By Order of the Board

Lee Quang Loong

Company Secretary

Singapore

12 August 2020

Explanatory Notes:

  1. Detailed information on Dr Leong Horn Kee and Mr Tan Hup Foi @ Tan Hup Hoi who are proposed to be re-elected as Directors of the Company can be found under sections "Board of Directors" and "Additional Information on Directors seeking re-election" in the Company's Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 March 2020.
  2. The proposed ordinary resolutions 4 and 5 are to seek approval from the shareholders via a Two-Tier Voting process for Mr Tan to continue in office as an independent non-executive director of the Company for a three-year term, with effect from the passing of these resolutions proposed at the forthcoming AGM, until the conclusion of the third annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of these resolutions.
    The Board seeks to strike an appropriate balance between tenure of service, continuity of experience and refreshment of the Board. Such refreshment process of the Board will take some time and cannot happen overnight in order to maintain stability to the Board. Furthermore, the Company benefits from such director who has, over time, gained valuable insights into the Group, its market and the industry.
    The Nomination Committee and the Board have determined that Mr Tan remains objective and independent-minded in Board deliberations. His vast experience enables him to provide the Board and the various Board Committees on which he serves, with pertinent experience and competence to facilitate sound decision-making and that his length of service does not in any way interfere with his exercise of independent judgment nor hinder his ability to act in the best interests of the Company. Additionally, he fulfils the definition of independent directors of the SGX-ST Listing Rules and the 2018 Code. More importantly, the Board trust that he is able to continue to discharge his duties independently with integrity and competency.
  3. The Non-Executive Directors voluntarily offered to accept a lower Directors' Fees for the year ending 31 March 2021, in solidarity with employees of the Group.
  4. The Ordinary Resolution 8 in item 9 above, if passed, will empower the Directors of the Company, effective until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company, or the date by which the next AGM of the Company is required by law to be held or such authority is varied or revoked by the Company in a general meeting, whichever is the earlier, to issue shares, make or grant instruments convertible into shares and to issue shares pursuant to such instruments, up to a number not exceeding, in total, 50% of the total number of issued shares (excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings) in the capital of the Company, of which up to 20% may be issued other than on a pro-rata basis to existing shareholders of the Company, save that issues of shares pursuant to a pro-rata renounceable rights issue shall not exceed one hundred per cent (100%) of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding Treasury

4

Shares and subsidiary holdings) provided that the pro-rata renounceable rights shares must be listed and issued no later than 31 December 2020.

For determining the aggregate number of shares that may be issued, the total number of issued shares will be calculated based on the total number of issued shares in the capital of the Company at the time this Ordinary Resolution is passed after adjusting for new shares arising from the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities or share options or vesting of share awards which are outstanding or subsisting at the time when this Ordinary Resolution is passed and any subsequent consolidation or subdivision of shares.
