Reference is made to the announcements dated 23 February 2017, 10 April 2017 and 19 April 2017 in relation to the 14th DRP.

On 23 February 2017, the Board of Directors of Malayan Banking Berhad (“Maybank”) (“Board”) announced its consolidated results for the financial period ended 31 December 2016, wherein the Board proposed a final single-tier cash dividend in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2016 of RM0.32 per ordinary share of Maybank (“Maybank Share”) (“Final Cash Dividend”). The Board had also determined that the dividend reinvestment plan will apply to the Final Cash Dividend, in which an electable portion of RM0.22 per Maybank Share held can be elected to be reinvested into new Maybank Shares and the remaining portion of RM0.10 per Maybank Share held will be paid in cash. The Final Cash Dividend was approved by shareholders of Maybank at the annual general meeting of Maybank held on 6 April 2017.

On behalf of the Board, Maybank Investment Bank Berhad (“Maybank IB”) wishes to announce that the issue price of the new Maybank Shares to be issued pursuant to the 14th DRP applicable to the Final Cash Dividend has been fixed today (“Price-Fixing Date”) at RM8.25 per new Maybank Share. The issue price is based on the five (5)-day volume weighted average market price (“VWAMP”) of RM9.01 per Maybank Share up to and including 19 April 2017, being the last trading day prior to the Price-Fixing Date for the issue price of new Maybank Shares after adjusting for the following:

(i) a dividend adjustment of RM0.32 to the five (5)-day VWAMP (“Ex-Dividend VWAMP”); and                                                                                                       

(ii) a discount of RM0.44 which is approximately 5.06% discount to the Ex-Dividend VWAMP of RM8.69.

On behalf of the Board, Maybank IB also wishes to announce on even date that the book closure date pursuant to the Final Cash Dividend and the 14th DRP has been fixed on 8 May 2017.
