Pursuant to the MOU, MBI will appoint XOX as its technology partner and will pave the road for XOX to provide technical proposals for MBI to consider implementing based on a public’s needs basis. The parties further agreed that the MOU will lay the foundations for individual projects to be presented in due course by XOX to MBI with each separate project having its own formal and commercial agreements.

(a) the execution of the formal and definitive agreement between the parties;

(b) termination of the MOU by either party at any time on giving 30 days’ notice in writing to the other party; or

(c) the date being 12 months from the Commencement Date, on which date the MOU shall automatically expire, provided that no later than 30 days before the expiry date, the parties may agree in writing to extend the term of the MOU for such further period as the parties shall agree in writing.

The MOU will not have any effect on the share capital and substantial shareholders’ shareholdings of XOX. The MOU is also not expected to have any material immediate effect on the earnings per share, net assets per share and gearing of the Group for the financial year ending 30 September 2022.

None of the directors and/or major shareholders of the Company and/or persons connected with them have any interest, whether direct or indirect, in the MOU.
