We refer to our announcements made on 23 August 2012 and 24 August 2012 in respect of the Proposed Disposal of property to WCT Hartanah Jaya Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of WCT Land Sdn Bhd, which is in turn a wholly owned subsidiary of WCT Berhad, for a sale consideration of RM180.0 million.
We furnish herewith the following additional information for public release:-

1) The shopping mall (comprising a 4 level retail podium block and 2 levels of car park) erected on Lot 32665 held under freehold title Geran 413471, Mukim of Tebrau, District of Johor Bharu, State of Johor Darul Takzim ("the Property") received its Certificate of Fitness in year 2000. It has been abandoned for more than 8 years. The Property was acquired by MBSB pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement of its borrower free from encumbrances. The Property was then transferred to Idaman Usahamas Sdn. Bhd. ("IUSB"), the wholly owned subsidiary of MBSB, in December 2011.

(i) in the best interest of the Company;

on the basis that the consideration is higher than the net book value of the Property and the open market value of the Property which is RM124,548,127 and RM160,000,000 respectively.
