Agenda • Oleon NV • Oleon’s activities in Malaysia • Why Malaysia? June 4th 2014
III. Why Malaysia? • KEY Drivers to invest in Malaysia : • Access to raw materials • Lower investment costs (especially for land) • Centrally located in the region • Good export infrastructure • Good incentive package & support offered by MIDA which resulted in pioneer status (10 years) + R&D grant. • SSIC support when constructing plant to get permits/certificates & utilities Fast track approvals June 4th 2014
III. Why Malaysia? – Challenges • Slow-down in the China’s economy is putting pressure on inter-Asian trade which could impact Malaysia’s exports. • Loss of GST Status • Energy cost (natural gas and electricity) is increasing and moving towards the Asian level. • Energy cost in the US, due to larger availability of natural gas at low prices (around 4USD/mmBTU) is turning Asia uncompetitive for energy dependent activities. • Increments of salaries outpaces the rest of the world with a small base to find good talents and competition for talents can further erode bottom line (talent turn over & retention) • Congestion, typical to growing economy, actions are being undertaken. • The image of some of Malaysias largest natural resources is under pressure by the European public opinion (forestry and palm oil).

III. Some Tips South-East Asian mentality is fairly close to the Flemish: Pragmatic, a can-do mentality & a fair amount of business is done (after the working hours) through personal network Do not rely on local consultants : Opt for using your own Flemish/Belgian/European presence (that you can rely upon) For export oriented activities, be aware of fast increasing CPI which could turn business uncompetitive. Make your business plan realistic considering real prices and costs and not the ones consultants tend to provide. Do not consider South-East Asia as a low-cost region (with the exception of some labor intensive activities where a few countries are still attractive e.g. Cambodia, Myanmar, Indonesia, …), but not Singapore, Malaysia or even Thailand. For regional markets activities, consider your logistics and supply chain very well The region is huge with sometimes fairly poor infrastructure. June 4th 2014
