  1. their relevant financial year-end and the indicative timeline to convene their AGM; and

The Company has today notified SGX RegCo by email of the abovementioned. The SGX RegCo News Release states that no response will be required from SGX RegCo.

The Board confirms that:

  1. the Company has fulfilled the Criteria as set out in the regulatory announcement issued by the SGX RegCo on 27 February 2020 being:

a. the Company's financial year-end is 31 December 2019;

b. the Company had on 25 March 2020 obtained approval from ACRA of a similar application for an extension of time to hold its AGM for FY2019 from the current due date of 30 April 2020 to 29 June 2020 and file its annual return by 30 July 2020;

c. the Waiver will not be in contravention of any laws and regulations governing the Company and its constitution; and

d. the Company will issue the Annual Report to its shareholders and the SGX-ST via SGXNet by 15 April 2020.
