MobilityOne Limited
("MobilityOne", the "Company" or the "Group")
Entry into tenancy agreement and ordinary course commercial transactions
MobilityOne (AIM: MBO), the e-commerce infrastructure payment solutions and platform provider, announces that, MobilityOne Sdn Bhd ("M1 Malaysia"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group incorporated in Malaysia, has entered into a tenancy agreement with LMS Digital Sdn Bhd ("LMS") to occupy approximately 4,500 square feet of office space at Wisma LMS, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (the "Wisma LMS Office") (together the "Tenancy Agreement").
The current office owned by M1 Malaysia, at Megan Avenue II in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has a total floor size of 2,800 square feet and is, accordingly, insufficient for catering the growing staff needs of M1 Malaysia and its subsidiaries (together the "M1 Group"). The Wisma LMS Office, located in the Off Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz district in Kuala Lumpur, is approximately 4,500 square feet in size and therefore offers the necessary staff space for the M1 Group. Currently, the M1 Group is occupying the Wisma LMS Office rent-free ("Rent Free Period") and has simultaneously been renting out the Megan Avenue II office for RM2.50 per square feet, which is also the square feet rate that is payable in relation to the Wisma LMS Office.
Pursuant to the terms of the Tenancy Agreement, M1 Malaysia will pay a monthly rental fee of RM11,250 to LMS on the first day of each succeeding month which is payable on or before the seventh day of the month. M1 Malaysia will not be required to pay any rental deposit, utility deposit or any historic consideration in relation to the Rent Free Period as part of the Tenancy Agreement. The Tenancy Agreement will commence on 1 March 2022 and will be for a minimum period of one year and will automatically renew on a yearly basis unless either party gives three months' notice to the other party to terminate.
The Group does not anticipate any revenue or earnings contribution from the Tenancy Agreement to the Group.
Ordinary course commercial transactions
The Company is pleased to further announce that M1 Malaysia and TFP Solutions Berhad ("TFP") have agreed the terms that will form the basis of several ordinary course commercial transactions (otherwise known as "Business Transactions"), details of which are outlined below. MBP Solutions Sdn Bhd ("MBP"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TFP (listed on the ACE Market of the Malaysia Stock Exchange), is an agent and reseller for the products and services of M1 Malaysia. This includes since December 2018 acting as agent and reseller of mobile phone prepaid airtime reload, bill payment and any other products and services to be provided by M1 Malaysia. The current business activities of TFP and its subsidiaries (together the "TFP Group") include providing network security, IT solutions, SAP products, human resource management solutions, mobile telecommunications services and a mobile fintech platform.
The Business Transactions are revenue in nature and are not expected to generate material profit for the Group.

The Business Transactions (other than SAP Business One) will allow the M1 Group to earn additional income from TFP Group and its business network.
