The Agreement and the Supplementary Agreement have been signed by both parties. The completion of the Sale shall take place no later than 20 October 2025 (“ Completion Date ”) and the Supplementary Agreement will take effect on the Completion Date.

  • (c) The Purchaser is an independent third party and is not related to the Group or the Company’s Directors, controlling shareholders or their respective associates.

  • (d) The Board is of the view that the Sale and Leaseback would be beneficial to the Group for the following reasons:

  • (i) Aztech DG will be able to right size its manufacturing facility in China to service customers who wish to carry out manufacturing activities there.

  • (ii) Aztech DG will not need to bear the cost of maintaining the entire Property.

  • (iii) The risks related to the land use rights, which had been previously disclosed by the Group (latest announcement on the matter was made on SGXNet on 14 March 2025), will no longer be borne by the Group and the Group will not have to incur costs or allocate any further resources to rectify the title.

  • (iv) The Sale will enable the Group to deploy its capital more effectively towards the expansion of the Group’s business.

2) KEY TERMS OF THE SALE AND THE LEASEBACK

The key terms are as follows:

  • (a) The Sale Consideration and the Rental Fee were arrived at on an “as is” basis and after arm’s length negotiations on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis, having taken into account various factors including the location of the Property, recently transacted prices of similar properties in the vicinity of the Property and prevailing market conditions.

  • (b) As at the date on which the Agreement and the Supplementary Agreement were signed, the Purchaser had paid Aztech DG RMB 8 million of the Sale Consideration.

  • (d) In the event Aztech DG does not lease the Leaseback Space for the full term of 10 years and terminates the Supplementary Agreement before the end of the full term, the Purchaser shall return the Rental Fee to Aztech DG in accordance with the formula: Rental Fee × remaining period of Leaseback/10 × 80%. The remaining period of the Leaseback is 10 years less the length of Aztech DG’s continued lease of the Leaseback Space.

  • (e) The Sale and Leaseback are subject to the approval of the local authorities.

Accordingly, shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution in their dealings in the securities of the Company and to seek their own financial and legal advice when appropriate. The Company will provide further updates on the Sale and Leaseback as and when there are material developments thereon.
