The Executive Committee decided:

1. To note:
   1. The progress report on implementation of the first tranche of stage II of the HCFC phase-out management plan (HPMP) for Malaysia;
   2. That Asia Roofing, on an exceptional basis, had changed its technology to cyclopentane, a low global-warming-potential technology, at no additional cost to the Multilateral Fund;
2. To approve the second tranche of stage II of the HPMP for Malaysia, and the corresponding 2019–2021 tranche implementation plan, in the amount of US $2,475,225, plus agency support costs of US $173,266 for UNDP, on the understanding that:
   1. If, during implementation, Allied Foam, Astino, Century, Gai Hin, Hewgant, Insulated Box or Roto Speed decided to change technology from hydrofluoroolefins to pre-blended cyclopentane, they would have the flexibility to do so, on the understanding that the conversions would not be delayed and any additional costs would be covered by the enterprises; and
   2. UNDP would report on the implementation of the technologies chosen at the enterprises in sub-paragraph (b)(i), above, on the status of the bans on the import of refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment operated with HCFCs, and on the manufacturing and new installation of refrigeration and air‑conditioning equipment operating with HCFCs, when submitting the request for the third tranche of the HPMP.
