The board of directors of Capital World Limited announced that the Government of Singapore has on 3 April 2020 implemented heightened safe-distancing measure (the "Order"), to reduce Coronavirus Disease 2019 (the "COVID-19") transmission, for the period from 7 April 2020 to 4 May 2020 (the "Period"). Under the Order, all businesses, other than those providing essential goods and services, are to be closed during the Period. As the Company's group level corporate services and treasury functions in Singapore do not fall within the list of Essential Services 1 as prescribed under the Order, they will be closed during this Period. The Group's offices, for property projects and mining businesses in Malaysia, have also been closed from 18 March 2020 to 14 April 2020 due to the nationwide Movement Control Order (the "MCO") imposed by the Government of Malaysia to curb the spread of COVID-19. The Order and MCO are subjected to any further extension by the respective Governments.
