NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

4. Re-election/Election of Directors

Pursuant to Rule 131.1 of the Company's Constitution, at least one-third (1/3) of Directors should retire by rotation or if that number is not a multiple of three (3), then the number nearest to one-third (1/3) should retire. Further, any Director of the Company appointed by the Board pursuant to Rule 116 shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation. Presently, we have nine (9) Directors on the Board.

Accordingly, Mr Uthaya Kumar a/l K Vivekananda ("Mr Kumar") and Ms Alexandra Elisabeth Johanna Maria Schaapveld, who are both Independent Non-Executive Directors ("INEDs") are due for retirement by rotation at the 27th AGM. Mr Uthaya Kumar a/l K Vivekananda being eligible, has offered himself for re-election as Director of the Company. However, Ms Alexandra Elisabeth Johanna Maria Schaapveld, will not be seeking re-election and accordingly will retire at the conclusion of this 27th AGM.

Mr Rohan a/l Rajan Rajasooria ("Mr Rohan") who was appointed as a Non-IndependentNon-Executive Director ("NINED") on 23 November 2022 and Raja Tan Sri Dato' Seri Arshad bin Raja Tun Uda ("Raja Tan Sri Arshad") who was appointed as an INED of the Company on 20 April 2023, are required to submit themselves for re-election at the 27th AGM pursuant to Rule 116 of the Company's Constitution. On being eligible, they have offered themselves for re-election. Their appointments were based on the Nomination & Corporate Governance Committee's ("NC") recommendation after considering relevant criteria in respect of their appointments including their experiences, qualifications, potential contributions and time commitment. The Board is also satisfied that their appointments will further strengthen the composition of the Board.

Mr Kumar, Mr Rohan and Raja Tan Sri Arshad who have offered themselves for re-election have consented to the same.

Mr Kumar, Mr Rohan and Raja Tan Sri Arshad have abstained from deliberations and decision on their own eligibility and suitability to stand for re-election at the relevant NC and Board meetings.

For details of the Directors who are standing for re-election under proposed Ordinary Resolutions 3, 4 and 5, please refer to the Directors' Profiles on page 55 to 57 of the Annual Report 2022.

5. Authority to issue and allot new ordinary shares pursuant to Sections 75 and 76 of the CA 2016 and the MMLR

Proposed Resolution 6 is to seek a renewal of the general authority pursuant to Sections 75 and 76 of the CA 2016 and the MMLR for the issue and allotment of new ordinary shares in the Company ("Bumi Armada Shares").

The proposed Resolution 6, if passed, will give a new mandate to the Directors of the Company, from the date of the 27th AGM, to issue and allot Bumi Armada Shares from time to time subject to the total number of Bumi Armada Shares to be issued pursuant to such mandate not exceeding in the aggregate ten per centum (10%) of the total number of issued Bumi Armada Shares (excluding treasury shares). This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company.

Should there be a decision to issue and allot Bumi Armada Shares after the said authority has been given, the Company will make the appropriate announcement on the purpose and/or utilisation of proceeds arising from such issuance and allotment.

The passing of this resolution would avoid any delay and cost involved in convening a general meeting to specifically approve the issuance of Bumi Armada Shares.
