RED SENA BERHAD

CIRCULAR TO THE SHAREHOLDERS IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED MEMBERS' VOLUNTARY WINDING UP AND PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF LIQUIDATORS

Under the Equity Guidelines, a SPAC must complete its Qualifying Acquisition within the Permitted Timeframe.

A SPAC which fails to complete a Qualifying Acquisition within the Permitted Timeframe must be liquidated

pursuant to Paragraph 6.41 of the same. The Company was listed on Bursa Securities on 10 December 2015.

The last day of the Permitted Timeframe for the Company to complete the Qualifying Acquisition was on 10 December 2018. On 6 July 2018, the Company announced to Bursa Securities that it has yet to enter into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for a Qualifying Acquisition.

As at the date of the said announcement, the Company had approximately five months left of the Permitted Timeframe to identify, sign a sale and purchase agreement and complete a Qualifying Acquisition.

Taking into consideration the processes and approvals required to complete a Qualifying Acquisition and the remaining time left, the Board had deliberated and concluded that the Company would not be able to complete a Qualifying Acquisition within the Permitted Timeframe.

In line with Paragraph 6.41 of the Equity Guidelines, and as further provided under Article 60C (7)(a) of the

Articles, if the Company is unable to complete a Qualifying Acquisition within the Permitted Timeframe, the

liquidation process shall commence as soon as practicable within 60 days after the expiry of the Permitted

Timeframe.
