1. INTRODUCTION
The abbreviations and words used in the ensuring sections of this Announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the DRA and the announcement dated 12 September 2011 unless the context otherwise requires or defined herewith.
We refer to the announcement dated 12 September 2011 on the Debt Restructuring
Agreement (“DRA”) entered into by Haisan, the Scheme Subsidiaries (as defined
herein) with certain of the secured lenders (“Secured Lenders”) and unsecured lenders
(“Unsecured Lenders”) (collectively referred to as “Scheme Lenders”) for the
restructuring and settlement of debts owing by Haisan and the Scheme Subsidiaries to
the Scheme Lenders.
Following the signing of the DRA, Haisan further sought the assistance of the
Corporate Debt Restructuring Committee to revise certain terms of the proposed debt
restructuring as originally contemplated under the DRA with the Scheme Lenders.
The revisions as set out in Section 2.4 of this Announcement are necessary to enhance
the overall structure of the proposed debt restructuring to include amongst others:
(i) the issuance of new ordinary shares of RM0.05 each to the Unsecured Lenders
to replace certain amount of the irredeemable convertible unsecured loan
stocks agreed to be issued to the Unsecured Lenders and to prepay certain
amount of interest to the Unsecured Lenders in the form of new ordinary
shares;
(ii) the par value of the existing ordinary shares of RM0.50 each be further
reduced from RM0.125 each as originally contemplated in the DRA to
RM0.05 each to eliminate more accumulated losses of Haisan; and
(iii) warrants are attached to the rights shares to improve the subscription rate of
the proposed rights issue.
The necessary approval-in-principle have been obtained from the Scheme Lenders for
the revisions proposed by Haisan. The supplemental agreement to vary certain terms
of the DRA is being drafted and when agreed and signed by all the parties, an
announcement would be made thereafter.

(All the above proposals shall hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Proposed
Regularisation Plan”).
The abbreviation “Haisan Share(s)” or “Share(s)” used throughout this
Announcement refers to the existing ordinary shares of RM0.50 each in Haisan before
the Proposed Capital Reduction or where the context requires, the ordinary shares of
RM0.05 each in Haisan after the Proposed Capital Reduction.
The abbreviation “Haisan Group” or “Group” used throughout this Announcement
refers to the Company and its subsidiaries, collectively.
2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED REGULARISATION PLAN
As at 30 November 2011, the issued and paid-up share capital of Haisan is
RM44,072,500 comprising 88,145,000 Haisan Shares (inclusive of 7,604,100 Haisan
Shares held as treasury shares). The Board proposes to cancel all the 7,604,100
Haisan Shares held as treasury shares in accordance to Section 67A of the Act prior to
the implementation of the Proposed Capital Reduction (“Proposed Treasury Shares
Cancellation”). Upon completion of the Proposed Treasury Shares Cancellation, the
issued and paid-up share capital of Haisan will be reduced to RM40,270,450
comprising 80,540,900 Haisan Shares and the credit arising from the cancellation
would be utilised to reduce the accumulated losses of the Company.
As at 30 November 2011, there are 3,827,000 options granted under the employee
share options scheme (“ESOS”) of Haisan which are yet to be exercised
(“Unexercised ESOS Options”). In view of the Proposed Capital Reduction which
would not result in any adjustment to the exercise price of RM0.85 for each option, it
is assumed that none of the Unexercised ESOS Options will be exercised prior to the
implementation of the Proposed Regularisation Plan. In addition, the Company does
not intend to grant any further ESOS options to eligible Directors and employees
under the existing ESOS from the date of this Announcement up to and including the
entitlement date of the Proposed Rights Issue.
2.1 Details of the Proposed Capital Reduction
The Board proposes to reduce the issued and paid-up share capital of Haisan
comprising 80,540,900 ordinary shares of RM0.50 each in Haisan via the
cancellation of RM0.45 of the par value of each ordinary share of RM0.50
each in Haisan pursuant to Section 64 of the Act.
Assuming none of the Unexercised ESOS Options are exercised, the Proposed
Capital Reduction will give rise to a credit amount of approximately RM36.24
million, which will be utilised to set-off the accumulated losses of Haisan.

2.2 Details of the Proposed M&A Amendments
The Proposed M&A Amendments entails the amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Haisan to facilitate the change in the par value of Haisan’s ordinary shares from RM0.50 each to RM0.05 each to accommodate the:
(i) Proposed Capital Reduction; and
(ii) issuance of new Haisan Shares pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue,
the Proposed Debt Restructuring, the Proposed Private Placement, the exercise of the Warrants and the full conversion of the ICULS.
2.3 Details of the Proposed Rights Issue
2.3.1 Particulars of the Proposed Rights Issue The Proposed Rights Issue entails the issuance of up to 268,469,666
Rights Shares together with up to 134,234,833 Warrants at an issue
price of RM0.05 per Rights Share on the basis of ten (10) Rights
Shares together with five (5) Warrants for every three (3) Haisan
Shares held after the completion of the Proposed Capital Reduction on
an entitlement date to be determined and announced later (“Entitlement
Date”).
The Proposed Rights Issue will be undertaken on the Minimum
Subscription Level comprising 80,000,000 Rights Shares with
40,000,000 Warrants.
- 5 -
The maximum number of 268,469,666 Rights Shares was arrived at
after taking into account the issued and paid-up share capital of Haisan
after the completion of the Proposed Treasury Shares Cancellation and
the Proposed Capital Reduction. The actual number of the Rights
Shares and Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue
shall be determined on the Entitlement Date, subsequent to the
completion of the Proposed Capital Reduction.
The Rights Shares with Warrants will be provisionally allotted to the
entitled shareholders at the close of business day on the Entitlement
Date. The entitled shareholders can fully or partially subscribe and/or
renounce their entitlements for the Rights Shares together with
Warrants. However, the Rights Shares and the Warrants cannot be
renounced separately. Accordingly, entitled shareholders can only
renounce or subscribe for their entitlements to the Rights Shares and be
entitled to the accompanying Warrants in full or in part in the
proportion of their subscription of the Rights Shares. Nevertheless, the
Warrants will be detached from the Rights Shares immediately upon
issue and will be separately traded.
Any fractional entitlement under the Proposed Rights Issue shall be
disregarded and will be dealt with in such manner as the Board may
deem fit and expedient in the interest of the Company.
The subscription and/or renunciation of the Rights Shares which are
not validly taken up or which are not allotted for any reason
whatsoever will first be made available for excess Rights Share
applications and if remain undersubscribed based on the Minimum
Subscription Level, the Right Shares with the Warrants shall then be
allotted and issue to ACV and OCY in proportion to the Undertakings
provided as detailed in Section 2.3.4 of this Announcement.
The indicative principal terms of the Warrants are set out in Table 1 of
the Appendix of this Announcement.
2.3.2 Basis of determining the issue price of the Rights Shares and the
exercise price of the Warrants and justification for the pricing
The issue price of RM0.05 per Rights Share and the exercise price of
RM0.05 per Warrant were arrived at after taking into consideration of
the following:
(i) par value of Haisan’s ordinary shares of RM0.05 each after the
Proposed Capital Reduction;
- 6 -
(ii) Haisan’s proforma consolidated net assets (“NA”) per share of
RM0.08 as at 31 December 2010 after taking into consideration
the disposal by IGLO Shanghai (“IGLO SH”) of a piece of
leasehold industrial land in Shanghai, PRC together with a
single storey cold storage warehouse with ancillary facilities,
disposal by IGLO SH of IGLO SH’s assets and the disposal by
IGLO (Shanghai) Logistics of IGLO (Shanghai) Logistics’s
assets that were all completed on 16 September 2011
(“Disposal of SH Assets”) and the Proposed Capital Reduction,
under the Minimum Scenario (as defined herein) as detailed in
Table 4 of the Appendix of this Announcement; and
(iii) five (5)-day volume weighted average market price
(“VWAMP”) of RM0.0686 per Haisan Share up to 6 July 2011, (being the last market day prior to the suspension of the Haisan Shares by Bursa Securities on 7 July 2011).
For illustrative purposes, based on the above 5-day VWAMP of RM0.0686 per Haisan Share, the theoretical ex-rights price is RM0.054 per Haisan Share. Hence, the issue price per Rights Share and the exercise price of the Warrants of RM0.05 respectively, represent a discount of approximately RM0.004 or 7.41% over the theoretical ex-rights price of RM0.054 per Haisan Share.
The Board (save for OCY, Ong Chin Cheong (“OCC”) and Kamarudin Bin Md Derom who are deemed interested in the Proposed Rights Issue) is of the view that on a standalone basis, the discount to the issue price of the Rights Shares and the exercise price of the Warrants will provide all the existing shareholders with an attractive opportunity to subscribe for their entitlements and also to further participate in the equity of Haisan from the exercise of the Warrants.
2.3.3 Ranking of the Rights Shares and new Haisan Shares to be issued
pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants
The Rights Shares shall, upon allotment and issue, rank pari passu in
all respects with the then existing ordinary shares of the Company,
except that they shall not be entitled to any dividends, rights,
allotments and/or other distributions which may be declared, made or
paid prior to the date of allotment of the Rights Shares.
The new Haisan Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants shall, upon allotment and issue, rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing ordinary shares of the Company, except that they shall not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/or other distributions which may be declared, made or paid prior to the date of allotment of such new Haisan Shares arising from the exercise of the Warrants.

2.3.4 Minimum Subscription Level, shareholders’ undertaking and
underwriting arrangement
The Board has determined a minimum subscription level of RM4.00
million to be raised from the Proposed Rights Issue after taking into
consideration the immediate funding requirements of the Haisan
Group, including the Group’s capital expenditure for the expansion of
capacity as well as the incidental expenses arising from the Proposed
Regularisation Plan. The details of the proposed utilisation of gross
proceeds to be raised from the Proposed Rights Issue are disclosed in
Section 2.3.5 of this Announcement.
Based on the issue price of RM0.05 per Rights Share and assuming that the Proposed Rights Issue is undertaken on the Minimum Subscription Level, 80,000,000 Rights Shares with 40,000,000 Warrants will be allotted and issue to ACV and OCY who has each provided irrevocable written undertaking (“Undertakings”) to achieve the Minimum Subscription Level in the manner as set out below:
Notes: * Excluding 7,604,100 Haisan Shares held as treasury shares as at the 30
November 2011. ^ As a percentage of 268,469,666, being the maximum number of Rights Shares to
be issued pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue.
In view of the Minimum Subscription Level and the Undertakings, the
Proposed Rights Issue will not be underwritten. Details of the implications of the Code on OCY and ACV arising from
their subscription of the 80,000,000 Rights Shares with 40,000,000
Warrants pursuant to the Undertakings are disclosed in Section 2.6 of
this Announcement.
In the event that the Minimum Subscription Level is not achieved, the Company will not proceed with the implementation of the Proposed Rights Issue. In addition, the Proposed Debt Restructuring and the Proposed Private Placement will also not be implemented as: (i) the Proposed Debt Restructuring is inter-conditional upon the
Proposed Rights Issue; and
(ii) the Proposed Private Placement is conditional upon the Proposed Debt Restructuring and the Proposed Capital Reduction.
- 8 -
If the Proposed Debt Restructuring is not implemented, the financial conditions of the Group would not be addressed as the Group’s existing borrowings are due and payable. Hence, amongst others, without the Proposed Regularisation Plan being implemented, the securities of the Company would be de-listed from the Official List of Bursa Securities. Therefore, the Proposed Regularisation Plan, taken as a whole is critical and necessary to address the financial conditions of the Group to enable Bursa Securities to consider the upliftment of the Affected Listed Issuer status.
As at the date of this Announcement, the Company does not have any
other alternative plans to address its financial conditions in the event
the Minimum Subscription Level is not achieved.
2.3.5 Proposed utilisation of proceeds
The Proposed Rights Issue is expected to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately RM13.42 million, details of the proposed utilisation are set out below:

Notes: ^ The scenario assuming that the Proposed Rights Issue would be undertaken
based on the Minimum Subscription Level. * The scenario assuming all the entitled shareholders fully subscribe for their
respective entitlements under the Proposed Rights Issue
(1) Approximately RM2.05 million will be allocated to partially fund the cost of converting an existing vacant warehouse with a built up area of approximately 30,000 square feet into a multiple temperature-controlled facilities (“MTCF”) of approximately RM10.0 million. The MTCF will be located in Port Klang, which is adjacent to the Group’s existing MTCF whereby the Group’s cold storage capacity is expected to increase by 5,000 pallets to 23,000 pallets. The conversion into MTCF is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2012 which will initially be funded from borrowings to be secured and will be expected to be completed by end May 2012.
In accordance with the terms of the DRA, the proceeds in excess of the minimum of RM4.00 million (net of the estimated expenses), 50% of which will be used for capital expenditure in respect of the conversion into MTCF as mentioned in the above and/or the repayment of borrowings utilised to finance the said conversion of warehouse. The estimated costs for the new MTCF with a capacity of 5,000 pallets are as follows:
(RM’000)
Construction 2,750
Refrigeration Equipment 3,400
Polyurethane Panel 2,900
Racking System 650
Material Handling Equipment 300
Total estimated costs 10,000
- 9 -
(2) The estimated expenses include amongst others, professional fees, fees
payable to relevant authorities and other miscellaneous expenses in relation to the Proposed Regularisation Plan. Any shortfall/surplus in the fund allocated for the estimated expenses will be adjusted accordingly from/to the portion being earmarked for the working capital requirements of the Group. Breakdown of the estimated expenses are as follows:
Type of expense (RM’000)
Professional fees 1,650
Fees payable to the authorities 162
Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) expenses, printing of Circular and Abridged Prospectus, advertisements, etc
100
Miscellaneous expenses 38
Total estimated expenses 1,950 (3) In accordance with the terms of the DRA, the proceeds in excess of the
minimum of RM4.00 million (net of the estimated expenses), 50% of which will be used to accelerate the repayment of the Group’s Secured Term Loan, Unsecured Term Loan A and Unsecured Term Loan B or part thereof on a proportionate basis to all the Scheme Lenders based on their respective liabilities. The Group’s bank borrowings as at the LPD amounts to approximately RM121.57 million and assuming approximately RM3.74 million of the proceeds is used to repay the Group’s borrowings, it is expected to contribute to net interest savings of approximately RM0.26 million per annum based on the average interest rate of 6.85% per annum as at the 30 November 2011.
The proceeds to be received by Haisan pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants are intended to be utilised for the Group’s future expansion and/or working capital requirements including the monthly repayment of the principal and interest of the restructured term loans of approximately RM67.11 million with a tenure of eight (8) years owing by the Company and the Scheme Subsidiaries to the Secured Lenders and Unsecured Lenders pursuant to the DRA (“New Term Loans”).

2.4.2 Details of the Proposed Issuance of ICULS with Warrants
and the Proposed Issuance of Settlement Shares
Pursuant to the Proposed Debt Restructuring, the debts owing to the Unsecured Lenders A and the Unsecured Lenders B will be partly settled via the issuance of RM9,863,007 nominal value of ICULS of RM0.01 each together with 56,360,240 Warrants and issuance of 96,333,400 Settlement Shares at the issue price of RM0.05 per Settlement Share.
2.4.2.1 Indicative principal terms of the ICULS
The ICULS will be constituted by a Trust Deed to be executed between the Company and Pacific Trustees Berhad, the Trustee for the benefit of the ICULS holders. The indicative principal terms of the ICULS are set out in Table 2 of the Appendix of this Announcement.
2.4.2.2 Indicative principal terms of the Warrants
The Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Debt Restructuring shall also form the same series of the Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue and both of these Warrants shall be constituted under the same Deed Poll to be executed by the Company.
- 16 -
The indicative principal terms of Warrants are set out in Table 1 of the Appendix of this Announcement.
2.4.2.3 Basis of determining the conversion price of the
ICULS, exercise price of the Warrants and issue
price of the Settlement Shares
The conversion price of the ICULS and the exercise price of the Warrant for every one (1) new Haisan Share of RM0.05 as well as the issue price of the Settlement Shares of RM0.05 per Settlement Share was arrived at after taking into consideration of following:
(i) par value of the Haisan Shares of RM0.05 each
after the Proposed Capital Reduction; (ii) Haisan’s proforma consolidated NA per share of
RM0.08 as at 31 December 2010 after taking into consideration the disposals of assets in Shanghai and the Proposed Capital Reduction, under the Minimum Scenario as detailed in Table 4 of the Appendix of this Announcement; and
(iii) five (5)-day VWAMP RM0.0686 per Haisan Share up to 6 July 2011 ( being the last market day prior to the suspension of the Haisan Shares by Bursa Securities on 7 July 2011).
For illustration purposes only, the conversion price of
the ICULS, the exercise price of the Warrants and the
issue price of the Settlement Shares of RM0.05
represents a discount of approximately RM0.004 or
7.41% over the theoretical ex-rights price of the Haisan
Shares as detailed in Section 2.3.2 of this
Announcement.
The Board (save for OCY, OCC and Kamarudin Bin
Md Derom who are deemed interested in the Proposed
Debt Restructuring) is of the view that the discount is
reasonable to compensate for a low coupon rate of 4.5%
of the ICULS (as compared to the average interest rate
of the borrowings of 7.82% per annum as at 30
November 2011 prior to the Proposed Debt
Restructuring) and waiver of a portion of the debts
owing by the Company and the Scheme Subsidiaries to
the Unsecured Lenders.
- 17 -
2.4.2.4 Ranking of the Settlement Shares and the new
Haisan Shares to be issued pursuant to the
conversion of the ICULS and the exercise of the
Warrants The Settlement Shares and the new Haisan Shares to be issued pursuant to the conversion of the ICULS and the exercise of the Warrants shall, upon allotment and issue, rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing ordinary shares of the Company, except that they shall not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/or other distributions which may be declared, made or paid prior to the date of allotment of such new Haisan Shares arising from the issuance of the Settlement Shares and the conversion of the ICULS or the exercise of the Warrants, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, the Settlement Shares shall not be entitled to participate in the Proposed Rights Issue.
2.4.2.5 Proceeds to be raised from the conversion of the
ICULS and the exercise of the Warrants
The quantum of proceeds to be received by Haisan
pursuant to the conversion of the ICULS and the
exercise of the Warrants in the future, the quantum of
which is dependent upon the actual number of ICULS
converted (should conversion be partially in cash) and
the actual number of Warrants exercised are intended to
be utilised for the Group’s future expansion and/or
working capital requirements including the monthly
repayment of the principal and/or interest of the New
Term Loans due to the Scheme Lenders.
2.4.3 Put and Call Option
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the DRA, the Unsecured Lenders and OCY will enter into Put and Call option agreements with each of the respective Unsecured Lenders whereby OCY grants an option to each of the Unsecured Lenders to sell (“Put Option”) and each of the Unsecured Lenders grant options to OCY to purchase (“Call Option”), as the case may be, the 986,300,700 ICULS and the 96,333,400 Settlement Shares to be issued to the Unsecured Lenders pursuant to the Proposed Debt Restructuring exercisable by either OCY or the Unsecured Lenders in the following manner:

2.4.4 Salient conditions precedent and other salient terms of the DRA The salient conditions precedent to the implementation of the Proposed Debt Restructuring and the other salient terms of the DRA are set out in the announcement dated 12 September 2011. The revised terms supplemental to the DRA will be announced upon the execution by the respective parties.
2.5 Proposed Private Placement
2.5.1 Placement Size
The Proposed Private Placement would entail the issuance of up to
133,603,189 new Haisan Shares, representing up to thirty percent
(30%) of the issued and paid-up share capital of Haisan then to
independent third party investor(s) to be identified at an issue price to
be determined and announced later. The Placement Shares are not
intended to be place out to any of the Directors, major shareholders
and chief executive officer of Haisan and/or persons connected to
them.
Subject to the prevailing market conditions, the Proposed Private
Placement may be implemented in several tranches.
For implementation purposes, the Proposed Private Placement is
expected to be implemented after the Proposed Capital Reduction, the
Proposed Rights Issue and the Proposed Debt Restructuring.
2.5.2 Basis of arriving at the issue price of the Placement Shares
The issue price of the Placement Shares and the price-fixing date shall
be determined and announced by the Board at a later date after
obtaining the approval(s) from the relevant authorities/shareholders for
the Proposed Regularisation Plan.
The issue price for the Placement Shares will be determined after taking into consideration the following: (i) RM0.05, being the par value of the Haisan Shares after the
Proposed Par Value Reduction; or (ii) at a discount of not more than ten percent (10%) to the five (5)-
day VWAMP of the Haisan Shares immediately preceding the price-fixing date,
whichever is higher. For illustration purposes only, the indicative issue price of the Placement Shares of RM0.05 each represents a discount of approximately RM0.004 or 7.41% over the theoretical ex-rights price of the Haisan Shares as detailed in Section 2.3.2 of this Announcement.
- 20 -
2.5.3 Ranking of the Placement Shares
The Placement Shares shall, upon allotment and issue, rank pari passu
in all respects with the then existing Haisan Shares, save and except
that the Placement Shares will not be entitled to any dividends, rights,
allotments and/or other distributions which may be declared, made or
paid prior to the date of allotment of the Placement Shares.
2.5.4 Proposed Utilisation of Proceeds
The exact amount of gross proceeds to be raised from the Proposed Private Placement is dependent on the actual issue price and the actual number of Placement Shares to be placed to the third party investor(s). For illustration purposes, the Company is expected to raise estimated gross proceeds of up to RM6.68 million based on the indicative issue price of RM0.05 per Placement Share, details of the proposed utilisation are set out below:

Notes:
(1) Under the Minimum Scenario, approximately RM3.85 million will be
allocated to partially fund the cost of converting an existing vacant
warehouse into a MTCF in addition to approximately RM2.05 million
allocated from the proceeds from the Proposed Rights Issue as disclosed
in Section 2.3.5 of this Announcement.
Under the Maximum Scenario, approximately RM2.26 million will be
allocated to fund the balance of the total cost of converting an existing
vacant warehouse into a MTCF of approximately RM10.0 million in
addition to approximately RM7.38 million allocated from the proceeds
from the Proposed Rights Issue as disclosed in Section 2.3.5 of this
Announcement.
(2) The proceeds of up to approximately RM4.42 million would be utilised
for the Group’s future expansion opportunities and for general working
capital requirements, including operating expenditure such as
employees’ salaries and related statutory costs, purchase of materials,
selling and distribution expenses, the breakdown of which have yet to be
determined.
In the event of a variation in the gross proceeds raised due to the
difference in the issue price and/or number of the Placement Shares to
be placed, the Company will vary the utilisation amount for working
capital purposes accordingly.

2.6 Proposed Exemption
As at 30 November 2011, ACV, OCY and the PACs with them hold an
aggregate of 42,852,502 Haisan Shares representing 53.20% of the equity
interest in Haisan.
The shareholdings of ACV, OCY and the PACs with them could potentially increase based on the following scenario, the details of which are set out in the table below: (i) The Proposed Rights Issue are undertaken based on the Minimum
Scenario whereby, OCY and ACV pursuant to the Undertakings would be the only subscribers of the Proposed Rights Issue;
(ii) None of the other ESOS holders exercise their ESOS Options save for OCY and the PACs with him exercise their unexercised ESOS Options as at 30 November 2011;
(iii) The Unsecured Lenders exercise all the Put Options or OCY exercise
all the Call Options on the respective Put and Call Option Exercise Period and OCY converts all the ICULS purchased on the basis of tendering one (1) ICULS together with cash payment of RM0.04 for one (1) new Haisan Share; and
(iv) ACV and OCY exercise all the Warrants issued to them pursuant to
the Proposed Rights Issue.
THE REST OF THIS PAGE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK
- 22 -
The proforma shareholdings of ACV, OCY and the PACs with them prepared based on the scenarios as described in the above:
Notes: ^ Excluding 7,604,100 Haisan Shares held as treasury shares as at 30 November 2011. * Less than 0.01%. 1. Lim Geok Lian is the spouse of OCC 2. Ong Hee Siang is the son of OCC 3. Ong Geok Moi and Ong Kim Mui are siblings to OCC and OCY 4. Ho Yow Nan and Yeoh Guan Chai are brother-in-laws to OCY 5. Kamarul Ariffin Bin Md Derum and Kamarolzaman Bin Md Derum are siblings to Kamarudin
Bin Md Derom 6. The ESOS Options held by OCY, OCC and Kamarudin Bin Md Derom of 800,000 Options,
600,000 Options and 600,000 Options, respectively are fully exercised as at 30 November 2011.
7. Upon the exercise of the Put and Call Options on the first tranche of the 88,078,060 Settlement Shares by the Unsecured Lenders and/or OCY within 30 days before the day preceding the second anniversary year of the issuance of the ICULS.
8. Upon the exercise of the Put and Call Options on the second tranche of the 8,255,340 Settlement Shares by the Unsecured Lenders and/or OCY within 30 days before the day preceding the third anniversary year of the issuance of the ICULS
9. Upon the exercise of the Put and Call Options on the 986,300,700 ICULS and assuming full conversion into new Haisan Shares by tendering one (1) ICULS together with cash payments of RM0.04 for one (1) new Haisan Share.
Based on the above table, the shareholdings of ACV and OCY may potentially increase such that they will individually trigger the conditions of Part III of the Code whereby each of them would be obliged to extend a mandatory take-over offer to acquire the remaining Haisan Shares and convertible securities not already held by either of them, the details of which are set out below: (i) Under the Minimum Scenario pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue
and assuming ACV and the PACs with it exercise all the unexercised ESOS Options as at 30 November 2011, the shareholdings of ACV would potentially increase by more than two percent (2%) in any six (6) months period upon the subscription of the Rights Shares by ACV as illustrated in the above table.
Hence, in compliance with Part III of the Code, ACV and the PACs
with it would be obliged to extend a mandatory take-over offer to acquire the remaining Haisan Shares and convertible securities not already held by ACV or the PACs with it upon completion of the Proposed Rights Issue.
(ii) Pursuant to the terms of the DRA and as disclosed in Section 2.4.3 of
this Announcement, the Unsecured Lenders and OCY are entitled to exercise the Put and Call Options of up to 96,333,400 Settlement Shares and 986,300,700 ICULS.
Upon exercise of the Put and Call Option on the first tranche of the
88,078,060 Settlement Shares by the Unsecured Lenders and/or by OCY within 30 days before the day preceding the second anniversary year of the issuance of the ICULS, the shareholdings of OCY could potentially increase to more than 33% of the enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of Haisan.
Thereafter, OCY’s shareholdings in Haisan could potentially increase
by 2% in any six (6) months period in the following scenarios:
(a) upon the exercise of the Put and Call Option on the second tranche of the 8,255,340 Settlement Shares by the Unsecured Lenders and/or by OCY within 30 days before the day preceding the third anniversary year of the issuance of the ICULS; and
- 24 -
(b) the conversion of the ICULS owned by OCY pursuant to the exercise of the Put and Call Options either by OCY or the Unsecured Lenders.
As it is not the intention of ACV, OCY and the PACs with them to undertake a mandatory take-over offer for the remaining Haisan Shares and convertible securities not already held by them, PIVB shall, on behalf of ACV, OCY and the PACs with them, make an application to Securities Commission Malaysia (“SC”) to seek an exemption under Paragraph 16.1 of Practice Note 9 of the Code from the mandatory take-over offer obligation provided that the Proposed Exemption is approved (in a poll) by the non-interested shareholders of Haisan at a general meeting to be convened. Upon the approval by the non-interested shareholders, the SC would then be able to consider the exemption sought by them. It is pertinent to note that in the event ACV, OCY and the PACs with them do not succeed in obtaining the approval from the non-interested shareholders for the Proposed Exemption, the Proposed Rights Issue will not be implemented as the Proposed Rights Issue is conditional upon the Proposed Exemption. In such event, the Proposed Debt Restructuring and the Proposed Private Placement will also not be implemented due to the conditionality of the Proposed Regularisation Plan as disclosed in Section 6 of this Announcement.
3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED REGULARISATION PLAN
Haisan was classified as an Affected Listed Issuer pursuant to Paragraph 8.04 of Chapter 8 and Paragraph 2.1(e) of PN 17 on 9 June 2010.
The Group started recording losses in the FYE 2008 up to the FPE 30 September
2011 and the key reasons for the deterioration in its financial performance and
conditions of the Group were as follows:
(i) Unprofitable operations in the Peoples’ Republic of China (“PRC”) and
non-income generating assets in Vietnam. The losses from the PRC operations are mainly due to competition in the Temperature-Controlled Logistics (“TCL”) market in the PRC which has resulted the Group to price its services competitively and coupled with the under-utilisation of capacities to cover the fixed operating costs and finance cost. This is in view that the TCL operations require high capital expenditure which was financed substantially from borrowings secured by the Group. The total investment in the TCL operation in Guangzhou and Shanghai was approximately RM49.51 million as at 30 November 2011 and was substantially financed by borrowings and indirectly from advances provided by the holding company who in turn had utilised banking lines to fund the advances.
- 25 -
In addition, the Group had in 2006, acquired the land use rights of a piece of land in Vietnam for a cash consideration of approximately RM13.28 million, substantially financed via borrowings to expand its TCL business into Vietnam, one of the fastest growing economies in the ASEAN region. However, the Group has placed its TCL expansion plan in Vietnam on hold in view of the high inflation rate in Vietnam and the steep interest rates hikes then.
(ii) High level of borrowing resulting in high finance costs
The nature of the Group’s business requires high capital investment which had
been substantially financed by borrowings. Hence, the Group’s borrowings
has increased from approximately RM133.87 million in the FYE 2006 to a
high of approximately RM190.06 million in the FYE 2008 and then decreased
to approximately RM157.62 million in the FYE 2010 following the sale of
certain assets to pare down the borrowings. In view of the deterioration in
financial performance which resulted in the strained liquidity position of the
Group and several unsuccessful attempts to raise funds to refinance its
borrowings, the Group had first defaulted in the repayment of borrowings in
June 2010.
The Proposed Regularisation Plan is formulated to address the present financial
conditions of the Group. In addition, the Group has formulated some future plans and
business strategies that will be implemented by the Group to improve its revenue and
reduce operating costs for the sustainability of its business in the future.
The rationale for the Group to undertake the Proposed Regularisation Plan are set out
in the ensuing paragraphs.
3.1 Proposed Capital Reduction
The rationale and justification for the Proposed Capital Reduction are as follows:
(i) to allow the Company to substantially reduce its accumulated losses
and to cancel any paid-up share capital which is unrepresented by
available assets of the Company/Group. Consequently, the par value of
the Haisan Shares will be more reflective of the financial position of
the Company which is expected to facilitate the Proposed Rights Issue
and the Proposed Private Placement as well as for any other fund
raising exercise to be undertaken by the Company in the future; and
(ii) the reduction in the accumulated losses from the Company/Group’s
balance sheet would not only enhance the credibility with the bankers,
suppliers, investors and other stakeholders, but it would also provide
the financial platform for the Group’s future growth.
- 26 -
3.2 Proposed M&A Amendments
The Proposed M&A Amendments is intended to facilitate the change in the following: (i) the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares from RM0.50 each to
RM0.05 each as a result of the Proposed Capital Reduction; and
(ii) number of ordinary shares in the authorised share capital as a result of the change in the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares from RM0.50 each to RM0.05 each.
The Proposed M&A Amendments shall in turn facilitate the implementation of the Proposed Capital Reduction, the Proposed Rights Issue, the Proposed Debt Restructuring and the Proposed Private Placement.
3.3 Proposed Rights Issue
The rationale and justification for the Proposed Rights Issue are as follows: (i) to recapitalise the balance sheet of the Company after the Proposed
Capital Reduction;
(ii) to enable the Group to raise funds primarily to part finance the Group’s capital expenditure for the increase in the capacity of its TCL operations, upgrading of its existing facilities and partial repayment of borrowings;
(iii) to provide existing shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for new
Haisan Shares to further participate in the equity of the Company and the prospects and future growth;
(iv) the Warrants to be issued for free pursuant to the Proposed Rights Issue
will provide the existing shareholders with an attractive option to increase their equity participation in Haisan at a predetermined exercise price during the tenure of the Warrants. In addition, proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, if any, in the future will be utilised for the Group’s future expansion and/or working capital requirements including the monthly repayment of the principal and interest of the New Term Loans due to the Scheme Lenders; and
(v) to minimise the immediate dilution effect on the earning per share
(“EPS”) of the Group arising from the issuance of the Warrants which would otherwise arise from a full equity issue.
- 27 -
3.4 Proposed Debt Restructuring
The rationale and justification for the Proposed Debt Restructuring are as follows: (i) to allow the Group more time to revive and rebuilt its financial position
through the restructuring of indebtedness owing to the Secured Lenders converted into new term loans. The Group only needs to service interest for the first three (3) years and principal and interest repayment will commence in the fourth (4th) anniversary year;
(ii) to reduce the total interest bearing borrowings of the Group by approximately RM40.11 million (representing approximately thirty four per centum (34%) of the Scheme Indebtedness), arising from the following settlement agreement with the Scheme Lenders pursuant to the DRA:
(a) approximately RM35.29 million owing to the Unsecured Lenders will be waived; and (b) the issuance of Settlement Shares amounting to approximately RM4.82 million.
Further, upon full conversion of the ICULS at the Maturity Date (as defined herein), the borrowings of the Group will reduce by approximately RM9.86 million. The reduction in borrowings will accordingly reduce the gearing of the Group;
(iii) more importantly, with the above debts agreed to be restructured by the
Scheme Lenders, the waiver of certain amount of debts and the partial settlement via the issuance of ICULS with Warrants and Settlement Shares, this is expected to reduce the debt servicing burden of the Group. In addition, the Group will be able to preserve its cash flows to meet working capital requirement of the Group as the servicing of the principal portion of the debts restructured into the New Term Loans would be deferred for a three (3) year period;
(iv) savings in interest cost as the coupon rate of 4.5% per annum of the
ICULS is lower than the effective interest rate of all the debts due to
the Unsecured Lenders as at the 30 November 2011. In addition, part
of the Settlement Shares to be issued comprise of interest paid in
advance of RM0.59 million to the Unsecured Lenders, further
preserving the cash flows of the Group for its working capital
requirements;
(v) the settlement of the borrowings substantially via the issuance of
ICULS will minimise the immediate dilution effects on the earnings per share of the Group (until and unless the ICULS are converted), which would otherwise arise from an equity issue; and
- 28 -
(vi) the Warrants to be issued for free and the issuance of the ICULS
pursuant to the Proposed Debt Restructuring may raise proceeds as and
when the Warrants are exercised for new Haisan Shares at a pre-
determined exercise price or when the ICULS are converted (via
partially in the form of cash) in the future. This will provide an
additional source of funds to be used for the Group’s future expansion
and/or working capital requirements including the monthly repayment
of the principal and interest of the New Term Loans due to the Scheme
Lenders.
3.5 Proposed Private Placement The Proposed Private Placement will enable Haisan to raise funds to meet its immediate funding requirements without relying entirely on the equity funding from the existing shareholders of the Company. When implemented, the Proposed Private Placement will serve to increase the capitalisation of the Company and further strengthen the financial position of Haisan.
3.6 Proposed Exemption
As set out in Section 2.6 of this Announcement, ACV or OCY is obliged to undertake a mandatory take-over offer under the Code for the remaining Haisan Shares and convertible securities not already owned by ACV and OCY and the PACs with them after the Proposed Rights Issue in view of the Undertakings to enable the Minimum Subscription Level to be achieved and the obligation of OCY under the Put and Call Options with the Unsecured Lenders. The Proposed Exemption is proposed to allow, amongst others, the following: (i) Haisan to successfully complete the Proposed Rights Issue and the
Proposed Debt Restructuring
(ii) The Put and Call Option granted by OCY to the Unsecured Lenders are pursuant to the terms of the DRA; and
(iii) ACV and OCY to extend their support for the Proposed Rights Issue, a
critical component of the Proposed Regularisation Plan to address the
financial conditions of the Group. Without the Undertakings, no
assurance that the Proposed Rights Issue can be implemented as
capacity to underwrite the Rights Shares by third parties is challenging
under present circumstances.
It is not the intention of ACV, OCY and the PACs with them to undertake the mandatory take-over offer pursuant to Part III of the Code. Therefore, the Proposed Exemption, which is allowable under the provision of the Code (subject to amongst others, the approval of the non-interested shareholders and thereafter the SC) would provide an avenue for ACV and OCY, who are already the major shareholders of Haisan, to be exempted from undertaking the mandatory take-over obligation.
- 29 -
4. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED REGULARISATION PLAN The Proposed M&A Amendments and the Proposed Exemption will not have any
effect on the share capital, consolidated net assets, gearing, consolidated earnings and substantial shareholders’ shareholdings of the Company.
The proforma effects of the Proposed Capital Reduction, the Proposed Rights Issue, the Proposed Debt Restructuring and the Proposed Private Placement are set out below:
4.1 Share Capital
The proforma effects of the Proposed Capital Reduction, the Proposed Debt Restructuring, the Proposed Rights Issue and the Proposed Private Placement on the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company are as set out in Table 3 of the Appendix of this Announcement.
4.2 Net Assets and Gearing

4.3 Shareholding Structure of Substantial Shareholders
The proforma effects of the Proposed Capital Reduction, the Proposed Debt Restructuring, the Proposed Rights Issue and the Proposed Private Placement on the shareholdings of the substantial shareholders of Haisan as at 30 November 2011, assuming that the Proposed Capital Reduction, the Proposed Debt Restructuring, the Proposed Rights Issue and the Proposed Private Placement had been effected on that date, are set out in Table 5 of the Appendix of this Announcement.
4.4 Earnings
The Proposed Capital Reduction is not expected to have any impact on the earnings of the Group.

The Proposed Debt Restructuring is expected to result in annual interest
savings of approximately RM4.04 million arising from the reduction of
borrowings resulting from the following:
(i) interest payable on the debts of RM35.29 million waived by the
Unsecured Lenders;
- 30 -
(ii) issuance of the Settlement Shares to partially settle the debts due to the
Unsecured Lenders; and
(iii) coupon rate of 4.5% per annum of the ICULS which is lower as
compared to the original average interest rate payable to the Unsecured
Lenders prior to the Proposed Debt Restructuring of 7.82% per annum.
Further, the Group will recognise a one-off gain of approximately RM35.29
million or EPS of up to 13.74 sen from the waiver of debt by the Unsecured
Lenders pursuant to the Proposed Debt Restructuring under the Minimum
Scenario.
The Proposed Rights Issue is expected to contribute positively to the Group as the Group will be utilising up to approximately RM10 million of the proceeds raised from the Proposed Rights Issue to fund the expansion of its TCL capacity in Malaysia and the interest savings arising from the partial repayment of up to approximately RM3.74 million of bank borrowings of approximately RM0.26 million per annum (assuming the average interest rate of 6.85 % per annum as at the 30 November 2011.) under the Maximum Scenario.
Subject to the level of return on equity generated by the Company from the
use of proceeds from the Proposed Rights Issue and the Proposed Private
Placement and proceeds arising from the exercise of the Warrants and the
conversion of ICULS (if any) and the future earnings of the Group, on a
standalone basis, the EPS of the Group may be diluted as a result of the
enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of the Company after the:
(i) Proposed Rights Issue,
(ii) issuance of the Settlement Shares to the Unsecured Lenders;
(iii) Proposed Private Placement; and
(iv) issuance of new Haisan Shares arising from the exercise of the
Warrants and the conversion of ICULS.

In accordance with the By-Laws governing the ESOS, which will expire on 21 September 2013, the Proposed Rights Issue may give rise to certain adjustments to the exercise price and the number of outstanding ESOS Options. Any necessary adjustments arising from the Proposed Rights Issue, where applicable, will only be finalised by the Board at a later date. A notification to grantees of the ESOS Options explaining the mechanism of any adjustments to their ESOS Options will be issued immediately after the finalisation of the necessary adjustments.
