The Company will withdraw the Bifurcated Tranche after receipt of payment under the first instalment mentioned under (i) above.

In the event that there is any default on any of the abovementioned instalment payment(s), the entire balance of the Settlement Sum shall become immediately due and payable to the Company.

The above settlement is without prejudice to the Company's rights and claims against Fan Kow Hin who remains jointly and severally liable for the loss of the Company's Australian business, as well as the outstanding costs of S$39,000 in Suit No 441 of 2016. Given that Fan Kow Hin is a bankrupt, the Company will pursue the claims against his estate through the bankruptcy regime.

Upon full and final payment of the Settlement Sum, there will be no other pending or outstanding claims between the Company and the Crest Entities.

The Company will provide further updates on the status of the above matters through SGXNet as and when there are material developments, in accordance with the requirements under the applicable Catalist Rules.
