(COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS THE “PROPOSALS”)

1.0 INTRODUCTION

On behalf of the Board of Directors of HLT (“Board”), KAF Investment Bank Berhad (“KAF IB”)

wishes to announce that the Company is proposing to undertake the Proposals.

Further details on the Proposals are set out in the ensuing sections.

2.0 DETAILS OF THE PROPOSALS

2.1 PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES

2.1.1 Basis and number of Bonus Shares to be issued

The Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares entails the issuance of up to 132,960,500 Bonus Shares to be

credited as fully paid-up on the basis of one (1) Bonus Shares for every two (2) existing HLT Shares held

by the shareholders of HLT whose names appears on the Record of Depositors of the Company at the

close of business on a date to be determined and announced later by the Board (“Entitlement Date”).

The Entitlement Date will be determined and announced at a later date upon receipt of all relevant

approvals for the Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares.

As at 15 September 2017, being the latest practicable date prior to the date of this announcement

(“LPD”), the issued share capital of HLT is RM26,392,100 comprising 263,921,000 HLT Shares. In

addition, there are 2,000,000 options granted under HLT’s Employees Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”)

(“ESOS Options”), which remained unexercised as at the LPD.

For the purpose of illustration, the pro forma effects of the Proposals shall be based on the following

scenarios:-

Minimum Scenario - 131,960,500 Bonus Shares will be issued pursuant to the Proposed

Bonus Issue of Shares based on the issued share capital of the Company

as at the LPD of RM26,392,100 comprising 263,921,000 HLT Shares

on the assumption that none of the 2,000,000 ESOS Options will be

exercised on or prior to the Entitlement date.

Maximum Scenario - Up to 132,960,500 Bonus Shares will be issued pursuant to the

Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares based on the enlarged issued share

capital of HLT as at the LPD of RM26,592,100 comprising

265,921,000 HLT Shares on the assumption that all of the 2,000,000

ESOS Options will be exercised into new HLT Shares on or prior to

the Entitlement date.

2

The actual number of Bonus Shares to be issued will depend on the number of HLT Shares in issue as at

the Entitlement Date. Fractional entitlements arising from the Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares, if any,

shall be dealt with in such manner as the Board shall in its absolute discretion deem fit and expedient,

and in the best interest of the Company.

The Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares is not intended to be implemented on a staggered basis.

2.1.2 Capitalisation of reserves

The Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares shall be effected by way of capitalising the share premium and

retained profits of the Company. HLT intends to capitalise the entire share premium account of the

Company first and utilise the retained earnings account of the Company to make up for any shortfall to

facilitate the Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares.

For the purpose of illustration, the pro forma effects of the Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares on the

reserves based on the Company’s latest audited financial statements for the financial year ended (“FYE”)

31 December 2016 and latest unaudited financial statements for the six (6)-months financial period ended

(“FPE”) 30 June 2017, are as follows:-

Notes:-

(1) Being the share premium arising from the public issue of 39,591,000 HLT Shares at RM0.45 per share

pursuant to the Company’s listing on Ace Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) on 10 January 2017 after adjusted for the associated share issuance expenses of RM0.68 million.

(2) The declaration of interim dividends totalling RM8.0 million in respect of the financial year ending 31

December 2017 on 21 September 2017 by HL Advance Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HLT.

(3) The declaration of first interim dividend of 1.00 sen per Share for the financial year ending 31 December 2017,

which shall be paid out on 30 November 2017 to the shareholders whose names appear in the Record of

Depositors of HLT at the close of business on 1 November 2017 (“Dividend Entitlement Date”).

The Board confirms that based on HLT’s latest audited consolidated financial statements for the FYE 31

December 2016 and its latest unaudited consolidated quarterly financial results for the six (6)-month FPE

30 June 2017, after adjusted for the aforesaid subsequent events, HLT’s reserves required for the

capitalisation of the Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares are unimpaired by losses on a consolidated basis in

accordance with Paragraph 6.31(1) of the Ace Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities (“Listing

Requirements”).

Further, the Board will obtain a confirmation from the external auditors of the Company, namely Messrs.

Crowe Horwath on the adequacy of reserves for the capitalisation under the Proposed Bonus Issue of

Shares pursuant to Paragraph 6.31(3) of the Listing Requirements. The details of such confirmation will

be disclosed in the circular to shareholders of HLT to be issued at a later date.

2.1.3 Ranking of the Bonus Shares

The Bonus Shares shall, upon allotment and issuance, shall rank pari passu in all respects with the then

existing HLT Shares, save and except that they will not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments

and/or any other forms of distribution which may be declared, made or paid to the shareholders of HLT,

the entitlement date of which is prior to the date of allotment and issuance of the Bonus Shares.

For clarity, the Bonus Shares will be allotted and issued after the Dividend Entitlement Date and hence,

will not be entitled to the first interim dividend of 1.00 sen per Share declared for the financial year

ending 31 December 2017.

2.1.4 Listing of and quotation for the Bonus Shares

An application will be made to Bursa Securities for the listing of and quotation for the Bonus Shares on

2.2 PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF WARRANTS

2.2.1 Basis and number of Warrants to be issued

The Proposed Bonus Issue of Warrants involves the issuance of up to 199,440,750 Warrants on the basis

of three (3) Warrants for every four (4) existing HLT Shares held by the shareholders of HLT on the

same Entitlement Date as the Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Bonus

Shares are not entitled to the Warrants.

Under the Minimum Scenario, 197,940,750 Warrants will be issued pursuant to the Proposed Bonus

Issue of Warrants, whilst up to 199,440,750 Warrants will be issued under the Maximum Scenario. Any

fractional entitlements of the Warrants, if any, shall be dealt with in such manner as the Board shall in

its absolute discretion think fit and expedient, and in the best interests of the Company. The Proposed

The Warrants will be issued in registered form and constituted by a deed poll to be executed by the

Company (“Deed Poll”). The indicative salient terms of the Warrants are set out in Section 2.2.6 of this

announcement.

2.2.2 Capitalisation of reserves

Proposed Bonus Issue of Warrants. Therefore, the requirement to ensure that the necessary reserves

3.0 UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS

The Proposed Bonus Issue of Shares will not raise any funds.

The Proposed Bonus Issue of Warrants will not raise any immediate funds upon its issuance as the

Warrants will be issued at no cost to the entitled shareholders of HLT. The exact quantum of the future

proceeds that may be raised by HLT would depend upon the actual number of Warrants exercised during

the tenure of the Warrants. As such, the exact timeframe for the utilisation of proceeds arising therefrom

is not determinable at this juncture.

Assuming full exercise of the Warrants at the Exercise Price of RM0.20 per Warrant, a total of up to

199,440,750 new HLT Shares would be issued and the Company could potentially raise a maximum

gross proceeds of RM39,888,150. Such proceeds to be raised, as and when the Warrants are exercised,

shall be utilised for the future working capital requirements of the HLT Group, which include, amongst

others, payment to trade and other payables, staff costs and other operating expenses such as rental and

utilities. The proceeds to be utilised for each component of working capital are subject to the HLT

Group’s operating requirements at the time of utilisation and therefore cannot be determined at this

juncture.

4.0 RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSALS

The Proposals are aimed at rewarding shareholders of the Company for their confidence in the HLT

Group and continuing support by giving them additional participation in the equity of the Company in

terms of number of Shares held, whilst maintaining their equity interest. In addition, the Proposed Bonus

Issue of Shares is expected to enhance the marketability and trading liquidity of HLT Shares on Bursa

Securities by way of a larger capital base.

Further, the Board is of the view that the Proposed Bonus Issue of Warrants is an appropriate avenue for

rewarding the existing shareholders of HLT after taking into consideration, amongst others, the following

factors:-

(a) the Proposed Bonus Issue of Warrants will reward the shareholders for their continuous support

by enabling them to participate in a derivative of HLT without incurring any costs;

(b) the issuance of Warrants will provide the shareholders with an opportunity to further increase

their equity participation in the Company by exercising the Warrants at a pre-determined price

over the tenure of the Warrants. The shareholders who are entitled to the Warrants may also

benefit from any potential capital appreciation arising from the exercise of the Warrants;

(c) to strengthen its financial position with enhanced shareholders’ funds and enlarged capital base

pursuant to the exercise of Warrants into new HLT Shares which is expected to enhance the

liquidity of HLT Shares on the Ace Market of Bursa Securities; and

(d) the Warrants will enable the Company to raise further proceeds as and when the Warrants are

exercised, for working capital requirements of the HLT Group.
