an outstanding loan with an RM 500,000 with Fair Bank and the Title Deed is encumbered to
Fair Bank. Exports Bank required to pay Fair Bank an amount of RM 500,000 in order to
discharge of charge and the title deed of the land. If the title deed is found to have encumbrances,
letter of undertaking need to be obtain by Exports Bank from FTSB to get repayment of the loan.

restrictions that has been fixed by the M&A. Moreover, bank should make certain that FTSB has
file at Companies Commission, an asset with a high value is essential, and ensure the director
have executed all documents and if the resolution of board of director entitle the company to
create debenture, then all document attached an endorsed. Within 30 days of the creation of
charge in statutory Form 34, the debenture must be register, in order to make sure the debenture
is valid. The assets of FTSB should also be register.
In addition, FTSB cannot deal with the building without obtaining the consent from
Exports Bank, if fixed charge is created on the industrial building. Meanwhile, if the floating
charge is created, FTSB can deal with the building without the consent from Exports Bank.
However, Exports Bank are allow to review the assets frequently, in case the asset is fall to third
parties or being disposed by FTSB. If FTSB commence a winding up or bankrupt, the floating
charge will “crystallise” upon certain even occur such as FTSB default in payment or stop their
business.
Lastly, the securities is guarantees. According to the cases, the contract of guarantee are
include such as the existing directors of FTSB which are Madam Soo Li Fern, Mr. Kenneth
Wong, Mr. Clement Tan and Encik Abang Joe. The joint and several guarantees are provided by
the existing director. Principal creditor is the Exports Bank and FTSB will be principal debtor.
All guarantors are jointly bound as one guarantee and also severally as separate guarantors and
also every guarantors need to sign one document, in order for the guarantee to be sustainable.
Plus, each of the guarantors will be equally liable for the debt after they sign the joint and several
guarantees. Exports Bank have the right to sue all the guarantor if the bank does not satisfied
with the debt. Hence, the estate of the particular guarantor will still be liable for advances made
prior to each of the events when the director is bankrupt or deceased.
