CCB is unable to disclose the net book value of the Property as it is not privy to such information. 2.4 Source of Funding The Purchase Price for the Proposed Acquisition will be satisfied entirely in cash, which will be financed through internally-generated funds and/or bank borrowings. The exact mix of the internally-generated funds and/or bank borrowings will be decided by CCB at a later stage taking into consideration of interest costs of the bank borrowings. 2.5 Liabilities to be Assumed CCB will not be assuming any liability, including contingent liabilities and guarantees with regards to the Proposed Acquisition. 2.6 Information on CCB CCB is a public company, listed on Bursa Malaysia, incorporated in Malaysia under the Companies Act, 1965 ( Act ).

4 3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION The Proposed Acquisition is to establish a 3-S Centre in Sungai Besi which forms a strategic part of CCB s on-going network expansion plans across Malaysia. The location is currently an important location for various motor brands and is expected to be further enhanced with the development of the Bandar Malaysia project opposite the Property. The Property is a prominent double-frontage site located along Jalan Sungai Besi with excellent access and visibility from the main highway. 4. RISK FACTORS IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION The completion of the Proposed Acquisition is conditional upon the fulfilment of all necessary conditions as set out in Section 2.2(c) above. In the event that such approvals and/or conditions are not obtained and/or satisfied, the Proposed Acquisition will not be completed and CCB will not be able to meet its objective as stated in Section 3 of this announcement. However, CCB will take reasonable steps to ensure the fulfilment of the Conditions Precedent in the SPA to facilitate the completion of the Proposed Acquisition. The Purchase Price is expected to be financed via external bank borrowings to be procured by CCB and CCB may incur an interest expense on the bank borrowings. In view that the interest charged on bank borrowings is dependent on prevailing interest rates, future fluctuation of interest rates could have an effect on the CCB s cash flows and profitability. 5. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION 5.1 Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital and Substantial Shareholders Shareholdings The Proposed Acquisition will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital and the substantial shareholders shareholdings of CCB as the Purchase Price is to be satisfied entirely by cash and does not involve any issuance of CCB shares. 5.2 Net Assets ( NA ) and Gearing The Proposed Acquisition is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated NA of the CCB and NA per share of CCB. As the Purchase Price is to be satisfied by internally-generated funds and/or bank borrowings and the exact manner in which the Purchase Price will be satisfied has not been finalised hence the effect of the Proposed Acquisition on the gearing of CCB cannot be ascertained at this juncture. 5.3 Earnings and Earnings Per Share The Proposed Acquisition is expected to result in rental savings and capital appreciation on the Property in the medium term. Overall, the Proposed Acquisition is not expected to have a significant impact on the Earnings and Earnings Per Share of CCB. 6. APPROVALS REQUIRED Pursuant to Chapter 10, Parts B and D, paragraphs 10.02(g) and of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, the Proposed Acquisition is not subject to the approval of the shareholders of CCB as it falls below 25% of the percentage ratios. 4
