GHL Systems Berhad
(293040-D)
Annual report 2015
Statement of Shareholders
in relation to the Proposed Renewal of Authority for the Company to
Purchase its own Ordinary Shares (continued)
3. Details of the Proposed Shares Buy-Back (continued)
3.1 Details of the Proposed Share Buy-Back (continued)
The Proposed Share Buy-Back, once approved by the shareholders of the Company, shall be effective
from the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution pertaining to the Proposed Share Buy-Back at
the forthcoming 22nd AGM and shall remain in force until:-
(a) the conclusion of the next AGM of GHL following the forthcoming 22nd AGM at which the ordinary
resolution for the Proposed Share Buy-Back is passed, at which time it shall lapse unless by ordinary
resolution passed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to
conditions;
(b) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM after that date is required by law to be
held; or
(c) the authority is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution passed by the shareholders of GHL in a
general meeting,
whichever occurs first.
The actual number of GHL Shares to be purchased will depend on market conditions and sentiments of
Bursa Securities as well as the retained profits, share premium and financial resources available to the
Company at the time of the purchase(s).
GHL will ensure that the purchase of its own Shares will not result in the Company’s public shareholding
spread falling below the minimum public shareholding spread of twenty-five percent (25%) of its total
listed Shares (excluding treasury shares).
If the Board decides to cancel the purchased GHL Shares, the Company’s issued and paid-up share
capital shall be diminished by the cancellation of the purchased GHL Shares.
4. Rationale for the Proposed Share Buy-Back
The Proposed Shares Buy-Back will enable GHL to utilise its surplus financial resources to buy-back GHL
shares. The increase in Earnings Per Share, if any, arising from the Proposed Shares Buy-Back is expected to
benefit the shareholders of the Company.
The purchased GHL shares can be held as treasury shares and resold on Bursa Securities to realise potential
gain without affecting the total issued and paid-up capital of the Company. The distribution of the treasury
shares as share dividends may also serve to reward the shareholders of the Company.
5. Source of Fund
The Proposed Share Buy-Back, if implemented, will be funded through internally generated funds and/or
bank borrowings, the proportion of which will depend on the quantum of the purchase consideration and
availability of internal funds of GHL. In the event bank borrowings are required for the purchase of GHL
Shares, the Board will ensure that the Company has the capability to repay the bank borrowings and the
repayment will not have any material impact on the Company’s cash flow.
