EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Executive Summary highlights only the salient information of the Proposals. Our shareholders are advised to read this Circular in its entirety for further details and not to rely solely on this Executive Summary in forming a decision on the Proposals before voting at the EGM.
Key information DescriptionReference to Circular
Summary of the Proposals
On 8 September 2020, UOBKH had, on behalf of our Board, announced that we proposed to undertake the following:-
i. proposed private placement of 158,000,000 Placement Shares at an issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share to the identified investors as set out in Section 2 of this Circular; and
ii. proposed diversification of the existing principal activities of our Group to include the Gloves Business.
On 2 November 2020, UOBKH had, on behalf of our Board, announced that Bursa Securities had vide its letter dated 2 November 2020, resolved to approve the listing of and quotation for up to 158,000,000 Placement Shares on the Main Market of Bursa Securities, subject to the conditions as disclosed in Section 10 of this Circular.
Section 1
Basis and justification for the issue price of the Placement Shares
As highlighted in the Subscription Agreements, the Placement Shares are agreed to be subscribed at the issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share. The issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share was arrived at between GETS and the Investors on a willing-buyer willing-seller basis after taking into consideration the historical market prices of GETS Shares, the immediate funding requirements of our Group as well as the financial position of our Group.
The issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share pursuant to the Subscription Agreements represents a discount of approximately 25.74% to the 5-day VWAP of GETS Shares up to and including 7 September 2020, being the last full trading day preceding the execution of the Subscription Agreements of RM0.7406 per GETS Share.
Our Board has also taken into account further justifications in determining the issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share as follows:-
i. the historical financial performance of GETS for the past 4 financial years/ period up to the FYE 30 June 2020, where GETS has been in a loss making position since the FYE 31 December 2016;
ii. with the current business uncertainties that our Group is facing following the material uncertainty related to the going concern raised by our auditors in our audited financial statements for the FYE 30 June 2019, as well as the continued losses recorded by our Group coupled with the uncertainties arising from the recent Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the global and Malaysian economy, our Board is of the view that RM0.55 was reasonable to entice the Investors to subscribe for the Placement Shares;and
iii. by fixing the issue price upfront and executing the Subscription Agreements, we were able to secure a portion of the required funding for our Company. Pursuant to Subscription Agreement I, ADA Capital has or will be advancing approximately RM30.00 million to our Company upon the execution of the Subscription Agreement I (but before its completion) for immediate utilisation by our Company, further details of which utilisation are as set out in Section 4 of this Circular.
Sections 2.4

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
vi
Key information DescriptionReference to Circular
The remaining balance of the subscription amount (i.e. RM56.90 million) from ADA Capital and the other Investors will be remitted in full to a bank account nominated by the Placement Agent within 5 Market Days after the EGM to be convened, subject to obtaining shareholders' approval for the Proposals.
Rationale for the Proposals
Proposed Private Placement
The Proposed Private Placement will provide our Group with an immediate injection of fresh capital which is expected to be partially utilised for the working capital of our existing bus operations which include the repair and maintenance of buses and overhead costs for our bus operations. In addition, our Board has identified the Gloves Business as a new business segment for the purpose of creating an additional/new stream of income for our Group and as such, the Proposed Private Placement is the most expedient and effective way for our Company to raise the necessary funding for our immediate requirements.
Our Board is of the opinion that the Proposed Private Placement is a comparatively efficient avenue to raise the required quantum of funds as opposed to other forms of equity fund raising approaches such as rights issue exercise which is generally more time consuming. In addition, the executed Subscription Agreements provide certainty on the investors(which have been identified upfront) and the placement amount to be raised, thereby giving more assurance to the successful completion of the Proposed Private Placement.
Furthermore, the Proposed Private Placement also enables our Group to raise additional funds without having to incur additional borrowings and related interest expenses. This allows our Group to preserve cash flow for operational purposes and to reduce gearing level.
Further details are highlighted in Section 5.1 of this Circular.
Proposed Diversification
As highlighted in Appendix II of this Circular, our Group has been in a loss making position since the FYE 31 December 2016.
Our Group's express bus services segment which has been the main revenue contributor to our Group's revenue since the FYE 31 December 2016, has also recorded the highest losses amongst our Group's other business segments (i.e. sales of express and used buses and repair and maintenance services, city bus services and electric bus development) mainly due to high operational costs particularly fuel costs, spare part costs, labour costs and repair and maintenance of our Group's fleet of buses.
Given the above, our Group has been actively identifying additional/ newstreams of income to improve our financial performance and expand our earnings base. Upon taking into consideration the growing market demand and sustainability potential for gloves especially following the Covid-19 pandemic and by leveraging on the business acumen of Teong LA and Low BT (who will emerge as our new major shareholder via ADA Capital after the Proposed Private Placement), who each has vast entrepreneurial skills and experience in the glove industry and its related activities, our Group has decided to diversify our existing business to include the Gloves Business.
Further details are highlighted in Section 5.2 of this Circular.

2. PROPOSED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
We had on 8 September 2020, entered into the Subscription Agreements with the Investors, whereby the Investors will subscribe for an aggregate amount of 158,000,000 Placement Shares at an issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share, to be satisfied in full via cash in accordance with the terms and conditions of the respective Subscription Agreements. The Subscription Agreements are not inter-conditional upon each other. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, ADA Capital, a company ultimately held by Low BT, will subscribe for 128,000,000 Placement Shares while Beh Boon Seong, Tan Chai Chek and Chua Choy Guan, who are independent third party investors, will each subscribe for 10,000,000 Placement Shares. As at the LPD, Beh Boon Seong, Tan Chai Chek and Chua Choy Guan do not hold any GETS Shares.
Upon the Subscription Agreements being declared unconditional, ADA Capital will emerge as our largest shareholder with shareholdings of 45.07% and the shareholdings of Teong LA will decrease from 31.87% to 14.14%. As such, the collective shareholdings of ADA Capital and Teong LA will increase from 31.87% to 59.21% and ADA Capital and Teong LA will be obliged to extend an unconditional mandatory take-over offer ("MGO") for the remaining GETS Shares not already held by ADA Capital, Teong LA, Low BT and persons acting in concert with them in accordance with Rule 4.01 of the Rules, details of which are set out in Section 2.7 of this Circular.
As set out in Section 3 of this Circular, to address our Group's financial constraints and improve our Group's financial condition, our Board has identified the Proposed Private Placement as the fund raising exercise to raise the necessary funding to address the cash flow requirements of our Group's existing bus operations. At the same time, the Proposed Private Placement isintended to provide the necessary funding for the capital expenditure and working capital requirements of the Gloves Business pursuant to the Proposed Diversification.
Our Board (after taking into consideration the emergence of ADA Capital as the new major shareholder of our Group pursuant to the Proposed Private Placement coupled with the vast experience of Low BT and Teong LA within the glove industry) is of the view that the Proposed Diversification allows our Group to capitalise on the favourable long-term prospects of the gloveindustry to diversify and expand our income stream, thereby reducing our Group's reliance on the existing bus operations.
Premised on the above and as set out in Section 4 of this Circular, the substantial portion of the gross proceeds to be raised from the Proposed Private Placement will be allocated for the working capital of our Group's existing bus operations, the repayment of our Group's bank borrowings, the construction of glove manufacturing facilities and capital expenditure for the Gloves Business as well as working capital for the Gloves Business.
2.1 Placement size
The Proposed Private Placement involves an issuance of 158,000,000 Placement Shares, representing approximately 55.63% of the total enlarged issued Shares of GETS to the Investors at an issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share.

2.4 Basis and justification for the issue price of the Placement Shares
As highlighted in the Subscription Agreements, the Placement Shares are agreed to be subscribed at the issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share. The issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share was arrived at between GETS and the Investors on a willing-buyer willing-seller basis after taking into consideration the historical market prices of GETS Shares, the immediate funding requirements of our Group as well as the financial position of our Group.
The issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share pursuant to the Subscription Agreements represents a discount of approximately 25.74% to the 5-day VWAP ofGETS Shares up to and including the LTD of RM0.7406 per GETS Share.
In addition, the issue price of the Placement Shares represents the following premium/ discount to the historical share prices of GETS Shares:-

Our Board had also taken into account further justifications in determining the issue price of RM0.55 per Placement Share as follows:- i. the historical financial performance of GETS for the past 4 financial years/
period up to the FYE 30 June 2020, where GETS has been in a loss making position since the FYE 31 December 2016, further details as illustrated in the following table:-
FYE
31 Dec 2016 18-month FPE 30 June 2018*1

Notes:- *1 On 28 February 2018, our Board had approved the change in the FYE of GETS from 31
December to 30 June. The change in FYE was to consolidate the financial results of our acquired subsidiary at that point in time (i.e. Pengangkutan Awam Putrajaya Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd).
*2 For the avoidance of doubt, the audited financial statements for the FYE 30 June 2020
were not available at the time of price-fixing of the Placement Shares. Notwithstanding that, our Group reported LBT of RM19.34 million for the audited FYE 30 June 2020.
ii. with the current business uncertainties that our Group is facing following the
material uncertainty related to the going concern raised by our auditors in our audited financial statements for the FYE 30 June 2019, as well as the continued losses recorded by our Group coupled with the uncertainties arising from the recent Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy, our Board is of the view that RM0.55 was reasonable to entice the Investors to subscribe for the Placement Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, our auditors had also expressed a material uncertainty on our Group's ability to continue as a going concern in our audited financial statements for the FYE 30 June 2020 as set out in Section 3 of this Circular; and
iii. by fixing the issue price upfront and executing the Subscription Agreements, we were able to secure a portion of the required funding for our Company. Pursuant to Subscription Agreement I, ADA Capital will be advancing approximately RM30.00 million to our Company upon the execution of the Subscription Agreement I (but before its completion) for the immediate utilisation by our Company, further details of the proposed utilisation are as set out in Section 4 of this Circular. For further clarification, our Company had received the aforementioned RM30.00 million from ADA Capital on 11 September 2020. The remaining balance of the subscription amount (i.e. RM56.90 million) from ADA Capital and the other Investors will be remitted in full to a bank account nominated by the Placement Agent within 5 Market Days after the EGM to be convened, subject to obtaining shareholders' approval for the Proposals.
2.5 Ranking of the Placement Shares
The Placement Shares will, upon allotment and issuance, rank equally in all respects with the then existing Shares, save and except that the Placement Shares will not be entitled to any dividends, rights, allotments and/ or any other forms of distribution that may be declared, made or paid for which the entitlement date precedes the date of allotment and issuance of the Placement Shares.

2.6 Listing of and quotation for the Placement Shares
The Placement Shares to be issued will be listed and quoted on the Main Market of Bursa Securities. Bursa Securities had, vide its letter dated 2 November 2020,approved the listing of and quotation for the Placement Shares on the Main Market of Bursa Securities.
2.7 Implication of the Rules
Pursuant to Rule 4.01 of the Rules, a person is required to undertake a mandatory offer obligation in the event that he:-
i. acquired more than 33% of the voting shares or voting rights of the company;or
ii. acquires more than 2% of the voting shares or voting rights of the company in any 6 month period (where the person already holds more than 33% but not more than 50% of the voting shares or voting rights of the company).
Upon the Subscription Agreements being declared unconditional, the shareholdings of ADA Capital will increase from nil to 45.07% and the shareholdings of Teong LA will decrease from 31.87% to 14.14%. The collective shareholdings of ADA Capital and Teong LA will increase from 31.87% to 59.21%, as set out below:-
Accordingly, ADA Capital and Teong LA will be obliged to extend an MGO for the remaining GETS Shares not already held by ADA Capital, Teong LA, Low BT and persons acting in concert with them in accordance with the Rules. It is the intention of ADA Capital and Teong LA (collectively, the "Joint Offerors") to launch the MGO on a joint offer basis, and a notice of the MGO will be served to our Board upon the Subscription Agreements being declared unconditional.
It should be noted that the Joint Offerors intend to maintain the listing status of GETS upon completion of the MGO. In the event the Joint Offerors receive valid acceptances of not less than nine-tenth (9/10) in the nominal value of the offer shares on or before the closing date of the MGO, the Joint Offerors do not intend to invoke the provisions of Section 222(1) of the CMSA to compulsorily acquire any remaining offer shares from the dissenting shareholders of GETS for which acceptances have not been received.
We also wish to caution our shareholders that the MGO will only be triggered upon the Subscription Agreements being declared unconditional (i.e. all the conditions precedent set out in Appendix I of this Circular are duly met).

3. PROPOSED DIVERSIFICATION
As at the LPD, our Group is principally involved in the provision of express bus services, sales of express and used buses and repair and maintenance services for buses, city bus services as well as electric bus development. In the past few years, our Group has made severalstrategic initiatives by expanding the public transport service operation to include development of electric bus technology (with the intention to reduce fuel costs, which had been one of the largest cost component of our provision of express bus and city bus services) for ourmanufacturing segment with the objective of commercialisation.
As at the LPD, our Group's development of our first electric bus is at 95% completion and the development of our second electric bus is at 20% completion. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect to commercialise our electric bus technology by September 2021.
As highlighted in Appendix II of this Circular, our Group has been in a loss making position since the FYE 31 December 2016, further details as illustrated in the following table:-

Note:-
*1 On 28 February 2018, our Board had approved the change in the FYE of GETS from 31 December to 30 June. The change in FYE was to consolidate the financial results of our acquired subsidiary at that point in time (i.e. Pengangkutan Awam Putrajaya Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd).
Our Group's financial performance over the financial years/ period under review had mainly relied on the express bus services segment as our main revenue driver, in which it has demonstrated the highest losses amongst our Group's other business segments (i.e. sales ofexpress and used buses and repair and maintenance services, city bus services and electric bus development) as a result of high operational costs particularly fuel costs, spare part costs, labour costs and repair and maintenance of our Group's ageing fleet of buses. Furthermore, our continued losses have negatively affected our Group's cash flow, which has decreased our funds available for the periodic maintenance of our Group's fleet of buses, which in turn has reduced the number of our buses that are operational and has further impeded our Group'sfinancial performance. Pursuant to the abovementioned financial constraints, our Board had announced on 7 November 2019 that Messrs PKF, being our external auditors, had expressed a material uncertainty on our Group's ability to continue as a going concern in our audited financial statements for the FYE 30 June 2019, premised on the following:-
i. Our Group had incurred LAT of RM9.73 million for the FYE 30 June 2019 and as at 30 June 2019, our Group's current liabilities exceed current assets by RM26.25 million;
ii. Our Group had defaulted on principal and interest payments amounting to approximately RM18 million on our borrowing from AmBank Islamic Bank Berhad, AmBank Berhad and Hong Leong Bank Berhad due to our financial constraints; and
iii. Our Group had on-going material litigations with creditors as detailed in our audited financial statements for the FYE 30 June 2019.
For the avoidance of doubt, Messrs PKF had also expressed a material uncertainty on our Group's ability to continue as a going concern in our audited financial statements for the FYE 30 June 2020, premised on the following:-
i. Our Group had incurred LAT of RM20.01 million during the FYE 30 June 2020 and asat 30 June 2020, our Group's current liabilities exceeded our current assets by RM46.46 million. In addition, economic disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic further indicates that a material uncertainty exists on our Group's ability to continue as a going concern;
8
9
ii. Our Group had defaulted on the principal and interest payments amounting to approximately RM20.1 million on its borrowing from AmBank Islamic Bank Berhad, AmBank Berhad and Hong Leong Bank Berhad due to its financial constraints and summary of judgement had been awarded on 23 January 2020, 5 June 2020 and 25 February 2020, respectively. The winding up notice was served to our Group by AmBank Islamic Bank Berhad on 13 July 2020 and AmBank Berhad on 2 July 2020;and
iii. Our Company and certain subsidiaries have pending material litigations with financial institutions and creditors and are also in negotiation with the creditors that have issued a notice or petition of winding up for an amicable settlement.
Notwithstanding the above, Messrs PKF had given its opinion that our financial statements for the FYE 30 June 2020, which were prepared on a going concern basis, give a true and fair view of the financial positions of our Group as at 30 June 2020. The validity of Messrs PKF's opinion is dependent on our Group completing the Proposed Private Placement and utilising the proceeds for the intended purposes, the ability of our Group to restructure and settle its defaulted borrowings with the lenders and our Group's ability to achieve sustainable and viable operations with adequate cash flows generated.
On 25 August 2020, there had been an emergence of a new major shareholder, namely Teong LA, who holds an approximate 31.87% equity interest in GETS. Pursuant to his emergence as our new major shareholder, Teong LA together with our management and auditors, have been evaluating/ exploring the viable options available (i.e. fund raising exercises) to address our Group's abovementioned financial constraints.
Upon evaluating the financial position of our Group, Teong LA together with our Board have identified 2 core issues for the current financial predicament of our Group:-
i. the tight cash flow position of our Group as is mainly a result of the decreasing revenue due to intense competition within the bus industry due to low barriers of entry and limitations in the local bus routes. Our Group's tight cash flow position is also primarily attributable to higher operational costs (particularly fuel costs, spare part costs, labour costs and repair and maintenance of our Group's ageing fleet of buses) incurred from our existing bus operations throughout the financial years/ period under review; and
ii. the operations of the buses are affected as a result of our Group being unable to undertake the required periodic maintenance of our buses due to the abovementioned tight cash flow position of our Group (which affected a number of buses within our fleet). As at the LPD, out of our Group's total fleet size of 81 buses, our Group is unable to utilise 66 buses, which are due for repair, while only 15 buses are in normal operating condition.
Given the above findings, our Board has identified the fund raising exercise to raise the necessary funding in order to address the cash flow requirements of our Group. At the same time, our Board has also identified the Gloves Business as a new business segment for our Group to diversify into and expand our income stream, thereby reducing our Group's reliance on the existing bus operations.
Our Group had decided to diversify into the Gloves Business after taking into consideration the emergence of ADA Capital as the new major shareholder of our Group pursuant to the Proposed Private Placement coupled with Low BT's expertise in the manufacturing of gloves and in-depth knowledge of the Gloves Business. Further thereto and as set out in Section 6.3 of this Circular, Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association ("MARGMA") hadhighlighted that exports of Malaysian rubber gloves are expected to increase 20 percent to 230 billion pairs by 2020 and global demand for rubber gloves is expected to increase by 15 to 20 percent in 2020, as compared to the usual demand growth of 8 to 10 percent due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

10
Premised on the above, our Board is of the view that the Proposed Diversification (supported by the extensive Gloves Business experience of Low BT and Teong LA) may allow our Groupto capitalise on the abovementioned favourable long-term prospects of the glove industry togenerate an additional revenue stream to our Group. In addition, our Board anticipates that the Gloves Business will largely contribute to our Group's future earnings given our intention to expand our glove production capacity to generate higher sales and Low BT's experience in leading glove manufacturing operations, as evidenced by his contributions to founding and listing Latexx Partners Berhad, which was one of the largest rubber glove manufacturers in Malaysia.
Pursuant to the Proposed Diversification, our Group intends to construct a new glove manufacturing plant which has an estimated built up area of 520,000 sq ft and is capable of housing up to 12 glove-dipping lines on the industrial land currently owned by our Group (further details of which are highlighted in Section 4 of this Circular) to undertake the Gloves Business.
