Explanatory Notes:

  • a. Ordinary Resolution 3 is to re-elect Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay who is retiring by rotation pursuant to Regulation 112 of the Constitution of the Company. Detailed information on Tan Sri Lim can be found under "Board of Directors" and "Corporate Governance" in the Annual Report 2021.

    Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay will, upon re-election as a director, continue to serve as Executive Chairman of the Company. Tan Sri Lim is considered a non-independent executive director.

  • b. Ordinary Resolution 4 is to re-elect Ms Chan Swee Liang Carolina who is retiring by rotation pursuant to Regulation 112 of the Constitution of the Company. Detailed information on Ms Chan can be found under "Board of Directors" and "Corporate Governance" in the Annual Report 2021.

    Ms Chan Swee Liang Carolina will, upon re-election as a director, continue to serve as Lead Independent Director, Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Nominating Committee. Ms Chan is considered an independent non-executive director.

  • c. Ordinary Resolution 5, if passed, will facilitate the payment of Directors' fees during the financial year in which the fees are incurred, that is during the financial year ending 31 December 2022.

    The Directors' fees are computed based on the anticipated number of Directors, as well as Board and Board Committee meetings, for the financial year ending 31 December 2022, assuming full attendance by all the Directors. In the event that the amount proposed is insufficient, approval will be sought at the next AGM before payments are made to the Directors for the shortfall.

  • d. Ordinary Resolution 7, if passed, will renew the mandate to allow the Company, its subsidiaries and associated companies that are entities at risk (as the term is used in Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules of the SGX-ST) or any of them to enter into certain interested person transactions with certain classes of interested persons as described in the Appendix to the Letter. Please refer to the Appendix to the Letter for more information.

  • e. Ordinary Resolution 8, if passed, will entitle the Directors to effect the purchase or acquisition of Shares via market purchase(s) or off-market purchase(s), after taking into account the amount of surplus cash available, the prevailing market conditions and the most cost-effective and efficient approach. The Company may use internal or external sources of funds to finance the purchase or acquisition of its Shares. The amount of financing required for the Company to purchase or acquire its Shares, and the impact on the Company's financial position, cannot be ascertained as at the date of this Notice as these will depend on the number of Shares purchased or acquired, the price at which such Shares were purchased or acquired and whether the Shares purchased or acquired are held in treasury or cancelled.

    The financial effects of the purchase or acquisition of such Shares by the Company pursuant to the proposed Share Buy-Back Mandate on the audited financial statements of the Company and the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year ended 31 December 2021, based on certain assumptions, are set out in paragraph 3.6 of the Letter.
