Description	LEGAL PROCEEDING INITIATED BY THE COMPANY
On behalf of the Board of Directors of IRIS Corporation Berhad (“Company”), we hereby announce that the Company has commenced a defamation suit through Kuala Lumpur High Court Suit No. 23NCVC-55-11/2016 (“the Suit”) against (i) DIPON GULF INFOTECH (“First Defendant”); CONSULTANCY LLC (“Second Defendant”); (ii) DG INFOTECH LIMITED and (iii) DIPON GROUP (M) SDN BHD (Company No. 1025666-P) (“Third Defendant”)  (hereinafter collectively referred as the “Defendants”). The Company is part of a consortium of companies which was awarded a contract by the Government of Bangladesh for a project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. By a letter dated 6.11.2015, through its solicitors together with a statutory demand pursuant to Section 218 of the Companies Act 1965 dated 6.11.2015 (‘said Notice’), the Defendants being a part of the Dipon Group of Companies (“DGC”) had caused the said Notice to be issued to the Company demanding the repayment of RM2,453,638.40 and US$2,159,756.00 against purported invoices and for purported work done in various localities namely in Malaysia, United Arab Emirates and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by the Dipon Group of Companies. The Company by a letter dated 20.11.2015 through its solicitors replied to the said Notice denying and disputing the claim and indicating that the Company would seek injunctive relief against any filing of a petition should the Defendants proceed with the Petition. By a reply letter dated 25.11.2015 through its solicitors, the Defendants had agreed to withhold the filing of the Petition. Despite the aforesaid, the First Defendant had proceeded to file in the Petition on 2.3.2016 (Winding Up Suit No. WA-NCC-180-03/2016) (“Petition”) at the Kuala Lumpur High Court without giving due notice to the Company. Following the Petition, the Defendants had caused the placement of the notice of the Petition in the following newspapers, The Star and Utusan Malaysia on the dates of 14.3.2016 and 15.3.2016 (‘said Advertisements’). The Company contends that the above description and information contained in the said Notice, the Petition and the said Advertisements by DGC is erroneous when in fact there are no common links of ownership between DGC and the Defendants. The Petition, the said Advertisements were crafted to give the impression that the Company was owing to all the named members of this grouping when it is only the First Defendant that was pursuing the Petition for a specific amount of purported debt owing and not all the named members of the group of companies (‘the impugned words’). The Company contends that in their natural and ordinary meaning, the impugned words in the said Advertisements were untrue and defamatory and had brought odium and contempt to the reputation of the Company which negatively affected the Company’s share price. On 4.11.2016, the Company through its solicitors had issued a letter of demand to the Defendants demanding for an apology by the Defendants to be published in The Star and Utusan Malaysia newspaper and the damages of RM5,000,000.00 within five (5) days from the date of the letter (‘said demand letter’). Until the date of this suit, the Defendants have failed to reply or neglected to reply to the said demand letter. Hence, the Company initiated the Suit against the Defendants. This announcement is dated 11 November 2016.

艾力斯业绩急转直下 次季蒙亏
By Anette Appaduray / theedgemarkets.com   | November 30, 2016 : 3:53 PM MYT

（吉隆坡30日讯）艾力斯（Iris Corp Bhd）2017财政年次季净亏2130万令吉，相比同期净赚480万令吉，归咎于总盈利赚幅大幅萎缩。

该集团2017财年次季（截至2016年9月30日止）的营业额按年下跌31.4%至8790万令吉，同期报1亿2810万令吉。

艾力斯今日向大马交易所发文告报备，次季税前亏损走高，主要因为其电子认证部的直接支出较高所致。

总结本财年首9个月的业绩表现，集团蒙亏2524万令吉，相比同期净赚550万令吉；营业额则按年下跌26.1%至1亿6770万令吉，同期录得2亿2680万令吉。

展望未来，艾力斯表示，鉴于全球经济增长复苏势头缓慢，2017财年市场情况料持续充满挑战。

“在本地市场方面，令吉和原产品价格将持续波动，而产业市场仍旧疲软。”

捕官联公司两高层
反贪会冻结拿督户头百万存款

2017年1月19日
（吉隆坡19日讯）马来西亚反贪污委员会再逮获“大鱼”，一名拥有“拿督”勋衔的政府官联公司代总执行长，以及同一官联公司一名国际销售经理，因涉嫌自2013年在涉及一个非洲国家的电子护照计划中贪污滥权，双双被扣查。

据可靠消息指出，初步调查显示，两名嫌犯已在有关官联公司任职约7年，前后接收了约50万令吉的贿金，包括欧元和美元。

反贪会已冻结该名拿督夫妇及孩子多个银行户头合共总额约100万令吉的存款。

这两名现年分别58及36岁的嫌犯，是在今日中午约12时，在反贪会展开的“几内亚行动”中，于各自住家被捕。

该名“拿督”头衔总执行长是在位于Tropicana Indah的住家被捕，而销售经理则在位于旧巴生路帝沙花园的住宅被捕。

2人向海外公司索贿

据消息指出，有关官联公司早前与非洲一个国家签署为期15年的合约，准备合作实施电子护照设施。

两名嫌犯涉嫌在2013年至2015年期间滥用职权，在该计划下向一家海外私人公司索贿，有关电子护照的成本为每一份46美元，而有关公司必须支付23美元予有关国家政府。

有关公司委任有关国家的一家私人公司为“本地伙伴”，并签署一项协议，每一份电子护照所收取的费用，支付其中5令吉予有关“本地伙伴”。

每5元分佣1元

然而，在签署有关协议前，该名拿督已和“本地伙伴”业主会面，以维护该私人公司的良好商誉为由，要求对方所收取的每5令吉中，分佣1令吉予他，并保证两家公司在电子护照计划下所签署的合约持续生效，直到特许经营权期限届满为止。

“‘本地伙伴’业主不愿错失获利前景丰厚的合约，惟有答应对方的索贿。”

消息说，两名嫌犯要求上述私人公司业主接受现金付款，并签署签收付款的文件，但事实上，有关公司从未接获分毫。

两名嫌犯是在2009年大马反贪会法令第16(a)(A) 条文及2001年防范洗黑钱、防范恐怖融资与非法活动收入法令第4(1)(b)条文下被扣查，

FIC持25%股权

据消息透露，联邦土地发展局旗下的Felda 投资私人有限公司（FIC）也持有上述官联公司25%股权，而自2013年来的投资价值约为2亿令吉。

反贪会调查主任拿督西米阿都甘尼受询时，证实上述逮捕行动。

他说，反贪会严正看待此事，因为上述官联公司拥有取得有关国家机密的权限。

他指出，此事令人非常担忧，因为两名嫌犯可能已在获取丰厚酬劳下，泄露有关资料。

“反贪会促请任何掌握两名嫌犯所作所为者提供线索，协助调查。”

两名嫌犯预料将于明日（20日）被带上布城推事庭延扣。【e南洋】

反贪会指控滥权涉贪
艾力斯副董事经理被捕

2017年1月20日
（吉隆坡20日讯）艾力斯（IRIS，0010，创业板）副董事经理拿督韩丹，因被指控滥权及在参与电子护照项目时涉及贪污，昨天已被马来西亚反贪污委员拘捕。

艾力斯向马交所报备，韩丹是因为被指滥权，以及在参与几内亚共和国（The Republic of Guinea）政府的电子护照项目时涉贪，因此被拘捕。

早前，艾力斯与几内亚共和国政府签约，负责在该国推行电子护照设备，为期15年。

针对此事，反贪会今天取得布城地方法庭发出的6天还押令，好让反贪会继续调查此案。

营运总监暂代职务

在调查还未结束前，艾力斯表示，韩丹的执行权力将被暂时搁置，而他的副董事经理兼代总执行长的职位，也将由目前的营运总监张忠福（译音）暂代。

该公司表示，韩丹被还押，并不会影响艾力斯与几内亚共和国政府之间的合约，对电子护照项目亦不会有任何影响。

另外，这起事件也不会显著影响2017和18财年的净利与净资产。

同时，艾力斯也表示，会针对该调查给予充分合作。

艾力斯是在2013年10月，获得几内亚共和国颁发总值约7.9亿令吉的合约，为该国的电子护照、签证、永久居民身分证及相关软硬体，提供晶片科技解决方案。

不仅如此，去年8月，艾力斯也获得一项总值约1.7亿令吉的合约，为该国供应250万张电子护照。 【e南洋】

副董事经理涉滥权．艾力斯盈利负面

（吉隆坡23日讯）艾力斯（IRIS，0010，创业板科技组）副董事经理拿督韩丹遭反贪局指控滥权，以及几内亚电子护照工程涉及贪腐行为，并遭到逮捕，达证券对此感到负面，忧虑集团失去几内亚共和国电子护照合约将影响未来盈利20至26%。

艾力斯发文告称，将暂停韩丹职务，并由首席营运员张忠福（译音）暂时接手，并重申相关逮捕令不会对几内亚共和国电子护照合约的“合法性”带来任何影响。

达证券虽维持其盈利目标不变，但若几内亚共和国电子护照合约告吹，恐影响集团未来盈利20至26%。

艾力斯是在2014年与西非几内亚共和国政府签订15年达7亿9千余万令吉合约，提供国际民航组织规范的电子护照及多应用智能卡服务。

达证券认为，鉴于市场对相关消息感到负面，相信集团股价将会有下行压力，维持其“守住”评级，目标价为14仙。

股价：13.5仙（+0.5仙）

傅文耀．船长先跳船？

艾力斯（IRIS，0010，创业板科技组）在猴年年杪不利，副董事经理拿督韩丹以及国际销售经理，因其非洲几内亚政府护照合约涉及腐败行为，遭反贪会逮捕，以作进一步调查。

该公司是在2014年获得总值7亿2931万令吉的护照和证件合约，为该国提供电子护照、签证、永久居民身份证以及相关软硬体等安全晶片与解决方案。

该公司随后立即发文告表示，即刻暂停韩丹职务，并强调并不会影响该公司和几内亚政府合约的“合法性”。

凑巧的是，在韩丹被反贪会逮捕扣留前，该公司创办人兼首席执行员拿督陈斯任早在1月17至19日期间，以每股13仙，脱售总值52万令吉的400万公司股权，但却迟至23日才对公众公布。在脱售该批股权后，陈斯任尚持有该公司2.704%股权。

早在去年，陈斯任就开始逐步出清手上的艾力斯股权，根据该公司2016年年报，陈斯任当时尚持有该公司6.45%股权。但在同年12月23日，陈氏以每股10.9仙脱售该公司5660万股，之后就不再是公司显著大股东。

同时，陈斯任自去年11月1日起就开始请假，由韩丹代理公司首席执行员职位。在他请假后，韩丹就是艾力斯第一把交椅。

韩丹涉案一事被公开后，公司股价急挫，分析员对其前景也感到负面。

电影中“铁达尼”号在快要下沉的时候，船长率先安排妇孺先乘坐救生船离开，一些争先恐后的男乘客还被船长击毙，在尽最大的能力拯救乘客后，船长也以英勇姿态葬身大海。

但浪漫电影情节，又怎么会发生在现实中呢？现实世界的船长只会向韩国“世越”号的船长和水手一样，将乘客安危放在一边，先保住自己。

股民呀，你们在选择公司投资时候，别忘了观察公司的“船长”，选错船长，只能说你识人无方，血本无归怪不得人。

艾力斯CEO陈斯任休假

2017年2月14日
（吉隆坡13日讯）艾力斯（IRIS，0010，创业板）上周证实，联合创办人兼董事经理和总执行长拿督陈斯任，因私人理由，已于去年11月起休假。

根据截至1月24日的资料，他今年1月17、18和19日，连续3日通过公开市场，以每股13仙共52万令吉的价格，卖出400万股。

韩丹退出执委会

目前，陈斯任仍直接持有2.704%股权或6075万8691股。

另外，艾力斯，上周五也向马交所报备，董事部当天成立了营运咨询委员会（Operations Advisory Committee，简称OAC），以监督公司营运。

OAC为期3个月，成员包括艾力斯非独立非执行董事拿督阿兹曼、独立非执行董事拿督阿布塔里布和陈法兰斯（皆译音）。

OAC监督业务

艾力斯指出，OAC没有行政权，主要任务是监督艾力斯的业务续展和改进。

另一方面，该公司委任拿督阿布塔里布，取代休假中的副董事经理拿督韩丹在执行委员会（EXCO）的职位。

根据艾力斯文告，执委会原本成立来应对陈斯任休假，到2月7日截止。

不过，今年1月20日，韩丹遭指控滥权及在参与电子护照项目时涉及贪污，被反贪污委员拘捕。董事部因而要求韩丹休假，直到另行通知。同时，张忠福（译音）将继续担任总执行长一职。【e南洋】

重新专注身份识别业务
艾力斯重组翻身战

2017年3月22日
（吉隆坡21日讯）自2015财年陷入亏损的艾力斯（IRIS，0010，创业板）考虑脱售非核心业务，意即会重新专注在身份识别解决方案，寄望以此翻身。

有媒体今天引述艾力斯的消息指该公司，正制定一项企业重组计划，确保持续增长，以及为股东创造长期价值。”

该报道指，艾力斯会脱售产业发展和教育业务，以及废料转至能源（WTE）厂，这三项陷亏的业务；并建议配售股票筹资。

艾力斯针对有关报道，今午向交易所报备时证实，正考虑着脱售业务和配股的计划。

“但目前仍处于初步洽谈，还未敲定计划。”

联邦土地发展局（FELDA）通过独资子公司联邦土地发展局投资机构（FIC），持有艾力斯21.33%股权。

有消息指在主席丹斯里沙礼尔要求下，三方正洽谈重组计划。

艾力斯曾是我国进入电子护照和智慧型身份证的推手，当年也是红极一时的新兴股。

政府于1998年3月推出电子护照，以及在2001年4月推出大马卡（MyKad）时，艾力斯开创了全球第一个电子护照和国家多用途智能卡。

该公司其他身份识别解决方案包括边境管制自动化、银行、间接游客退税计划和自动售票系统等等。

随后因无法争取到新的电子护照和大马卡合约后，艾力斯曾转向发展高科技种植，但却无法重回当年光辉。

艾力斯目前每股亏损1.12仙，过去52周都在10.5至21仙价位徘徊，能否重拾江山，这次翻身战尤其关键。

相信受到重组消息激励，艾力斯今天买盘大增，终场时上扬3.45%或0.5仙，挂15仙，成交量2097万2000股。

该股曾在2006年7月13日冲上1.39令吉，为上市以来历史高点。

传创办人回归任顾问

消息指出，为了重回到身份识别业务，艾力斯共同创办人拿督李贵贤和叶福兴（译音）将回归，并担任技术顾问。

艾力斯因几内亚护照项目佣金遭起诉
By Ahmad Naqib Idris / theedgemarkets.com   | March 23, 2017 : 8:22 PM MYT

（吉隆坡23日讯）艾力斯（Iris Corp Bhd）指出，Roxwell Group 私人有限公司正就西非几内亚共和国（Republic of Guinea）的建造-拥有-转移（BOT）护照合约所涉及的佣金支付起诉该公司。

艾力斯今日向大马交易所报备，Roxwell已将艾力斯和其他4人，即集团创办人兼前总执行长拿督陈斯任、董事Su Thai Ping、前副董事经理Hamdan Hassan和Sylla Ibrahima Sory列为被告。

高庭已择定案件在4月11日过堂。

艾力斯指出，Roxwell根据双方在2011年签署的协议，基于几内亚政府在2013年向艾力斯授予的BOT合约价值的15%计算，寻求1亿6948万令吉的佣金。

艾力斯承认，作为由后者安排的工厂、设备、机械或资产销售，该公司同意向Roxwell支付15%的佣金。

不过，该公司表示该项目并不涉及厂房和设备销售，也没有收到几内亚的定金。

“艾力斯否认违反协议，并重申原告人在执行协议的两年内，从未以任何方式协助艾力斯取得任何合约。”

“艾力斯将通过律师申请撤销诉讼，除其他事项外，还将提出滥用诉讼程序。”

“这项诉讼对艾力斯集团没有实质影响，据建议，艾力斯保留向原告人或其律师索取因诉讼引起的损害追讨赔偿的权利。”

Description	Legal Proceeding Initiated Against IRIS Corporation Berhad
The Board of Directors of IRIS Corporation Berhad (“ICB”) wishes to announce that Roxwell Group Sdn Bhd (Reg.No. 755819-U) (“Plaintiff”) had filed a Writ of Summons (“Suit”) dated 10 Mac 2017 at the High Court of Kuala Lumpur against ICB being the first defendant and four others, namely Tan Say Jim, Su Thai Ping, Hamdan Bin Mohd Hassan and Sylla Ibrahima Sory being the second, third, fourth and fifth defendants respectively. The writ of the Suit was received by ICB on 15 March 2017. The Plaintiff is claiming for an alleged commission payment in the amount of RM 169, 480, 350.00 (together with interest deemed appropriate by the court) under the Cooperation Agreement dated 17 January 2011 between the Plaintiff and ICB (“Agreement”) calculated based on the formula of 15% on the reported value of the BOT Passport Contract awarded by the Government of the Republic of Guinea to ICB in 2013 (“Project”). Among the salient terms of the Agreement was for the Plaintiff to identify for ICB for potential projects in the Republic of Guinea and Guinea Bissau (“Territory”) for a period of three (3) years from the date of the Agreement. In consideration of any and all services in respect of the Agreement involving the sale of plant, equipment, machinery or asset arranged by the Plaintiff, ICB agreed to pay the Plaintiff a commission of 15% on the value or price of the plant, equipment, machinery or asset sold. It is relevant to note that the Project does not involve the sale of plant and equipment and no deposit was received from the Republic of Guinea. There was also no commission payment agreed between the Plaintiff and ICB as to the securement of the Project. ICB denies it has breached the Agreement and wishes to reiterate that the Plaintiff had never in any way facilitated to secure any contract whatsoever in favour of ICB within the two years from the execution of the Agreement. By virtue of clause 7.1 of the Agreement, the same in effect became redundant and was never pursued. The Plaintiff via its solicitors served ICB a letter of demand in relation to the alleged commission payable for the securement of the Project in 21 July 2014 which was categorically denied and refuted by ICB’s solicitors via letter dated 19 September 2014.  ICB shall through its solicitors apply to strike out the Suit as among other things and claim for abuse of process. There is no material impact to the IRIS Group arising from this Suit and as advised, the ICB reserves all rights to claim against the Plaintiff and/or its solicitors for damages arising from this Suit. The case management of this Suit is fixed on 11 April 2017. This announcement is dated 23 March 2017. This announcement is made on 6 September 2016.

Reference is made to ICB’s earlier announcement dated 23 March 2017 in relation to the Suit ( " Earlier Announcement " ). Unless otherwise stated, defined terms in this announcement shall carry the same meanings as defined in the Earlier Announcement. ICB wishes to clarify that it does not foresee any estimated potential liability will be arisen from this suit as ICB is of the opinion that the Plaintiff’s action in filing the Suit is vexatious and frivolous. Save for legal fees and disbursements involved, ICB is not expected to incur losses arising from the Suit. There is no financial and operational impact arising from the Suit as the Plaintiff has never secured any contract in favour of ICB. This announcement is dated 28 March 2017.

艾力斯引入策略伙伴
Ahmad Naqib Idris/The Edge Financial Daily
April 17, 2017 10:36 am MYT

（吉隆坡17日讯）艾力斯（Iris Corp Bhd）正引入一名新策略伙伴，作为重新专注于核心识别解决方案业务计划的一部分，并加强该业务的营运。

熟悉此事的人士表示，艾力斯董事部已批准新投资者入股，连同持股21.33%的Felda Investment Corp私人有限公司（FIC），成为艾力斯的主要投资者。

“新的主要投资者是公司重组募集资金的一部分。董事部已经就此通过，所以艾力斯很快将宣布一个重要的合作伙伴计划。”

消息人士透露，他们将与FIC共同推动艾力斯的未来发展，并指新大股东是一个著名的企业投资者，曾涉及其他上市公司的重组。

当联系艾力斯时，该公司说目前仍在完成讨论之中，并重申正在积极物色新的投资者。

该公司还计划向潜在投资者配售高达10%的发行及缴足资本。

艾力斯一名代表告诉《The Edge》财经日报说：“还没有敲定，但我们之前曾说过，我们正在寻找更多的资金和投资者。这是我们部分策略，这就是我们正在开展的工作。”

艾力斯上个月宣布了三管齐下的企业重组计划，并获得FIC和联邦土地发展局（FELDA）董事部的正面反应。

该计划涉及股权融资、短期债务融资、脱售非必需资产和应收账款让售的筹资活动。

该公司表示，筹资活动将涉及与Malaysia Industrial Development Finance Bhd、主要机构、策略投资张、贷方和艾力斯债权人等各方的合作。

重组计划的宣布，令该股引起一些购兴，在4月7日升至19.5仙的6个月高位。

该计划还包括联合创办人Datuk Tony Lee和Chas Yap回归，担任公司的技术顾问。

由于个人原因，艾力斯集团董事经理拿督陈斯任自2016年11月7日休假。该公司因而成立包括董事Datuk Nik Azman与Francis Chan，以及副董事经理Datuk Hamdan Hassan的执行委员会。后者被大马反贪污委员会还押后，由董事Datuk Abu Talib Bachik接替。


随着该执行委员会任期于2月7日届满后，该公司成立由3名董事组成的营运咨询委员会，负责监督艾力斯的业务革新和改善工作。

截至2016年12月杪的2017财政年第三季，艾力斯净亏按年扩大至179万令吉，或每股0.08仙，因营业额由同期的1亿4514万令吉，跌6.7%至1亿3546万令吉。

业绩下滑归咎于销售成本走高，以及产业发展与建筑和教育业务的贡献走低。

2017财年首9个月的净亏为2703万令吉，或每股1.21仙，相比同期净赚453万令吉或每股0.22仙。

（吉隆坡21日讯）艾力斯（Iris Corp Bhd）将与挪威生物识别公司Zwipe合作，探讨大马生物识别智能卡应用的潜能。

艾力斯联合创办人兼技术顾问Chas Yap表示，双方将探讨两家公司在大马推广该技术的可能。

他今日在媒体汇报会上说：“艾力斯从事识别业务二十多年，我们的设施都是面向可信识别。另一方面，Zwipe是纯支付，也是IP公司。”

“我们正在探讨未来如何将金融和识别融合在一起。”

他表示，制造生物识别卡和艾力斯目前所涉及的身份证与护照组件制造之间有一些相似之处，但他补充，艾力斯需要进一步的投资来提升制造能力。

他指出：“主要是我们将投资在设备。这是一种新的加工技术，我们需要先进的设备，也可能得投入资源，这取决于我们将要开发的共同努力。”

Zwipe总执行长Kim Humborstad说，双方将研究如何将新技术引入市场，并将其扩展至大马以外。

“我们俩正在政府识别和支付领域合作，不仅专注于大马，也有其他市场。正如我们今天所说，我们正在寻找将其推向市场的最佳方法。”

通过Felda Investment Corp私人有限公司（FIC）持有艾力斯21.33%的联邦土地发展局（FELDA），对两家公司的合作持乐观态度。

FELDA主席Tan Sri Sharir Samad表示，FELDA和FIC将讨论这项计划，以确定所需投资。

他说：“艾力斯目前正进行企业重组计划，所以我们一定会看看这项新业务的新投资。我们将把这带到FIC董事部和FELDA，就如何为这项新投资提供资金。”
