N.U.R Power Sdn Bhd
Information Memorandum

The illustrative diagram of the Sukuk Mudharabah transaction is as follows:

Step 1 : The Trustee on behalf of the potential investors shall enter into a Mudharabah
Venture (“MV”) in its capacity as capital provider (“Rabb al-mal” or
“Sukukholders”) with the Issuer in its capacity as a manager (“Mudharib”).
The MV shall be the business venture(s) entered into or to be entered into
between the Issuer and the Sukukholders upon the terms of the MV agreement
which involves Shariah compliant investments by the Issuer/Mudharib.

Step 2 : Under the MV, as the Rabb al-mal, the Sukukholders shall contribute 100%
capital for the amount of up to RM650.0 million (“Mudharabah Capital”) and
the Sukukholders’ participation is via subscription of the Sukuk Mudharabah
issued by the Issuer under the Sukuk Mudharabah Facility. The Sukuk
Mudharabah shall represent the Sukukholders’ undivided proportionate interest
in the pool of Trust Assets (as defined herein) to be managed by the Issuer,
hence entitling the Sukukholders to receive its profit portion of the MV.

Step 3 : The Issuer shall subsequently make a declaration of trust (“Declaration of


Trust”) in favour of the Sukukholders over all the Issuer’s interests in the MV
and rights under all agreements relating to the MV and as prescribed in the
Declaration of Trust to be the trust assets (“Trust Assets”).

Step 4 : The profit sharing ratio in the MV between the Issuer and the Sukukholders is
10:90, respectively. Any profit in the MV shall be shared with the Sukukholders
in accordance with an agreed profit sharing ratio of the Sukuk Mudharabah but
the profit due to the Sukukholders shall be subject to a maximum amount
equivalent to the Expected Profit (as defined below) as agreed by the
Sukukholders. In the event the MV makes a loss, the loss shall be borne solely
by the Sukukholders, unless the Manager is not acting bona fide in the interest of
the MV.

The Expected Profit to the Sukukholders under the MV shall be the yield-to-

Private & Confidential Page 11


N.U.R Power Sdn Bhd
Information Memorandum

maturity of the relevant Sukuk Mudharabah at the point of issuance of the Sukuk
Mudharabah tranche calculated up to the Scheduled Dissolution Date or the
Dissolution Declaration Date (each as defined in the Principal Terms and
Conditions), whichever is applicable.

Income from the MV, for distribution to the Sukukholders, shall be based on the
Expected Profit which is an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face
value of the Sukuk Mudharabah per annum, calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days in the relevant period (“Expected Periodic Distribution”) and
will be distributed periodically in the form of periodic distribution (“Periodic
Distribution”). The Periodic Distribution shall be made semi-annually.

8 KEY RISKS AND INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain investment considerations of the Sukuk Mudharabah


which prospective Investors should be aware; however this summary is not intended to be
exhaustive and the Investors should read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this
Information Memorandum. Prospective investors should undertake their own investigations
and analysis on the Issuer, its business and the risks associated with the issue and should
consider carefully, in light of their own financial circumstances and investment objectives, the
investment considerations set forth below along with other information set forth in this
Information Memorandum before making an investment decision.

8.1 Considerations relating to the Sukuk Mudharabah

8.1.1 Rating of the Sukuk Mudharabah is no guarantee of Issuer's paying ability

It is a condition to the issuance of the Sukuk Mudharabah that they shall be accorded
a rating of AAA. The Sukuk Mudharabah has been accorded an indicative rating of
AAA(bg)/AAA(fg) by the Rating Agency.

A rating addresses the likelihood of full and timely payment of interest and principal
to the holders of the Sukuk Mudharabah. A rating is not a recommendation to buy,
hold or sell the Sukuk Mudharabah and there can be no assurance that such a rating
will not be revised on a periodic review basis by the said rating agency during the
tenure of the Sukuk Mudharabah or that such a rating will not be withdrawn entirely
if circumstances in the future so warrant.

Further, such a rating is not a guarantee of payment or that there will be no default by
the Issuer or its Guarantors under the Sukuk Mudharabah. In the event that the ratings
initially assigned to the Sukuk Mudharabah are subsequently lowered or withdrawn
for any reason, no person or entity will be obligated to provide any additional credit
enhancement with respect to the Sukuk Mudharabah. Any downgrade or withdrawal
of a rating will not necessarily constitute a Dissolution Event but may have an
adverse effect on the liquidity and the market price of the Sukuk Mudharabah.

8.1.2 Issuer's ability to meet its obligations under the Sukuk Mudharabah

The Sukuk Mudharabah represent the direct obligations of the Issuer. Under the terms
of the Sukuk Mudharabah, payment under the Sukuk Mudharabah will not be the
obligations or responsibilities of any other person other than Issuer. In particular, the
Sukuk Mudharabah will not be the obligations or responsibilities of the Principal
Adviser/Lead Arranger/Lead Manager, the Facility Agent, the Trustee or any
subsidiary or affiliate thereof, and any other person involved or interested in the
transactions envisaged under the Sukuk Mudharabah.

8.1.3 Sukuk Mudharabah are unsecured obligations

The Sukuk Mudharabah are unsecured obligations of the Issuer and accordingly the
Sukukholders will not have any priority right in respect of its recourse to the assets of
the Issuer to satisfy payment obligations of the Issuer under the Sukuk Mudharabah.
Although the Sukuk Mudharabah are supported by the Bank Guarantee-i pursuant to
the BG-i Facility and Danajamin Kafalah pursuant to the Al-Kafalah Facility, such
financial guarantees are merely contractual obligations of the respective Guarantors to
pay the guaranteed amount on demand upon occurrence of certain specified event(s)
and does not confer on the Sukukholders with rights to priority of payment out of the

Private & Confidential Page 38


N.U.R Power Sdn Bhd
Information Memorandum

assets of the Issuer in the event of insolvency or winding up of the Issuer.


Sukukholders are considered unsecured creditors of the Issuer.

8.1.4 Payment Risk

The primary source of the payment on the Sukuk Mudharabah will be the operating
cash flows from the subsidiaries of NUR Power. NUR Generation and NUR
Distribution may not be able to generate sufficient operating cash flows in time to
meet the Issuer’s repayment obligations under the Sukuk Mudharabah and upon
expiry of the tenure, there is also uncertainty as to whether the Issuer will be able to
obtain refinancing to settle all outstanding Sukuk Mudharabah under the Sukuk
Mudharabah Facility.

8.1.5 Liquidity of the Sukuk Mudharabah

The Sukuk Mudharabah comprise a new issue of securities for which there is
currently no public market. The Sukuk Mudharabah will not be listed on Bursa
Malaysia Securities Berhad or any other exchange. In other words, there can be no
assurance regarding the future development of a secondary market for the Sukuk
Mudharabah and liquidity of any market that may develop, the ability of the
Sukukholders to sell their Sukuk Mudharabah, or the prices at which such
Sukukholders may be able to sell their Sukuk Mudharabah. In the event that a
secondary market for the Sukuk Mudharabah does develop, there is no assurance that
it will continue. Accordingly, the purchase or subscription of the Sukuk Mudharabah
is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with a lack of liquidity
in the Sukuk Mudharabah apart from the financial and other risks associated with an
investment in the Sukuk Mudharabah. Notwithstanding the above, as the Sukuk
Mudharabah are assigned a long term rating of AAA(bg) /AAA(fg) by the Rating
Agency, there is a high level of liquidity due to strong demand for highly rated
papers, by virtue that the Sukuk Mudharabah are irrevocably and unconditionally
guaranteed by the Guarantee Facilities.

8.1.6 The market value of the Sukuk Mudharabah may be subject to fluctuation

Trading prices of the Sukuk Mudharabah may be influenced by numerous factors,


including the general political, economic, financial and any other factors that can
affect capital markets in general. Any adverse economic and financial developments
could have an effect on the market value of the Sukuk Mudharabah.

8.1.7 An investment in the Sukuk Mudharabah is subject to interest rate risk

The Sukuk Mudharabah are fixed income securities and may therefore see their prices
fluctuate due to movements in interest rates. Generally, a rise in interest rates may
cause a fall in the price of the Sukuk Mudharabah. The Sukuk Mudharabah may be
similarly affected resulting in a capital loss for the Sukukholders. Conversely, when
interest rates fall, the prices of the Sukuk Mudharabah and the price at which the
Sukuk Mudharabah trade may rise. Sukukholders may enjoy a capital gain but profit
received may be reinvested for lower returns.

8.1.8 An investment in the Sukuk Mudharabah is subject to inflation risk

The Sukukholders would have an anticipated rate of return based on expected


inflation rates on the purchase of the Sukuk Mudharabah. An unexpected increase in
inflation could reduce the real rate of return to the Sukukholders.

Private & Confidential Page 39


N.U.R Power Sdn Bhd
Information Memorandum

8.1.9 Risks Inherent to the Guarantors

The Sukuk Mudharabah are guaranteed by Danajamin and Maybank Islamic, in


respect of the payment obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the Exercise Price under
the Purchase Undertaking in respect of the nominal value of the Al-Kafalah Tranche
and one Periodic Distribution payment (not including compensation for late payment
and other charges in respect of the Sukuk Mudharabah). The payment under such
Guarantee Facilities will be dependent upon the financial strength and the ability to
pay of the respective Guarantors and subject to the risks inherent to the business and
operations of the respective Guarantors.

The prospective investors are requested to conduct their own independent assessment
and evaluation of the Guarantors.

8.2 Considerations relating to the Issuer and its business

8.2.1 Demand Risk

As an IPU with exclusive rights to generate and distribute electricity to tenants of


KHTP, the Issuer is dependent on electricity demand from tenants of KHTP. The
majority of tenants in KHTP are multinational high technology manufacturing
industries involved in the fields of electronics, mechatronics, telecommunications,
photovoltaics, biomedical, advances material and companies involved in research and
development.

Electricity demand in KHTP has risen in tandem with the increase of tenants in KHTP
with 10.6% growth recorded for the period from December 2010 to December 2011.
As of 29 February 2012, electricity park demand is reported to be around 176.74 MW.

As at 29 February 2012, approximately 97% of electricity produced is supplied to 27


industrial customers (33kV and 11kV), of which five (5) industrial customers
constitute 72% of demand in the electricity supplied. These customers include First
Solar (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, Intel Technology Sdn Bhd, Fuji Electric (Malaysia) Sdn
Bhd, Infineon Technologies (Kulim) Sdn Bhd and SilTerra Malaysia Sdn Bhd.
Demand from these industrial customers are deemed stable and the risk for these
industrial customers to discontinue their operations in the short-to-medium future is
further mitigated by the following factors:

(a) Significant investments made to set up and establish their facilities at KHTP;
and
(b) Majority of the high-voltage customers are global multi-national companies and
have a minimum of three years’ operating presence in KHTP.

8.2.2 Revocation of Licences

The Licences granted by the Energy Commission may be revoked by the Energy
Commission where any of the conditions imposed in the Licences is breached. NUR
Power Group will take all the necessary steps and measures to be in compliance with
all conditions of the Licences to mitigate the risk of having the Licences suspended or
revoked.
The governing laws are subject to change from time to time which is not within the
control of the Issuer. Notwithstanding this, NUR Power Group will take all steps
necessary to be in compliance with the applicable governing laws.

8.2.3 Operations and Maintenance Risk

NUR Power Group faces the ongoing risk of operation which includes but not limited
to meet technical parameters such as heat rate, system availability, system reliability,
breakdown, failure of equipment or the aging of equipment. Any of the foregoing
could increase the costs of operating the plant including maintenance and repair costs,
hence reducing the net income and cashflow to NUR Power Group.

These risks are addressed to a certain extent via the appointment of EMAS through
the OMMA to undertake the operations and maintenance of the power plant. The
OMMA which is expected to be supplemented will be expected to expire in June
2014.

The operations and maintenance risks is also mitigated to a certain extent by virtue of
EMAS conducting its role in collaboration with the ESBI. ESBI is a growing
international energy company and one of Europe's leading engineering and
consultancy organizations. ESBI invests in, develops, owns, operates and maintains
power stations both nationally and internationally, and also trades electricity in
competitive European energy markets. However, there can be no assurance that the
Issuer’s financial position will not be materially affected in the event EMAS does not
perform satisfactorily according to the OMMA.

8.2.4 Gas Supply Risk

NUR Power Group is solely reliant on the supply of gas from Petronas in order to
generate electricity. Any curtailment of the supply of gas would affect the operations
of the power plant and subsequently the distribution to the consumers within KHTP.

8.2.5 Gas Price

NUR Generation currently purchases gas at a subsidized rate. The gas price is
determined by the GOM, hence NUR Generation has no flexibility over determination
of gas price. There is risk that NUR Generation and NUR Distribution may not be
able to pass through the cost increase to customers which would adversely affect its
operations. The gazetted tariff increase being disproportionate to the gas price
increase is a risk to NUR Power Group.

8.2.6 TOP obligations under the Gas Supply Agreement

In accordance with the Gas Supply Agreement entered into between NUR Generation
and Petronas, NUR Generation is obliged to purchase the TOP quantity of a certain
percentage of the net ACQ of natural gas in each Gas Supply Agreement contract
year. NUR Generation is subject to the TOP charges on the shortfall of actual gas
purchased against an agreed minimum quantity of gas to be purchased by NUR
Generation. Backed by the increasing demand from major customers, NUR
Generation’s gas uptake has exceeded the TOP quantity of gas as at December 2011
with the current 2-block regime recognised under the Gas Supply Supplemental
Agreement. Where NUR Generation has in any Gas Supply Agreement contract year,
paid for any quantity of natural gas but not taken delivery of the same, NUR
Generation may subject to Petronas’ delivery capability, take delivery of such
quantities of natural gas in the following Gas Supply Agreement contract year.

8.2.7 Insurance

The operation of the power plant may be affected by many factors such as the
breakdown of equipment, financial loss resulting from interruption of business,
damage to plant, machinery and equipment, fire and lightning. The management has
taken steps to ensure that NUR Power Group’s business and assets are adequately
insured. However, there can be no assurance that the insurance cover would be
sufficient to pay for the replacement cost of all its assets, businesses or any
consequential costs arising therefrom.

Any loss in excess of insured/covered limits would result in the loss of future revenue
and the Issuer may be required to fund the repair or replacement of any asset damaged
or lost. Any such loss may adversely affect the results of operations and financial
conditions of the Issuer.

8.2.7 Cash Flow Projections

The cash flow projections of the Issuer are based on reasonable assumptions made by
the Issuer that are nevertheless subject to uncertainties and contingencies. Owing to
the subjective judgments and inherent uncertainties of the forecast/projections and
given that events and circumstances may not occur as expected, there can be no
assurance that the forecast/projections contained herein will be achieved, or, that
actual results may be materially different from those forecast/projected. A fluctuation
in the demand profile or reduction of load by the high –voltage customers resulting in
a lower demand of electricity may adversely affect the cash flow projections of the
Issuer.

8.2.8 Capital and Operational Expenditure

The operations of the NUR Power Group may be affected by unexpected capital and
operational expenditure resulting from unbudgeted items, damage to equipment and
such damage has not been insured or major purchases which have not been budgeted
for. The NUR Power Group’s ability to meet capital and operational expenditure may
be affected by unforeseen power plant outages or unplanned disruption in machinery
use which would result in the need to import electricity supply from TNB and thereby
causing the NUR Power Group to incur higher than normal charges.

8.3 General Considerations

8.3.1 Regulatory Considerations

Changes in law and regulations are unpredictable and beyond the Issuer’s control and
may affect the way the Issuer conducts its business. Such changes may be more
restrictive or result in higher costs than current requirements or otherwise materially
impact its businesses, results of operations or financial condition.

8.3.2 Political and Economic Considerations

The development and performance of the Issuer may be affected by economic and
political uncertainties, which are beyond the control of the Issuer, such as change in
government, risk of war, risk of terrorist attacks, expropriation and renegotiations or
nullification of existing contracts.

8.3.3 Change of law

10 INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

10.1 Outlook on the Malaysian Economy

The global economic and financial conditions continued to experience stress in the fourth
quarter of 2011, following heightened concerns over the resolution of the European sovereign
debt crisis. Growth in the advanced economies was affected by high unemployment, weak
housing markets and fiscal issues while growth in Asia was affected by weaker external
demand. Despite the challenging external environment, the Malaysian economy expanded by
5.2% (3Q 11: 5.8%), with growth being underpinned by domestic demand. The favourable
domestic demand conditions were supported by both private and public sector spending. On
the supply side, the services sector recorded slower growth, while the manufacturing sector
grew at a similar pace to the previous quarter, reflecting the weaker external environment
amid sustained growth in domestic activity. Other sectors, however, recorded improvements
during the quarter, while the agriculture sector continued to record strong growth. For the
whole year, the Malaysian economy expanded by 5.1%.

Domestic demand expanded by 10.5% during the quarter (3Q 11: 9.0%), driven by the
continued expansion in household and business spending, and public sector expenditure.
Private consumption increased by 7.1% (3Q 11: 7.3%), supported by favourable income
growth while public consumption expanded by 23.6% (3Q 11: 21.7%) following higher
expenditure on emoluments and supplies and services. Gross fixed capital formation
increased by 8.5% (3Q 11: 6.1%), supported by continued expansion in capital spending by
the private sector and the non-financial public enterprises. The Federal Government
development expenditure during the quarter was mostly channelled into the transportation,
and trade and industry sectors.

On the supply side, activity in the services sector moderated in the fourth quarter, while the
manufacturing sector expanded at a similar pace to the previous quarter. This trend reflected
the weaker external environment amid strong performance in domestic-oriented activity. The
agriculture sector continued to expand on account of strong production of crude palm oil,
while mining output recorded a slower contraction. The construction sector registered higher
growth, supported by the implementation of major infrastructure projects.

The headline inflation rate, as measured by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI), declined to 3.2% in the fourth quarter (3Q 11: 3.4%). Inflation in the transport
category was lower at 3.2% (3Q 11: 4.3%) as the impact of the one-off adjustment on the
prices of RON95 petrol, diesel and LPG in December 2010 wore off. Inflation in the food and
non-alcoholic beverages category, however, rose to 5.3% during the quarter (3Q 11: 4.8%),
mainly due to higher prices in the fish and seafood subcategory.

In the external sector, the current account surplus narrowed in the fourth quarter, but
remained large at RM22 billion, equivalent to 10.1% of GNI. The lower surplus reflected the
lower goods surplus, higher trade deficits and larger income outflows. The goods surplus was
slightly lower at RM36.9 billion as gross exports expanded at a more moderate pace (9.8%;
3Q 11: 11.4%), while import growth was sustained (7.6%; 3Q 11: 7.4%).
The financial account turned around from a net outflow position to record a small net inflow
of RM0.2 billion in the fourth quarter (3Q 11: -RM23.3 billion), due to the significantly
smaller net outflow of portfolio funds and higher net inflow of other investments. During the
quarter, foreign direct investment recorded a higher net inflow of RM6.5 billion (3Q 11:
+RM5.2 billion), supported by higher retained earnings by the multinational companies
(MNCs) in Malaysia and higher inflow of equity capital. Direct investments abroad by
Malaysian companies increased further to -RM14.4 billion (3Q 11: -RM12.9 billion),
reflecting higher outflow of equity capital and larger earnings retained abroad for
reinvestment purposes. The overall balance of payments continued to remain strong,

N.U.R Power Sdn Bhd
Information Memorandum

recording a surplus of RM6.3 billion in the fourth quarter (3Q 11: RM10.9 billion), as the
current account surplus remained high and the financial account registered a net inflow
position.

The international reserves of Bank Negara Malaysia amounted to RM423.4 billion


(equivalent to USD133.6 billion) as at 31 December 2011. The reserves level as at 31
December 2011 has taken into account the quarterly adjustment of the foreign exchange
revaluation loss, following the strengthening of the ringgit against some major currencies
during the quarter. As at 31 January 2012, the reserves position amounted to RM424.8 billion
(equivalent to USD134.1 billion), sufficient to finance 9.6 months of retained imports and is
4.1 times the short-term external debt.

The Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) was left unchanged at 3.00% in the fourth quarter of 2011
given the higher downside risks to growth and lower upside risks to inflation. At the
prevailing level, the OPR remains supportive of economic activity.

Reflecting the unchanged OPR, the average overnight interbank rate and interbank rates of
other maturities were relatively stable. In terms of retail interest rates, the average quoted
fixed deposit (FD) rates of commercial banks were stable during the quarter. The average
base lending rate (BLR) of commercial banks decreased slightly to 6.53% as at end-
December due to the inclusion of a new foreign bank with a lower BLR in December. The
weighted average lending rate (ALR) on loans outstanding moderated slightly to 5.66% as at
end-December 2011 (end-September 5.70%). The cost of borrowing for businesses and
households is still below pre-crisis levels and remains supportive of the economy.

In the fourth quarter, total gross financing raised by the private sector through the banking
system and the capital market increased to RM240.6 billion (3Q 11: RM223.9 billion). The
higher financing reflected increased loan disbursements during the quarter. On a net basis,
banking system loans and PDS outstanding expanded at an annual growth rate of 12.5% as at
end- December (3Q 11: 13.4%). The major loan indicators posted strong performances in the
fourth quarter.

Net funds raised in the capital market increased to RM19.4 billion during the quarter (3Q 11:
RM12.7 billion). Of this amount, RM15.9 billion was raised by the public sector. There was a
significantly lower amount of redemptions by the public sector during the quarter. In the
private sector, fund raising activity remained healthy. After adjusting for redemptions, net
funds raised by the private sector amounted to RM3.5 billion.

The monetary aggregates grew at a stronger pace during the fourth quarter. M3, or broad
money, expanded at a faster annual growth rate of 14.4% as at end-December (end-September
2011: 12.5%).

The global economic recovery continued in the fourth quarter, albeit at a more modest pace.
Growth prospects, however, have become increasingly uncertain with the emergence of
greater downside risks. In particular, policy uncertainty on the resolution of the ongoing
sovereign debt crisis in Europe amid fiscal consolidation in the advanced economies could
add further strains to the international financial system, thus affecting the prospects for
continued global growth.

For the Malaysian economy, the favourable growth in the fourth quarter was underpinned by
sustained domestic demand amid weaker external demand. Going forward, the more
challenging external environment could present greater downside risks to Malaysia’s growth
prospects. Nevertheless, domestic demand is expected to continue to be the key driver of
growth, supported primarily by the continued expansion of private sector activity. Public
sector expenditure is also expected to lend strong support to the overall growth performance.

10.2 Overview of the Utilities Sector

The 2012 Budget is anchored on the national transformation agenda, comprising four pillars
to drive change. The New Economic Model (NEM) to be achieved through the Economic
Transformation Programme (ETP) constitutes a key pillar which will propel Malaysia to a
developed and high-income economy that is both inclusive and sustainable. The ETP
comprises two parts, namely the Strategic Reform Initiatives (SRIs) and National Key
Economic Areas (NKEAs). The two other pillars are the 1Malaysia, People First,
Performance Now concept and the Government Transformation Programme (GTP). The
1Malaysia, People First Performance Now concept permeates all public sector programmes
and aims to unite all Malaysians to face the challenges ahead as a nation. Meanwhile, the GTP
was formulated to strengthen public services as well as facilitate and enable the outcomes
defined under the National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) and NKEAs. The Tenth Malaysia
Plan (10MP), the fourth pillar, provides the policy support for various programmes from 2011
to 2015.

The utilities sub-sector is expected to expand by 3.1% in 2011 (2010: 8.2%) mainly due to
higher electricity consumption in the industrial and commercial segments. During the first
seven months of 2011, electricity generation and sales rose 2.6% and 2.7% (January – July
2010: 10.7%; 13.6%), respectively. The industrial segment accounted for 43.9% of total
electricity consumption, followed by the commercial (33.8%) and household (20.8%)
segments. Maximum demand for electricity peaked at 15,476 megawatts (MW) in May 2011
(January – July 2010: 15,072 MW in May). Meanwhile, water supply to consumers increased
4.2% to 14,648 million litres per day (mld) (January – July 2010: 4.2%; 14,060mld). As of
September 2011, five states have participated in the water asset restructuring programme
aimed at ensuring sustainability and efficiency of water supply. Meanwhile, negotiations with
Kelantan and Perak are expected to be concluded by end-2011.

SHARIAH PRONOUNCEMENT

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful


All praise is due to Allah, the Cherisher of the world, and peace and blessing upon
The Prophet of Allah, on his family and all his companions

N.U.R POWER SDN BHD

PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF SUKUK OF UP TO RM650.0 MILLION IN NOMINAL VALUE


UNDER THE SHARIAH PRINCIPLE OF MUDHARABAH
("SUKUK MUDHARABAH FACILITY")

The Shariah Committee of Maybank Islamic Berhad (the "Shariah Adviser") has reviewed the
structure and mechanism to be entered into in respect of the Sukuk Mudharabah Facility to be
issued by N.U.R Power Sdn Bhd (the "Issuer" or "NUR Power") as described in the principal terms
and condition ("PTC") as attached in the Appendix.

The defined terms used in this Shariah Pronouncement have the same meanings appeared in the
PTC in respect of the Sukuk Mudharabah Facility thereto.

1. Description of the Islamic structure

The Trustee on behalf of the potential investors shall enter into a Mudharabah Venture ("MV")
in its capacity as capital provider ("Rabb ai-mal" or "Sukukholders") with the Issuer in its
capacity as a manager ("Mudharib"). The MV shall be the business venture(s) entered into or
to be entered into between the Issuer and the Sukukholders upon the terms of the MV
agreement which involves Shariah compliant investments by the Issuer/Mudharib.

Under the MV, as the Rabb ai-mal, the Sukukholders shall contribute 100% capital for the
amount of up to RM650.0 milnon ("Mudharabah Capital") and the Sukukholders' participation
is via subscription of the Sukuk issued by the Issuer ("Sukuk Mudharabah") under the Sukuk
Mudharabah Facility. The Sukuk Mudharabah issued by the Issuer shall represent the
Sukukholders' undivided proportionate interest in the pool of Trust Assets (as defined herein)
to be managed by the Issuer, hence entitling the Sukukholders to receive its profit portion of
the MV.

The Issuer shall be the Manager cum Mudharib. The Issuer as the Manager cum Mudharib
shall undertake to pay all transaction expenses incurred in relation to the MV. The Issuer shall
subsequently make a declaration of trust ("Declaration of Trust") in favour of the
Sukukholders over all the Issuer's interests in the MV and rights under all agreements relating
to the MV and as prescribed in the Declaration of Trust to be the trust assets ("Trust
Assets").

The profit sharing ratio in the MV between the Issuer and the Sukukholders is 10:90,
respectively. Any profit in the MV shall be shared with the Sukukholders in accordance with an
agreed profit sharing ratio of the Sukuk Mudharabah but the profit due to the Sukukholders
shall be subject to a maximum amount equivalent to the Expected Profit (as defined herein) as
agreed by the Sukukholders. In the event the MV makes a loss, the loss shall be borne solely
by the Sukukholders, unless the Manager is not acting bona fide in the interest of the MV.

The Expected Profit to the Sukukholders under the MV shall be the yield-to-maturity of the
relevant Sukuk Mudharabah at the point of issuance of the Sukuk Mudharabah tranche
calculated up to the Scheduled Dissolution Date or the Dissolution Declaration Date (each as
defined herein), whichever is applicable.

1
Income from the MV, for distribution to the Sukukholders, shall be based on the Expected
Profit which is an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the Sukuk
Mudharabah per annum, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant
period ("Expected Periodic Distribution") and will be distributed periodically in the form of
periodic distribution ("Periodic Distribution"). The Periodic Distribution shall be made semi-
annually.

Actual income in the MV in excess of the Expected Periodic Distribution amount shall be
retained by the Issuer as an incentive fee in its capacity as Manager cum Mudharib. The
Sukukholders shall grant waiver/tanazul in receiving any profit entitlement above the Expected
Periodic Distribution. If the actual income generated by the MV is lower than the Expected
Periodic Distribution, the Issuer shall make good the shortfall with top-up payment amount
("Top-up Payment"). The Top-up Payment amount can be set-off against the Exercise Price
(as defined below) under the sale transaction pursuant to a Purchase Undertaking (as defined
below).

The Sukukholders shall receive the Exercise Price of the respective Sukuk Mudharabah upon
the Scheduled Dissolution Date or the Dissolution Declaration Date, whichever is applicable,
following the exercise of the Purchase Undertaking

Pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking, the Issuer shall purchase the Sukukholders' interest in
the MV at an indicative Exercise Price to be calculated based on an agreed formula between
the Issuer and the Sukukholders on the Scheduled Dissolution Date or the Dissolution
Declaration Date or any other events to be agreed between the parties. Upon purchase of the
final series of the Sukuk Mudharabah, the MV shall then be dissolved.

The payment of the Exercise Price is guaranteed by Danajamin Nasional Berhad and
Maybank Islamic Berhad ("Guarantors"). The Guarantee Facilities are intended to be a
separate arrangement from the Sukuk Mudharabah Facility wherein separate financing
agreements will be entered into between the Issuer and the Guarantors.

Purchase Undertaking

Under the Purchase Undertaking, the Issuer shall give an undertaking to the Trustee that the
Issuer shall purchase the Trust Assets at the Exercise Price upon the earliest of:

(a) maturity date of the respective outstanding Sukuk Mudharabah ("Scheduled


Dissolution Date"); or

(b) upon declaration of a dissolution event ("Dissolution Declaration Date").

Exercise Price

The Exercise Price shall be based on Mudharabah Capital plus Expected Profit less Periodic
Distributions made and received up to the Scheduled Dissolution Date or Dissolution
Declaration Date, as the case may be.

2
2. Important Shariah Highlight

The Shariah Adviser wishes to highlight the following:-

2.1 Utilisation of Proceeds

The proceeds raised from issuance of the Sukuk Mudharabah shall be utilised by the
Issuer to advance to its subsidiaries using Shariah-compliant facilities for the following
Shariah-compliant purposes:

(a) Up to RM560.0 million to part-finance the settlement sum to the eXisting lenders
of N.U.R. Generation Sdn Bhd (Receivers and Managers Appointed) and N.U.R.
Distribution Sdn Bhd (Receivers and Managers Appointed); and

(b) Up to RM90.0 million for the following:


(i) To reimburse any expenses related to the upgrade of the IPU identified
generation capacity from an open-cycle gas turbine to a combined-cycle gas
turbine.
(ii) To part-finance the upgrade of the IPU's identified generation capacity from
an open-cycle gas turbine to a combined-cycle gas turbine.
(iii) Any balance from item (i) and (ii) shall be to finance any capital expenditure
of the IPU's generation and distribution facilities to be identified.

2.2 Purchase Undertaking

Among the salient features of this structure is the establishment of a unilateral wa'ad
i.e. the Purchase Undertaking. Majority of Shariah scholars approve wa'ad instead of
Muwa'adah Mulzimah (binding bilateral undertaking) which may resemble the feature of
a sale contract. The Purchase Undertaking is issued by NUR Power who is also acting
as the Manager of the MV to purchase the Sukukholders' interest in the MV at an
Exercise Price on the Scheduled Dissolution Date or Dissolution Declaration Date to
gradually diminish the Sukukholders' interest in the MV.

The Exercise Price of the sale agreement pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking is
based on pre determined formula agreed by the Issuer and the Trustee for and on
behalf of the Sukukholders. From the Shariah point of view, the permissibility of such
pre determined formula of the Exercise Price as mentioned above would be based on
the following:

a) Pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking both parties i.e. NUR Power and the
Sukukholders have agreed to adopt a certain formula based on the concept of
mutual consent (a/- Taraadhl) which have taken into consideration the
performance of the MV (i.e. profit distribution). The agreed formula for the
Exercise Price is determined so as to avoid any future dispute or uncertainty in
the computation of the Exercise Price. The actual price will only be calculated and
agreed at the date of purchase of the Sukukholders' interest in the MV;
b) The SUkukholders are not devoid of all risks as the performance of the Sukuk
Mudharabah is still subject to the operation and performance of the MV and in
case of a dissolution event, to the credit standing of the Issuer; and
c) The current investment rating parameter adopted by most rating agencies
stresses on the assurance/guarantee of principal and profit from the investment
and this parameter applies to all types of Sukuk. Hence, the pre determined
formula of the Exercise Price under Purchase Undertaking for the Sukuk
Mudharabah is inevitable.

3
2.3 Tanazul

Tanazul means cessation of right to claim. The SAC resolved that the basic preference
share (non-cumulative) is permissible based on Tanazul. The SAC ruled that non-
cumulative preference shares are permissible based on Tanazul where the right to
profit of the ordinary shareholder is willingly given to a preference shareholder. In this
case, the Sukukholders may waive their right to receive profit entitlement above the
Expected Periodic Distribution based on the Tanazul concept. Below are some
justifications to support the practice of Tanazul:

1. The basis of permissibility of Tanazul has been elaborated by Shaykh Mustafa al


Zarqa' who mentioned that the Shariah scholars accept the applicability the
concept of huniyyat a/-ta'aqud wa a/-tasyarrut (freedom in entering contract and
determining conditions). AI Zarqa' elucidated that the Shariah scholars however
disputed on the limitations in applying this concept. Some of the Shariah
scholars including Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim endorsed the concept
hurriyyat a/-ta'aqud wa a/-tasyarrut so long as it does not violate muqtada al aqd
(objective of the contract) (Muhammad Yusuf Musa, al-Amwal wa Nazariyyat al-
'Aqd fi al-Fiqh al-lslami, pp. 376 - 399). Under the Sukuk Mudharabah, it is
apparent that application of Tanazul does not violate the Mudharabah's
objective/pillar Le., profit sharing as both partners will enjoy the return if the is
Mudharabah Venture profitable.

2. MOIFI Shariah Standard stated that:

"If one of the two parlies should stipulate for itself a specific amount (of profit),
the mudharabah will be void. This prohibition, however, is not inclusive of an
agreement by the two parlies that if the profits exceed a cerlain percentage then
one of those two parlies will receive the excess exclusively such that the
distribution will be according to what the two have agreed." (AAOIFI Standard
13, para 8.5).

3. The justification of Tanazul may also be found in what certain jurists have
mentioned in regard to the lawfulness of offering incentives in contracts of
waka/ah or in brokerage. AI-Imam al-Bukhari mentioned the same on the
authority of the Companion Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn Sirin:

"There is no impediment to one's saying, 'Sell this cloth and whatever is in


excess of this or that will be yours. '" Said Ibn Sirin: ''When someone says, 'Sel/ it
for this much and whatever profits are realized beyond that will be yours, or will
be shared between us: then there is no problem with that."

In this regard, Shaykh Taqi Uthmani clarified that the incentives also applicable
in case of being a wage-earning employee (ajir) or an investment agent (waki/),
thus resembling a broker, or on the basis of its being an investment manager
(mudharib), or a working partner (shank 'ami/) (Sukuk and their contemporary
applications, p. 6).

3. Shariah approval

After taking into consideration the nature of the Sukuk market in Malaysia and the legal
requirements under which the Sukuk Mudharabah Facility is being structured, we are of the
view that the attached structure and mechanism of the Sukuk Mudharabah Facility are in
compliance with the principles of Shariah and hereby approve the proposed Sukuk
Mudharabah Facility, subject to satisfactory documentation.

And Allah knows best.
