10 August 2015

Resource Holding Management Limited

("RHM" or the "Company")

Update Regarding Suspension and PUCF Rights Issue

Further to the suspension from trading on AIM of the Company's shares on 4 August 2015, the Board of RHM (AIM:RHM) wishes to provide the following update.

PUCF Rights Issue

As noted in RHM's announcement of 4 August 2015, PUC Founder (MSC) Berhad ("PUCF") announced its intention on 4 August 2015 to raise up to RM 127.6 million (equivalent to approximately GBP 21.1 million*) through a renounceable rights issue to existing shareholders of PUCF (the "PUCF Rights Issue"), which is described in more detail further below.

RHM's wholly-owned subsidiary, RedHot Media International Limited ("RMIL"), currently holds 443,168,402 ordinary shares in PUCF, which represents 41.58% of PUCF's issued share capital, as well as 36,215,840 warrants to subscribe for new PUCF shares.

The proposed PUCF Rights Issue is expected to be effected by PUCF through the issuance of three year, 4% irredeemable convertible unsecured loan stock ("Rights ICULS") at 100% of the nominal value of RM0.05 each, on the basis of two RM0.05 nominal value of the Rights ICULS for every one existing PUCF share held by the entitled shareholders of PUCF on an entitlement date to be determined later, together with up to 318,974,750 free new detachable warrants ("Warrant(s) B") on the basis of one Warrant-B for every eight Rights ICULS subscribed. It is anticipated that the Rights ICULS and the Warrants-B will be traded on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The PUCF Rights Issue is subject to a minimum level of funds required to be raised by PUCF of RM 40 million (equivalent to approximately GBP 6.6 million*) (the "Minimum Fundraise").

Pursuant to the Minimum Fundraise, RMIL has provided PUCF with a binding irrevocable undertaking to subscribe for RM 40 million (equivalent to approximately GBP 6.6million) (the "Irrevocable Undertaking"). RMIL has reserved its right to subscribe, sell, trade, or renounce the remaining number of its Rights ICULS entitlement.

In the event that RMIL fails to fulfil its obligations under the Irrevocable Undertaking and the Minimum Fundraise is not achieved, then PUCF will not proceed with the implementation of the proposed PUCF Rights Issue.

The Proposed PUCF Rights Issue is subject to, inter alia, regulatory approvals in Malaysia, both from Bursa Securities and the Securities Commission, and approval by shareholders of PUCF. It is estimated by PUCF that the relevant applications to the regulatory authorities in Malaysia will be made within two months. The estimated timeframe for PUCF obtaining both regulatory and shareholder approval is by Q4 2015.

In 2015, PUCF has made announcements regarding business developments in the renewable energy industry. This included MaxGreen Energy Sdn. Bhd. ("MESB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PUCF, entering into a renewable energy power purchase agreement with Tenaga Nasional Berhad ("TNB"), under which MESB is to supply and deliver solar photovoltaic renewable energy to TNB for a Feed-in Tariff concession period of 21 years. PUCF anticipates that the construction of a 1 MW solar photovoltaic plant should commence in the third quarter of 2015 and is scheduled to be in operation by the fourth quarter of 2015.

Proposed Diversification of PUCF's Business

In PUCF's announcement of 4 August 2015 it was proposed that the existing business of PUCF and its subsidiaries would be diversified, to include the provision of energy utility services. The net funds raised under the PUCF Rights Issue are intended be used for the capital expenditure associated with the construction of solar photovoltaic plants and for working capital purposes.

PUCF's announcement of 4 August 2015 states, inter alia, that the management of PUCF believes that the renewable energy business will not only bring positive growth but at the same time offer long term recurrent income streams to the PUCF group during the concession periods.

PUCF's announcement of 4 August 2015 also states that, upon the completion of the proposed diversification, the PUCF group's existing business (as described above) would remain and continue as the core business of the PUCF group, while the provision of energy utility services is expected to become one of the PUCF group's future core businesses.

RHM's Irrevocable Undertaking, Reverse Takeover and Suspension of Trading

In order to finance the commitment given pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking, RMIL has agreed to a letter of offer for a conditional margin trading facility of RM 40 million with a Malaysian based financial institution (the "Facility"). The availability of the Facility to RMIL is conditional on, amongst other things, the completion of all required documentation and the deposit of the agreed collateral. Further details on the Facility will be announced by RHM at the appropriate time.

By reason of the size of the Irrevocable Undertaking in relation to RHM, the entering into of the Irrevocable Undertaking by RHM is classified as a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules for Companies. The AIM Rules for Companies require that completion of RHM's participation in the PUCF Rights Issue is, amongst other things, conditional upon and subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders, which will be sought at a general meeting of the Company, and on the publication of an AIM admission document, which will be posted to the Company's shareholders as soon as it is available.

Trading in RHM's shares will remain suspended from trading on AIM pending the publication of the AIM admission document and the notice of general meeting seeking shareholder approval, or an announcement is made that the PUCF Rights Issue is not proceeding.
