Private Limited (the "Share Registrar"), as the case may be, as at 6.00 p.m. (Singapore time) on 20 July 2022, you have not accepted the Offer in respect of your Shares. Accordingly, the Offeror is writing to inform you that the Offeror wishes to exercise its right of compulsory acquisition under Section 215(1) of the Companies Act to acquire all your Shares (the "Acquired Shares") at a consideration of S$0.23 in cash for each

We enclose, for this purpose, a Notice to Dissenting Shareholder in the form prescribed under the Companies Act ("Form 57").

3. RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 215(3) OF THE COMPANIES ACT

  1. Non-AssentingShareholder. Under Section 215(3) of the Companies Act, you have the right to require the Offeror to acquire your Shares. In connection therewith, a Notice to Non-

4.1 Free Float Requirement. Rule 723 of the Listing Manual requires the Company to ensure that at least 10% of the Shares (excluding Shares held by the Company in treasury) is at all times held by the public (the "Free Float Requirement"). As announced by the Company on 9 July 2022, the percentage of Shares held by the public as at 6.00 p.m. (Singapore time) on 8 July 2022 is approximately 9.74% and is therefore less than the requisite 10% under the Free Float

    Application will be announced in due course.
  2. Timing of Suspension and Delisting.

The date on which the Company will be delisted from the SGX- ST will be announced in due course, following the completion of such compulsory acquisition.
