On behalf of ASB, CIMB Investment Bank Berhad wishes to announce that as at the close of acceptance/application and payment for the Rights Issue at 5.00 p.m. on 16 January 2008, the total acceptances and excess applications received for the Rights Issue was for RM228,728,963 nominal value of ICULS (or equivalent of 1,524,859,754 ICULS). This represents an over-subscription of 342,582,088 ICULS or 29.0% over the total number of 1,182,277,666 ICULS available for subscription under the Rights Issue.

Details of acceptances/applications and excess applications received as at the close of acceptance/application and payment for the Rights Issue at 5.00 p.m. on 16 January 2008 are set out in Table 1 below.

The Board of Directors of ASB ("Board") intends to allot the excess ICULS in the following order of priority:

(i) firstly, to minimise the incidence of odd lots; and

(ii) secondly, for allocation to applicants who apply for excess ICULS, on a pro-rata basis calculated based on their ICULS entitlements and/or the quantum of excess ICULS applied for, subject to the rounding and/or topping up of all odd lots to whole board lots at the discretion of the Board.

The Board reserves the right to allocate the excess applications for the Rights Issue as it deems fit, and will ensure such allocations will be done in a fair and equitable basis and in the best interest of the Company.

This announcement is dated 21 January 2008.
