1. Introduction 1.1 With effect from 1 st July 2000, the new provisions under Division 4 of Part IV of the Act alter the present regulatory scheme for trust deeds in a number of ways: Where a debenture issue, offer or invitation is made by any corporation (including public or private limited companies), there is now a positive requirement for such issue, offer or invitation to have a trust deed; and These Guidelines provide for the minimum contents requirements for such trust deed. 1.2 The requirements as stipulated under these Guidelines are in addition to all requirements imposed on a borrower, guarantor and trustee under the law which includes the provisions of the Act. It is not intended for these Guidelines to derogate from any requirement of the law. 1.3 These Guidelines seek to strengthen protection given to debenture holders. However, they do not seek to impose worded clauses in any trust deed in relation to debentures. Therefore, parties are free to determine additional provisions, covenants or terms and conditions of debentures and/or trust deeds over and above that which is stipulated in these Guidelines. 1.4 Listed corporations should additionally comply with such requirements pertaining to trust deeds as may be required by rules of any Malaysian stock exchange. 3

2. Interpretation 2.1 In these Guidelines unless the contrary is expressly stated, the following words have the following meanings: Act means the Securities Commission Act 1993; debenture has the same meaning as in section 2 of the Act; borrower has the same meaning as in section 2 of the Securities Commission Act 1993. In the case of Islamic debentures, the term borrower in these Guidelines refers to the entity who receives proceeds or money from the debenture issue, offer or invitation. FAST means the Fully Automated System for Tendering; RENTAS means Real Time Electronic Transfer of Funds and Securities System. 3. Scope 3.1 Pursuant to section 67 of the Act, any person who proposes to issue, offer for subscription or purchase, or issue an invitation to subscribe for or purchase, debentures, must enter into a trust deed that meets the requirements of section 68 of the Act and these Guidelines. 3.2 These Guidelines do not apply to any issue of, offer for subscription or purchase of, or invitation to subscribe for or purchase, debentures as specified in Schedule 4 of the Act which is attached as Appendix 1 for ease of reference. 3.3 For purposes of these Guidelines, where relevant, parties may negotiate for references to borrower to include references to its 4

subsidiaries where the affairs of its subsidiaries may impact on the ability of the borrower to repay amounts payable under the debentures. 3.4 Where any provision stated in the Guidelines is based on a test of materiality, that test shall be decided upon by the relevant parties. 4. Preamble and Recitals 4.1 The following must be provided for in the preamble and recitals of the trust deed in relation to the issue of, offer for subscription or purchase of, or an invitation to subscribe for or purchase, debentures: the identities of the parties to the trust deed; a brief description of the debentures including the amount and maturity of the debentures as well as the interest or profit rate (where applicable); (iii) a statement confirming that the relevant board and/or shareholders resolution(s) and regulatory approvals have been obtained; (iv) the date of issue/proposed issue for the debentures and whether the debentures will be issued/tendered under FAST and/or RENTAS. 5
