Dear Sir,

Subject: Material Information -Internal Restructuring of Holding Company

In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Rule Book of the Pakistan Stock Exchange, we wish to inform the Pakistan Stock Exchange that as part of an internal reorganization exercise, and after obtaining all requisite regulatory approvals and clearances in Pakistan, the shareholders of United Bank Limited's holding company, i.e. Bestway (Holdings) Limited ("BHL"), a UK based company, have carried out a share for share transfer with a newly incorporated holding company, namely Bestway Group Limited ("BGL") which is also owned by the shareholding families of BHL. Resultantly, BHL has become a wholly owned subsidiary of BGL. The reorganization has in no way impacted the majority shareholding of United Bank Limited (UBL) in any manner, which remains intact and to be held by BHL.

In this respect, UBL has received a disclosure from BGL, which is enclosed.

Subject: Disclosure of exempted Transactions pursuant to Section 109 of the Securities ActPart A

1. It is reported pursuant to Section 109 of the Securities Act read with Regulation 4 of the 2017 Regulations that we, Bestway Group Limited ("BGL"), have acquired on 21 March 2018, 100% shares of Bestway (Holdings) Limited ("BHL") through a share for share exchange with the shareholding families of BHL ("BHL Shareholders"). As such, the BHL Shareholders have swapped their shares in BHL for shares in BGL, with the result that the BHL Shareholders now own 100% of BGL, and BGL owns 100% shares of BHL. This transaction is an internal reorganization exercise and does not attract part IX of the Securities Act (except the reporting requirement), in terms of Section 109(1)(h) of the Securities Act. This transaction has been cleared with the SECP, Competition Commission of Pakistan and State Bank of Pakistan.

2. The BHL Shareholders have incorporated BGL as a holding company specifically to hold shares of BHL. Prior to this transaction, BGL did not hold any shares of BHL. BHL holds 51.6% shares in UBL, and also holds 7.65% shares in UBL through Bestway Cement Limited, a subsidiary of BHL. The reorganization has in no way impacted the majority shareholding of UBL, which remains to be held by BHL.
