  • 3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

    IE Centre has maintained a stable increase in income stream and profit track record for the last three financial years respectively. IE Centre and Kampar Eye recorded approximately RM4,362,000 and RM855,000 respectively in audited profits after tax for the financial years ended 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2021 respectively. Further, the Proposed Transaction is beneficial to the Company as it increases the Company's core capabilities given that the principal activities of IE Centre and Kampar Eye are complementary and synergistic with the Company's business.

    IE Centre and Kampar Eye are expected to provide the Group with a growing stream of recurring income and cash flow in Malaysia where the demand for specialised and quality medical eye care services is expected to increase. The Group's further venture into eye clinics is also well-placed in the strategic roadmap for the Group's expansion and can potentially accelerate the revenue growth and execution of the business strategies of the Group.

    The Group considers partial settlement of the Purchase Consideration by way of the allotment and issue of Consideration Shares to be advantageous to the Group as it would conserve the Group's cash reserves and delivers long-term benefit to the Company.
