uPdate on the seCuRed Loan aRRanGement

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 11 March 2014 in relation to the letter received from the Lender in connection with his declaration of the Loans (the “ announcement ”). Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used herein shall bear the same meanings as defined in the Announcement.

Keen Wood has further received a letter dated 14 March 2014 from the law firm acting for the Lender, which has stated that the Lender had declared all of the security created under the Share Charges enforceable forthwith. The Company would like to inform its shareholders that in the event that the Lender had enforced and executed his rights under Share Charges, the Group might lose its control/interests over its subsidiaries holding the economic land concessions for three forests in Cambodia and result in a possible very substantial disposal of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules.

The Company is seeking legal advice in respect of the letters received on 10 and 14 March 2014, respectively, and is also in the course of considering possible alternatives in case that the Lender had exercised his right under the Share Charges. The Company will make further announcement(s) to keep its shareholders and investors posted for any material development in this regard as and when appropriate in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules.

As a result of the letters, there may be an impact on the expected timetable for the publication of financial results of the Group as announced on 3 March 2014.
