    3. RATIONALE

    The Proposed SD1 Acquisition will enable the DMB Group to own and operate SD1 instead of chartering SD1 from SORA. The Proposed SD1 Acquisition will further enhance the operating cost structure of SD1, which is expected to contribute positively to the future profitability of the DMB Group. The Proposed Acquisition is also in line with the DMB Groups business strategy to own operating assets to expand its range of subsea services and enhance its subsea capabilities in offshore oil and gas operations. The Proposed SD1 Acquisition also involves the issuance of the Bonds, which will enable the DMB Group to part finance the Proposed SD1 Acquisition at a fixed rate as compared to taking up further borrowings from financial institution(s), thereby reducing the DMB Groups exposure to interest rate fluctuations, which in turn will enable the DMB Group to manage their cash flows more efficiently. In addition, the issuance of Bonds will also mitigate the immediate substantive dilutive impact on the earnings per share (EPS) which would otherwise arise from a full equity issue to part finance the Proposed SD1 Acquisition. SORA also has the option to convert the Bonds into new DMB Shares at a premium to the prevailing market price of DMB Shares, in which converted, the new DMB Shares issued will reduce the outflow of funds required from DMB to redeem the Bonds upon maturity.

    4. EFFECTS

    The Proposed SD1 Acquisition will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital and substantial shareholders shareholding. However, the conversion of Bonds will have an effect on the issued and paid-up share capital and substantial shareholders shareholding. For illustrative purposes, the proforma effects on the issued and paid-up share capital, net asset (NA) per share, gearing, earnings and EPS and the substantial shareholders shareholdings in DMB are based on the following: Minimum Scenario : Based on the assumption:

    (i) the 3,000 DMB Shares held as treasury shares (Treasury Shares)

    are retained by the Company and are not resold to the market; and

    (ii) the Bonds will be fully redeemed at the maturity date. Maximum Scenario : Based on the assumption:

    (i) the 3,000 Treasury Shares are retained by the Company and are not

    resold to the market; and (ii) the Bonds will be fully converted at the maturity date.

    4.3 Substantial shareholders shareholding

    The issuance of Bonds will not have an immediate effect on the shareholding of the substantial shareholder of the Company. However, if and when the Bonds are converted in the future, the percentage shareholding of the substantial shareholder will be diluted accordingly, the quantum of which is dependent on the nominal amount of Bonds converted.

    4.4 Earnings and EPS

    Upon the completion of the Proposed SD1 Acquisition, the DMB Group will own and operate SD1 instead of chartering SD1 from SORA, which is expected to further enhance the operating cost structure of SD1, resulting from savings on operational costs by owning as compared to chartering SD1 from SORA. The EPS of the DMB Group may be diluted as a result of the increase number of DMB Shares in issue pursuant to conversion of the Bonds. Nevertheless, the dilution impact on the EPS of the DMB Group will also depend on the actual number of new DMB Shares to be issued and the level of profits generated from the operations of the SD1.

    4.5 Convertible securities

    As at 15 April 2015, the Company does not have any outstanding convertible securities. 5. APPROVALS REQUIRED

    The Proposed SD1 Acquisition is subject to approvals being obtained from the following: (i) the SC, for the issuance of the Bonds; (ii) Bursa Securities for the listing of and quotation for the new DMB Shares to be issued

    pursuant to the conversion of the Bonds;

    (i) the shareholders of DMB at an EGM to be convened; and (ii) other relevant authorities/parties, if required. The Proposed SD1 Acquisition is not conditional upon any other corporate exercise undertaken or to be undertaken by the Company.

If Technip does exercise its right to cancel, then neither party is liable to the other except that DMBs subsidiary is liable for liquidated damages. There is a right for the said subsidiary to withdraw the vessel from Technip in respect of non-payment of hire and to terminate.

This principle applies irrespective of blame and seeks to save time and expenses in connection with casualties. Save for agreed damages, neither the said subsidiary or Technip are liable to the other for consequential losses.
