mandate to enter into Recurrent Related Party Transactions of a revenue or trading

The aforesaid authorisation for the Shareholders’ mandate for the Recurrent Related 

Party Transactions shall, in accordance with the Listing Requirements, lapse at the 

conclusion of the forthcoming AGM, unless by a resolution passed at the 

forthcoming AGM, the authority is renewed. 

Consequently, on 17 April 2008, the Board of Directors of TRB announced that the 

Company had proposed to seek a renewal of Shareholders’ mandate of the existing 

Recurrent Related Party Transactions and approval for the new Recurrent Related 

Party Transactions for the TRB Group. 

In addition, on the same date, the Board of Directors of TRB also announced that the 

Company will seek approval from the Shareholders on the proposed general mandate 

for the provision of financial assistance pursuant to paragraphs 8.23 and 10.09 Part E

of Chapters 8 and 10 of the Listing Requirements respectively read with Practice 

Notes 12/2001 and 14/2002. 

1.2 The purpose of this Circular is to provide Shareholders with details of the Proposed

Basis of estimates 

The estimated value and/or payments made or received in respect of each transaction 

referred to above in relation to the Proposed Renewal and Proposed New Shareholders’ 

Mandate are on a per annum basis based on prevailing prices or costs which are reasonably 

market-competitive prices and are derived from the sums incurred or received during the 

year, based on the normal level of transactions entered into by the Group. As for the 

Proposed Financial Assistance Mandate, the estimated amount of financial assistance are 

on a per annum basis based on the expected level of transactions to be entered into by the 

Group. The estimated amounts are further based on the assumptions that current levels of 

operations will continue and there are no significant changes in other conditions in the 

industries and countries that the Group companies operate in. 

Transactions such as provision of services for IT facilities and forwarding charges 

chargeable are on a cost recovery basis, being recovery of part of the costs for sharing or 

provision of some services or on a negotiated basis where both parties would contract on 

terms which are mutually acceptable and beneficial. 

2.5 Rationale for and the benefit to the Group for transacting with Mandated Related 

Parties and mandated parties 

(i) RATIONALE OF THE PROPOSED MANDATE 

The obtaining of the Proposed Mandate would eliminate the need to convene 

separate general meetings from time to time to seek Shareholders’ approval as 

and when such Recurrent Related Party Transactions with a Mandated 

Related Party and the recurrent transactions with a mandated party arise, 

thereby reducing substantially administrative time and expenses in convening 

such meetings, without compromising the corporate objectives and enhance 

ability to pursue more business opportunities for the Group. 

The Proposed Mandate is intended to facilitate transactions in the normal course 

of business of the Group which are transacted from time to time with the 

Mandated Related Parties and/or mandated parties, provided that they are carried 

out at arm’s length and on the Group’s normal commercial terms and are not 

prejudicial to Shareholders and not more favourable to the related parties than 

those generally available to the public and are not to the detriment of minority 

shareholders. 

Disclosure will be made in the annual report of the Company of the breakdown of 

the aggregate value of Recurrent Related Party Transactions and recurrent 

transactions conducted pursuant to the Proposed Mandate during the current 

financial year, and in the annual reports for the subsequent financial years during 

which a Shareholder’s mandate is in force where :- 

(A) the consideration, value of the assets, capital outlay or costs of the 

aggregated transaction is equal to or exceeds RM1 million; or 

(B) any one of the percentage ratios of such aggregated transactions is 

equal to or exceeds 1%; 

whichever is the higher based on the following information:- 

(a) the type of the Recurrent Related Party Transactions and recurrent 

transactions made; and 

(b) the names of the related parties involved in each type of the Recurrent 

Related Party Transactions and recurrent transactions made and their 

relationship with the listed issuer. 

15

(ii) BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED MANDATE 

The details of benefits to be derived from the transactions are as follows: 

(a) The sales and purchase of industrial chemicals, textile auxiliaries and 

dyestuffs, industrial packaging, household insecticides, processed marine 

products, Consumer Goods and Raw Materials reflects the synergy of the 

Group as a manufacturer and trading house. In some instances the related 

parties also acts as a marketing and distribution arm for the Group’s 

products. These transactions are consistent with the Group’s corporate 

objectives of brand-building, expanding the customer base for its products, 

consolidating its market position and to provide business security. 

(b) The management fee is for the procurement of management services. There 

are costs savings and Group synergy in pooling and sharing of the Texchem 

Group’s professional management resources and the availability of 

professional specialist services on a shared basis. 

(c) The rental is for the renting of office, hostel, factory premises, warehouses, 

and facility usage. One of the premises rented serves as the regional head 

office and warehousing centre of the TRB Group. The centralized location 

of companies allows for better coordination and communication between the 

companies. The warehousing centre facilitates prompt and better delivery 

services. The rental of hostel and factory premise is for hostel and factory 

building belonging to FMB and as the premises are readily available, the 

Group can utilize the premises for its workers and production purposes to 

optimise the utilisation of the Group’s resources. The rental expense of 

public relations facility usage is the charge for the corporate use of Villa 

Primavera for Group corporate events, public relations and business 

development. 

Such functions serve to foster closer relationship and rapport with investors, 

bankers, business associates, government and statutory bodies, customers 

and employees and also enhance the Group’s corporate image. 

(d) The rental income is from the letting of the Group’s property and the subletting 

of rented property. The letting of the property generates income for 

the Group and higher utilisation of its assets. 

(e) Provision of services is for the procurement of IT usage, insurance and 

security services. This also includes income from the provision of 

forwarding services. The centralised provision of IT mainframe hardware 

and software services allows for a centralised sharing and sourcing of the 

latest IT technology, standardisation of information processing system to 

provide seamless information flow within the Group and costs savings. 

Insurance coverage is taken up through an authorised insurance agent and 

risk manager which can source for more competitive rates and 

comprehensive cover and provides risk management consultation and 

advisory services. Better security and protection of the Group properties, 

assets and premises are ensured with the in-house security. Disruptions to 

the Group’s businesses and operations are also minimised. 

The forwarding and handling services is ancillary to the business of the 

Group and services provided enables the Group to generate additional 

revenue and to optimise the utilisation of its resources and personnel. 

(f) The royalty payable is for the usage of intellectual property rights on 

products such as mosquito coils, vape mats, vaporisers, flexo photopolymer 

printing plates and plastic engineering precision parts. The intellectual 

property rights are used in the manufacturing and marketing of the said 

products within the licensed territory. 

16

(g) The data transfer charges which are incurred by the Group for the artwork 

design data provided by ECP in relation to the design and manufacturing of 

flexo photopolymer printing plates is beneficial to the Group as there are 

costs savings in the sharing of the said data. 

(h) The sales commission is for sales and marketing services provided by 

SEAPACK ITALIA to Seapack. This arrangement enables the Group to 

harness its marketing strength and infrastructure to market the Related 

Party’s products for the Related Party and generate additional revenue for 

the Group. 

(i) Royalty chargeable is to be paid by a related party to the Group for the 

usage of the Group’s identifiable know-how, experience, data and all other 

technical information relating to the products to be manufactured. 

(j) The purchase of production consumables is for the tools to be generated for 

the Group, by using the engineering expertise of FMB to optimise the 

utilisation of the resources and personnel of the Group. 

(k) Laboratory testing expense is to be paid for the laboratory tests and 

analytical services on the results of the same provided by a related party to 

the Group to optimise the utilisation of resources and personnel by the 

Group. 

(l) Laboratory testing income is to be paid for the laboratory tests and 

analytical services on the results of the same provided by the Group to 

optimise the utilisation of the resources and personnel of the Group. 

(m) The Proposed Financial Assistance Mandate which would facilitate the 

pooling of funds within the Group, via a centralized treasury management 

function or such similar arrangements will allow better utilisation of 

financial resources within the Group. This will enable possible overall cash 

flow savings on interest expense to the Group. 

2.6 Review methods or procedures for the Proposed Mandate 

The Group had established the following procedures for the Proposed Mandate to ensure 

compliance with the Listing Requirements 

(a) A list of mandated parties is circulated within the Group and will be updated as 

and when there are changes. 

(b) All parties have been and/or will be kept notified that all Recurrent Related Party 

Transactions and recurrent transactions are required to be undertaken at arm’s 

length and on normal commercial terms which are not more favourable to the 

mandated parties than those generally available to the public and are not 

detrimental to the minority shareholders and recurrent transactions are to be fair 

and reasonable to TRB and is not to the detriment of TRB and its shareholders. 

(c) The transaction prices, terms and conditions which are market driven are to be 

determined at arm’s length on a customer/supplier relationship basis at mutually 

agreed rates after due consideration of benefits to be derived from the transaction, 

under similar commercial terms for transactions with unrelated third parties, 

which depend on demand and supply, quality, level of service and other related 

factors. 

(d) The terms and conditions for the financial assistance pursuant to the Proposed 

Financial Assistance Mandate which are market driven are to be determined at 

arm’s length basis after due consideration of benefits to be derived from the said 

financial assistance upon similar terms and conditions that may be enjoyed from 

any commercial financial institution. 

17

Shareholders’ mandate to ensure that relevant approvals are obtained and the 

procedures in respect of such transactions are adhered to. 

(h) The Board shall have overall responsibility for the determination of the review 

procedures with authority to sub-delegate to individuals or committees 

within the Group as they deem appropriate. 

(i) If a member of the Board has an interest in the transaction to be reviewed by the 

Board, as the case may be, he will abstain from any decision making by the Board 

in respect of the said transaction. 

(j) The Audit Committee shall review the internal audit reports to ascertain that the 

guidelines and procedures to monitor Recurrent Related Party Transactions and 

recurrent transactions have been complied with. 

(k) Some transactions may be on a cost recovery basis, being recovery of part of the 

costs for sharing or provision of some services or on a negotiated basis where 

both parties would contract on terms which are mutually acceptable and 

beneficial.
