REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The Group is principally engaged as a main contractor in the provision of building and construction works, and properties investment, including the leasing of industrial properties in Singapore. The Group is also specialized in reinforcement concrete works which it has undertaken on a selected basis in the subcontractor projects.

During 2020 to 2022, the construction sector of Singapore in general has been continually disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the construction sector has gradually rebounded since 2023, the market environment remains challenging due to the rising operating costs, notably by the significant increases in material and labour costs. Contrastingly, the property prices in Singapore have been rising throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and continues to demonstrate positive growth during the post-pandemic period. With the rising operating costs and increasing competitive construction sector in sight, the Company is of the view that the Transactions,

-8-

involving the acquisition and subsequent development of the Property, will enable the Company to strategically utilise the existing resources of the Group, venture into the property development business, diversifying the Group’s revenue streams and capturing new opportunities in the booming Singapore’s industrial property market as elaborated below.

According to the “Q2 2023 Singapore Industrial Market Report” (the “ Colliers Report ”), a market research report published by Colliers, both the JTC All Industrial Price Index and JTC All Industrial Rental Index, being the major indices measuring the prices and rental of industrial properties in Singapore, have grown for the eleventh consecutive quarter as at the second quarter of 2023, indicating the booming industrial property market in Singapore, which is primarily attributable to the lagging supply of industrial property caused by the construction delays during the Covid-19 pandemic and other policy factors. As disclosed in the Colliers Report, despite expectations that both rental and price growth may slow down in the upcoming quarters, the demand for higher specification industrial assets will continue to rise, including demand from industries of advanced manufacturing, logistics, biomedical and food sectors. Furthermore, as reported by The Business Times, a Singaporean financial newspaper, industrial properties have provided the highest net yields in Singapore commercial real estate as compared with the net yields of properties with office or retail use during the period between the second quarter of 2020 up to the second quarter of 2023.

Taking into account the above favourable factors, the Company considers that the Singapore’s industrial property market has demonstrated steady growth and great potential and the Transactions will allow the Group to gain a foothold in industrial property development at a prime location in Singapore. Particularly, the Property is conveniently located at close proximity to the Tai Seng MRT Station in Singapore, its “Business 1 – White” zoning which permits a mixed development of industrial and commercial uses is also of scarce supply in Singapore, providing the Target Company in flexibility in its redevelopment plannings as well as enhancing the value of the Property. Based on the preliminary redevelopment plans of the Property, the Target Company intends to redevelop the Property into a modern food processing facility, and stemming by the increasing demand in high-end industrial facilities from various sectors, including the food sector, the Company is optimistic that the acquisition and development of the Property via the Transactions will allow the Company to capture the opportunities of the industrial property market, creating long term benefits to the Group.

The Company also considered that acquisition and redevelopment of the Property via the Transactions align with the Group’s existing businesses and leverages on the Group’s present strengths and expertise. For instance, (i) the Group has been involved in small scale industrial property development by virtue of the construction of the Group’s headquarter complex in Singapore, of which part of the building was leased out mainly as shops, warehouses and offices, albeit classified as investment properties of the Group under the appropriate accounting reporting standards; and (ii) the Group has been a long-time player in the Singapore’s construction sector, with experience in the construction of various types of properties, including industrial properties, enabling the Group to accumulate technical know-hows, put in place key management team with both technical and business development expertise, and establish business relationships and networks with various construction materials suppliers and market players, all of which are essential and transferable to industrial property development, the Company is therefore confident that it has the capabilities to scale and expand the Group’s businesses into property development. The Company further considered that the structure of the Transactions is favourable to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Specifically, large properties or land for development in Singapore are typically sold by way of tender. Although the Group has long intended to expand

-9-

its current businesses to property development, due to restrictions under the Listing Rules, a meaningful expansion of the Group’s businesses into property development by submission of tender was not feasible, as the Company is compelled to disclose key terms of potential tenders and is also subject to Shareholders’ approval requirements, and hence, significantly limiting the Group’s chance of success as the submission of tender will inevitably be delayed pending Shareholders’ approval and other competing tenderers can also outbid the Company based on the information disclosed by the Company. The present Transactions structure is a rare property development opportunity, of which the tendering process have already been completed, and allows the Company to take a major stake in the development of the Property by joining other market players in forming a consortium at a reasonable price, at the same time fulfilling the compliance requirements under the Listing Rules regulatory framework.

In view of the aforesaid, the Directors consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the Acquisition and BHCC Capital Commitment are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Transactions exceeds 100%, the Transactions will constitute a very substantial acquisition of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Transactions are subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

GENERAL

The EGM will be convened at which ordinary resolution(s) will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, to approve, among others, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Transactions and as such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the EGM.

None of the Directors is materially interested in the Transactions and accordingly, none of the Directors has abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolution(s) at the Board meeting approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

A circular containing, among other things, (i) further details of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) financial information of the Target Company; (iii) unaudited pro-forma financial information of the Enlarged Group; (iv) details of the Valuation Report; and (v) notice of the EGM, is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before [29 February] 2024 in order to allow sufficient time for the Company to prepare the information required to be included in the circular.

Shareholders and potential investors should note that Completion is subject to the conditions set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and therefore the Transactions may or may not proceed.
