2. NOTICE OF CHANGE IN ISIN CODE OF NEWCO ON SGX-ST

Based on the indicative timeline set out in Section 4 of this announcement, the NewCo Shares are expected to commence trading on the (a) SGX-ST on 5 September 2024 at 9.00 a.m.; and (b) ASX on 5 September 2024 at 8:00 a.m. initially on a deferred settlement basis and subsequently on a normal settlement basis on 11 September 2024 at 8:00 a.m..

With effect from 9.00 a.m. on 5 September 2024, please note that NewCo’s ISIN Code on the SGXST will change to AU0000012056 (being the ISIN Code of NewCo on the ASX).

For the avoidance of doubt, following the completion of the Change of Domicile through the Proposed Transactions, there is no change in the issuer name, security name, trading name, ticker code and CDP statement name of the NewCo which remain as follows on the SGX-ST:

On the SGX-ST
Issuer Name Civmec Limited
Security Name Civmec Limited
Trading Name Civmec
Ticker Code P9D
CDP Statement Name Civmec

2

On the ASX, there is also no change in the issuer name and ticker code of NewCo after the completion of the Change of Domicile through the Proposed Transactions which remain as follows:

On the ASX
Issuer Name Civmec Limited
Ticker Code CVL

3. UPDATES ON THE CHANGE OF NAMES OF THE COMPANY AND NEWCO

The Directors refer to the Circular in relation to, inter alia , the proposed change of name of the Company to “Civmec Singapore Limited” and the proposed change of name of the NewCo to “Civmec Limited” in connection with the Change of Domicile through the Proposed Transactions (the “ Proposed Change of Names ”).

Further to the EGM held on 1 August 2024 where, inter alia , the special resolutions relating to the Proposed Change of Names were duly passed, the Directors wish to announce that the Notice of Special Resolution for change of name of the Company from “Civmec Limited” to “Civmec Singapore Limited” has been lodged with the ACRA on 2 September 2024 and ACRA has issued the Notice of Change of Name to confirm that the Company had resolved to change its name to “Civmec Singapore Limited” with effect from 2 September 2024.

It is expected that arrangements will be made to post the relevant forms to effect NewCo’s name change with ASIC from “Civmec Australia Limited” to “Civmec Limited” as soon as possible. On an indicative basis, it is estimated that NewCo’s name change typically takes effect seven (7) business days from the date the relevant forms are posted to ASIC (noting that actual time may differ as the name change application will need to be submitted by post and then manually processed by ASIC). Further updates will be provided when NewCo’s name change has been effected.
