We refer to the announcement dated 15 January 2016 in relation to the Offer wherein Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities” or the “Exchange”) had vide a letter dated 15 January 2016 informed that it is unable to proceed with the processing of the listing application and draft circular in relation to the Offer until the Exchange’s enquiries are satisfactorily addressed and requested the steps that the Nexgram Board is taking to address Bursa Securities’ enquiries and implication on the Take-Over Offer be announced.

The Nexgram Board has deliberated on the abovesaid matter and wishes to announce that the Nexgram Board is taking steps to identify an independent qualified accounting firm to undertake the role of Special Auditor. In the interim, Nexgram has compiled and shown to the Due Diligence Committee documents and statements in relation to certain assets of Nexgram that is in contention and have scheduled and authorised representatives of the Due Diligence Committee to travel directly to Indonesia for purposes of conducting an independent verification on those certain assets of Nexgram in order to address the Exchange’s enquiries.  

Bursa Securities’ position will directly affect the Take-Over Offer.

In such circumstances, the Take-Over Offer will not succeed.
