HeiTech Padu Berhad (“HeiTech” or “the Company”) wishes to announce that the Company has on 22 September 2025 received a notice in writing dated 22 September 2025 given pursuant to Section 281 of the Companies Act, 2016 ("CA 2016") from Messrs. Al Jafree Salihin Kuzaimi PLT (AF1522) ("Salihin") on their resignation as External Auditors of the Company. Pursuant to Section 281(2) of the CA 2016, Salihin's terms of office will end after 21 days from 22 September 2025.

Salihin were re-appointed as the External Auditors of the Company at the last annual general meeting ("AGM") of the Company held on 25 June 2025 to hold office until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company. Their resignation was due to the recent penalization of Salihin by the Audit Oversight Board ("AOB"). Therefore, Salihin had decided to review its strategy and reduce the number of Public Interest Entity (PIE) audit clients to focus on improving quality management, internal controls, and professional development. Salihin's resignation is not due to any dispute or issue in relation to the audit of HeiTech.

Save for the above, the Board is not aware of any matters that need to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company.

Further announcement on the engagement of a new Auditors will be made by the Company in due course once the appointment of the new Auditors is finalized by the Board.

This announcement is dated 22 September 2025.
