PLUS Privatisation in 2011• In November 2011, PLUS was privatised at a total value of RM23.0 billion

following a joint-offer by UEM Group Berhad and the Employee Provident FundBoard (“EPF”).

• The key objective of the privatisation exercise was to rationalise the overall tollstructure of all the highway concessions in PLUS Group. It was a landmarkinitiative across all highways in Malaysia as PLUS Group owns about 60% of thetolled highways throughout the country.

• Based on the complexity and the high profile nature of the transaction, it waspertinent that the interest of various stakeholders were protected. Thestakeholders include highway users of Malaysia, bondholders of PLUS’s existingdebt securities, the shareholders as well as the Government of Malaysia.

Stakeholders Rationale

Bondholders and Shareholders The rights of the bondholders were protected.

Fair exit price for the existing shareholders.

Promoters (UEM Group & EPF) Acceptable return on investments.

• As part of the privatisation, PLUS established the following Sukuk programme on 12January 2012:

• The highest AAA rating was accorded for the RM23.35 bil Sukuk by Malaysian RatingCorporation Berhad (MARC), reflecting the strong credit quality of the transaction andstrength of PLUS.

• Principal Adviser & Lead Arranger : CIMB Investment Bank Berhad• Joint Lead Managers - 4 local largest banks:

1. CIMB Investment Bank Berhad2. Aminvestment Bank Berhad3. Maybank Investment Bank Berhad4. RHB Investment Bank Berhad

Significance of PLUS’ Deal• As at execution date (2011), the privatization transaction of PLUS at the value of

RM23.0 billion was the second largest M&A deal in corporate Malaysianhistory and the largest for single company.

• PLUS Group’s issuance also highlights the size and liquidity of the MalaysianDebt Capital Markets, as the Sukuk generated very robust interest taking intoconsideration the large size of the issuance as well as long tenure of up to 27years.

• The Sukuk issuance also represented many FIRSTS, including:the single largest bond issuance in Malaysia to date;the single largest Ringgit-denominated Sukuk issuance to date; andthe single largest Sukuk issuance globally (in any currency).

10

Challenges & Considerations• A balanced and “win-win” solution for all stakeholders.

• Large size single issuance of approximate RM30.6 billion.

• Long financing tenure of up to 27 years, given that the concession agreement expires in year 2038

• Given the highly leveraged transaction structure, only the highest possible rating would enable PLUS to achieve an effective cost of financing as well as marketability of the Sukuk

Market and Stakeholders

• Risk of policy and regulatory changes

• Threats from upcoming and planned alternative toll roads

Operating Environment

• Ensure proper management and implementation of the transaction, considering the publicity:^ To minimise execution risk and delay in completing the exercise ^ Proper governance and transparency ^ Clear and proper management of news flow to the public at large
