BY ORDER OF THE BOARD
For and on behalf of

Channel Islands
DATED 16 August 2021
NOTES:
1. COVID update
The following notes remain subject to restrictions that may be in place at the time of the Annual General Meeting arising from the COVID-19 situation. It is the Company's intention to proceed with holding the Annual General Meeting on 9th September 2021 at 4 p.m. Malaysian Time as an open meeting and therefore the Board invites shareholders to attend the meeting in person, should they wish to do so. This is in anticipation of relaxation of current COVID-19 restrictions in Malaysia in advance of the AGM. However, the situation and restrictions are changing frequently at present. In light of this, the Company may need to hold the meeting as a closed meeting with the minimum number of shareholders present in order to meet the quorum requirements to validly hold the meeting. In such circumstances, the Company will notify shareholders of this change and, to cover this eventuality, shareholders are encouraged to use their right to appoint the Chair of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy. Shareholders can do this by utilising one of the methods detailed in paragraph [7] of the notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting below as early as possible. If it becomes necessary for the Company to hold a closed meeting then the meeting will need to take place with the minimum quorum of shareholders present in order to conduct the business of the meeting (being two shareholders). In such circumstances, we will be requiring that all other shareholders do not physically attend the meeting but instead appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy (either electronically or by post) in accordance with their voting instructions. Any shareholder who attempts to attend the closed meeting in person will be refused entry. The submission of a proxy form in this manner will not preclude shareholders from attending the meeting in person. [We also encourage you to submit questions in advance of the AGM. To do so, please email your question to agm2021@davictus.co.uk by 9 am (BST) on 21st September 2021. The Hybrid meeting will also held this time. Investor relation team will send the online invitation after the shareholders submitted the votes via proxy form to agm2021@davictus.co.uk and show interests to join online meeting.
2. As a member of the Company you are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote on your behalf at a general meeting of the Company.
3. A proxy does not need to be a member of the Company but must attend the meeting to represent you. We strongly advise all shareholders to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy given the potential limitations on physical participation in the event that the Annual General Meeting needs to be a closed one (see COVID-19 update above), as physical attendance at the meeting by others will be restricted in line with our Articles of Association and current guidance and legislation. Your proxy must vote as you instruct and must attend the meeting for your vote to be counted. Details of how to appoint the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting or another person as your proxy using the Form of Proxy are set out in the notes to the Form of Proxy.
4. The return of a completed proxy form, other such instrument or any CREST proxy instruction (as described in note 13 below) does not preclude you from attending the meeting and voting in person. If you have appointed a proxy and attend the meeting in person, your proxy appointment will automatically be terminated.
5. To direct your proxy how to vote on the resolutions mark the appropriate box on your proxy form with an 'X'. To abstain from voting on a resolution, select the relevant "Vote withheld" box. A vote withheld is not a vote in law, which means that the vote will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution. If no voting indication is given, your proxy will vote or abstain from voting at his or her discretion. Your proxy will vote (or abstain from voting) as he or she thinks fit in relation to any other matter which is put before the meeting.
6. To be valid any proxy form or other instrument appointing a proxy must be:
a) completed and signed;
b) sent or delivered to Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited, c/o The Pavilions, Bridgewater Road, Bristol, BS99 6ZY ;
c) received by Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited no later than 4 p.m. (BST), on 21 September 2020
d) received in electronic form via email at agm2020@davictus.co.uk no later than 4 p.m. (BST), on 21 September 2020.
7. In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
8. In the case of a member which is a company, your proxy form must be executed under its common seal or signed on its behalf by a duly authorised officer of the Company or an attorney for the Company.
9. Any power of attorney or any other authority under which your proxy form is signed (or a duly certified copy of such power or authority) must be included with your proxy form.
10. If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.
11. You may not use any electronic address provided in your proxy form to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.
12. The issued share capital of the Company consists of 13,350,000 ordinary shares, carrying, on a poll vote, one vote each. Therefore, the total number of voting rights of the Company on a poll vote is 13,350,000
13. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the Annual General Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider should refer to their CREST sponsors or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by means of CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction ) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's agent, Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited (CREST Participant ID: 3RA50 ), no later than 48 hours, excluding any day that is not a business day, before the time appointed for the meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the Company's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST.
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsor or voting service provider should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider takes) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsor or voting service provider are referred in particular to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
14. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in article 34 of the Companies (Uncertificated Securities) (Jersey) Order 1999.
15. Only those members entered on the register of members of the Company by the close of business in Jersey on 21 September 2021 or, in the event that this meeting is adjourned, in the register of members as at the close of business in Jersey on the day two days before the date of any adjourned meeting, shall be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting in respect of the number of ordinary shares registered in their names at that time. Changes to the entries on the register of members after the close of business in Jersey on 21 September 2021 or, in the event that this meeting is adjourned, in the register of members before the close of business on the day two days before the date of the adjourned meeting, shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or vote at the meeting.
16. Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
17. Any member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company has to answer any questions raised by members at the meeting which relate to the business being dealt with at the meeting unless:
a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential or 'inside' information;
b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or
c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting to answer the question.
18. Any shareholder may individually rescind their approval of the Company sending notices or other documentation to them by electronic means by notice in writing to the Company at 28 Esplanade, St Helier, Jersey, JE2 3QA.
