eDividend (Electronic Dividend) Service
Dear Shareholder,
RE: eDividend (Electronic Dividend) Service
We are pleased to inform that Willowglen
MSC Berhad ("the Company”) will be providing eDividend to shareholders to be
implemented in the third quarter of 2010.
The eDividend refers to the payment of cash dividends by a listed issuer
directly into the shareholders’ bank accounts. One of the main objectives of
implementing eDividend is to promote greater efficiency of the payment system
which is aligned to the national agenda of migrating to electronic payment.
1. Benefits of eDividends
1.1
eDividend extends to all companies listed
on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("listed issuers”) and provides, amongst
others, faster access to your cash dividends, eliminates the inconvenience of
having to deposit the dividend cheques and problems such as misplaced, lost or
expired cheques, and unauthorised deposit of dividend cheques.
1.2 For those shareholders who have previously
opted for direct crediting of dividend entitlement via GIRO Service with the
Company, you will still need to register for eDividend to enjoy the following
additional benefits:-
(a)
the convenience of one-off registration for
entitlement to eDividend from all listed issuers; and
(b)
the option to consolidate the dividends
from all your Central Depository System ("CDS”) accounts into one bank account
for better management.
2. Registration for eDividend
2.1
Registration for eDividend will commence on
19 April 2010 for a period of 1 year

eDividend, you are required to provide to Bursa Malaysia Depository Sdn Bhd

the eDividend.
2.3 If you are not to be present at your stock
broker’s office to submit the prescribed form and supporting documents, please
