2.4 Minimum Acceptance Condition Satisfied

Based on the aforesaid, the Offeror has received valid acceptances of the MGO (which have not been withdrawn) in respect of such number of Offer Shares which, when taken together with the Shares owned, controlled, acquired or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror Concert Party Group before or during the MGO but otherwise than through acceptances of the MGO, will result in the Offeror Concert Party Group holding more than 50% of the maximum potential issued share capital of the Company as at the Unconditional Date.

Accordingly, the Minimum Acceptance Condition has been satisfied and the MGO has therefore become and is hereby declared unconditional in all respects on the Unconditional Date.

  1. CLOSING DATE

    Notwithstanding that the MGO has become and been declared unconditional in all respects on the Unconditional Date, as stated in the Offer Document, the Offeror will not extend the MGO beyond 5.30 p.m. (Singapore time) on the Closing Date and had given notice pursuant to Rule 22.6 of the Code that the MGO will not be open for acceptance beyond 5.30 p.m. (Singapore time) on the Closing Date, notwithstanding that the MGO may have become or been declared unconditional as to acceptances by then.
  2. PROCEDURES FOR ACCEPTANCE AND SETTLEMENT
  1. Shareholders who have accepted the MGO. Shareholders who have validly accepted the MGO on or prior to the Unconditional Date are not required to take any further action in relation to the MGO and can expect to receive payment within seven (7) Business Days after the Unconditional Date for the Offer Shares which they have tendered in acceptance of the MGO.
