      1. make or grant offers, agreements or options (collectively, "Instruments") that might or would require Shares to be issued, including but not limited to the creation and issue of (as well as adjustments to) warrants, debentures or other instruments convertible or exchangeable into Shares,
        at any time and upon such terms and conditions and for such purposes and to such persons as the Directors may in their absolute discretion deem fit; and
    2. (notwithstanding that the authority conferred by this Resolution may have ceased to be in force) issue Shares in pursuance of any Instrument made or granted by the Directors while this Resolution was in force,

provided that:

[See Explanatory Note (a)]

(Resolution 7)

By Order of the Board

LOTUS ISABELLA LIM MEI HUA

Company Secretary

Explanatory Notes:

  1. The ordinary resolution 7 in item, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company to issue shares in the Company and to make or grant instruments (such as warrants or debentures) convertible into shares, and to issue shares in pursuance of such instruments from the date of this Annual General Meeting until the date of the next Annual General Meeting. The aggregate number of shares which the Directors may issue (including shares to be issued pursuant to convertibles) under this ordinary resolution must not exceed 50% of the total number of issued shares, excluding treasury shares, in the capital of the Company with a sub-limit of 10% for issues other than on a pro-rata basis. For the purpose of determining the aggregate number of shares that may be issued, the total number of issued shares, excluding treasury shares, will be calculated based on the total number of issued shares, excluding treasury shares, in the capital of the Company at the time that this ordinary resolution is passed, after adjusting for (a) new shares arising from the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities or exercise

of share options or vesting of share awards which are outstanding or subsisting at the time that this ordinary resolution is passed, and (b) any subsequent bonus issue, consolidation or subdivision of shares. The sub-limit of 10% for issues other than on a pro-rata basis is below the 20% sub-limit permitted by the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST. The Directors believe that the lower sub-limit of 10% would sufficiently address the Company's present need to maintain flexibility while taking into account shareholders' concerns against dilution.
