Upon completion of the Disposal Period, the Company will ascertain the aggregate net sale proceeds in respect of the MOL Consideration Shares and MFL Consideration Shares disposed and average out the same. Thereafter, based on the conversion ratio of 1 MOL Consideration Share for every 2 Depository Shares and 94 MFL Consideration Shares for every 2,000 Depository Shares3, a specific net sale proceed before deducting the Relevant Withholding Tax will be attributable to each Depository Share. As at 6.00 p.m. (Singapore time) on 19 November 2021, the specific net sale proceed before deducting the Relevant Withholding Tax attributable to each Depository Share is S$1.54. The aforesaid specific net sale proceed before deducting the Relevant Withholding Tax attributable to each Depository Share is purely for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of or a projection of the actual specific net sale proceed before deducting the Relevant Withholding Tax attributable to each Depository Share after close of Disposal Period.

The Company will then pay such proceeds, after deducting the Relevant Withholding Tax applicable to the Depository Shares holders, based on the number of Depository Shares held. Please find below a summary of the Relevant Withholding Tax that would apply in the various scenarios whereby the Consideration Shares are disposed on the Indian Stock Exchanges. The following average net sale proceeds after deducting the Relevant Withholding Tax attributable to each Depository Share that would apply in the various scenarios are purely for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of or a projection of the actual average net sale proceeds after deducting the Relevant Withholding Tax attributable to each Depository Share that would apply in the various scenarios after close of Disposal Period. In all scenarios, if the average net sale proceeds after deducting the Relevant Withholding Tax attributable to each Depository Share is below the Guaranteed Amount of S$0.72 per Depository Share, the Company will top up the difference, such that the Depository Shares holder will receive the Guaranteed Amount:
