We refer to the announcements made on 21 March 2014 and 21 July 2017 on the receipt of a Letter of Award (“LOA”) by BHIC AeroServices Sdn Bhd (“BHICAS”) from the Ministry of Defence Malaysia ("MOD") in relation to the provision of maintenance and supply of spares for the Royal Malaysian Air Force EC725 Helicopters via In-Service Support (“the ISS Contract”).

BHICAS is a joint venture between BHIC Defence Technologies Sdn Bhd (51 percent), Prestige Pillar Sdn Bhd (30 percent) and Airbus Helicopters Malaysia Sdn Bhd (19 percent).

The Company wishes to announce that BHICAS has accepted a letter dated 12 August 2020 from MOD for the extension of the ISS Contract for another three (3) years, effective from 1 April 2020 (“the Extended LOA”) with an additional ceiling contract value of RM113.2 million. The new total ceiling contract value is RM548.2 million only.

Apart from the extension of the Contract period and revision of Contract value, there are no significant differences between the substance of the Contract and the Extended LOA.
