Rationale For the Proposed Share Buy-Back By ViTrox Corporation Berhad (“ViTrox” or “the Company”) Of its Own
Ordinary Shares of RM0.10 Each (“Shares”) of up to 10% of its Existing Issued and Paid-Up Share Capital at any given
point in time (“Proposed Share Buy-Back”)
The Proposed Share Buy-Back, if exercised, would potentially benefit the Company and its shareholders as follows:-
a.
To allow the Company to take preventive measures against speculation particularly when its Shares are undervalued
which would in turn stabilise the market price of the Shares and hence, enhance investors’ confidence;
b.
To allow the Company flexibility in achieving the desired capital structure, in terms of the debt and equity composition,
and the size of equity; and
c.
The Purchased Shares may be held as treasury shares and distributed to shareholders as dividends and/or resold in the
open market with the intention of realising a potential capital gain if the Purchased Shares are resold at price(s) higher
than their purchase price(s).
3.
Retained Profits and Share Premium
Based on the audited financial statements of ViTrox as at 31 December 2008, the retained profits and share premium of the
Company stood at RM2,738,805 and RM1,222,055 respectively.
4.
Funding for the Proposed Share Buy-Back
