THIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY HIGHLIGHTS THE SALIENT INFORMATION OF THE OFFER. WE


ADVISE HOLDERS TO READ BOTH PART A: LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND PART B:
INDEPENDENT ADVICE LETTER FROM MERCURY SECURITIES (THE INDEPENDENT ADVISER)
FOR THEIR VIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN RELATION TO THE OFFER. THIS IAC SHOULD
ALSO BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE OFFER DOCUMENT.

1. INTRODUCTION

On 28 November 2019, CSSSB had entered into the SSA with MOSB for the Acquisition. The
SSA became unconditional on 14 February 2020 and the Acquisition was subsequently
completed on 27 February 2020.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, CSSSB’s shareholding in Caring had increased from
9,628,000 Caring Shares (representing approximately 4.42% of the total issued shares of
Caring) to 64,826,000 Caring Shares (representing approximately 29.78% of the total issued
shares of Caring). Further, TSVT, a major shareholder of SEM, and companies controlled by
him, namely Jitumaju Sdn Bhd and U Telemedia Sdn Bhd, hold 19,572,780 Caring Shares
(representing approximately 8.99% of the total issued shares of Caring). As such, upon
completion of the Acquisition, the collective shareholdings of CSSSB, TSVT, Jitumaju Sdn Bhd
and U Telemedia Sdn Bhd in Caring had increased from approximately 13.41% to
approximately 38.77%. Accordingly, CSSSB is obliged to extend a mandatory take-over offer
to acquire all the remaining Caring Shares not already held by it and PACs for a cash offer price
of RM2.60 per Caring Share pursuant to Section 218(2) of the CMSA and Paragraph 4.01(a)
of the Rules.

Since the collective shareholdings of CSSSB and PACs in Caring (the details of which are set
out in Section 1 in Part A of this IAC) have exceeded 50%, the Offer is unconditional as to
acceptances. Notwithstanding this, the Offer shall be extended to PACs.

As such, upon the SSA becoming unconditional on 14 February 2020, RHB Investment Bank
had, on behalf of the Offeror, served the Notice on the Board in accordance with Paragraph
9.10(1) of the Rules to acquire all the remaining Caring Shares not already held by the Offeror
for the Offer Price. The Board had, on the same day, announced the receipt of the Notice and
a copy of the Notice was subsequently despatched to the shareholders of Caring on 21
February 2020.

In accordance with Paragraph 3.06 of the Rules, Mercury Securities has been appointed as the
Independent Adviser on 12 December 2019 to provide comments, opinions, information and
recommendation on the Offer to the Holders, which shall be contained in this IAC.

In addition to this IAC, you should have by now received a copy of the Offer Document dated 6
March 2020 (together with the enclosed Form of Acceptance and Transfer) in relation to the
Offer.

As set out in the Offer Document:-

(i) SEM (being the holding company of CSSSB) is the Ultimate Offeror of the Offer;

(ii) the PACs as at the Offer Document LPD are:-


(a) TSVT;
(b) Jitumaju Sdn Bhd;

(iii) as at the Offer Document LPD, save for MOSB’s Undertaking, the Offeror, Ultimate
Offeror and PACs have not received any irrevocable undertaking from any other Holder
to accept or reject the Offer.

Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Rules, the SC has on 12 March 2020 notified that it has no further
comments on this IAC. However, such notification shall not be taken to suggest that the SC
agrees with the recommendations contained herein or assumes responsibility for the
correctness of any statements made or opinions or reports expressed in this IAC.

The purpose of this IAC is to provide you with relevant information on the Offer, the Non-
Interested Directors’ views and recommendation on the Offer as well as the recommendation
of Mercury Securities.

2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

The terms and conditions of the Offer include the following:-

Consideration for the Offer : The cash consideration for the Offer is RM2.60 per Offer
Share, subject to such reduction by an amount equivalent
to the net dividend and/or distribution for each Offer Share
declared, made and/or paid by Caring on or after the date
of the Notice but prior to the Closing Date, of which the
Holders are entitled to retain.

You may accept the Offer in respect of all or part of your


Offer Shares. The Offeror will not pay fractions of a sen to
the Accepting Holders and the cash consideration
payable to the Accepting Holders will be rounded down to
the nearest whole sen, where applicable.

Condition of the Offer : The Offer is not conditional upon any minimum level of
valid acceptances of the Offer Shares since the Offeror,
Ultimate Offeror and PACs already hold, in aggregate,
more than 50% of the voting shares in Caring.

Duration of the Offer : The Offer will remain open for acceptances until 5.00 p.m.
(Malaysian time) on 27 March 2020, being the First
Closing Date or such later date(s) as the Offeror may
decide. Any such extension will be announced by RHB
Investment Bank, on behalf of the Offeror, at least 2 days
before the Closing Date. Notice of any such extension will

full terms and conditions of the Offer as well as Appendix II of the Offer Document for the
procedures for acceptance and method of settlement of the Offer.

3. DETAILS OF ACCEPTANCES

As at the Offer Document LPD, save for MOSB’s Undertaking, the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and
PACs have not received any irrevocable commitment from any Holder to accept or reject the
Offer.

Based on announcements on Bursa Securities, the Offeror has received acceptances for a total
of 6,123,900 Offer Shares up to the LPD.

4. EVALUATION OF THE OFFER

In arriving at the conclusion and recommendation, Mercury Securities has assessed and
evaluated the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer in accordance with Paragraphs 1 to 6
under Schedule 2: Part III of the Rules, whereby:-

(i) The term "fair and reasonable” should generally be analysed as 2 distinct criteria, i.e.
whether the Offer is “fair” and whether the Offer is “reasonable”, rather than as a
composite term;

(ii) The Offer is considered as “fair” if the Offer Price is equal to or higher than the market
price and is also equal to or higher than the value of the Offer Shares. However, if the
Offer Price is equal to or higher than the market price but is lower than the value of the
Offer Shares, the Offer is considered as “not fair”. In making the assessment, the value
of the Offer Shares is determined based on the assumption that 100% of the issued
share capital of the Offeree is being acquired;

(iii) In considering whether the Offer is “reasonable”, we have taken into consideration
matters other than the valuation of the Offer Shares; and

(iv) Generally, a take-over offer would be considered “reasonable” if it is “fair”.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (cont’d)

4.1 FAIRNESS OF THE OFFER


(please refer to Section 6 in Part B of this IAC for further details)

In assessing the fairness of the Offer, Mercury Securities has considered the following
pertinent factors:-

Considerations

Valuation of the  The Caring Group operates a chain of community pharmacies


Caring Shares primarily under the brand of ‘CARiNG’ in Malaysia. As a retail
operator, the Group undertakes retail sales of pharmaceutical
products which include scheduled drugs, over-the-counter drugs
and health supplements, and also non-pharmaceutical products
like personal care products, medical and healthcare devices, health
food, confectionary, beverages, and household products (“Retail
Business”).

 In arriving at the value of the Caring Shares, Mercury Securities has


adopted the SOPV model as the sole valuation method in view that
the value of the Caring Group comprise (i) the Retail Business and
(ii) cash and cash equivalents of the Group which are considered
in excess of the Group’s working capital requirements in generating
income and/or cash flows for the Retail Business (“Surplus Cash”).
The SOPV represents the aggregate valuation of these
components which shall be valued based on the respective
appropriate valuation methods as follows:-

Business segment / Asset Valuation method


(i) Retail Business DCF
(ii) Surplus Cash NA

 Mercury Securities views the abovementioned valuation method to


be the most appropriate method to estimate the value of the Caring
Shares for the reasons as set out in Section 6.1 in Part B of this
IAC.

 Based on the SOPV model, Mercury Securities has derived a range


of estimated value for the entire equity interest in Caring of between
RM503.00 million (RM2.31 per Caring Share) and RM544.47
million (RM2.50 per Caring Share).

 The Offer Price of RM2.60 is higher than and represents a


premium of between RM0.10 (4.00%) and RM0.29 (12.55%) over
the abovementioned range of estimated value per Caring Share.

Historical market  The Offer Price is higher than the daily VWAPs* of the Caring
price performance Shares since the Listing and up to the LPD. It is also worth noting
of the Caring that the Caring Shares have never traded above the Offer Price
Shares since the Listing and up to the LPD.

 The Offer Price represents a premium of RM0.1000 (4.00%) over


the last traded market price of the Caring Shares on the LTD1 and
a premium of between RM0.1006 (4.02%) and RM0.5945 (29.64%)
over the 5-day, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year VWAPs* of
the Caring Shares up to the LTD1.

 The Offer Price represents a premium of RM0.0200 (0.78%) and


RM0.0199 (0.77%) over the last traded market price of the Caring
Shares on the LPD and the 5-day VWAP of the Caring Shares up
to the LPD respectively.

Note:-
* As extracted from Bloomberg which have been adjusted for the effects of
any dividends and corporate exercises throughout the period.

Mercury The Offer is FAIR in view that the Offer Price of RM2.60 is higher than
Securities’ view the estimated value and market price of the Caring Shares.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (cont’d)

4.2 REASONABLENESS OF THE OFFER


(please refer to Section 7 in Part B of this IAC for further details)

In assessing the reasonableness of the Offer, Mercury Securities has considered the
following pertinent factors:-

Considerations

Historical liquidity  The Caring Shares are illiquid, with a simple average monthly
analysis of the trading volume-to-free float for the past 12 months up to February
Caring Shares 2020 (being the last full trading month prior to the LPD) of 0.28%
(with an average monthly trading volume of 213,655 Caring
Shares) (excluding outlier). Further, the monthly trading volume-to-
free float of Caring Shares during the said period had been lower
than that of KLCSU as follows:-

Monthly volume traded over free float (%)


Index / Securities High Low Simple average

KLCSU 18.65 6.06 10.55

Caring Shares 0.66 0.11 0.28


(excluding outlier)*

Note:-
* We have excluded the trading volume of the Caring Shares in
February 2020 as an outlier (which is determined based on extreme
deviation from the average).

No alternative ● As at the LPD, the Board has not received any alternative proposal
proposal and level for the Offer Shares (including any offer to acquire the assets and
of control liabilities of the Caring Group).

● Further, in view that the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs hold
the majority equity stake of approximately 64.46%* in Caring as at
the Offer Document LPD, any alternative proposal will not be
successful unless with their support. In that respect, the Non-
Interested Directors do not intend to seek an alternative person to
make a take-over offer.

● Unless the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs are required to


abstain from voting on resolutions sought at shareholders’ general
meetings of the Company, they are able to (through casting of their
votes which represent 64.46%* of the total voting shares in
Caring):-

(i) vote through or vote down any ordinary resolutions (as such
resolutions only require approval from more than 50% of the
total votes cast); and

(ii) vote down any special resolutions (as such resolutions


require approval from at least 75% of the total votes cast).

Note:-
* Based on announcements on Bursa Securities, the Offeror has received
acceptances for a total of 6,123,900 Offer Shares (representing
approximately 2.81% equity interest in Caring) up to the LPD.

Mercury The Offer is REASONABLE as it provides an exit opportunity to the


Securities’ view Holders (especially for those holding a significant number of the Caring
Shares) to realise their investment in the Offer Shares for cash at the
Offer Price.

UNCONDITIONAL MANDATORY TAKE-OVER OFFER BY THE OFFEROR TO ACQUIRE ALL THE


REMAINING CARING SHARES NOT ALREADY HELD BY THE OFFEROR FOR A CASH OFFER
PRICE OF RM2.60 PER CARING SHARE

1. INTRODUCTION

On 28 November 2019, CSSSB had entered into the SSA with MOSB for the Acquisition. The
SSA became unconditional on 14 February 2020 and the Acquisition was subsequently
completed on 27 February 2020.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, CSSSB’s shareholding in Caring had increased from
9,628,000 Caring Shares (representing approximately 4.42% of the total issued shares of
Caring) to 64,826,000 Caring Shares (representing approximately 29.78% of the total issued
shares of Caring). Further, TSVT, a major shareholder of SEM, and companies controlled by
him, namely Jitumaju Sdn Bhd and U Telemedia Sdn Bhd, hold 19,572,780 Caring Shares
(representing approximately 8.99% of the total issued shares of Caring). As such, upon
completion of the Acquisition, the collective shareholdings of CSSSB, TSVT, Jitumaju Sdn Bhd
and U Telemedia Sdn Bhd in Caring had increased from approximately 13.41% to
approximately 38.77%. Accordingly, CSSSB is obliged to extend a mandatory take-over offer
to acquire all the remaining Caring Shares not already held by it and PACs for a cash offer price
of RM2.60 per Caring Share pursuant to Section 218(2) of the CMSA and Paragraph 4.01(a)

this, the Offer shall be extended to PACs.

9.10(1) of the Rules to acquire all the remaining Caring Shares not already held by the Offeror
for the Offer Price. The Board had, on the same day, announced the receipt of the Notice and

February 2020.

recommendation on the Offer to the Holders, which shall be contained in this IAC.

5. NON-INTERESTED DIRECTORS’ COMMENTS

5.1 Rationale for the Offer

The Non-Interested Directors have noted the rationale for the Offer as set out in Section
3 of the Offer Document.

The Non-Interested Directors take cognisance that:-

(i) the Offer is a mandatory obligation by the Offeror pursuant to Section 218(2) of
the CMSA and Paragraph 4.01(a) of the Rules as a result of the increase in
collective shareholdings of CSSSB, TSVT, Jitumaju Sdn Bhd and U Telemedia
Sdn Bhd in Caring from approximately 13.41% to approximately 38.77%
following the Acquisition;

(ii) in view that both SEM Group and Caring Group operate within similar retail
sector, the Acquisition and the Offer are part of the SEM Group’s strategy to
expand its network / reach and diversify its products and customer base, which
in turn are expected to further improve the performance of the SEM Group.
Depending on the eventual level of acceptances received by the Offeror, the
Offer provides an opportunity for the SEM Group to increase its shareholdings
in Caring to above 50%, thus allowing the SEM Group to recognise Caring as
a subsidiary and consolidate the financial results of the Caring Group; and

4
(iii) the Offer will provide the Holders with an opportunity to realise their investment
in Caring Shares for cash at a premium over the market price of Caring Shares.

Whilst the SEM Group also rationalise the Acquisition and the Offer in terms of
opportunity for cross-selling of products, expansion of e-commerce sales channel by
leveraging on each other’s network and infrastructure as well as streamlining the
shared business operations including warehousing, distribution and procurement
functions, the Caring Group is not privy to full details of the SEM Group’s future plans
and accordingly, any expected benefits to be derived by the Caring Group could not be
ascertained at this juncture.

Please refer to Section 7 in Part A of this IAC for the Non-Interested Directors’
recommendation in relation to the Offer.

5.2 Future plans for the Caring Group and its employees

The Non-Interested Directors take note of the current intentions of the Offeror and
Ultimate Offeror in relation to the future plans for the Caring Group and its employees
after the completion of the Offer as stated in Section 5 of the Offer Document.

The current intentions of the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror in relation to the future plans
for the Caring Group and its employees after the completion of the Offer are set out
below:-

(i) Continuation of the Caring Group’s business

The Offeror and Ultimate Offeror intend to continue with the existing businesses
and operations of the Caring Group. Through the ‘CARiNG’ outlets, the SEM
Group will, among others, have immediate access to a new network of retail
stores which are mostly situated in shopping malls and is able to widen its
product range by incorporating appropriate products from Caring Group’s
product range. Both groups of companies will be able to cross-sell their
respective products in ‘7-Eleven’ and ‘CARiNG’ outlets thereby providing a
more comprehensive range of products that would bring additional
convenience to customers and ultimately improve customer experience.

(ii) Major changes to the Caring Group’s business

The Offeror and Ultimate Offeror do not have any plan and/or intention to
liquidate any company within the Caring Group, dispose any major asset or
undertake any major re-deployment of the fixed assets of the Caring Group or
introduce or effect any major change to the existing businesses of the Caring
Group as a direct consequence of the Offer except where such change,
disposal and/or redeployment is necessary as part of the process to rationalise
the business activities and/or direction of Caring Group or to improve the use
of resources of Caring Group.

(iii) Employees of the Caring Group

The Offeror and Ultimate Offeror do not have any plan at this juncture to dismiss
or make redundant the existing employees of Caring Group as a direct
consequence of the Offer. However, it should be noted that some changes with
regards to employment and/or redeployment of the Caring Group’s employees
may take place as a result of rationalisation and/or streamlining of business
activities to improve the productivity and efficiency of the enlarged group.

Notwithstanding the above, the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror shall retain the flexibility to
consider options and/or potential opportunities as they consider fit and in the best
interests of the enlarged group which may include strategic investments,
rationalisations and/or restructuring of the Caring Group.

5
As at the Offer Document LPD, save for MOSB’s Undertaking, the Offeror and Ultimate
Offeror have not entered into any negotiation or arrangement or understanding with any
third party in relation to any significant change in the businesses and assets of the
Caring Group or the shareholding structure of Caring.

In view of the above, the Non-Interested Directors note that the future plans of the
Offeror and Ultimate Offeror are generally in line with the rationale for the Acquisition
and the Offer.

5.3 Listing status of Caring

The Non-Interested Directors take note that the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror do not
intend to maintain the listing status of Caring on the Main Market of Bursa
Securities and as such, they will not be taking steps to address any shortfall in the
public shareholding spread of Caring.

In the event 90% or more of the Caring Shares are held by the Offeror either individually
or jointly with its associates pursuant to the Offer, the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror will
procure Caring to take the requisite steps to withdraw its listing status from the Official
List in accordance with Paragraph 16.07 of the Listing Requirements.

However, if more than 75% but less than 90% of the Caring Shares are held by the
Offeror either individually or jointly with its associates pursuant to the Offer, the Offeror
and Ultimate Offeror may request that Caring makes the necessary application to
withdraw its listing status from the Official List pursuant to Paragraph 16.06 of the
Listing Requirements.

If Caring is delisted from the Official List, Caring Shares will no longer be traded on the
Main Market of Bursa Securities.

Please refer to Section 8 in Part B of this IAC for further details.

5.4 Compulsory acquisition and rights of Dissenting Holders

(i) Compulsory acquisition

The Non-Interested Directors take note that in the event the Offeror receives
valid acceptances from the Holders of not less than nine-tenths (9/10) in the
nominal value of the shares in Caring (excluding the Caring Shares already
held by the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs as at the date of the Offer) on
or before the Closing Date, the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror intend to invoke
the provisions of Section 222(1) of the CMSA, subject to Section 224 of the
CMSA, to compulsorily acquire any remaining Offer Shares for which
acceptances have not been received on or prior to the Closing Date
(“Compulsory Acquisition”).

(ii) Rights of Dissenting Holders

The Non-Interested Directors take note that subject to Section 224 of the
CMSA, if the Offeror receives valid acceptances from the Holders resulting in
the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs holding not less than nine-tenths (9/10)
in the value of all the shares in Caring on or before the Closing Date, a
Dissenting Holder may exercise his rights under Section 223(1) of the CMSA
by serving a notice on the Offeror to require the Offeror to acquire his Offer
Shares on the same terms as set out in the Offer Document or such other terms
as may be agreed.

6
(iii) Modified approach in relation to the computation of thresholds relating to the
Compulsory Acquisition and the rights of the Dissenting Holders

The Non-Interested Directors take note that on 6 February 2020, the board of
directors of SEM had announced that in view of the disposals of a total of
29,562,000 Caring Shares by certain persons who are deemed to be PACs of
CSSSB without the prior consent of the SC as required under Paragraph 19.01
of the Rules and for purposes of good governance, the board of directors of
SEM has decided to adopt a modified approach in computing the number of
valid acceptances required to invoke the Compulsory Acquisition.

Please refer to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the Offer Document as well as Section 9 in Part
B of this IAC for further details.

5. EVALUATION OF THE OFFER

In arriving at our conclusion and recommendation, we have assessed and evaluated the fairness
and reasonableness of the Offer in accordance with Paragraphs 1 to 6 under Schedule 2: Part
III of the Rules, whereby:-

(i) The term "fair and reasonable” should generally be analysed as 2 distinct criteria, i.e.
whether the Offer is “fair” and whether the Offer is “reasonable”, rather than as a
composite term;

(ii) The Offer is considered as “fair” if the Offer Price is equal to or higher than the market
price and is also equal to or higher than the value of the Offer Shares. However, if the
Offer Price is equal to or higher than the market price but is lower than the value of the
Offer Shares, the Offer is considered as “not fair”. In making the assessment, the value
of the Offer Shares is determined based on the assumption that 100% of the issued
share capital of the Offeree is being acquired;

(iii) In considering whether the Offer is “reasonable”, we have taken into consideration
matters other than the valuation of the Offer Shares; and

(iv) Generally, a take-over offer would be considered “reasonable” if it is “fair”.

We have considered the following pertinent factors in our evaluation of the Offer:-

Fairness of the Offer Section 6


 Valuation of the Caring Shares Section 6.1
 Historical market price performance of the Caring Shares Section 6.2

Reasonableness of the Offer Section 7


 Historical liquidity analysis of the Caring Shares Section 7.1
 No alternative proposal and level of control Section 7.2

6. FAIRNESS OF THE OFFER

6.1 Valuation of the Caring Shares

The Caring Group operates a chain of community pharmacies primarily under the brand
of ‘CARiNG’ in Malaysia. As a retail operator, the Group undertakes retail sales of
pharmaceutical products which include scheduled drugs, over-the-counter drugs and
health supplements, and also non-pharmaceutical products like personal care products,
medical and healthcare devices, health food, confectionary, beverages, and household
products (“Retail Business”).

As at 30 November 2019, the Group has a total of 132 community pharmacies and 1
clinic. As set out in the annual report of Caring for the FYE 31 May 2019, the Group has
embarked on a strategic 5-year transformation plan (codenamed Project V1B) with an
objective to exceed RM1 billion in revenue and a vision to have 200 outlets across all
cities and major towns in Malaysia by 2024.

In arriving at the value of the Caring Shares, we have adopted the SOPV model as our
sole valuation method in view that the value of the Caring Group comprise (i) the Retail
Business and (ii) cash and cash equivalents of the Group which are considered in
excess of the Group’s working capital requirements in generating income and/or cash
flows for the Retail Business (“Surplus Cash”). The SOPV represents the aggregate
valuation of these components which shall be valued based on the respective
appropriate valuation methods as follows:-

Business segment / Asset Valuation method


(i) Retail Business DCF
(ii) Surplus Cash NA

We view the SOPV model to be the most appropriate method to estimate the value of
the Caring Shares for the following reasons:-

(A) Retail Business

We view the DCF valuation model as the most appropriate method to estimate
the value of the Retail Business as the method is able to effectively factor in the
earnings and cash flows potential of the business as well as the timing of such
cash flows to be generated. The DCF valuation model considers both the time
value of money and the future cash flows to be generated by the Retail Business
over a specified period of time. As the methodology entails the discounting of
the future cash flows to be generated from the Retail Business at a specified
discount rate to arrive at its value, the riskiness of generating such cash flows
will also be taken into consideration.

Under the DCF valuation method, the FCFE projected to be generated from the
Retail Business is discounted at an appropriate cost of equity to derive the
present value of all future cash flows from the Retail Business attributable to the
shareholders of Caring.

We have reviewed the future financial information of the Retail Business for the
FYE 31 May 2020 until the FYE 31 May 2024 (“Future Financials”), which was
prepared by the management of Caring based on estimate on a best-effort
basis.

We have considered and evaluated the key bases and assumptions adopted in
the Future Financials and we are satisfied that the key bases and assumptions
used in the preparation of the Future Financials are reasonable given the
prevailing circumstances and significant factors that are known as at the LPD.

12
12
The Future Financials (together with the bases and assumptions adopted
therein) have been reviewed and approved by the Board. The key bases and
assumptions adopted in the preparation of the Future Financials are as follows:-

(i) the Retail Business will continue to operate on a going concern basis
and is expected to sustain its operations in perpetuity;

(ii) there will not be any significant change in the consumer retail industry
landscape which will affect, amongst others, the supply and demand
conditions as well as pricing of products and the market share of
existing players;

(iii) there will not be any significant or material increase in costs which is
expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial results, cash
flows or business prospects of the Retail Business. The increase in
operating costs will be in tandem with sales and/or inflationary effects;

(iv) there will not be any major disruptions to the business operations which
may have a material adverse impact on the financial results, cash flows
or business prospects of the Retail Business, including towards the
attainment of the Group’s objectives under the Project V1B;

(v) the Group will continue to expand its market presence / reach (with
renewed focus at peripheral towns outside Klang Valley and other major
cities in both Peninsular and East Malaysia) by setting up new wholly-
owned and partially-owned outlets (in similar proportion as current
business operations). Further, it is assumed that the Group will be able
to identify and secure strategic locations at reasonable purchase price
or rental rate for the setting up of new outlets;

(vi) sufficient funds will be available or obtainable to finance the working


capital requirements and capital expenditure of the Retail Business
without any material adverse effect on its financial results, cash flows
or business prospects;

(vii) there will not be any significant or material changes in the principal
activities of the Caring Group. For the purpose of the Future Financials,
the FCFE from operations of the clinic has not been considered in view
of the management’s intention to discontinue the said operations, taking
into consideration the insignificant revenue contribution (approximately
0.01% of the Caring Group’s average monthly revenue for the 6-month
FPE 30 November 2019) and loss making position of the clinic (which
commenced operations during the financial quarter ended 30
November 2019) as well as uncertainties involved in respect of the new
business venture;

(viii) there will not be any significant or material changes to the agreements,
contracts, licenses and regulations governing the Retail Business;

(ix) the current accounting policies adopted by the Caring Group will remain
relevant and there will not be any significant changes in the accounting
policies of the Caring Group which may have a material adverse effect
on the financial performance and financial position of the Retail
Business; and

(x) there will not be any significant or material changes in political, social
and economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and
regulatory requirements relating to the Retail Business in Malaysia.

In order to derive the value of the Retail Business, we have discounted the FCFE projected to be generated from the said business at an appropriate cost of equity to
reflect the rate of return required by the shareholders of Caring. Our valuation, together with the key bases and assumptions adopted, are as follows:-

No Key bases and assumptions Descriptions

(i) FCFE Based on the Future FCFE is the free cash flows from operations available to the equity holders of a company after taking into
Financials for the consideration all operating expenses, movements in working capital, net investing cash flows and net
FYE 31 May 2020 until financing cash flows.
the FYE 31 May 2024
We have reviewed the key bases and assumptions adopted in the Future Financials prepared by the
management of Caring in deriving the FCFE and we are satisfied that they are reasonable given the
prevailing circumstances and significant factors that are known as at the LPD.

(ii) Cost of equity (“Ke”) 6.67% to 6.92% Cost of equity represents the rate of return required by an investor on the cash flow streams generated
by the business given the risks associated with the cash flows. In deriving the cost of equity for the Retail
(based on the expected Business, we have adopted the Capital Asset Pricing Model and derived an estimated cost of equity
capital structure for the ranging between 6.67% and 6.92% with the following inputs:-
respective financial year)
Ke = Rf + β (Rm – Rf)

(iii) Risk-free rate of return (“Rf”) 2.89% Risk-free rate of return represents the expected rate of return from a risk-free investment. The closest
available approximation of the risk-free rate of return is the yield of 10-year Malaysian Government
Securities. As extracted from Bloomberg, the said yield is 2.89% per annum as at the LTD2.

(iv) Expected market rate of return (“Rm”) 9.95% Expected market rate of return represents the expected rate of return for investing in a portfolio consisting
of a weighted sum of assets representing the entire equity market.

In our opinion, the expected rate of return for FTSE Bursa Malaysia Top 100 Index is a good indicator of
the equity market return in Malaysia. Given the volatility of the stock market and market cycles, we view
that a 10-year historical expected rate of return of the said index is an appropriate estimate of the expected
market rate of return as it normalises the year-on-year fluctuations of the stock market and mitigates
market bias. Based on the information sourced from Bloomberg, we have derived an average expected
market rate of return in Malaysia of 9.95% per annum for the past 10 years up to the LTD2.

(v) Beta (“β”) 0.535 to 0.570 Beta is the sensitivity of an asset’s returns to the changes in market returns. It measures the correlation
of systematic risk between the said asset and the market. A beta of more than 1 signifies that the asset

capital structure for the
respective financial year) In deriving the estimated beta for the Retail Business, we have relied on the 3-year historical beta up to
the LTD2 of companies listed on Bursa Securities with a market capitalisation of between RM500.00
million and RM1,000.00 million, which are principally involved in the consumer retail industry(1) involving
the distribution of consumer products including but not limited to medical and healthcare products, health
supplements, personal care products, food and beverages and basic household products. As the
historical beta extracted from Bloomberg is based on the capital structure of the respective companies,
we have un-levered the beta and re-levered the beta based on the expected capital structure of the Retail
Business (with a debt to equity ratio ranging from 0.15 times to 0.25 times based on the Future
Financials). Based on our computation, the re-levered beta of the Retail Business ranges from 0.535 to
0.570.

Note:-
(1) There is no company listed on Bursa Securities which is identical to the Retail Business. Whilst we noted that
the companies may have different business models and offer different products, we view that the identified
companies are adequately comparable to the Retail Business and are reasonable to be adopted for the
purposes of deriving the estimated beta of the industry.

(vi) Perpetuity growth rate (“g”) 1.50% to 2.00% For the period beyond the FYE 31 May 2024, we have adopted a range of perpetuity growth rate of 1.50%
to 2.00% on the FCFE, which we view as reasonable after taking into consideration, amongst others, the
long-term growth prospects of the Retail Business and the consumer retail industry in Malaysia. As a
cross-check, we have considered the following factors:-

(a) in 2020, the wholesale and retail trade subsector is projected to increase 7% (source: Economic
Outlook 2020, Ministry of Finance);

(b) the headline inflation (which is a measure of the general annual increase in the consumer price
index that represents the weighted average price of a basket of consumer goods and services) in
2018 was 1.0% while the headline inflation for the months in 2019 ranges from -0.7% to 1.5%
(source: Bank Negara Malaysia);

(c) inflation is projected to expand 2% in 2020, mainly due to the expected introduction of targeted
fuel subsidy (source: Economic Outlook 2020, Ministry of Finance); and

(d) Malaysia’s gross domestic product growth in 2020 is estimated to be in the range of 3.2% to 4.2%
(source: Economic Stimulus Package 2020, Ministry of Finance).

Therefrom, we derived the terminal value (in present terms) for the Retail Business of between RM330.50
million and RM371.97 million based on the formula set out below.

15

No Key bases and assumptions Descriptions

(vii) Statutory corporate income tax rate 24% The latest Malaysian statutory corporate income tax rate applicable to the Retail Business is 24%.

Value of the Retail Business ranging from The formula used to derive the value of the Retail Business is as follows:-
RM394.53 million to
RM436.00 million Value of the = Present value of projected FCFE + Present value of terminal value(2)
Retail Business based on the Future Financials(1)

Notes:-
(1) Computed based on the following formula:-

Present value of FCFE = FCFE

whereby, n represents time in number of years into the future.

(2) Computed based on the following formula:-

Present value of terminal value = Expected sustainable level of FCFE x (1+g)


(Ke - g) x (1 + Ke)n

whereby, n represents the year in which the expected sustainable level of FCFE is derived.

(B) Surplus Cash

As the Surplus Cash is considered in excess of the Group’s working capital


requirements in generating income and/or cash flows for the Retail Business,
the value of the Surplus Cash is assessed separately.

In deriving the value of the Surplus Cash, we use the unaudited carrying
amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Group as at 30 November 2019
and after deducting the funds required for the Group’s lease liabilities, short-
term borrowings and cash float requirements for the outlets, as set out below:-

(C) SOPV for the Caring Shares

Based on the SOPV model, we have derived a range of estimated value for the
entire equity interest in Caring of between RM503.00 million (RM2.31 per
Caring Share) and RM544.47 million (RM2.50 per Caring Share):-

The Offer Price of RM2.60 is higher than and represents a premium of between
RM0.10 (4.00%) and RM0.29 (12.55%) over the range of estimated value per Caring
Share derived using the SOPV method of RM2.31 and RM2.50.

Considering the market position of the Caring Group as one of the leading operators of
community pharmacies in Malaysia, we are of the view that greater emphasis should
be placed on the high range of the valuation i.e. RM2.50 per Caring Share, against
which the Offer Price represents a marginal premium of 4.00%.

6.2 Historical market price performance of the Caring Shares

The graph below sets out the historical daily VWAPs of the Caring Shares (extracted
from Bloomberg which have been adjusted for the effects of any dividends and
corporate exercises throughout the period) since the Listing and up to the LPD:-

(Source: Bloomberg)

Based on the graph above, the Offer Price is higher than the daily VWAPs of the
Caring Shares since the Listing and up to the LPD. It is also worth noting that the Caring
Shares have never traded above the Offer Price since the Listing and up to the LPD.

From 1 August 2019 and up to the LPD, the daily VWAPs of the Caring Shares had
been trending upwards and reached a high of RM2.5900 (on 4 March 2020). The
increase in the historical market prices of the Caring Shares during the said period may
have been contributed by the following:-

(i) acquisitions of Caring Shares by CSSSB and TSVT via open market purchases
and/or direct business transactions from August 2019 to January 2020 (see
further details in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 in Appendix V of the Offer Document).
For information purposes, the total Caring Shares acquired by CSSSB via open
market purchases represents approximately 71.52% of the total trading volume
of Caring Shares in the open market during the said period;

(ii) announcement by SEM of the Acquisition and the Offer on 28 November 2019
(which were subsequently approved by the shareholders of SEM at its
extraordinary general meeting held on 7 February 2020); and

(iii) serving of the Notice on 14 February 2020.

18

18
Save for the abovementioned and the announcements of the Group’s financial
performance (see table below), there is no significant event being announced since the
Listing and up to the LPD which may have materially impacted the historical market
price performance of the Caring Shares during the said period.

In addition, the principal activities of the Caring Group have remained unchanged since
the Listing and up to the LPD save for the establishment of new outlets under its chain
of community pharmacies and a clinic (during the financial quarter ended 30 November
2019).

Further, the Offer Price is yielding the following premium to the historical closing market

Our view on the fairness of the Offer:-

Based on our analysis as set out in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 in Part B of this IAC, we view the Offer
as FAIR in view that the Offer Price of RM2.60:-

(i) is higher than and represents a premium of between RM0.10 (4.00%) and RM0.29
(12.55%) over the range of estimated value per Caring Share derived using the SOPV
method of RM2.31 and RM2.50;

(ii) is higher than the daily VWAPs* of the Caring Shares since the Listing and up to the
LPD and the Caring Shares have never traded above the Offer Price since the Listing
and up to the LPD;

(iii) represents a premium of RM0.1000 (4.00%) over the last traded market price of the
Caring Shares on the LTD1 and a premium of between RM0.1006 (4.02%) and
RM0.5945 (29.64%) over the 5-day, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year VWAPs*
of the Caring Shares up to the LTD1; and

(iv) represents a premium of RM0.0200 (0.78%) and RM0.0199 (0.77%) over the last
traded market price of the Caring Shares on the LPD and the 5-day VWAP of the Caring
Shares up to the LPD respectively.

* As extracted from Bloomberg which have been adjusted for the effects of any dividends and corporate
exercises throughout the period.

You are advised to closely monitor the market prices of the Caring Shares and evaluate the
Offer Price before deciding whether to accept or reject the Offer for your Offer Shares prior to
the Closing Date. If you so wish and if the trading liquidity permits, you may consider disposing
of your Caring Shares in the open market in the event the market prices of Caring Shares are
higher than the Offer Price, after taking into consideration the associated transaction costs and
assuming that there will not be any revision to the Offer Price.

shareholders of Caring as well as those retained as treasury shares by Caring as at the
end of the respective months, if any.

We have further noted that the trading volume-to-free float of Caring Shares had been
lower than the trading volume for KLCSU during the same period as shown in the graph
below:-

(Sources: Bloomberg and announcements on Bursa Securities)

Monthly volume traded over free float (%)


Index / Securities High Low Simple average

KLCSU 18.65 6.06 10.55

Caring Shares (excluding outlier)* 0.66 0.11 0.28

Note:-
* We have excluded the trading volume of the Caring Shares in February 2020 as an outlier (which
is determined based on extreme deviation from the average).

Based on our analysis, there was a significant increase in the trading volume of the
Caring Shares in February 2020, which may have been contributed by the approval of
the Acquisition and the Offer by shareholders of SEM on 7 February 2020 and
thereafter, the serving of the Notice on 14 February 2020. Hence, we have excluded
the trading volume of the Caring Shares in February 2020 for the purpose of our
assessment.

Save for the abovementioned, there is no significant event being announced for the
past 12 months up to February 2020 (being the last full trading month prior to the LPD)
which may have materially impacted the trading volume of the Caring Shares during
the said period.

22

22
Comments:-

The Caring Shares are illiquid, with a simple average monthly trading volume-to-free
float for the past 12 months up to February 2020 (being the last full trading month prior
to the LPD) of 0.28% (with an average monthly trading volume of 213,655 Caring
Shares) (excluding outlier). Further, the monthly trading volume-to-free float of Caring
Shares during the said period had been lower than that of KLCSU (which ranges from
6.06% to 18.65%, with a simple average of 10.55%).

If the Offeror accumulates a higher shareholding level as a result of valid acceptances


received pursuant to the Offer and/or via further acquisitions, the liquidity of the Caring
Shares and the Holders’ ability to dispose of their Caring Shares in the open market
after the Closing Date may be further constrained.

Considering the above, the Offer represents an avenue for the Holders (especially for
those holding a significant number of the Caring Shares) to realise their investment in
the Caring Shares for cash at the Offer Price.

However, the above evaluation is based on the historical trading volume of the Caring
Shares for the respective periods as well as the free float as at the respective dates
and should not be relied upon as an indication of the future trading liquidity of the Caring
Shares, which may be influenced by amongst others, the performance and prospects
of the Caring Group, prevailing economic conditions, economic outlook, stock market
conditions, market sentiments and other general macroeconomic conditions as well as
company-specific factors.

7.2 No alternative proposal and level of control

As at the LPD, the Board has not received any alternative proposal for the Offer Shares
(including any offer to acquire the assets and liabilities of the Caring Group).

In the absence of an alternative proposal, the Offer presents an opportunity for the
Holders to realise their investment in the Offer Shares for cash at the Offer Price.

Further, in view that the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs hold the majority equity
stake of approximately 64.46%* in Caring as at the Offer Document LPD, any
alternative proposal will not be successful unless with their support. In that respect, the
Non-Interested Directors do not intend to seek an alternative person to make a take-
over offer.

Unless the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs are required to abstain from voting on
resolutions sought at shareholders’ general meetings of the Company, they are able to
(through casting of their votes which represent 64.46%* of the total voting shares in
Caring):-

(i) vote through or vote down any ordinary resolutions (as such resolutions only
require approval from more than 50% of the total votes cast); and

(ii) vote down any special resolutions (as such resolutions require approval from
at least 75% of the total votes cast).

Note:-
* Based on announcements on Bursa Securities, the Offeror has received acceptances for a total of
6,123,900 Offer Shares (representing approximately 2.81% equity interest in Caring) up to the LPD.

Our view on the reasonableness of the Offer:-

Based on our analysis as set out in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 in Part B of this IAC, we view the Offer
as REASONABLE as it provides an exit opportunity to the Holders (especially for those holding
a significant number of the Caring Shares) to realise their investment in the Offer Shares for
cash at the Offer Price.

8. LISTING STATUS OF CARING

(i) Provisions of the Listing Requirements

Paragraph 8.02(1) of the Listing Requirements stipulates the Public Spread


Requirement, whereby a listed issuer must ensure that at least 25% of its total listed
shares (excluding treasury shares) are in the hands of public shareholders to ensure
its continued listing on the Main Market of Bursa Securities. Bursa Securities may
accept a percentage lower than 25% of the total number of listed shares (excluding
treasury shares) if it is satisfied that such lower percentage is sufficient for a liquid
market in such shares.

The non-compliance with the Public Spread Requirement will not automatically result
in the delisting of the listed issuer. A listed issuer which fails to maintain the required
public shareholding spread may request for an extension of time to rectify the situation
in the manner as may be prescribed by Bursa Securities. Where no extension of time
is granted by Bursa Securities or the non-compliance with the Public Spread
Requirement is not rectified within the timeframe, Bursa Securities may take or impose
any type of action or penalty pursuant to Paragraph 16.19 of the Listing Requirements
for a breach of Paragraph 8.02(1) of the Listing Requirements, which may include
suspension of trading of the securities of the listed issuer pursuant to Paragraph
16.02(1) of the Listing Requirements and delisting of the listed issuer.

Further, subject to Paragraph 16.02(3) of the Listing Requirements (as detailed below),
where the public shareholding spread of a listed issuer is 10% or less of its total listed
shares (excluding treasury shares), Bursa Securities shall suspend trading of the
securities of the listed issuer upon expiry of 30 Market Days from the date of immediate
announcement by the listed issuer pursuant to Paragraph 8.02(3) of the Listing
Requirements, where the Public Spread Requirement is not met. In this regard, the
suspension will only be uplifted upon the listed issuer’s full compliance with the Public
Spread Requirement or as may be determined by Bursa Securities.

In accordance with Paragraph 16.02(3) of the Listing Requirements, Bursa Securities


shall suspend the trading of the securities of the listed issuer upon expiry of 5 Market
Days from the close of the take-over offer if the listed issuer has made an
announcement that the offeror does not intend to maintain the listed issuer’s listing
status pursuant to Paragraph 9.19(48) of the Listing Requirements. Paragraph 9.19(48)
of the Listing Requirements requires that in relation to a take-over offer, an immediate
announcement must be made by the listed issuer upon 90% or more of the listed shares
(excluding treasury shares) of the listed issuer being held by a shareholder either
individually or jointly with associates of the said shareholder. Thereafter, the listed
issuer may withdraw its listing from the Official List in accordance with Paragraph 16.07
of the Listing Requirements.

Notwithstanding the above, a listed issuer may request to withdraw its listing from the
Official List if:-

(a) the listed issuer convenes a general meeting to obtain its shareholders’
approval and a separate meeting for the approval of the holders of any other
class of listed securities, if applicable;

(b) the passing of the resolution for the withdrawal of listing is subject to the
following conditions:-

(1) the resolution is approved by a majority of shareholders and holders


of any other class of listed securities, if applicable, in number,
representing 75% of the total number of issued securities held by the
shareholders and other securities holders respectively, present and
voting either in person or by proxy at each meeting; and

24

24
(2) the number of votes cast against the resolution, if any, by each class
of listed securities respectively, if applicable, is not more than 10% of
the total number of issued securities held by the shareholders and
other securities holders respectively, present and voting either in
person or by proxy at each meeting.

Where the constituent document of the listed issuer imposes a stricter condition
in respect of the votes required to approve the withdrawal of listing, such stricter
condition will apply in substitution of the foregoing provision;

(c) the shareholders and holders of any other class of listed securities, if
applicable, are offered a reasonable cash alternative or other reasonable
alternative (“Exit Offer”); and

(d) the listed issuer appoints an independent adviser, which meets the approval of
the independent directors, to advise and make recommendations for the
consideration of the shareholders and holders of any other class of listed
securities, if applicable, in connection with the withdrawal of its listing as well
as the fairness and reasonableness of the Exit Offer.

(ii) Intention of the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror

The Offeror and Ultimate Offeror do not intend to maintain the listing status of
Caring on the Main Market of Bursa Securities and as such, they will not be taking
steps to address any shortfall in the public shareholding spread of Caring.

In the event 90% or more of the Caring Shares are held by the Offeror either individually
or jointly with its associates pursuant to the Offer, the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror will
procure Caring to take the requisite steps to withdraw its listing status from the Official
List in accordance with Paragraph 16.07 of the Listing Requirements.

However, if more than 75% but less than 90% of the Caring Shares are held by the
Offeror either individually or jointly with its associates pursuant to the Offer, the Offeror
and Ultimate Offeror may request that Caring makes the necessary application to
withdraw its listing status from the Official List pursuant to Paragraph 16.06 of the
Listing Requirements.

If Caring is delisted from the Official List, Caring Shares will no longer be traded on the
Main Market of Bursa Securities.

(iii) Comments

Should there be any suspension in trading / delisting of the Caring Shares consequent
to the circumstances above, the Holders will not be able to trade these securities on
the Main Market of Bursa Securities.

You are advised to closely monitor any press releases and/or announcements made in
relation to the Offer, particularly on the level of acceptances and non-compliance with
the Public Spread Requirement (if any).

9. COMPULSORY ACQUISITION AND RIGHTS OF DISSENTING HOLDERS

(i) Compulsory acquisition

As set out in Section 4.2 of the Offer Document, in the event the Offeror receives valid
acceptances from the Holders of not less than nine-tenths (9/10) in the nominal value
of the shares in Caring (excluding the Caring Shares already held by the Offeror,
Ultimate Offeror and PACs as at the date of the Offer) on or before the Closing Date,
the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror intend to invoke the provisions of Section 222(1)
of the CMSA, subject to Section 224 of the CMSA, to compulsorily acquire any
remaining Offer Shares for which acceptances have not been received on or prior to
the Closing Date (“Compulsory Acquisition”).

In accordance with Section 224(1) of the CMSA, where a notice is given under Section
222(1) of the CMSA, the court may, on an application made by any Dissenting Holder
within 1 month from the date on which the notice was given by the Offeror, order that
the Offeror shall not be entitled and shall not be bound to acquire the Offer Shares of
any Dissenting Holder, or specify terms of acquisition that are different from the terms
of the Offer.

(ii) Rights of Dissenting Holders

As set out in Section 4.2 of the Offer Document, subject to Section 224 of the CMSA, if
the Offeror receives valid acceptances from the Holders resulting in the Offeror,
Ultimate Offeror and PACs holding not less than nine-tenths (9/10) in the value of all
the shares in Caring on or before the Closing Date (“Section 223 Threshold”), a
Dissenting Holder may exercise his rights under Section 223(1) of the CMSA by serving
a notice on the Offeror to require the Offeror to acquire his Offer Shares on the same
terms as set out in the Offer Document or such other terms as may be agreed.

In accordance with Section 224(3) of the CMSA, when a Dissenting Holder exercises
his rights under Section 223(1) of the CMSA, the court may, on an application made by
such Dissenting Holder or the Offeror, order that the terms on which the Offeror shall
acquire such Offer Shares shall be as the court thinks fit.

Section 223(2) of the CMSA requires the Offeror to give the Dissenting Holders a notice
in the manner specified by the SC of the rights exercisable by the Dissenting Holders
under Section 223(1) of the CMSA, within 1 month from the fulfilment of the Section
223 Threshold. Such notice may specify the period for the exercise of the rights of the
Dissenting Holders, which shall, in any event, be no less than 3 months after the Closing
Date.

We wish to advise that if you have become entitled to and wish to exercise your rights
under Section 223 of the CMSA, you should consult your legal adviser immediately.

(iii) Modified approach in relation to the computation of thresholds relating to the
Compulsory Acquisition and the rights of the Dissenting Holders

As set out in Section 4.3 of the Offer Document, on 6 February 2020, the board of
directors of SEM had announced that in view of the disposals of a total of 29,562,000
Caring Shares by certain persons who are deemed to be PACs of CSSSB (“Parties”)
without the prior consent of the SC as required under Paragraph 19.01 of the Rules
(“Affected Caring Shares”) and for purposes of good governance, the board of
directors of SEM has decided to adopt a modified approach (“Modified Approach”) in
computing the number of valid acceptances required to invoke the Compulsory
Acquisition, as follows:-

No. of Caring No. of No. of


No. of Caring Shares
Shares in issue Affected Affected
x − held by CSSSB and
9/10 + Caring + Caring
as at the Posting PACs as at the Posting
Shares Shares
Date Date
disposed disposed

For information purposes, the Modified Approach is intended to restore the


shareholdings of the PACs in Caring as at the Posting Date to a level that would have
prevailed had the Affected Caring Shares not been disposed by the Parties, in
determining the threshold of valid acceptances required for CSSSB to invoke the
Compulsory Acquisition. Based on the Modified Approach, the threshold of valid
acceptances required to invoke the Compulsory Acquisition will be higher.

In addition, with regards to the provisions of Section 223 of the CMSA, a similar
adjustment will be applied in determining the level of valid acceptances that CSSSB
and PACs must achieve whereupon a Dissenting Holder may exercise his rights to
require CSSSB to acquire his Offer Shares. Such adjustment will enable the Dissenting
Holder to exercise his rights under Section 223 of the CMSA at a lower threshold.

Solely for illustrative purposes, a comparison of the computations of the required


thresholds in connection with the Compulsory Acquisition and the rights of the
Dissenting Holders as prescribed under the CMSA and under the Modified Approach,
calculated based on the shareholdings of CSSSB and PACs in Caring as at the Offer
Document LPD is set out below:-

(i) Compulsory Acquisition

Note:-
(1) Assuming the shareholdings of CSSSB and PACs in Caring as at the Posting Date
remain unchanged from the Offer Document LPD.

Based on the illustration above, the number of Caring Shares (including all valid
acceptances pursuant to the Offer) that CSSSB and PACs are required to hold
in order to invoke the Compulsory Acquisition under the Modified Approach is
212,925,796 Caring Shares.

the CMSA

Note:-
(1) Assuming the shareholdings of CSSSB and PACs in Caring remain unchanged from the
Offer Document LPD.

28

28
Based on the illustration above, the number of Caring Shares (including all valid
acceptances pursuant to the Offer) that CSSSB and PACs are required to hold
in order for the Dissenting Holders to exercise their rights under Section 223 of
the CMSA under the Modified Approach is 166,373,760 Caring Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, the illustrative computations of the required thresholds
included in this section should not be construed as the final thresholds required for the
Offeror to invoke the Compulsory Acquisition or for the Dissenting Holders to exercise
their rights under Section 223 of the CMSA. The final thresholds are dependent on the
actual number of Caring Shares held by the Offeror and PACs as at the relevant date.

10. RATIONALE FOR THE OFFER AND FUTURE PLANS FOR THE CARING GROUP AND ITS
EMPLOYEES

We refer to the rationale for the Offer and future plans for the Caring Group and its employees
as set out in Sections 3 and 5 of the Offer Document respectively. Set out below are our
comments on:-

Rationale for the Offer

The Acquisition and the Offer are part of the SEM Group’s strategy to expand its network /
reach and diversify its products and customer base, which in turn are expected to further
improve the performance of the SEM Group. Depending on the eventual level of acceptances
received by the Offeror, the Offer provides an opportunity for the SEM Group to increase its
shareholdings in Caring to above 50%, thus allowing the SEM Group to recognise Caring as a
subsidiary and consolidate the financial results of the Caring Group.

As a result of the Acquisition, the collective shareholdings of CSSSB, TSVT, Jitumaju Sdn Bhd
and U Telemedia Sdn Bhd in Caring increased from approximately 13.41% to approximately
38.77%. Arising therefrom, the Offer is a mandatory requirement pursuant to Section 218(2) of
the CMSA and Paragraph 4.01(a) of the Rules.

The Offer provides an opportunity for the Holders to realise their investment in the Caring
Shares for cash at the Offer Price. The Offer Price of RM2.60 is equivalent to the price paid by
the Offeror for each Caring Share acquired pursuant to the Acquisition and is not lower than
any price (excluding stamp duty and commission) paid by the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and
PACs for the purchase of Caring Shares during the 6 months prior to the beginning of the Offer
Period, to be in compliance with Paragraph 6.03(1) of the Rules. The disclosure of dealings in
the Caring Shares by the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs during the 6 months prior to the
commencement of the Offer Period and up to the LPD is set out in Section 2 in Appendix V of
the Offer Document (up to Offer Document LPD)_and announcements on Bursa Securities.

Further, as set out in Section 6 in Appendix I of the Offer Document, if the Offeror or the Ultimate
Offeror or any of the PACs purchase or agree to purchase any of the Offer Shares during the
Offer Period at a consideration that is higher than the Offer Price, the Offeror shall increase the
Offer Price to an amount not less than the highest price (excluding stamp duty and commission)
paid or agreed to be paid by the Offeror or the Ultimate Offeror or any of the PACs for the Offer
Shares during the Offer Period. If the Offeror increases the Offer Price, Holders who have
accepted the Offer prior to the revision in the Offer Price will be paid the revised price in cash.

Please refer to Sections 6 and 7 in Part B of this IAC for our evaluation on the fairness and
reasonableness of the Offer and Section 12 in Part B of this IAC for our conclusion and
recommendation in respect of the Offer.

29

29
Future plans for the Caring Group and its employees

The current intentions of the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror in relation to the future plans for the
Caring Group and its employees after the completion of the Offer (see full details in Section 5
of the Offer Document) is summarised as follows:-

(i) continuation of the existing businesses and operations of the Caring Group;

(ii) no plan and/or intention to liquidate any company within the Caring Group, dispose any
major asset or undertake any major re-deployment of the fixed assets of the Caring
Group or introduce or effect any major change to the existing businesses of the Caring
Group as a direct consequence of the Offer; and

(iii) no plan at this juncture to dismiss or make redundant the existing employees of the
Caring Group as a direct consequence of the Offer,

unless pursuant to rationalisation and/or streamlining of business activities for the betterment
of the Group.

Notwithstanding the above, the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror shall retain the flexibility to consider
options and/or potential opportunities as they consider fit and in the best interests of the
enlarged group which may include strategic investments, rationalisations and/or restructuring
of the Caring Group.

As at the Offer Document LPD, save for MOSB’s Undertaking, the Offeror and Ultimate Offeror
have not entered into any negotiation or arrangement or understanding with any third party in
relation to any significant change in the businesses and assets of the Caring Group or the
shareholding structure of Caring.

Pursuant to the Acquisition, the SEM Group has emerged as the largest direct shareholder in
Caring. Based on the rationale for the Offer as set out in Section 3 of the Offer Document, the
Caring Group may benefit from opportunity for cross-selling of products, expansion of e-
commerce sales by leveraging on each other’s network and infrastructure as well as
streamlining the shared business operations including warehousing, distribution and
procurement functions. However, as the Caring Group is not privy to full details of the SEM
Group’s future plans, any expected benefits to be derived by the Caring Group could not be
ascertained at this juncture.

11. FURTHER INFORMATION

The Holders are advised to refer to the views and recommendation of the Non-Interested
Directors as set out in Part A of this IAC as well as the attached appendices and other relevant
information in the Offer Document for further details in relation to the Offer.

12. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

In arriving at our conclusion and recommendation, we have assessed and evaluated the
fairness and reasonableness of the Offer in accordance with Paragraphs 1 to 6 under Schedule
2: Part III of the Rules, whereby the term "fair and reasonable” should generally be analysed as
2 distinct criteria, i.e. whether the Offer is “fair” and whether the Offer is “reasonable”, rather
than as a composite term.

The Offer is considered as “fair” if the Offer Price is equal to or higher than the market price and
is also equal to or higher than the value of the Offer Shares. However, if the Offer Price is equal
to or higher than the market price but is lower than the value of the Offer Shares, the Offer is
considered as “not fair”.

30

30
In considering whether the Offer is “reasonable”, we have taken into consideration matters other
than the valuation of the Offer Shares. Generally, a take-over offer would be considered
“reasonable” if it is “fair”.

Summarised below are the pertinent factors which you should carefully consider prior to making
a decision whether to accept or reject the Offer:-

Fairness We view the Offer as FAIR in view that:-

(i) the Offer Price of RM2.60 is higher than and represents a premium of
between RM0.10 (4.00%) and RM0.29 (12.55%) over the range of
estimated value per Caring Share derived using the SOPV model of RM2.31
to RM2.50; and

(ii) the Offer Price of RM2.60:-

(a) is higher than the daily VWAPs* of the Caring Shares since the
Listing and up to the LPD and the Caring Shares have never traded
above the Offer Price since the Listing and up to the LPD;

(b) represents a premium of RM0.1000 (4.00%) over the last traded


market price of the Caring Shares on the LTD1 and a premium of
between RM0.1006 (4.02%) and RM0.5945 (29.64%) over the 5-
day, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year VWAPs* of the Caring
Shares up to the LTD1; and

(c) represents a premium of RM0.0200 (0.78%) and RM0.0199 (0.77%)


over the last traded market price of the Caring Shares on the LPD
and the 5-day VWAP of the Caring Shares up to the LPD
respectively.

* As extracted from Bloomberg which have been adjusted for the effects of any
dividends and corporate exercises throughout the period.

Reasonableness We view the Offer as REASONABLE as it provides an exit opportunity to the


Holders (especially for those holding a significant number of the Caring Shares)
to realise their investment in the Offer Shares for cash at the Offer Price in view
that:-

(i) the Caring Shares are illiquid, with a simple average monthly trading
volume-to-free float for the past 12 months up to February 2020 (being the
last full trading month prior to the LPD) of 0.28% (with an average monthly
trading volume of 213,655 Caring Shares) (excluding outlier). Further, the
monthly trading volume-to-free float of Caring Shares during the said period
had been lower than that of KLCSU as follows:-

Monthly volume traded over free float (%)


Index / Securities High Low Simple average

KLCSU 18.65 6.06 10.55

Caring Shares (excluding outlier)* 0.66 0.11 0.28

Note:-
* We have excluded the trading volume of the Caring Shares in February 2020
as an outlier (which is determined based on extreme deviation from the
average).

31

31
Reasonableness (ii) as at the LPD, the Board has not received any alternative proposal for the
Offer Shares (including any offer to acquire the assets and liabilities of the
Caring Group).

Further, in view that the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs hold the majority
equity stake of approximately 64.46%* in Caring as at the Offer Document
LPD, any alternative proposal will not be successful unless with their
support. In that respect, the Non-Interested Directors do not intend to seek
an alternative person to make a take-over offer.

Unless the Offeror, Ultimate Offeror and PACs are required to abstain from
voting on resolutions sought at shareholders’ general meetings of the
Company, they are able to (through casting of their votes which represent
64.46%* of the total voting shares in Caring):-

(i) vote through or vote down any ordinary resolutions (as such
resolutions only require approval from more than 50% of the total
votes cast); and

(ii) vote down any special resolutions (as such resolutions require
approval from at least 75% of the total votes cast).

Note:-
* Based on announcements on Bursa Securities, the Offeror has received acceptances
for a total of 6,123,900 Offer Shares (representing approximately 2.81% equity
interest in Caring) up to the LPD.

Premised on the above and our evaluation of the Offer, we are of the view that the Offer is FAIR
and REASONABLE. Accordingly, we recommend that the Holders ACCEPT the Offer.

However, the decision to be made would rest on the individual risk appetite and specific
investment requirements of the Holders. If the Holders so wish and if the trading liquidity
permits, they may consider disposing of their Caring Shares in the open market in the event the
market prices of Caring Shares are higher than the Offer Price, after taking into consideration
the associated transaction costs and assuming that there will not be any revision to the Offer
Price.

The Holders are advised to closely monitor the market prices, trading volume and any press
releases and/or announcements made in relation to the Offer before making a decision on the
course of action to be taken in respect of the Offer Shares.

The advice of Mercury Securities as contained in this IAL is addressed to the Holders at large
and not to any particular Holder. Accordingly, in providing this advice, we have not taken into
consideration any specific investment objectives, financial situations, risk profiles and particular
needs of any individual Holder or any specific group of Holders. We recommend that any
individual Holder or any specific group of Holders who may require advice in the context of their
investment objectives, financial situations, risk profiles and particular needs should consult their
respective stockbrokers, bank managers, solicitors, accountants or other professional advisers
immediately.

Yours faithfully,
for and on behalf of
