HATTEN LAND LIMITED

(Incorporated in the Republic of Singapore)

(Company Registration No. 199301388D)

APPROVAL IN RESPECT OF EXTENSION OF TIME APPLICATION TO THE SINGAPORE EXCHANGE SECURITIES TRADING LIMITED ("SGX-ST"):

  1. 60 DAYS EXTENSION TO ANNOUNCE THE COMPANY'S UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FULL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 ("FY 2021")
  1. 60 DAYS EXTENSION TO HOLD THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ("AGM") FOR THE
    FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

The Board of directors (the "Board" or the "Directors") of Hatten Land Limited (the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") refers to the Company's announcement dated 3 August 2021 ("the Previous Announcement"). Unless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms used and not defined herein shall have the same meanings given to them in the Previous Announcement.

The Company wishes to update its shareholders that it has on 25 August 2021 received a letter from SGX-ST informing the Company that it has no objection on the Company's application for extension of time to release the unaudited financial results for FY2021 by 28 October 2021 and to hold its AGM for FY2021 by 30 December 2021 (the "Waivers"), subject to the following conditions:

  1. the Company announcing the Waivers granted, the reasons for seeking the Waivers, the conditions as required under the Catalist Listing Rule 106 and if the Waiver conditions have been satisfied. If the Waiver conditions have not been met on the date of the announcement, the Company must make an update announcement when the conditions have all been met;
  2. submission of a written confirmation from the Company that it is not aware of any information that will have a material bearing on investors' decision which has yet to be announced by the Company; and
  3. the Company convening the AGM by 30 December 2021,

(collectively the "Waiver Conditions"). The Waivers will not be effective if any of the Waiver Conditions have not been fulfilled.

The Company will be providing the written confirmation required in the abovementioned Waiver Conditions to SGX-ST in due course.

In addition, the Company had on 2 August 2021 applied to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore ("ACRA") for an extension of time of 60 days to hold its AGM and lodged its annual return. As at the date of this announcement, the Company had obtained approval from ACRA to (i) hold its AGM for FY2021 by 30 December 2021; and (ii) to lodge its annual return for FY2021 by 29 January 2022.

Rationale for seeking the Extensions

The Company had applied for the Extensions due to the Movement Control Order ("MCO") implemented in Malaysia since May 2021, where the Group's operations are based, to curb the spread of COVID-19 infection in the country. The Group's employees have been unable to access the office premises since May 2021 and therefore the financial team faced difficulties in preparing the financial statements as well as providing financial information to the auditors for audit purposes.

Management is unable to ascertain when the MCO order will eventually be lifted but foresee that due to the disruption, the Company will face difficulties in finalising the financial statements in time to announce its financial results for FY2021 by 29 August 2021 and to hold its annual general meeting for FY2021 by 31 October 2021.
