    4. Based on the enlarged share capital of 323,802,293 ordinary shares immediately following the allotment and issuance of 22,000,000 Placement Shares and 660,000 Introducer Shares and assuming that all Warrants have been fully exercised into 22,000,000 Warrant Shares.
    5. As at the date of this Announcement, Mr Lee Bee Seng is a shareholder of the Company and holds approximately 0.88% of the total issued share capital of the Company, as described in Paragraph 2.2.

  2. In addition, the Company has agreed to constitute 22,000,000 non-listed, transferable warrants (the "Warrants") to the Placees, on the basis of one (1) Warrant for every one (1) Placement Shares subscribed by the Placees. Each Warrant carries the right to subscribe for one (1) Share at the exercise price of S$0.08 (the "Exercise Price").

  4. The Placement Shares and Warrant Shares, when allotted and issued, will rank in all respects pari passu with the existing issued Shares and be free from all pre-emption rights, charges, liens and other encumbrances and with all rights and benefits attaching thereto save that they will not rank for any dividend, rights, allotments or other distributions, the Record Date (as defined below) of which falls on or before the completion of the Proposed Placement. "Record Date" means the date fixed by the Company for the purposes of determining entitlements to dividends or other distributions to or rights of holders of Shares.
  5. The offer of the Placement Shares and Warrants is made pursuant to the exemption under Section 272B of the Securities and Futures Act (Cap. 289) of Singapore. As such, no prospectus or offer information statement will be issued by the Company in connection with the Proposed Placement.
  6. No placement agent was appointed in connection with the Proposed Placement.

2. THE PLACEES

  1. The Placees were introduced to the Company through the Introducer (defined below). The Placees are individuals who are private investors identified through the network and contact of the Introducer and have expressed interest to invest in the Company for personal investment purposes. None of the Placees is an investment company or fund, nor will they be holding the Placement Shares in trust or as a nominee. The rationale for placing to the Placees is for the fundraising purposes as set out in Paragraph 6 below.
  2. As at the date of this Announcement, save for Mr Lee Bee Seng who holds 2,463,281 Shares, representing 0.88% of the total issued share capital of the Company, the Placees do not hold any Shares or warrants in the Company. For completeness, Mr Levin Lee Keng Weng, Mr Ng Chuen Guan, Mr Ng Eng Tiong and Mr Lee Bee Seng hold shareholding interests in Jubilee Industries Holdings Ltd. ("Jubilee"), being a subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to a placement exercise undertaken by Jubilee of 30,000,000 ordinary shares in the capital of Jubilee and 30,000,000 non-listed, transferable warrants, which had completed on 4 August 2021 ("Jubilee Placement"). Please refer to the announcements on Jubilee Placement, for further details.
  3. The Placees have confirmed that:
    1. they have no existing connection (including business relationships) with the Company, its Directors and substantial shareholders, and are not persons to whom the Company is prohibited from issuing shares to, as provided under Rule 812 of the SGX-ST Listing Manual Section B: Rules of Catalist (the "Catalist Rules"); and
    2. they are not acting in concert (as contemplated in the Singapore Code of Takeovers and Mergers) with any party in the acquisition of the Placement Shares.

3. THE INTRODUCER

  1. The Placees were introduced to the Company by Lye Won Fui, who is an unrelated third party of the Company (the "Introducer"). The Introducer is a private investor and has built up a wide network of business contacts through his experience. The Introducer was introduced to the Company, as he had, also introduced certain placees to Jubilee in the Jubilee Placement. Some of the Placees in the Company's Proposed Placement, namely,
    Mr Levin Lee Keng Weng, Mr Ng Chuen Guan, Mr Ng Eng Tiong and Mr Lee Bee Seng, were also placees in the Jubilee Placement. By way of background, the Proposed Placement by the Company was only contemplated after completion of the Jubilee Placement and accordingly, the Jubilee Placement and the Proposed Placement are independent exercises and are not contingent upon each other.
  2. In consideration of the administrative services provided by the Introducer in introducing the Placees to the Company, by providing contact between the Placees and the Company and providing information and details of the Placees to the Company, the Company has agreed to pay to the Introducer, an introduction fee of 3.0% per Placement Share, for the Placement Shares for which the Introducer has successfully introduced Placees for ("Introducer Fee"). The Introducer Fee of 3.0% per Placement Share, was arrived at on arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Introducer, which the Company believes is on commercial terms, and in line with the prevailing market rates and practices for transactions of this nature. No part of the Introducer Fee will be shared with the Placees.

3

  1. The Introducer Fee shall be fully satisfied by the issuance and delivery of up to 660,000
    Shares of the Company at the Placement Price ("Introducer Shares"), assuming that the Introducer has successfully introduced Placees for the subscription for the 22,000,000 Placement Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of an agreement entered into between the Company and the Introducer.
  2. The Introducer Shares when allotted and issued, will rank in all respects pari passu with the existing issued Shares and be free from all pre-emption rights, charges, liens and other encumbrances and with all rights and benefits attaching thereto save that they will not rank for any dividend, rights, allotments or other distributions, the Record Date of which falls on or before such date of issue of the Introducer Shares.
  3. The Introducer does not hold any Shares in the Company as at the date of this Announcement. However, pursuant to the completion of the Jubilee Placement, the Introducer holds 900,000 ordinary shares in the capital of Jubilee, representing approximately 0.32% in the share capital of Jubilee as at the date of this Announcement.
  4. The Introducer has confirmed that:
    1. he has no connections (including business relationships) with the Company, its Directors and substantial shareholders and is not a person to whom the Company is prohibited from issuing shares to, as provided by Rule 812 of the Catalist Rules; and
    2. he is not acting in concert (as contemplated in the Singapore Code of Takeovers and Mergers) with any party in the receipt of the Introducer Shares.

4. SALIENT TERMS OF THE PLACEMENT LETTERS

  3. the transactions contemplated in the Placement Letters not being prohibited by any statute, order, rule, regulation or directive promulgated or issued after the date of the Placement Letters by any legislative, executive or regulatory body or authority of Singapore which is applicable to the Company; and

4

  1. Subject to the provisions of the relevant Placement Letters (including the Conditions Precedent), Completion shall take place on the date falling three (3) business days after all Conditions Precedent have been satisfied or waived (as the case may be) (or such other date as may be notified by the Company to the Placees).
  2. The Company will be submitting an application, through its Sponsor, RHT Capital Pte. Ltd. to the SGX-ST to obtain the Listing Approval for the listing and quotation notice in respect of the Placement Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Introducer Shares on the Catalist of the SGX-ST from SGX-ST. The Company will make the necessary announcement once the Listing Approval has been obtained from the SGX-ST.

5. WARRANTS ISSUE

5.1 The issue of the Warrants to each of the Placees is subject to and in accordance with the following terms, inter alia, set out in the deed poll to be executed by the Company for the purposes of constituting the Warrants:

  1. Exercise Period. The Warrants are exercisable within one year from the date of the issue of the Warrants unless such date is a date on which the Register of Members is closed or is not a market day, in which event the Warrants shall expire on the date prior to the closure of the Register of Members or the immediately preceding market day, as the case may be (but excluding such period(s) during which the
    Register of Warrantholders may be closed) (the "Expiration Date").
  2. Adjustments. The Exercise Price and the number of Warrants would be subject to adjustment in the event of, inter alia, rights, bonus or other capitalisation issues. Any such adjustments shall (unless otherwise provided under the Catalist Rules) be announced by the Company.

6. USE OF PROCEEDS AND RATIONALE

6.1 The Company is proposing to undertake the Proposed Placement to strengthen its general working capital, given that, whilst the current working capital position of the Group is sufficient for present purposes, the increase in the general working capital base will allow the Group to capitalise on growth opportunities in its existing businesses in order to undertake projects and/or transactions, which could in turn, increase the Group's revenue. In particular, notwithstanding that the Group has cash balances of S$6.4 million as at 31 March 2021, it should be noted that most of such cash balances comprise cash balances of Jubilee, being a subsidiary of the Company, and such cash balances pertaining to Jubilee
