To: The Shareholders of HeiTech

Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSED WAIVER OF THE SHAREHOLDERS' PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS

1.0 INTRODUCTION

During the 28th AGM of HeiTech held on 22 June 2023, the Company had obtained the General Mandate from its shareholders, whereby the Board has been authorised to issue and allot new shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued shares of HeiTech (excluding treasury shares) at the time of issue ("Existing General Mandate"). The Existing General Mandate shall continue to be in force until the conclusion of the Company's next AGM. From the 28th AGM until the date of this Circular, no new shares have been issued pursuant to the Existing General Mandate.

Pursuant to Section 85 of the Act and to be read together with Clause 52 of the Constitution, the shareholders of HeiTech have the pre-emptive rights to be offered new Shares which rank equally to existing shares, subject to any direction to the contrary that may be given in general meeting.

"Section 85 of the Act: Pre-emptive rights to new shares

  1. Subject to the constitution, where a company issues shares which rank equally to existing shares as to voting or distribution rights, those shares shall first be offered to

1

the holders of existing shares in a manner which would, if the offer were accepted, maintain the relative voting and distribution rights of those shareholders.

  1. An offer under subsection (1) shall be made to the holders of existing shares in a notice specifying the number of shares offered and the time frame of the offer within which the offer, if not accepted, is deemed to be declined.
  2. If the offer is not accepted after the expiry of the period specified in the notice under subsection (2), the directors may dispose those shares in such manner as the directors think most beneficial to the company."

Clause 52 of the Constitution has been extracted and reproduced below for ease of reference. The words and expressions appearing in the following provision shall bear the same meaning used in the Constitution:

"Subject to any direction to the contrary that may be given by the Company in General Meeting any shares for the time being unissued and not allotted and any new shares from time to time to be created shall before they are issued be offered to such persons as at the date of the offer are entitled to receive notices from the Company of General Meetings in proportion, as nearly as the circumstance admit, to the amount of the existing shares to which they are entitled. The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered and limiting a time within which the offer, if not accepted, shall be deemed to be declined, and, after the expiration of the time, or on the receipt of an intimation from the person to whom the offer is made that he declines to accept the shares offered, the Directors may dispose of those shares in such manner as they think most beneficial to the Company. The Directors may likewise so dispose of any shares which (by reason of the ratio which the new shares bear to shares held by persons entitled to an offer of new shares) cannot, in the opinion of the Directors, be conveniently offered under this Clause."

2.0 DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED WAIVER

In view of the provisions of Section 85 of the Act and read together with Clause 52 of the Constitution as stated above, the Company proposes to seek our shareholders' waiver of their pre-emptive rights over the new shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the Existing General Mandate.

3.0 RATIONALE

The Proposed Waiver of the Shareholders' Pre-emptive Rights will enable the Directors to issue and allot new shares pursuant to the Existing General Mandate which rank equally to existing issued shares to any person without having first to offer such new shares to the existing shareholders in proportion to the shareholdings in the Company.

This flexibility will allow, if required the Company to expediently issue new shares pursuant to the Existing General Mandate for any possible fund-raising activities such as placement of shares.

  1. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED WAIVER
    The Proposed Waiver, if approved by the shareholders, will deem the shareholders to have waived their pre-emptive rights pursuant to Section 85 of the Act and read together with Clause 52 of the Constitution to be first offered the new shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the Existing General Mandate which will result in a dilution of their shareholding percentage in the Company.
    The Proposed Waiver, if approved, unless revoked or varied by the Company in a general meeting, will be valid for the same validity period of the Existing General Mandate i.e. until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of our Company.
    The Proposed Waiver is not expected to have any material effect on the issued share capital, substantial shareholders' shareholdings, net assets, gearing or earnings of the Group.
  1. APPROVAL REQUIRED
    The Proposed Waiver is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company at the EGM to be convened.

2

6.0 CONDITIONALITY OF THE PROPOSED WAIVER

The Proposed waiver is not conditional upon any other corporate proposal undertaken or to be undertaken by the Company.

  1. INTERESTS OF THE DIRECTORS, MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND/OR PERSONS CONNECTED WITH THEM
    None of the Company's Directors, Major Shareholders and/or persons connected with them has any interest, direct and/or indirect in the Proposed Waiver.
  1. DIRECTORS' STATEMENT AND RECOMMENDATION

  1. EGM

FURTHER INFORMATION

1.0 DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This Circular has been reviewed and approved by the Directors of HeiTech and they individually and collectively accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained herein and confirm that, after having made all reasonable enquiries and to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement in this Statement/Circular misleading.

2.0 MATERIAL LITIGATION

Save as disclosed below, as at the LPD, to the best knowledge of the Board, neither HeiTech nor its subsidiaries are engaged in any material litigation, claims or arbitration, either as plaintiff or defendant, which may have a material effect on the financial position or business of HeiTech Group, and the Board is not aware of any proceedings, pending or threatened, or of any facts likely to give rise to any proceedings which may materially and adversely affect the financial position or business of the HeiTech Group:

  1. KUALA LUMPUR HIGH COURT SUIT NO: WA-22NCVC-72-02/2023 PERTUBUHAN KESELAMATAN SOSIAL (PLAINTIFF) VS HEITECH PADU BERHAD (DEFENDANT)
    The Group had on 23rd February 2023 received a Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim from PERKESO, claiming a sum of RM26,363,369.03 for a purported breach of contract for the Services rendered by the Group.
    The Group via its solicitors filed an Order 14A Application (Disposal of Case on Point of Law) and has served the same to the PERKESO's solicitors. Both Parties have exchanged their Written and Reply Submissions accordingly.
    The Court has fixed the Decision for the O14A application on 20th March 2024.
    The Group is of the view that we not only have a reasonable case against PERKESO but also have a counterclaim against PERKESO for unlawful termination of said Contract.
  2. COURT OF APPEAL CIVIL APPEAL NO. B-02(NCVC)(W)-709-04/2023 ESDC (APPELLANT) VS HEITECH PADU BERHAD (RESPONDENT)
    The Group had on 9th November 2018 received a Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim from ESDC Technology Sdn Bhd ("ESDC"), the subcontractor, alleging non- payment of RM2,730,000.00 for services purportedly provided by ESDC to the Group's customer. The full trial took place on the 21st November 2022 and 22nd November 2022 respectively to dispute the claim. The High Court on 28th March 2023, dismissed ESDC's claim and ordered ESDC to pay RM35,000.00 in costs to the Group.
    ESDC being dissatisfied with the decision of the High Court delivered on 28th March 2023, had made an appeal to the Court of Appeal to set aside the decision of the High Court. The Court of Appeal has scheduled the Hearing of the Appeal for 22nd April 2024.

The Group believes it has a strong likelihood of success in this case.

  1. MATERIAL COMMITMENT
    As at the LPD, the Board is not aware of any material commitment incurred or known to be incurred by the Group, which upon becoming enforceable, may have material impact on the financial position of the Group.
  1. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
    As at the LPD, there are no contingent liabilities incurred or known to be incurred by our Group, which upon becoming enforceable, may have material impact on the financial position of our Group.
