4.2

Details Of The Proposed MGO Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, DRB-HICOMs shareholding in Proton will increase from nil to approximately 42.74%. Accordingly, in accordance with Section 218(2) of the CMSA and Section 9(1), Part III of the Code, after the Proposed Acquisition, DRB-HICOM will be obliged to extend a MGO for all the Remaining Proton Shares for a cash consideration of RM5.50 per Proton Share, which is the same as the price per Proton Share under the Proposed Acquisition. The Proposed MGO will be conditional upon DRB-HICOM having received acceptances which would result in DRB-HICOM holding in aggregate more than 50% of the voting shares of Proton (Acceptance Condition).

The Proton Shares to be acquired pursuant to acceptances under the Proposed MGO shall be transferred free from all moratoriums, claims, charges, liens, pledges, options, rights of pre-emption, third party rights and other security interests and/or encumbrances and/or equities whatsoever from the date of valid acceptance and with all the rights, benefits and entitlements attached thereto from the date of the document, outlining the terms and conditions of the Proposed MGO including the right to all dividends and/or distributions declared, made or paid on or after the date of the Notice, subject to adjustment to the consideration under the Proposed MGO in the event Proton declares, makes or pays any dividend and/or other distributions on or after the date of the Notice but prior to the close of the Proposed MGO and the holder of the Remaining Proton Shares is entitled to retain such dividend and/or distributions where the consideration for each Remaining Proton Share shall be reduced by the quantum of the net dividend and/or distribution per Proton Share which such holder is entitled to. 4.3 Liabilities To Be Assumed There are no liabilities, including contingent liabilities and guarantees, to be assumed by DRB-HICOM pursuant to the Proposals.

5. 5.1

RATIONALE AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSALS Proposed Acquisition DRB-HICOM Group is one of the major players in the automotive industry in Malaysia, being involved in the whole integrated chain of the automotive ecosystem such as manufacturing and supply of automotive components, assembly, distribution and sales of motorcycles and commercial vehicles as well as the distribution and sales of passenger cars. Armed with the wealth of knowledge and extensive network of partnership, collaborations and joint ventures over the years, DRB-HICOM is in a position to appreciate the automotive industry in the local and global context, hence assists it to understand the impetus required by Proton to move forward. This in particular will strengthen Protons operations in terms of localisation and vendor development, manufacturing system and distribution network and more importantly, its presence in the regional market as an ASEAN car. DRB-HICOMs functional and technical know-how coupled with its existing multi-brand experiences with the global partners will further enhance Protons system and procedures. The Proposed Acquisition is expected to create business synergies and opportunities for DRB-HICOM Group and Proton to augment the localisation and local vendor programmes. DRB-HICOM will maintain its intention and interest to safeguard the national car company while at the same time encourage, facilitate, grow and enhance Malaysias national automotive industry, hence making Malaysia a preferred automotive hub capable of rivalling its neighbours.

5.2

Proposed MGO Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, DRB-HICOMs shareholding in Proton will increase to more than 33%. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 9(1), Part III of the Code, DRBHICOM will be obliged to undertake a MGO for all the Remaining Proton Shares. The Proposed MGO provides an opportunity for DRB-HICOM to further increase its shareholding in Proton after the Proposed Acquisition, thereby resulting in Proton becoming a subsidiary of DRB-HICOM in the event that the Proposed MGO is successful.

6. 6.1

EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSALS Share capital and substantial shareholders shareholdings The Proposals will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital of DRBHICOM and substantial shareholders shareholdings in DRB-HICOM as the purchase consideration for the Proposed Acquisition and the consideration for the Proposed MGO will be satisfied entirely in cash.

6.2

NA, NA per share and gearing For illustrative purposes only, based on the audited consolidated Statements of Financial Position of DRB-HICOM as at 31 March 2011 and on the assumption that the Proposals had been effected on that date, the proforma effects of the Proposals on the NA, NA per share and gearing of DRB-HICOM Group are set out in Table 2 of the Appendix of this Announcement. The effects of the Proposals on the NA, NA per share and gearing are subject to review and confirmation by the Reporting Accountants.

6.3

Earnings and earnings per share (EPS) The Proposals are not expected to have any effect on the earnings and EPS of DRB-HICOM Group for the financial year ending 31 March 2012 since the Proposals are only expected to nd be completed in the second (2 ) quarter of 2012. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Proposals are expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of DRB-HICOM Group since Proton Group is already income-generating.

7.

PROSPECTS OF PROTON GROUP Proton is committed to the development of its green technology in line with the Governments initiative to make Malaysia a regional hub for hybrid, electric and environment-friendly vehicles. Hence, Protons decision to be involved in the hybrid and electric vehicle powertrains is strategic in nature as it will enable Proton to compete with global Original Equipment Manufacturers who have already launched their hybrid cars in the market. To achieve this objective, Proton has in the second (2nd) half of 2011 done a fleet test vehicle program in collaboration with the Government for its Digital Range Extender Electric Vehicle, which is slated to be unveiled within the next three (3) years. Furthermore, based on the EcoMobility Advanced Solution project, Proton has embarked on the Global Small Car programme, which is progressing according to schedule and barring any unforeseen circumstances, aims to deliver a new family of world-class and eco-friendly vehicles by the year 2013.

On the operational front, Proton has improved its operational sustainability practices with the completion of Protons centralised Centre for Logistics Allocation Storage and Services in Selangor and Tanjung Malim in March 2010 and November 2010 respectively. This has managed to reduce Protons warranty costs and improved quality at delivery point. Secondly, the Process and Operational Excellence (PROPEX) project which is already one and a half years in its journey, includes a Vehicle Cost Reduction Programme, which involves a team of fully trained engineers responsible for generating and analysing cost saving strategies to achieve PROPEXs goals of increasing Protons profit margin without sacrificing customer satisfaction. Proton has also embarked on a two (2) tiered approach to improve the quality of its cars by focusing on in-house improvement and working with its vendor base. Its in-house initiatives such as the Zero Defect Campaign have led to vast improvements in supply quality performance and outgoing quality of vehicles from its Shah Alam and Tanjung Malim plants. Proton also hopes that through its Vendor Development Programme, Proton can help its vendors to continuously improve supply network, product quality, cost competitiveness, delivery performance, engineering capability, financial stability, management competencies and innovation.

RISK FACTORS The Board does not foresee any material inherent risks relating to the automotive industry arising from the Proposals given that both DRB-HICOM Group and Proton Group are currently operating in the automotive industry. However, there may be additional risks arising from the Proposals as set out below which are non-exhaustive. Whilst the Company seeks to limit the impact of such risks, there can be no assurance that these factors will not have a material adverse effect on the business and operations of DRB-HICOM Group and/or Proton Group: (i) Business risk associated with R&D Proton Groups performance and ability to compete with its competitors will depend on its ability to improve and enhance the functions and reliability of its products and services through continuous R&D. R&D allows Proton Group to adapt to new industry standards and address changing customer preferences. Any inability to keep up with critical changes in technology advancement may materially affect Proton Groups businesses, results of operations and financial condition. The success of R&D also depends on technological innovations in design, engineering and manufacturing, all of which requires extensive capital investment. Such capital investment can be funded by way of cash flow from operations and/or via additional debt financing. There can be no assurance that Proton and/or DRBHICOM will be able to secure additional financing for purposes of R&D and it is uncertain whether such financing can be secured on commercially favourable terms. If adequate financing is not available, any scaling back in R&D could affect Protons ability to produce models that can compete effectively with the models produced by its competitors which may eventually lead to a decline in Protons market share.

(ii)

Turnaround risk with Transformation Plan (as defined herein) In 2010, Proton had budgeted for capital resources for purposes of a five (5) year business transformation plan for Lotus Group International Limited (Lotus) and its group of companies. The Transformation Plan includes, amongst others, the rationalisation of Lotuss dealer network, rebranding activities and development of new models including the Lotus Esprit which is slated to be commercialised by end of 2013 (Transformation Plan). There can be no assurance that the Transformation Plan will be successfully executed and it is uncertain whether anticipated benefits to be derived from the Transformation Plan will be realised or that Lotus and/or Proton will be able to generate sufficient returns to repay the financing facilities drawndown for the Transformation Plan. It may reduce Proton Groups available funds for other purposes such as product development and working capital for its domestic business. Should the Transformation Plan require additional financing, there can be no assurance that such financing can be secured on commercially favourable terms. Further, the Transformation Plan may require significant attention from Protons management which may constraint Protons managerial resources towards the other businesses of Proton Group.

(iii)

Political, economic and regulatory environment Proton Groups operations and profitability may be affected by new developments in the political, economic and regulatory environment in Malaysia. Such uncertainties include but are not limited to changes in political leadership, slowdown in the Malaysian economy, new policies and regulations which may reduce restrictions on imports, changes in interest rates and the Governments budget and spending policies. In March 2006, the Government announced the National Automotive Policy (NAP) which was envisioned to facilitate the required transformation and optimal integration of the national automotive industry into regional and global industry networks within the increasingly liberalised and competitive global environment. Protons status as the national car manufacturer, allows it to have access to benefits such as the Industrial Adjustment Fund (a fund which was established by the Government to provide incentives in various forms) and R&D grants under the NAP for its manufacturing and R&D activities. As it is the MITIs priority to promote free and prosperous international trade, under the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), Malaysia is committed to gradually remove or reduce its import duty. As such, the automotive industry will meet the national commitment to the various FTAs. Any change to the political, economic and regulatory environment may materially affect Proton Groups businesses, results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.

(iv)

Non-completion of the Proposed Acquisition The completion of the Proposed Acquisition is subject to conditions which are beyond the Companys control such as the approval of DRB-HICOMs shareholders for the Proposals. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Proposed Acquisition will be completed as contemplated. In the event any of the Conditions Precedent is not fulfilled by the stipulated period and/or in the event an extension of time is not agreed upon between DRB-HICOM and the Vendor, the SSPA will be terminated.

(v)

Non-fulfilment of the Acceptance Condition Pursuant to Section 17(2), Part VI of the Code, the Proposed MGO will be conditional upon DRB-HICOM having received acceptances which would result in the Company holding in aggregate more than 50% of the voting shares of Proton. In the event DRB-HICOM is unable to fulfil the Acceptance Condition on or before the closing date of the Proposed MGO (Closing Date), the Proposed MGO shall lapse and all acceptances received pursuant to the Proposed MGO shall be returned immediately by DRB-HICOM. Assuming that the Company does not acquire any Proton Shares from the open market, DRB-HICOM will only hold approximately 42.74% equity interest in Proton pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition and the financial results of Proton Group will not be consolidated as Proton would not be a subsidiary of DRB-Hicom.

9.

APPROVALS REQUIRED The Proposals are subject to the following being obtained and/or performed:(a) approval of the shareholders of DRB-HICOM at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened for and in respect of the SSPA and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and the approval of or notification to the MITI (as the case may be) on the change of shareholder of Proton.

(b)

The Proposed MGO will also be conditional upon the approval of the Securities Commission in respect of compliance with the equity requirement for public companies.

10.

HIGHEST PERCENTAGE RATIO The highest percentage ratio applicable to the Proposals pursuant to Paragraph 10.02(g) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities is the value of assets to be acquired compared with the NA of DRB-HICOM Group based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the FYE 31 March 2011 which amounts to approximately 108.56%.

11.

INTER-CONDITIONALITY OF THE PROPOSALS The Proposed MGO is conditional upon the Proposed Acquisition but not vice-versa.

12.

INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS AND PERSONS CONNECTED WITH THEM None of the Directors, major shareholders and/or persons connected with them has any interest, direct or indirect, in the Proposals.

13.

14.

ADVISER Maybank IB has been appointed as the Principal Adviser to DRB-HICOM for the Proposals.
