(Company Registration Number: 51 1332207) (Incorporated in Israel)
Daniel Benjamin Glinert (Executive Director and Chairman of the Board) 4 Haharash Street (Second Floor) Avraham Eshed (Non-Executive Director) Hod Hasharon 4524075 Uzi Levami (Non-Executive Director) Israel Varda Shine (Lead Independent Director) Neta Zruya Hashai (Independent Director) Lim Yong Sheng (Independent Director) Sin Boon Ann (Independent Director
Dear Shareholders,
At the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on 24 April 2023, the Shareholders approved, inter alia, the existing Share Purchase Mandate of the Company, pursuant to which the Directors have been conferred the authority to exercise all powers of the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire its issued Shares upon and subject to the terms of such mandate as set out in the circular to shareholders dated 31 March 2023 issued by the Company as well as the rules and regulations set forth in the Companies Act, the Israeli Companies Law and the Listing Manual.
As announced on 19 November 2023, the Company proposes to undertake the Equal Access Offer in accordance with the Share Purchase Mandate and the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Offer Letter.
Under the Equal Access Offer, the Company will purchase up to 4,000,000 of its own Shares (representing 1.15% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding 8,937,700 dormant shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date) from Shareholders at the Offer Price. All Shares purchased or acquired by the Company pursuant to the Equal Access Offer shall be cancelled or held by the Company as dormant shares, or partly cancelled and partly kept as dormant shares, as the Board shall deem fit in the best interests of the Company. Under Israeli Companies Law, the Company may at any time sell, transfer or re-issue such dormant shares as the Board shall deem fit.
The Company hereby makes the Equal Access Offer to Shareholders on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Letter and the FAA, on the following basis:
The Offer Price for each Share will be S\$0.34 in cash.
The Company will offer to purchase up to 4,000,000 Shares (the "Maximum Share Purchase Amount") representing approximately 1.15% of the total number of 347,874,635 Shares in issue (excluding 8,937,700 dormant shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date.
If the aggregate number of acceptances under the Equal Access Offer exceeds the Maximum Share Purchase Amount (being the maximum number of Shares the Company may purchase under the Equal Access Offer), the number of Excess Shares tendered by each Accepting Shareholder will be reduced proportionately to ensure the Company purchases no more than the Maximum Share Purchase Amount.
In scaling down the number of Excess Shares tendered by Shareholders, the Company will endeavour to round odd lots to the closest 100 Shares (a full board lot of the Shares) to reduce the number of Shareholders with odd lots to the extent possible.
The two possible scenarios at the close of the Equal Access Offer are set out below:
(A) Total number of Shares tendered is equal to or less than the Maximum Share Purchase Amount
If, at the close of the Equal Access Offer, the actual total number of Shares (based on the maximum number of Shares as indicated in the FAA) validly tendered by the Accepting Shareholders in acceptance of the Equal Access Offer (in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the FAA) is equal to or less than the Maximum Share Purchase Amount, the Company will purchase the Shares tendered by the Accepting Shareholders in the amounts indicated in their respective FAA.
(B) Total number of Shares tendered is more than the Maximum Share Purchase Amount
If, at the close of the Equal Access Offer, the actual total number of Shares (based on the maximum number of Shares as indicated in the FAA) validly tendered by the Accepting Shareholders in acceptance of the Equal Access Offer (in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the FAA) exceeds the Maximum Share Purchase Amount, the number of Excess Shares tendered by each Accepting Shareholder will be reduced proportionately to ensure the Company purchases no more than the Maximum Share Purchase Amount.
The Equal Access Offer will be open for acceptance by eligible Shareholders for a period of 23 calendar days from the date of this Offer Letter, or such other period as may be announced by the Company.
The Equal Access Offer will be open to all Shareholders as reflected in the Register of Members, or standing to the credit of the "Free Balance" of such Shareholder's Securities Account maintained with CDP, as the case may be, at 5:30 p.m. on the Record Date.
Participation in the Equal Access Offer is voluntary. An eligible Shareholder may elect not to participate in the Equal Access Offer.
The Shares which are acquired pursuant to the Equal Access Offer will be acquired fully paid and free from all claims, charges, equities, mortgages, liens, pledges, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and other third party rights and interests of any nature whatsoever, and together with all rights, benefits, entitlements and advantages attached thereto as at the date of the Announcement, including the right to receive and retain all dividends, rights and other distributions (if any) which may be declared, paid or made thereon, on or after the date of the Announcement. As such, the Offer Price may be adjusted to take into account dividends, rights and other distributions (if any) which may be declared, paid or made thereon, on or after the date of the Announcement. Any such adjustment will be notified to Shareholders via SGXNET announcement(s).
To enable Shareholders to better benefit from the Equal Access Offer, the Shareholders listed in the table below, the Directors of the Company who currently hold the Company's Shares and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will not be participating in the Equal Access Offer in respect of the Shares held by each of them (the "Non-Participating Shareholders"). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in which these Non-Participating Shareholders have an interest in, amounting to 41,836,640 Shares in aggregate, representing approximately 12.03%, of the total number of 347,874,635 Shares in issue (excluding 8,937,700 dormant shares), is set out below:
| Non-Participating Shareholder | No. of Shares (Direct / Deemed Interest) |
|---|---|
| Avraham Eshed | 15,126,922 |
| Daniel Benjamin Glinert | 12,734,156 |
| Uzi Lev Ami | 12,335,406 |
| Lim Yong Sheng | 225,000 |
| Varda Shine | 350,000 |
| David Block | 1,065,156 |
In view of the foregoing, the Shareholders other than the Non-Participating Shareholders (the "Participating Shareholders") will therefore be entitled to tender for an additional 481,054 Shares for acceptance under the Equal Access Offer. Accordingly, the Participating Shareholders will be entitled to accept the Equal Access Offer in respect of approximately 1.31% (the "Relevant Percentage") of their Shares as at the Record Date. The Relevant Percentage does not take into account the Excess Shares which Shareholders will also be able to tender for acceptance under the Equal Access Offer in the event other Shareholders do not accept their full entitlement under the Equal Access Offer.
Please refer to the FAA despatched together with this Offer Letter.
If you are a Depositor, you should receive a FAA with this Offer Letter.
Please read the Appendix to this Offer Letter for further details on the procedures for acceptance and other relevant information.
If you choose to accept the Equal Access Offer, you should complete, sign and return the FAA which is despatched together with this Offer Letter. Please follow the relevant provisions and instructions stated in this Offer Letter and the FAA.
If you choose not to accept the Equal Access Offer, you do not have to take any action.
The following examples illustrate the various alternatives and positions of a Shareholder who chooses to accept the Equal Access Offer.
If total number of Shares tendered under the Equal Access Offer ("Total Tendered Shares") by Accepting Shareholders is equal to or less than the Maximum Share Purchase Amount, the Company will purchase all of the Entitled Shares and the Excess Shares tendered.
The Company is not permitted to purchase more than the Maximum Share Purchase Amount under the Equal Access Offer. The Company is required to accept all of the Entitled Shares tendered under the Equal Access Offer and it may purchase the Excess Shares tendered up to the Maximum Share Purchase Amount. Where the Total Tendered Shares exceeds the Maximum Share Purchase Amount, the Company will scale down the number of the Excess Shares purchased proportionately.
In this scenario illustrated below, the Total Tendered Shares is 5,000,000 of which 3,000,000 are Entitled Shares. The Total Tendered Shares exceeds the Maximum Share Purchase Amount. Shareholder A holds 10,000 Shares as at the Record Date and tenders all his/her/its Shares. Shareholder A will be deemed to have tendered 131 Entitled Shares and 9,869 Excess Shares.
| Total Tendered Shares by all Shareholders | 5,000,000 |
|---|---|
| Total Entitled Shares tendered by all Shareholders | 3,000,000 |
| Total Excess Shares tendered by all Shareholders | 2,000,000 |
| Excess Shares available for purchase under the Equal Access Offer (being the Maximum Share Purchase Amount less the total number of Entitled Shares |
|
| tendered) | 1,000,000 |
| Total Shares tendered by Shareholder A | 10,000 |
| - Entitled Shares, being 1.31% of the Shares held by Shareholder A ("A") | 131 |
| - Excess Shares tendered by Shareholder A | 9,869 |
| Excess Allocation Ratio, based on the formula set out below: | 50.00% |
| Excess Allocation |
(Maximum Share Purchase Amount - Total Entitled Shares tendered) = |
|---|---|
| Ratio | Total Excess Shares tendered |
| (4,000,000 - 3,000,000) | |
| = 2,000,000 |
| Shareholder A's Excess Shares to be purchased by the Company (being 50.00% of | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 9,869) ("B") | 4,934 | ||
| Total number of Shares to be purchased by the Company from Shareholder A | |||
| (being A + B and after rounding) | 5,065 |
In the illustration above, the Excess Allocation Ratio is 50.00%. As such, Shareholder A's allocation of Excess Shares to be purchased by the Company will be 50.00% of the Excess Shares he/she tendered, being 4,934 Excess Shares. Together with his/her/its Entitled Shares, the number of Shares to be purchased by the Company from Shareholder A is 5,065 Shares, after rounding. The remaining Shares tendered by Shareholder A will be returned.
The Excess Shares tendered will be subject to the Company's procedures to minimise the number of odd lot shareholdings, and any fraction of a Share will be disregarded.
For the avoidance of doubt, a Shareholder may elect to tender up to 100% of his/her/its Shares. In determining the number of Excess Shares to be purchased from each Shareholder, the Company will scale down the acceptances of the Excess Shares based on the Excess Allocation Ratio.
All Shares purchased or acquired by the Company pursuant to the Equal Access Offer shall be cancelled or held by the Company as dormant shares, or partly cancelled and partly kept as dormant shares, as the Board shall deem fit in the best interests of the Company. Under Israeli Companies Law, the Company may at any time sell, transfer or re-issue such dormant shares as the Board shall deem fit.
The Directors believe that the Equal Access Offer will enhance Shareholders' value, as by reducing the total number of Shares in circulation, it will increase the earnings per Share of the Company. The Equal Access Offer will also provide Shareholders with an opportunity to realise at least a portion of their investments in the Shares at a premium over recent market prices of the Shares without incurring transaction costs.
The Offer Price represents a premium to the recent market prices of the Shares. Specifically, the Offer Price represents the following premia to the benchmark prices of the Shares set out below:
| Benchmark Price(1)(2) |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| the Benchmark Price(2) |
|||
| (i) | Last transacted price as quoted on the SGX-ST on 17 November 2023, being the latest date on which the shares were traded prior to the release of the Announcement |
S\$0.285 | 19.30% |
| (ii) | Volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") for the one-month period up to 17 November 2023 |
S\$0.291 | 16.99% |
| (iii) | VWAP for the three-month period up to 17 November 2023 | S\$0.324 | 4.96% |
| (iv) | VWAP for the six-month period up to 17 November 2023 | S\$0.364 | -6.68% |
| (v) | VWAP for the twelve-month period up to 17 November 2023 | S\$0.395 | -13.90% |
Notes:
(1) The figures are based on data extracted from Bloomberg L.P.
(2) The figures are rounded to the nearest two (2) decimal places.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had purchased or acquired an aggregate of 1,371,100 Shares under the Share Purchase Mandate by way of Market Purchases. The lowest and highest price paid was S\$0.265 and S\$0.37 per Share, respectively. The total consideration (including clearing charges etc.) paid was S\$419,410.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not purchased or acquired any Shares by way of Off-Market Purchases.
Assuming the Maximum Share Purchase Amount, the Company will commit S\$1,360,000 towards the purchase of the Shares under the Equal Access Offer. Pursuant to Israeli Companies Law, the Company will use Company profits (being its balance of surplus or surplus accumulated over the past two (2) years, whichever is greater) to finance the Equal Access Offer.
The Directors are of the view that the Equal Access Offer will not result in a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company and the Group, or result in the Company being delisted from the SGX-ST.
The availability of the Equal Access Offer to Overseas Shareholders may be affected by the laws of the relevant overseas jurisdictions.
Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the Equal Access Offer is made to all Shareholders, including those to whom this Offer Letter and the FAA have not been, or will not be, sent, provided that this Offer Letter does not constitute an offer or a solicitation to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful and the Equal Access Offer is not being made into any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance of the Equal Access Offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction. However, the Company may, in its sole discretion, take such action as it may deem necessary to extend the Equal Access Offer to Shareholders in any such jurisdiction.
It is the responsibility of Overseas Shareholders who wish to accept the Equal Access Offer to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction, including the obtaining of any governmental or other consent which may be required, or compliance with other necessary formalities or legal requirements and the payment of any taxes, imposts, duties or other requisite payments due in such jurisdiction. Such Overseas Shareholders shall be liable for any such taxes, imposts, duties or other requisite payments payable and the Company and any person acting on the Company's behalf shall be fully indemnified and held harmless by such Overseas Shareholders for any such taxes, imposts, duties or other requisite payments as the Company and/or any person acting on the Company's behalf may be required to pay. In accepting the Equal Access Offer, each Overseas Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company that he/she is in full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in that connection and that he/she is in full compliance with all necessary formalities or legal requirements.
If you are in doubt about your position, you should consult your professional adviser in the relevant jurisdiction.
Where there are potential restrictions on sending the Offer Letter and the FAA to any overseas jurisdictions, the Company reserves the right not to send the Offer Letter and the FAA to such overseas jurisdictions. Subject to compliance with applicable laws, any affected Overseas Shareholder may, nonetheless, attend in person and obtain copies of the Offer Letter and the FAA during normal business hours from the office of the Company's share registrar, M & C Services Private Limited at 112 Robinson Road, #05-01, Singapore 068902.
Alternatively, an affected Overseas Shareholder may, subject to compliance with applicable laws, write to the Company's share registrar at the above-stated address to request the Offer Letter and the FAA to be sent to an address in Singapore by ordinary post at his/her/its own risk, up to five (5) Market Days prior to the Closing Date.
Any enquiries relating to this Offer Letter or the Equal Access Offer should be directed during office hours to the Company's share registrar (by contacting M & C Services Private Limited at +65 6227 6660 or emailing them at [email protected] or CDP (by contacting CDP at +65 6535 7511 or emailing CDP at [email protected]).
The Company reserves the right to notify any matter, including the fact that the Equal Access Offer has been made, to any or all Shareholders (including Overseas Shareholders) by announcement on the SGXNET, in which case such notice shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given notwithstanding any failure by any Shareholder to receive or see such announcement.
Based on the interests of the Directors and the substantial shareholders of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any persons who would become obliged to make a mandatory general offer under the Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any facts or factors which suggest or imply that any particular person(s) and/or Shareholder(s) are, or may be regarded as, parties acting in concert such that their respective interests in voting shares in the capital of the Company should or ought to be consolidated, and consequences under the Code would ensue as a result of the Equal Access Offer.
The relevant Listing Rules require a listed company to ensure that at least 10% of its shares is at all times held by public shareholders. The "public" are persons other than the directors, chief executive officer, substantial shareholders or controlling shareholders of the Company and its subsidiaries, as well as associates of such persons.
Based on the information available to the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, approximately 67.55% of the issued share capital of the Company are held in the hands of the public. Assuming that the Company repurchased the Maximum Share Purchase Amount as at the Latest Practicable Date pursuant to the Equal Access Offer, the percentage of Shares held by the public would be approximately 67.17%.
There is therefore an adequate number of Shares in public hands for the Company to undertake the Equal Access Offer.
This Offer Letter and the FAA, all acceptances of the Equal Access Offer, all contracts made pursuant thereto and all actions taken or deemed to be taken or made in connection with any of the foregoing shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Singapore and all Accepting Shareholders agree by accepting the Equal Access Offer to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore.

A letter (the "Entitlement Notification Letter") will be despatched to Shareholders after the Record Date to notify them of, inter alia, (i) the number of Shares held by such Depositors in their Securities Account of which they are entitled to accept the Equal Access Offer and (ii) the number of Entitled Shares and Excess Shares tendered by such Depositors as at the Record Date.
If you have Shares standing to the credit of the "Free Balance" of your Securities Account, you should receive this Offer Letter together with the FAA. You will also receive the Entitlement Notification Letter (for your information only) after the Record Date, notifying you of the number of Shares held as at the Record Date including your Entitled Shares. If you are a Depositor whose Securities Account is or will be credited with Shares on the Record Date but you do not receive the FAA, you may obtain such FAA upon production of satisfactory evidence that you are a Shareholder from CDP by contacting CDP's Customer Service Hotline at +65 6535 7511 during their operating hours or emailing CDP at [email protected] for instructions on how to obtain a copy of such documents.
If you wish to accept the Equal Access Partial Offer, you should:
in each case so as to arrive not later than 5.30 p.m. (Singapore time) on the Closing Date. Proof of posting is not proof of receipt by the Company at the above addresses.
No acknowledgement will be given for submissions made. All communications, notices, documents and remittances to be delivered or sent to you will be sent by ordinary post at your risk to your address as it appears in the records of CDP. For reasons of confidentiality, CDP will not entertain telephone enquiries relating to the number of Shares credited to your Securities Account. You can verify such number in your Securities Account: (a) through CDP Online if you have registered for the CDP Internet Access Service; or (b) through the CDP Phone Service using SMS OTP, under the option "To check your securities balance".
Upon receipt by CDP, for and on behalf of the Company, of the duly completed and signed original of the FAA, CDP will take such measures as it may consider necessary or expedient to prevent any trading of the Shares in respect of which you have accepted the Equal Access Offer during the period commencing on the Date of Receipt and ending on the date of settlement of the consideration for the Entitled Shares (including, without limitation, earmarking, blocking, and/or transferring the relevant number of such Shares from the "Free Balance" of your Securities Account into a "Blocked Balance").
If you accepted the Equal Access Offer in accordance with the provisions contained in this Appendix and the FAA, CDP will send you a notification letter stating the number of Shares debited from your Securities Account together with payment of the Offer Price which will be credited directly into your designated bank account for Singapore Dollars via CDP's Direct Crediting Service ("DCS") on the payment date as soon as practicable.
In the event you are not subscribed to CDP's DCS, any monies to be paid shall be credited to your Cash Ledger and subject to the same terms and conditions as Cash Distributions under the CDP Operation of Securities Account with the Depository Terms and Conditions (Cash Ledger and Cash Distribution are as defined therein).
If you do not have any existing Securities Account in your own name at the time of acceptance of the Equal Access Offer, your acceptance as contained in the FAA will be rejected.
For the avoidance of doubt, FAAs received by CDP on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in Singapore will only be processed and validated on the next Business Day.
