • (iv) the Proposed Provision of Financial Assistance does not constitute a disproportionate support by the Company. Both the Company and Elixir I will charge all the Elixir II shares held by them, ensuring equitable treatment among shareholders.

21

The constitution of a Singapore company may include shareholding limits that restrict ownership by foreigners. However, based on the constitution of EMIS, there are no restrictions or limitations on foreign ownership in EMIS.

(ii) Taxation

No. Type of taxes Details
(a) Income Tax Act
1947
of
Singapore
("Income
Tax
Act")
Corporate taxpayers (both resident and non-resident) are
subject to Singapore corporate income tax on income
accruing in or derived from Singapore and on income
received in Singapore from outside Singapore, unless
specifically exempted from income tax.
For the purposes of income tax, a company is regarded
as tax resident in Singapore if the control and
management of its business is exercised in Singapore.
While both Singapore tax resident and non-Singapore tax
resident companies are generally taxed in the same
manner, Singapore tax resident companies enjoy certain
benefits, including tax exemption scheme for new start-
up companies, tax benefits provided under double tax
agreements between Singapore and other jurisdictions,
foreign tax credits and tax exemption on specified foreign
income.
A Singapore tax resident company can enjoy tax
exemption on its specified foreign income (including any
dividend derived from any territory outside Singapore,
any profit derived from any trade or business carried on
by a branch in any territory outside Singapore of a
company resident in Singapore, and any income derived
from any professional, consultancy and other services
rendered in any territory outside Singapore) remitted into
Singapore provided that the following conditions are met:
(a)
the foreign income has been subject to tax of a
similar character to income tax (by whatever
name called), or qualified domestic minimum top-
up tax (but disregarding any excluded top-up
tax), under the law of the territory from which the
foreign income is received;
(b)
the highest rate of tax of a similar character to
income tax (by whatever name called) (but
disregarding any excluded top-up tax or qualified
domestic minimum top-up tax), levied under the
law of the territory from which the foreign income
is received is at least fifteen percent (15%); and
(c)
the Comptroller of Income Tax is satisfied that the
tax exemption would be beneficial to the
Singapore tax resident company.
The prevailing corporate income tax rate applicable to
companies in Singapore is currently seventeen percent
(17%).
With effect from Year of Assessment 2020 onwards,
seventy-five percent (75%) of up to the first SGD10,000,
and fifty percent (50%) of up to the next SGD190,000, of
a Singapore resident company’s chargeable income
otherwise subject to usual tax is exempt from Singapore
corporate income tax. The remaining chargeable income

26

No. Type of taxes Details
(after the tax exemption) will be fully taxable at the
prevailing corporate income tax rate of seventeen percent
(17%).
The Minister for Finance had announced in Budget 2026
that for Year of Assessment 2026, companies would
receive a 40% corporate income tax rebate capped at
SGD 30,000 provided that certain conditions are met for
e.g. such companies have employed at least 1 local
employee in the previous year.
(b) Dividend
distributions
(i)
One-tier corporate taxation system
As Singapore adopts the one-tier corporate
taxation system, dividends paid by a Singapore
resident company are tax exempt in the hands of
its shareholders.
(ii)
Withholding tax
Singapore generally does not impose withholding
tax on dividends paid to resident or non-resident
shareholders.
Certain other payments of an income nature to
non-Singapore tax resident persons (whether
individual or corporate) may however be subject
to withholding tax. A company is generally
required to withhold tax when it makes certain
types of payments or is deemed to make certain
types of payment to non-resident persons,
including but not limited to:
(a)
interest, commission, fee in connection
with any loan or indebtedness;
(b)
royalty or other payments for the use of
or the right to use any movable property;
(c)
payments for the use of or the right to use
scientific,
technical,
industrial
or
commercial knowledge or information or
for the rendering of assistance or service
in connection with the application or use
of such knowledge or information;
(d)
payment for management or assistance
in the management of any trade,
business or profession service fees;
(e)
rent or other payments under any
agreement or arrangement for the use of
any movable property;
(f)
payments for the purchase of real
property from a non resident property
trader;

27

No. Type of taxes Details
(g)
payments
made
from
structured
products (other than payments which
qualify for tax exemption under Section
13(1)(zj) of the Income Tax Act); and
(h)
real estate investment trust distributions.
The withholding tax rate imposed generally falls between
ten percent (10%) and twenty-four percent (24%) unless
lowered or exempt pursuant to prevailing regulations
granting exceptions or pursuant to tax incentive schemes
or concessions or otherwise specified in an applicable
avoidance of double taxation agreement between
Singapore and other tax jurisdictions.
(c) Capital gains tax Singapore generally does not impose tax on capital gains
unless the gains arose from the disposal of foreign assets
for which Section 10L of the Income Tax Act applies.
Gains from the disposal of shares in a Singapore
company are generally regarded of an income nature if its
acquisition and disposal arose from the carrying of a trade
or business in Singapore.
(d) Stamp Duty Instruments relating to the transfer and assignment of
stocks and shares whose register is maintained in
Singapore
and
immovable
properties
located
in
Singapore are subject to Singapore stamp duties. Where
shares of a Singapore incorporated company are
transferred, stamp duties will be payable on the transfer
at a rate of zero point two percent (0.2%) of the purchase
price or net asset value of the shares whichever is higher.
The purchaser or transferee is liable for stamp duty,
unless otherwise agreed amongst the parties.
(e) Goods
and
Services
Tax
(“GST”)
Taxable supplies and importation of goods into Singapore
are generally subject to GST at the prevailing rate of nine
percent
(9%)
unless
exempted.
GST-registered
businesses are obliged to charge GST on all taxable
supplies, except for exported goods, international
services and exempt supplies.

(iii) Repatriation of profits

There are no foreign exchange control restrictions imposed under Singapore laws and there are no exchange control formalities or approvals required for all forms of payments or capital transfers into or out of Singapore, so long as there is no breach of any rule for international monitoring for countering money-laundering and terrorism and subject to payment of withholding tax (if applicable).

Pursuant to Section 403 of the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore, no dividend shall be payable to shareholders of a Singapore company except out of profits. Subject to the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore and the company’s constitution, there are no statutory restrictions under Singapore law on the payment of dividends to foreign shareholders.

28

A Singapore company is subject to restrictions on the modes and methods of returning capital to its shareholders. A Singapore company may buy back its own ordinary shares subject to the limits prescribed under the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore and may only be undertaken if the company is expressly permitted to so by its constitution. Payment for such buybacks may be made out of distributable profits or capital so long as the company is solvent. A Singapore company can otherwise without any buyback of its own ordinary shares return capital to its shareholders if it carries out a valid capital reduction exercise in accordance with the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore unless its constitution excludes or restricts such power to reduce its share capital.

Commentary on past financial performance:

FYE 2023 vs FYE 2022

WMSB recorded a revenue of approximately RM63.27 million for the FYE 2023, representing an increase of RM8.51 million or 15.54% from RM54.76 million in FYE 2022. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in contract revenue by RM8.42 million or 21.85% to RM46.96 million (FYE 2022: RM38.54 million) due to the commencement of new projects and accelerated progress of ongoing projects.

WMSB incurred a LAT of approximately RM1.58 million for the FYE 2023, representing a decrease in LAT of approximately RM3.17 million or 66.74% as compared to the LAT of approximately RM4.75 million in FYE 2022. This is mainly due to the following:

  • (a) an increase in other income by RM0.70 million or 134.62% to RM1.22 million for the FYE 2023, primarily attributable to the reversal of impairment loss on receivables; and

  • (b) lower administrative expenses by RM3.41 million or 26.85% to RM9.29 million for the FYE 2023, mainly attributable to the transfer of payroll of directors to immediate holding company due to the Group’s internal restructuring plan.

FYE 2024 vs FYE 2023

WMSB recorded a revenue of approximately RM69.89 million for the FYE 2024, representing an increase of RM6.62 million or 10.46% from RM63.27 million in FYE 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in miscellaneous income by RM5.98 million or 39.71% to RM21.04 million (FYE 2023: RM15.06 million) due to additional telecommunication tower projects being secured.

WMSB recorded a PAT of approximately RM0.79 million for the FYE 2024, representing a profit reversal of approximately RM2.37 million or 150.00% as compared to the LAT of approximately RM1.58 million in FYE 2023. This is mainly due to the following:

  • (a) an increase in other income by RM2.46 million or 201.64% to RM3.68 million for the FYE 2024, primarily attributable to waiver of debt of RM3.50 million by immediate holding company;

  • (b) lower administrative expenses by RM1.03 million or 11.09% to RM8.26 million for the FYE 2024, mainly attributable to the write off of impairment loss of receivables; and

  • (c) lower finance costs, primarily due to the waiver of interest by the immediate holding company, resulting from the decrease in interest expense paid to immediate holding company from RM1.65 million to nil for the FYE 2024.

The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to the decrease in maintenance income by SGD0.78 million or 4.80% to SGD15.48 million (FYE 2022: SGD16.26 million) due to the expiry of certain maintenance contracts without renewal.

WSPL recorded a PAT of approximately SGD6.24 million for the FYE 2023, representing a decrease of approximately SGD0.19 million or 2.95% as compared to the PAT of approximately SGD6.43 million in FYE 2022. This is mainly due to the following:

  • (a) higher distribution expenses by SGD0.13 million or 13.68% to SGD1.08 million for the FYE 2023, mainly attributable to an increase in staff cost;

  • (b) higher income tax expenses due to prior year income tax payable; and

  • (c) higher finance costs as a result of increased lease liabilities and the borrowing rates applicable to the lease liabilities.

FYE 2024 vs FYE 2023

The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to the decrease in long term contract income by SGD4.42 million or 15.88% to SGD23.41 million (FYE 2023: SGD27.83 million) due to a decrease in new projects secured.

WSPL recorded a PAT of approximately SGD6.20 million for the FYE 2024, representing a decrease of approximately SGD0.04 million or 0.64% as compared to the PAT of approximately SGD6.24 million in FYE 2023. This is mainly due to a decrease in interest income by SGD0.04 million or 30.77% to SGD0.09 million for the FYE 2024, primarily attributable to lower fixed deposit placements.

FYE 2023 vs FYE 2022

WSI recorded a revenue of approximately CAD10.98 million for the FYE 2023, representing a decrease of CAD0.62 million or 5.34% from CAD11.60 million in FYE 2022. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to the decrease in government contributions by CAD0.46 million or 22.33% to CAD1.60 million (FYE 2022: CAD2.06 million) due to the windup of access to scaleup government grant funding, the improper application of stacking rules under the Scientific Research and Experimental Development programme and other government incentives, and delays in the commencement of several major multiyear infrastructure projects.

WSI incurred a LAT of approximately CAD0.94 million for the FYE 2023, representing a decrease of approximately CAD1.47 million or 277.36% as compared to the PAT of approximately CAD0.53 million in FYE 2022. This is mainly due to the following:

  • (a) higher administrative expenses mainly attributable to increased personnel costs, professional, legal, and advisory fees, and higher overheads incurred in support of ongoing operations, sales & marketing and strategic initiatives; and

57

Appendix II

WSI recorded a revenue of approximately CAD9.31 million for the FYE 2024, representing a decrease of CAD1.67 million or 15.21% from CAD10.98 million in FYE 2023. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to the decrease in government contributions by CAD1.11 million or 69.38% to CAD0.49 million (FYE 2023: CAD1.60 million) due to reduced levels of government incentive and grant funding, and the continued delay in the commencement of several large, multiyear infrastructure programs.

WSI incurred a LAT of approximately CAD7.72 million for the FYE 2024, representing a increase in LAT of approximately CAD6.78 million or 721.28% as compared to the LAT of approximately CAD0.94 million in FYE 2023. This is mainly due to the following:

  • (a) higher administrative expenses mainly attributable to increased personnel costs, professional and advisory fees, higher overheads incurred in support of ongoing operations and strategic initiative, significant one-off and non-recurring items, including restructuring costs, impairment charges, provisions, and other expenses arising from operational challenges and a strategic review of the business; and
