1. INTRODUCTION
The Board of Directors of Waja ("Board”) wishes to announce that Waja has triggered the Prescribed Criteria of paragraphs 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) of Guidance Note 3 (“GN3”) of the ACE Market Listing Requirements (“Bursa Securities”) (“Listing Requirements”), whereby:-
(i) Waja has incurred an loss attributable to owners of RM44.03 million for the financial period ended (“FPE”) 30 June 2023 which exceeded the amount of its shareholders' equity of RM37.20 million at the end of the said financial year and the shareholders’ equity of RM37.20 million is less than 50% of the share capital of RM113.36 million of the Company at the end of the said financial year;
(ii) Waja has incurred aggregated losses of RM68.59 million in 2 consecutive full financial years (“said financial period”):-
(a) which exceeds the amount of its shareholders’ equity of RM37.20 million at the end of the said financial period (i.e. as at 30 June 2023);
(b) the loss incurred in the second full financial year of RM44.03 million of the said financial period is more than 50% of the loss incurred in the first full financial year of RM24.56 million of the said financial period; and
(c) the shareholders’ equity of RM37.20 million is less than 50% of the share capital of RM113.36 million at the end of the said financial period.
Paragraph 2.2 of GN3 dictates that the determination of whether any one or more of the Prescribed Criteria is fulfilled must be based on the latest audited or unaudited consolidated financial statements of the listed corporation. As such, the Company had used the latest unaudited figures for FPE 30 June 2023 or as at 30 June 2023 (where relevant) for the purposes of determining whether any of the Prescribed Criteria is fulfilled.
Based on the foregoing, Waja is now regarded as an affected listed corporation under GN3 (“GN3 Company”).
2. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY
As a GN3 Company, Waja is required to comply and regularise its condition in the following manner:
(i) submit to Bursa Securities a regularisation plan and obtain Bursa Securities’ approval to implement the plan within 12 months from the date of this announcement;
(ii) appoint a person who is registered on the register of sponsors maintained by Bursa Securities for the ACE Market (“Sponsor”) within 3 months from the date of this announcement and retain the said Sponsor until it is no longer considered as a GN3 Company by Bursa Securities under Rule 8.04(8) of the Listing Requirements;
(iii) implement the regularisation plan within 6 months from the date the regularisation plan is approved by Bursa Securities.
