Status of Legalisation of Outdoor Structures
[Disclosed in accordance with letter from SC dated 12 February 2014]
Pursuant to the approval from Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) in 2008 in relation to, amongst others, TM Group’s demerger and the listing of
Axiata, Axiata is required to obtain the relevant approvals for the transmission towers and rooftop sites (Outdoor Structures) of Celcom Group within
two years from the date of the SC’s approval letter (Timing Conditions).
SC had, in 2010 and 2012, granted an extension of time for Axiata to comply with the Timing Conditions until 29 January 2012 and 29 January 2014
respectively.
Following the application submitted by CIMB Investment Bank Berhad, on behalf of Axiata, for further extension of time for the legalisation of the
remaining 28 Outdoor Structures, SC had, via their letter dated 12 February 2014, granted an exemption to Axiata from complying with the Timing
Conditions, subject to, amongst others, Axiata disclosing the status of the legalisation in its annual report until such time the necessary approvals are
obtained.
As at 31 March 2016, 21 Outdoor Structures remained to be legalised. Applications for nine sites are pending approval from local authorities with
one application in the process of finalisation for submission. Based on current regulations, the application for the remaining 11 sites could not be
submitted at this juncture to the local authorities.
