INTRODUCTION At the AGM held on 27 May 2014, your Board obtained shareholders approval for CCM Group to enter into RRPTs. The authority obtained for the RRPTs shall continue to be in force (unless revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting) until:- (a) (b) the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company (and will be subject to annual renewal) following the AGM at which such RRPTs mandate was passed, at which time it will lapse, unless by a resolution passed at a general meeting whereby the authority is renewed; or the expiration of the period within which the next AGM of CCM subsequent to the date it is required to be held pursuant to Section 143(1) of the Act (but shall not extend to such extension as may be allowed pursuant to Section 143(2) of the Act); or (c) revoked or varied by resolution passed by the shareholders in an AGM or EGM; whichever is the earlier. 1

On 18 March 2015, CCM announced that it proposes to seek a Shareholders Mandate at the forthcoming AGM for the following: i) proposed shareholders approval for the renewal of Shareholders Mandate in relation to RRPTs as set out in section 2.2.1 herein. This is in view of the fact that the existing mandate for the RRPTs obtained from the shareholders of the Company at the Company s AGM held on 27 May 2014 will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM on Wednesday, 27 May 2015; and ii) proposed shareholders approval for the new Shareholders Mandate in respect of the additional RRPTs as set out in section 2.2.5 herein Disclosure has been made in the 2014 Annual Report of the Company of the actual breakdown of the aggregate value of such transactions conducted, pursuant to the existing Shareholders Mandate, for the financial year ended 31 December 2014. The purpose of this Circular is to provide you with information on the Proposed Shareholders Mandate and to seek your approval for the Ordinary Resolution pertaining to the Proposed Shareholders Mandate to be tabled at the forthcoming AGM. 2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED SHAREHOLDERS MANDATE 2.1 The Proposed Shareholders Mandate Under paragraph 10.09(2), Part E of Chapter 10 of the Listing Requirements, CCM may seek a Shareholders Mandate in respect of RRPTs involving Recurrent Transactions of a revenue or trading nature which are necessary for its day-to-day operations subject to the following:- i) the transactions are in the ordinary course of business and are on terms not more favourable to the Related Party than those generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of the minority shareholders; ii) iii) iv) the Shareholders Mandate is subject to annual renewal and disclosure is made in the annual report of the aggregate value of transactions conducted pursuant to the Shareholders Mandate during the financial year; interested Directors, interested Major Shareholders, interested persons connected with a Director or Major Shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and where it involves the interest of an interested person connected with a Director or Major Shareholder, such Director or Major Shareholder, must not vote on the resolution approving the transactions. An interested Director or interested Major Shareholder must also ensure that persons connected with them abstain from voting on the resolution approving the transactions; the Company s Circular to Shareholders for the Shareholders Mandate shall include information set out in the Listing Requirements; and v) the Company immediately announces to Bursa Malaysia when the actual value of a Recurrent Related Party Transaction entered into by the Company, exceeds the estimated value of the Recurrent Related Party transaction disclosed in the circular by 10% or more and must include the information as may be prescribed by Bursa Malaysia in its announcement. 2

Notwithstanding the above, the Proposed Shareholders Mandate sought does not cover any Recurrent Transactions of a revenue or trading nature involving companies in which the EPF and PNB and/or funds managed by PNB are interested, in view of the following:- (i) (ii) the conditions set out in paragraph 10.08(11)(m) of the Listing Requirements are expected to be fulfilled, and therefore, transactions involving companies in which EPF is interested would not be regarded as related party transactions; and Bursa Malaysia had on 11 October 2006, pursuant to an application made by CCM, granted a waiver to CCM Group from having to comply with paragraphs 10.08 and 10.09 of the Listing Requirements in respect of future RRPTs between CCM group and companies in which PNB and/or the unit trust funds managed by PNB are interested, subject to the condition that all such RRPTs are based on terms not more favourable to the Group than those generally available to the public and are not detrimental to the minority shareholders of the Company. (iii) The Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs had also issued a prescription effective from 28 February 2002, prescribing any right in respect of shares of a company in which PNB or any unit trust managed by PNB or its related companies is deemed to have an interest in, by virtue of Section 6A(4) of the Act, as not having an interest in the shares of the company. 2.2 The Recurrent Related Party Transactions The Company is principally an Investment Holding and Management Company with subsidiaries and an associate company engaged in the manufacturing, marketing and supply of fertilizers, chemicals and pharmaceuticals products and services as listed in Appendix II: It is anticipated that the companies within the CCM Group, have from time to time, would in the ordinary course of business, enter into various Recurrent Transactions at arms length and on the Group s normal commercial terms, which are not more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public and not to the detriment of the minority shareholders.

2.3 Review Procedures for Recurrent Related Party Transactions To ensure that the RRPTs contemplated under the Proposed Shareholders Mandate are undertaken on terms not more favourable to the Related Party than those generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of the minority shareholders and they are conducted at arms length and on normal commercial terms consistent with the Group s usual business practices and policies and will not be prejudicial to shareholders, the management will ensure that all transactions with Related Parties will only be entered into after taking into consideration the pricing, level and quality of products or services. The pricing of products or services shall be comparable with those offered by/ to other unrelated parties for the same or substantially similar type of transactions. The Company has no specific threshold for RRPTs. However, the Company has in place the Group s Limits of Authority which covers for RRPTs and non-rrpt, as approved by the Board. The review procedures shall include the following:- i) Records will be maintained to capture all RRPTs. ii) The terms and conditions of the RRPTs are based on prevailing market forces and on the same commercial terms as for transactions with other third parties and consistent with normal trade practices. iii) iv) At least two other contemporaneous transactions with unrelated third parties for similar products/ services will be used as comparisons, wherever possible, to determine whether the price and terms offered to/ by the related parties are fair and reasonable and comparable to those offered to/ by other unrelated third parties for the same or substantially similar type of products/ services and/ or quantities. Where quotation or comparative pricing from unrelated third parties cannot be obtained, the transaction price will be determined by the Group in accordance with the applicable industry norms, prevailing commercial rates and at rates not more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public. The internal audit functions of the CCM Group will conduct an annual review of all the records of RRPTs to ensure that procedures in respect of RRPTs are adhered to. v) The Audit and Compliance Committee shall review on an annual basis to ascertain that the procedures established to monitor RRPTs have been complied with. vi) vii) The Board shall have overall responsibility for the determination of the procedures in respect of RRPTs, including addition of new procedures. Where a member of the Board or Audit and Compliance Committee has an interest (direct or indirect) in the related party transactions, he shall declare his interest in the RRPTs and abstain from participating and deliberating in decisions of the Board or Audit and Compliance Committee on the said RRPTs. 9

The Board may at its discretion, adopt new review and disclosure procedures and/or amend the existing procedures to ensure that the RRPTs are at all times on terms consistent with the Group s usual business practices and policies. 2.4 Statement by Audit and Compliance Committee The Audit and Compliance Committee has seen and reviewed the terms of the Proposed Shareholders Mandate and is satisfied that the procedures for RRPTs are sufficient to ensure that RRPTs will be made at arm s length terms and in accordance with the Group s normal commercial terms, and on terms which are not more favourable to the Related Party than those generally available to the public and hence, will not be detrimental to the minority shareholders or disadvantageous to the Group. The Audit and Compliance Committee is of the view that the Group has in place adequate procedures and processes to monitor, track and identify Recurrent Related Party Transactions in a timely and orderly manner and of which the procedures and processes would be reviewed on an annual basis. 2.5 Validity Period of the Proposed Shareholders Mandate If approved at the forthcoming AGM, the Proposed Shareholders Mandate is subject to annual review. In this respect, any authority conferred by the Proposed Shareholders Mandate shall only continue to be in force until: (a) (b) (c) the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company (and will be subject to annual renewal) following the AGM at which such RRPTs mandate was passed, at which time it will lapse, unless by a resolution passed at a general meeting whereby the authority is renewed; or the expiration of the period within which the next AGM of CCM subsequent to the date it is required to be held pursuant to Section 143(1) of the Act (but shall not extend to such extension as may be allowed pursuant to Section 143(2) of the Act); or revoked or varied by resolution passed by the shareholders in an AGM or EGM; whichever is earlier. 2.6 Rationale of the Proposed Shareholders Mandate and Benefits to the Group The Recurrent Transactions are carried out in the ordinary course of business on arms length basis and on terms which are no more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public and which are not prejudicial to the interests of the minority shareholders of CCM. The Recurrent Transactions are intended to meet the business needs of the CCM Group and to ensure smooth running of businesses within the Group. The Proposed Shareholders Mandate when obtained shall eliminate the need to announce to Bursa Malaysia and to convene separate general meetings to seek shareholders approval, as and when the Recurrent Transactions occur. 10

This will substantially reduce the administrative time and expenses for convening such general meetings, improve administrative efficiency and allow CCM to channel such resources towards attaining other corporate objectives and business opportunities available to the CCM Group. The benefit to the CCM Group of the Recurrent Transactions entered into with the Related Parties is that the Recurrent Transactions meet the business needs of the CCM Group and provides ready seller/buyer to the Group. The relationships and close co-operation with Related Parties has also reaped mutual benefits, which is expected to continue to be beneficial to the whole Group. 3. FINANCIAL EFFECTS The Proposed Shareholders Mandate is not expected to have any material effect on the share capital, shareholdings and net assets of CCM Group. However, the Proposed Shareholders mandate is expected to contribute positively to the earnings of CCM Group for its financial year ending 31 December 2015. 4. DIRECTOR AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDER INTERESTS LTH, being the interested Major Shareholder, has and will abstain from voting in respect of its direct and/or indirect shareholding in CCM, and shall undertake to ensure that persons connected to them will also abstain from voting on the resolution approving the Proposed Shareholders Mandate at the forthcoming AGM.
