The Company would also like to inform SCI Shareholders that SCM has announced today that the SCM Rights Issue Resolution and the Whitewash Resolution were duly approved and passed by the SCM Shareholders at the SCM EGM which was also held on 11 August 2020.

The Company thanks SCI Shareholders for their consideration and support for the Distribution Resolution at the SCI EGM today, and will make further announcements in due course on the Proposed Distribution, including, among others, the distribution ratio and the SCI Record Date.

Wong Kim Yin, Group President & CEO, said, "We are grateful for the support demonstrated by our shareholders today. Sembcorp Industries can now move forward as a focused Energy and Urban player. Sembcorp Industries has a strong portfolio, anchored in sectors providing essential solutions and in growing markets such as Asia. With increased strategic focus, we will be able to dedicate our resources and efforts to repositioning our businesses and capturing these growth opportunities. This includes opportunities in the renewable energy sector where Sembcorp Industries is already one of Singapore's largest home-grown renewable energy players."

"We are also encouraged that we can provide support to Sembcorp Marine for its Rights Issue that will enable it to better ride through the downturn and position itself for recovery. Our shareholders can now expect to receive shares in a stronger recapitalised Sembcorp Marine."

Supplemental Disclosure

Separately, the Company would like to clarify that Dr Teh Kok Peng, who is an SCI Non-Independent Director and a member of the Temasek Concert Party Group, has a direct interest in 20,000 SCM Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. Due to an inadvertent oversight, such holding was omitted from the Circular.

Accordingly, the Company has updated the table in paragraph 5.3 of the Letter to Shareholders in the Circular, setting out the interests of the Temasek Concert Party Group as at the Latest Practicable Date and immediately after the Proposed SCM Rights Issue and the Proposed Distribution, to include the holdings of Dr Teh Kok Peng in SCM, as set out in the Appendix to this announcement.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflicts or inconsistencies between the rest of the Circular and the supplemental disclosure (including the Appendix) set out in this announcement, the supplemental disclosure will prevail.
