1.         INTRODUCTION DIALOG Group Berhad (“DIALOG”) is pleased to announce that DIALOG via its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Dialog Malic Acid Sdn. Bhd., will build, own and operate a specialty chemical plant producing malic acid in Gebeng, Kuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur, Malaysia (“Project”). The Plant will be situated within the Integrated Chemical Site operated by BASF PETRONAS Chemicals Sdn. Bhd. This represents DIALOG’s first foray into production of specialty chemicals and act as a catalyst for DIALOG to expand its footprint in this sector by producing high value specialty chemical products. Rationale and Prospects Malic acid is a specialty chemical that is mainly used as a food additive in the food and beverage (“F&B”) industry, which has steady market demand growing along with the gross domestic product. DIALOG’s proposed development of its malic acid plant in Malaysia will not only support the growing demand in the Southeast Asia region but also tap into business opportunities created by the increasing demand for malic acid worldwide. This malic acid plant in Kuantan will supply the required malic acid to major customers and distributors in Malaysia and overseas. The feedstock for the production of the malic acid will be supplied by local suppliers. DIALOG will undertake internally the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (“EPCC”) of the malic acid plant with a production capacity of approximately 12,000 metric tonnes per annum and an investment value of approximately USD80 million. The Project to build, own and operate a specialty chemicals plant producing malic acid will further expand our downstream business, which is in addition to our existing venture to produce food grade recycled PET pellets, currently undergoing commissioning. Both projects represent substantial investments to strengthen DIALOG’s downstream and sustainable sector generating additional long term recurring income to the Group.    DIALOG will remain focused and steadfast in the pursuit of diversification across the upstream, midstream and downstream energy sector as well as the sustainable and renewable sector to strategically position the Group to weather different economic cycles. The Project will also spur socio-economic development of the East Coast Economic Region ("ECER") by creating job opportunities for locals during the construction and operations stage. 2.           DETAILS OF THE PROJECT 2.1        SCOPE OF WORK DIALOG will undertake the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of the malic acid plant with a production capacity of approximately 12,000 metric tonnes per annum and an investment value of approximately USD80 million. 2.2        THE PROJECT PERIOD The EPCC of the Project will commence immediately and is expected to be completed in Q2 2026. 2.3        INFORMATION ON DIALOG MALIC ACID SDN. BHD. Dialog Malic Acid Sdn. Bhd.  was registered on 28 August 2023 with an initial paid-up share capital of RM1,000 and is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of DIALOG. 2.4        SOURCES OF FUNDING DIALOG will fund its portion of investment and working capital of the Project from internally generated funds and/or bank borrowings including proceeds from sukuk issuance. 3.         FINANCIAL EFFECTS The Project is not expected to have any effects on the share capital and substantial shareholders’ shareholding of DIALOG and is not expected to have any material effects on the earnings, net assets and gearing of DIALOG for the current financial year ending 30 June 2024.

Description	EXPANSION OF RENEWABLE PRODUCTS STORAGE AT DIALOG TERMINALS LANGSAT (3) SDN. BHD.
1.         INTRODUCTION Dialog Group Berhad (“DIALOG”) is pleased to announce that DIALOG’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Dialog Terminals Langsat (3) Sdn. Bhd. (“DTL3”) will be expanding its storage facilities for an additional 150,000 m3 storage for renewable and petroleum products at its terminal in Tanjung Langsat, Johor Darul Ta’zim, Malaysia (“the Expansion”). The first 100,000 m3 is dedicated to EcoCeres Limited, a subsidiary of EcoCeres Inc. (“EcoCeres”) and the remaining 50,000 m3 is expected to be leased to third party customers such as multinational companies and trading houses. The Expansion is expected to be completed in Q1 FY2027. DTL3 secured a take-or-pay storage agreement with EcoCeres Limited for the dedicated 100,000 m3 of storage which serves as a catalyst for the expansion of DTL3 terminal. The said agreement follows EcoCeres’ announcement of a significant investment in a new production facility in Pasir Gudang, Johor Darul Ta'zim, Malaysia. The new biorefinery is expected to be operational in the second half of 2025 and is strategically located less than 1km from DTL3 with direct connection to DTL3’s storage tanks via rundown pipelines. The biorefinery will produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”) and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils (“HVO”), which will be stored in DTL3’s dedicated (to EcoCeres) tanks. The facility has an annual capacity of up to 350,000 tonnes. DTL3 storage optimises biorefinery’s investment in storage infrastructure while logistical integration of rundown pipelines enhances operational efficiency. EcoCeres is a pure-play renewable fuel producer, with over a decade of experience in biomass utilization, backed by international investors Bain Capital and Kerogen Capital, Founded with a mission to address the challenges of climate change, EcoCeres has earned a reputation as a global innovator in the conversion of waste-based biomass into biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. As an International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (“ISCC”)-certified decarbonization solution provider, the company stably produces industrial scale SAF and HVO through its proprietary processes. Rationale and Prospects This development is in response to growing investor interest in low-carbon fuel alternatives and DIALOG is expanding its terminal operations to cater for such sustainable and renewable fuel products, in addition to existing storage of petroleum and petrochemical products. Bulk fuel storage terminals have an opportunity to become principal facilitators of the energy transition by helping to develop new low-carbon lines of products and services. Terminals could also play a pivotal role in the transport and logistics of newer, emerging product lines like biodiesel, sustainable aviation fuel and their associated feedstock. In essence, this gives terminals a new lease on life and new value in the energy transition, while retaining their traditional role as the gateway to energy trading. Potential users include biofuel production companies, energy trading houses, multinational energy companies and others. The development of storage facilities for sustainable and renewable products is in line with low-carbon economy transition under DIALOG’s Climate Change Strategy as part of ongoing efforts to expand product and solution offering to support the growth and development in the sustainable and renewable sector. This development is also a continuation of the initiatives by the Group to achieve business sustainability and fulfill its Environmental, Social and Governance agenda through commercially viable ventures.   In addition, the strengthening of the midstream capabilities will lead to an increase in DIALOG’s sources of sustainable and recurring income in the future and reinforces DIALOG’s position as a leading integrated technical services provider. DIALOG will remain focused and steadfast in the pursuit of diversification across the upstream, midstream and downstream energy sector as well as the sustainable and renewable sector to strategically position the Group to weather different economic and oil price cycles, which is in line with the Group’s strategy of generating long term recurring income. 2.            DETAILS OF THE EXPANSION 2.1 SCOPE OF WORK DIALOG will undertake the engineering, procurement and construction of the storage facilities for sustainable and renewable fuel products with a storage capacity of 150,000 m3 connected to existing marine facilities. 2.2 THE EXPANSION PERIOD The engineering and construction of the Expansion will commence immediately and is expected to be completed in Q1 FY2027. 2.3 INFORMATION ON DTL3 Dialog Terminals Langsat 3 (“DTL3”) is an operating terminal with storage capacity of approximately 230,000 m3 (inclusive of the 24,000 m3 under construction) serving short to medium term energy traders and multinational companies storing energy products.  It is located adjacent to two other terminals i.e. DIALOG Terminals Langsat 1 and DIALOG Terminals Langsat 2.  With the Expansion, the combined storage capacity of DTL1, DTL2 and DTL3 will surpass 1 million m3. 2.4 INFORMATION ON ECOCERES EcoCeres Limited is a subsidiary of EcoCeres Inc. (“EcoCeres”). EcoCeres is a pure-play renewable fuel producer, with over a decade of experience in biomass utilization, backed by international investors Bain Capital and Kerogen Capital. Founded with a mission to address the challenges of climate change, EcoCeres has earned a reputation as a global innovator in the conversion of waste-based biomass into biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. As an International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (“ISCC”)-certified decarbonization solution provider, the company stably produces industrial scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”) and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils (“HVO”) through its proprietary processes. 3.         FINANCIAL EFFECTS The Expansion is not expected to have any effects on the share capital and substantial shareholders’ shareholding of DIALOG and is not expected to have any material effects on the earnings, net assets and gearing of DIALOG for the current financial year ending 30 June 2025. However, it is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of DIALOG group. 4.         RISKS Risk factors affecting the Expansion include but are not limited to execution risks, such as availability of skilled manpower, technical expertise and materials, changes in prices of materials, and changes in political, economic and regulatory conditions. Nevertheless, DIALOG will undertake all the necessary efforts to mitigate the various risk factors identified. 5.         INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS’ AND PERSONS CONNECTED WITH THEM In so far as the directors of DIALOG are able to ascertain, none of the directors of DIALOG, major shareholders of DIALOG and/or persons connected with them have any interest, whether direct or indirect, in the Expansion.

Dialog Group Berhad (“DIALOG”) wishes to announce that on 27 August 2024, its indirect subsidiary, Dialog (Labuan) Ltd (“DLL”) has entered into an agreement to dispose of its entire 60% equity stake in Dialog Jubail Supply Base Company Limited (“DJSB”) to Sedres Trading & Maritime Services Co Ltd (“Sedres”), for a total cash receipt of SAR47.5 million (approximately RM55.0 million) comprising of sale consideration of SAR3.0 million (approximately RM3.5 million) (“Sale Consideration”) and dividends of SAR44.5 million (approximately RM51.5 million) to be received prior to completion (“Shares Sale”). DJSB is principally involved in the provision of logistic services of a supply base and trading of base oil in Saudi Arabia. DLL and Sedres are currently shareholders in DJSB holding equity stakes of 60% and 40%, respectively. DLL is a company incorporated in Labuan, Malaysia and, DJSB and Sedres are companies incorporated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The business landscape is evolving in Jubail Port area wherein most of the heavy lifting work that DJSB provides is expected to decrease gradually and favouring normal logistics services only. With that and with Sedres’ interest to take over DJSB as a locally owned company in Saudi Arabia, it is an opportune time for DIALOG to divest its stake in DJSB. The disposal involves the sale of 1,200 ordinary shares or DLL’s entire 60% equity interest in DJSB. The Sale Consideration was based on a willing-buyer willing-seller basis, after taking into account DJSB’s unaudited adjusted net assets as at 30 June 2024 of SAR77.6 million. DLL’s original cost of investment in DJSB was SAR1.2 million (approximately RM1.4 million) which was made in 2011 and the Shares Sale resulted in a gain to DIALOG of SAR0.9 million (approximately RM1.0 million). The sale proceeds will be used for working capital purposes. DJSB will cease to be a subsidiary of DIALOG upon receiving total cash receipt and with effect from the date of the registration of the change of shareholders of DJSB with the relevant authorities in Saudi Arabia, expected to be within next 9 months. The Shares Sale has no effect on the share capital and substantial shareholders’ shareholdings of DIALOG and has no material impact on the earnings, net assets and gearing of DIALOG. The Shares Sale does not require approvals from the relevant authorities and the shareholders of DIALOG. None of the directors of DIALOG, major shareholders of DIALOG and/or persons connected with them have any interest, whether direct or indirect, in the Shares Sale. This announcement is dated 27 August 2024.
