STRUCTURED WARRANTS RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

 

1.   The Statement is provided to you in accordance with the directive of the Committee of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad dated 6 December 1994 pursuant to Article 50 (c) of the Articles of Exchange.

 

2.   The purpose of this statement is to inform you that the risk of loss in purchasing structured warrants can be substantial. You should therefore assess if the purchase of structured warrants is suitable for you in light of your financial circumstances. In deciding whether to purchase structured warrants you should be aware of the following:-

 

      I. The purchaser of a structured warrant is subject to the risk of losing the full purchase price of the structured warrant and all transaction costs;

      II. In order to realize any value from a structured warrant, it is necessary to sell the structured warrants or exercise the structured warrants on or before their expiry date;

          III. Under certain conditions, it may become difficult to sell the structured warrants;

      IV. Upon exercise of the structured warrants, the issuer may settle its obligations via actual delivery of the underlying assets, in cash or a combination of both depending on the terms of the issue of the structured warrants;

      V. Placing of contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” orders, will not necessary limit your losses to the intended amount. Market conditions may not make it possible to execute such orders; and

      VI. The high degree of leverage that is obtainable from structured warrants because of the small initial outlay can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gain.

 

3.     This brief statement cannot disclose all the risk and other aspects of purchasing structured warrants. You should therefore carefully study the Terms and Conditions of any structured warrant before you decide to purchase. If you are in doubt in relation to any aspect of the statement or the terms of structured warrant, you should consult your broker.

Any monies received hereunder may be placed and kept to the credit of a suspense account for so long as you may think fit without obligation in the meantime to apply the same or any part  thereof in or towards discharge of the Indebtedness due by me to you.   Notwithstanding any such payment, in the event of proceedings in or analogous to liquidation composition or arrangement you may prove for and agree to accept any dividend or composition in respect of the whole or any part of the Indebtedness in the same manner as if this security had not been created.

20.

No delay or omission on your part in exercising any right power privilege or remedy in respect of this MOD shall impair such right power privilege or remedy or be construed as a waiver nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right power privilege or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right power privilege or remedy.
