3. Lexis Suites, Penang with 2 AC and 1 DC chargers.

Pursuant to the Novation Agreements, MBC will now assume all rights, responsibilities, and obligations relating to the installation, operation, maintenance and management of the EV charging infrastructure at the above locations.

Rationale

The novation of the Principal Agreements from ChargeHere is aligned with the objectives of the Joint Venture Agreement, which designates MBC as the vehicle to undertake EV charging infrastructure projects. It ensures all commercial benefits accrue to MBC and that both parties act in good faith to avoid conflicts and prioritise opportunities under the joint venture.

Risk Factors

There are no foreseeable material risks arising from the Novation Agreements other than the usual operational and/business risks associated with the implementation and maintenance of the EV charging stations during the contract period. While MBGB does not foresee any exceptional risks beyond those typical of such contracts, it is aware that unforeseen circumstances could arise that may impact performance. MBGB will take the necessary steps to mitigate the risks as and when it occurs.

Financial Effects

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the novation of the Principal Agreements to MBC is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of MBGB and its subsidiaries (“Group”) including MBC as a whole for the duration of the respective agreements.
