            PILLAR 3 DISCLOSURE






            OVERVIEW

            The  Pillar 3  Disclosure is  a regulatory  requirement  aimed  at enhancing market  transparency  and discipline. It is prepared  in
            accordance to the Bank Negara Malaysia’s (“BNM’s”) guidelines “Capital Adequacy Framework for Islamic Banks (“CAFIB”) -
            Disclosure Requirements (“Pillar 3”)” and contains qualitative and quantitative information on Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad’s
            (“BMMB”) risk exposures and capital adequacy levels as well as on its capital and risk management practices.
            In assessing its capital position, BMMB applies the prescribed Standardised Approach to measure its credit and market risk
            exposures and the Basic Indicator Approach for operational risk, as outlined under the BNM’s CAFIB guidelines.
            This Pillar 3 disclosure is published for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 and should be read in conjunction with
            BMMB’s audited financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2024.

            1.0   SCOPE OF APPLICATION
                 The  Pillar  3  Disclosure  is  prepared  on  a  consolidated  basis  and  comprises  information  on  BMMB  and  its  subsidiaries
                 (hereinafter referred as “the Group and the Bank”). Information on subsidiaries is available in Note 11 to the financial
                 statements.

                 The  basis  of  consolidation  for  financial  accounting  purposes  is  described  in  Notes  2.2  to  the  financial  statements,  and
                 differs from that used for regulatory capital purposes. The investment in subsidiary companies is deducted from regulatory
                 capital at entity level and consolidated at group level.

                 There are no significant restrictions or impediments on the transfer of funds or regulatory capital within the Group.
                 There were no capital deficiencies in any of the subsidiary companies of the Group as at the financial year end.

                 All information in the ensuing paragraphs is based on the Group’s position. Certain information on capital adequacy
                 relating  to  the Group  and the  Bank  is presented  on  a voluntary  basis  to  provide additional  information  to  users. The
                 capital-related information of the Group and the Bank, which is presented on a global basis, includes its offshore banking
                 activities in Labuan as determined under the CAFIB.
                 This document discloses the Group’s and the Bank’s quantitative disclosures in accordance with the disclosure
                 requirements as outlined in the CAFIB – Disclosure Requirements (“Pillar 3”) issued by BNM.
                 These  disclosures  have  been  reviewed  and  verified  by  internal  auditors  and  approved  by  the  Board  and  Directors  of
                 the Group.

                 Scope of disclosure
                 The detailed scope of published disclosure is subject to the following classification of information:

                 •   Insignificant,  i.e.  its  exclusion  or  distortion  cannot  influence  the  assessment  or  decision  of  a  person  using  such
                    information to make economic decisions, or influence such an assessment or decision

                 •   Reserved, i.e. its public distribution might adversely influence the position of the Group and the Bank on the market
                    according to regulations on competition and consumer protection,
                 •   Subject  to  law-protected  confidentiality,  such  information  is  not  published.  In  case  of  not  publishing  reserved
                    information or the one which is subject to law-protected confidentiality, the Group and the Bank disclose information
