Press Releases MARC MAINTAINS INGRESS SUKUK BERHAD’S RATING ON MARCWATCH DEVELOPING

Tuesday, Oct 30, 2007

Ingress Sukuk Berhad’s (Ingress) A+IS rating on its RM160.0 million Sukuk Al Ijara Issuance Programme remains on MARCWatch Developing pending the completion of MARC’s annual rating review. The rating has been placed on MARCWatch Developing since July 30, 2007 as a result of a breach in the Debt to Equity Ratio according to the Ijarah Agreement dated 1 July 2004.

MARC expects to complete Ingress’s annual rating review in the next several weeks, following which the MARCWatch placement will be resolved.
