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.
