The issue price of the Rights Shares at RM1.00 per Rights Share and the exercise price of the Rights Warrants at RM1.00 per Rights Warrant, represent a discount of approximately 2% respectively over the theoretical ex-all price of SCIB Shares of RM1.02, calculated based on the five day weighted average market price of SCIB Shares from 26 March 2003 to 1 April 2003 of RM2.32 (both dates inclusive) preceding the Price Fixing Date.

In addition, AmMerchant Bank also wishes to announce that the issue price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition is fixed at RM1.46, i.e. being the higher of the theoretical ex-all price of RM1.02 or RM1.46 as approved by the SC, which was announced on 27 March 2003.
