An Executive Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”) was established on 23 November 2005 for the benefit of the executives and full time Executive Directors of the Group.

The salient features of the ESOS are as follows:

a) Maximum number of shares available under the ESOS

The total number of new ordinary shares in the Company (“IOI Shares”), which may be made available under the ESOS shall not exceed 10% of the total issued and paid-up ordinary share capital of the Company at the time an offer of options is made in writing by a committee appointed by the Board to administer the ESOS (“Option Committee”).

b) Eligibility

Save for executives who are employed by the foreign subsidiaries of the Company (including the Malaysian subsidiaries of such foreign subsidiaries), and executives who are employed by subsidiaries of the Company, of which the Company holds less than 75% of the issued and paid-up share capital, any executive (including Executive Director) of the Group shall be eligible to participate in the ESOS if, as at the date of the Offer (“Offer Date”), the executive:

i. has attained the age of 18 years;

ii. is in the full time employment and payroll of a company within the Group (other than a company which is dormant) for at least 3 years; and

(The eligible employees above are hereinafter referred to as “Eligible Executive(s)”)

No executive of the Group shall participate at any time in more than one ESOS implemented by any company within the Group. The executive to whom the option has been granted has also no right to participate, by virtue of the option, in any ordinary share issue of any other company.
