(the “ Company ”) and Mr. Aw Cheok Huat (the “ Offeror ”), on 19 April 2025, the Offeror has presented to the directors of the Company (the “ Directors ”) a formal proposal (the “ Delisting Proposal ”) to seek the voluntary delisting of the Company (the “ Delisting ”) from the Official List of the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “ SGX-ST ”) pursuant to Rules 1307 and 1308 of the SGX-ST Listing Manual Section B: Rules of Catalist (the “ Catalist Rules ”).

Under the Delisting Proposal, the Offeror will make an exit offer (the “ Exit Offer ”) in cash, at SGD$0.009 per Offer Share (as defined below), to acquire all the issued and paid-up ordinary shares (the “ Shares ”) in the capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) other than those already owned, controlled or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with him (collectively, the “ Offeror Concert Party Group ”) as at the date of the Exit Offer (the “ Offer Shares ”).

The Directors have reviewed the Delisting Proposal and have resolved (a) to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company (the “ EGM ”) to seek the approval of the shareholders of the Company (the “ Shareholders ”) for the Delisting (other than the Offeror Concert Party Group who will abstain from voting) pursuant to Catalist Rules 1307 and 1308 and (b) to apply to the SGX-ST for the Delisting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no competing offer has been received by the Company.

8. RATIONALE FOR DELISTING AND EXIT OFFER

  • 8.1 Rationale for Company . The rationale for the Delisting and Exit Offer in relation to the Company is set out in Paragraph 6 of the Exit Offer Letter, extracts of which are set out below.

6 RATIONALE FOR THE DELISTING AND THE EXIT OFFER

6.1 Opportunity for Shareholders to realise their investments amidst low trading liquidity of the Shares

The trading volume of the Shares on the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST has been low, with an average daily trading volume of the Shares for the one-month, three-month, six-month, and twelve-month periods prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day as follows:

Period prior to and including Average Daily Approximate
the Last Undisturbed Trading Day Trading percentage of total
Volume(1) number of issued
Shares(2)
(%)
Last one month 407,224 0.01
Last three months 643,097 0.02
Last six months 526,008 0.02
Last twelve months 456,219 0.01

Source: Bloomberg L.P.

Notes:

  • (1) The average daily trading volume is computed based on the total trading volume of the Shares for all Market Days for the relevant periods prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day, divided by the total number of Market Days during the respective periods.

  • (2) Percentage figures are computed based on the total number of issued Shares as at the Joint Announcement Date and rounded to the nearest two (2) decimal places.

In view of the low trading volume during the periods prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day, the Offeror believes that the Exit Offer represents an opportunity for Shareholders to realise their investments in the Shares at a premium (without incurring any brokerage and other trading costs) which may not otherwise be readily available given the low trading liquidity of the Shares.

6.2 Opportunity for Shareholders to realise their investments in the Shares at a premium over historical Share prices without incurring brokerage costs

Against the backdrop of a challenging macro and operating environment as a result of, inter alia, intensifying inflationary pressures, the Offeror believes that, through the Delisting Proposal and Exit Offer, Shareholders who accept the Exit

23

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Offer will have an opportunity to realise their investments in the Company for a cash consideration at a premium over the historical transacted prices of the Shares on the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST. Furthermore, Shareholders would be able to realise their investments without incurring any brokerage and other trading costs.

The Exit Offer Price represents a premium over the historical transacted prices of the Shares on the SGX-ST on the Last Undisturbed Trading Day and the VWAP of the Shares over the 1M VWAP, 3M VWAP, 6M VWAP and 12M VWAP per Share, as set out in Paragraph 5 of the Letter to Shareholders in this Exit Offer Letter.

6.3 Greater management flexibility

The Offeror believes that delisting the Company will give the Offeror and the management of the Company more flexibility and control to manage the business of the Company, optimise the use of its management and capital resources and facilitate the implementation of any operational change without the attendant costs, regulatory restrictions and compliance issues associated with its listed status on the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST.

6.4 Compliance costs of maintaining listing

In maintaining its listed status, the Company incurs compliance and associated costs relating to continuing listing requirements under the Catalist Rules. In the event that the Company is delisted from the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST, the Company will be able to save on expenses relating to the maintenance of a listed status and focus its resources on its business operations.

9. OFFEROR’S INTENTIONS FOR COMPANY

The Offeror’s intentions for the Company are set out in Paragraphs 7.1 and 7.2 of the Exit Offer Letter, extracts of which are set out below.

7.1 Delisting Resolution

The Offeror does not intend to maintain or support any action taken or to be taken to maintain the present listing status of the Company and there is no plan in the foreseeable future for the Shares to be re-listed on any securities exchange.

Shareholders should note that in the event the Shareholders’ Delisting Approval is obtained at the EGM, the Company will, subject to the SGX-ST Approval being obtained for the Delisting, be delisted from the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST on or after the close of the Exit Offer. In the event the Shareholders’ Delisting Approval is not obtained at the EGM, the Exit Offer will lapse and the Company will remain listed on the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST.

If the Company is delisted from the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST, the Company (as a Singapore-incorporated company) will remain subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and (in the event that it becomes a public unlisted company pursuant to the Exit Offer) may be subject to

24

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

provisions of the Code, but will no longer be subject to the provisions of the Catalist Rules. Shareholders at such time may wish to seek their own independent legal advice to familiarise themselves with their rights, inter alia, as a shareholder of an unlisted Singapore-incorporated company under the Companies Act.

7.2 Offeror’s Intentions

Following the close of the Exit Offer, the Offeror presently has no intention to introduce any major changes to the business of the Company, or to discontinue the employment of any of the existing employees of the Company or re-deploy any of the fixed assets of the Company, other than in the ordinary course of business. Please refer to Paragraphs 7.1 and 7.3 of this Exit Offer Letter for the Offeror’s intentions as regards the delisting of the Company and the exercise of his right of compulsory acquisition under Section 215(1) of the Companies Act (if or when entitled). The Offeror however retains the flexibility at any time to consider options or opportunities which may present themselves.

10. IMPLICATIONS OF DELISTING AND COMPULSORY ACQUISITION

10.1 Compulsory Acquisition and Listing Status

Information relating to the compulsory acquisition of Shares by the Offeror and the listing status of the Company has been extracted from Paragraphs 7.3 and 7.4 of the Exit Offer Letter and is set out below. Shareholders are advised to seek their own independent legal advice in relation to the compulsory acquisition provisions under the Companies Act.

7.3 Compulsory Acquisition

Pursuant to Section 215(1) of the Companies Act, in the event that the Offeror receives valid acceptances pursuant to the Exit Offer (or otherwise acquires Shares during the period when the Exit Offer is open for acceptance) in respect of not less than 90% of the total number of issued Shares (other than those already held by the Offeror or his nominees or any person or body corporate falling within the scope of Section 215(9A) of the Companies Act as at the date of the Exit Offer and excluding any Shares held by the Company as treasury shares), the Offeror would be entitled to exercise the right to compulsorily acquire all the Shares of the Offer Shareholders who have not accepted the Exit Offer (“ Dissenting Shareholders ”) at a price equal to the Exit Offer Price.

The Offeror is making the Delisting Proposal and Exit Offer with a view to delisting the Company. Accordingly, when entitled, the Offeror intends to exercise his right of compulsory acquisition under Section 215(1) of the Companies Act.

In addition, Dissenting Shareholders have the right under and subject to Section 215(3) of the Companies Act, to require the Offeror to acquire their Shares at a price equal to the Exit Offer Price in the event that the Offeror or his nominees acquire, pursuant to the Exit Offer, such number of Shares which, together with the Shares held by the Offeror or his nominees or any person or body corporate falling within the scope of Section 215(9A) of the Companies Act, comprise 90% or more of the total number of issued Shares. Shareholders who wish to exercise such a right are advised to seek their own independent legal advice.

25

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

7.4 Listing Status

As stated above, the Delisting is also conditional upon the SGX-ST Approval. The Company will, through its Sponsor, submit an application in respect of the Delisting to the SGX-ST in due course.

Shareholders should note that if Shareholders’ Delisting Approval is obtained in respect of the Delisting Resolution at the EGM, but for whatever reason, the SGX-ST Approval is not obtained, the Company will remain listed on the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST and the following provisions in the Catalist Rules would remain relevant.

Pursuant to Catalist Rule 1104, upon an announcement by the Offeror that acceptances have been received pursuant to the Exit Offer that bring the holdings owned by the Offeror and his Concert Parties to above 90% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Shares held in treasury), the SGX-ST may suspend the trading of the Shares on the SGX-ST until it is satisfied that at least 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Shares held in treasury) are held by at least 200 Shareholders who are members of the public. Catalist Rule 1303(1) provides that if the Offeror succeeds in garnering acceptances exceeding 90% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Shares held in treasury), thus causing the percentage of the total number of Shares (excluding Shares held in treasury) held in public hands to fall below 10%, the SGX-ST will suspend trading of the Shares only at the close of the Exit Offer.

In addition, pursuant to Catalist Rule 724(1) and Catalist Rule 1303(1), if the percentage of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Shares held in treasury) held in public hands falls below 10%, the Company must, as soon as practicable, notify its Sponsor of that fact and announce that fact and the SGX-ST may suspend the trading of all the Shares. Catalist Rule 724(2) states that the SGX-ST may allow the Company a period of three (3) months, or such longer period as the SGX-ST may agree, to raise the percentage of Shares (excluding Shares held in treasury) in public hands to at least 10%, failing which the Company may be delisted from the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST.

The Offeror intends to privatise the Company and does not intend to preserve the listing status of the Company. In the event that the trading of the Shares on the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST is suspended pursuant to Catalist Rule 724, Catalist Rule 1104 and/or Catalist Rule 1303(1), the Offeror has no intention to undertake or support any action for any such trading suspension by the SGX-ST to be lifted.

10.2 Implications of Delisting for Shareholders

If the Shareholders’ Delisting Approval is obtained at the EGM, subject to the SGX-ST Approval, the Company will be Delisted on or after the close of the Exit Offer. This would apply whether or not the relevant Shareholder attended or voted at the EGM, and if he/she/it has attended and voted, whether or not he/she/it voted in favour of the Delisting Resolution.

After the Company is Delisted, Dissenting Shareholders will hold Shares in the Company as an unlisted company.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Shares of unlisted companies may be valued at a discount to the shares of comparable listed companies due to the lack of liquidity and marketability. Following the Delisting, it may be difficult for Dissenting Shareholders to sell their Shares in the absence of a public market for the Shares. Even if they could sell their Shares, they may receive a lower price compared to the market prices of the shares of comparable listed companies or the Exit Offer Price. Further, any transfer or sale of Shares represented by share certificates will be subject to stamp duty.

Under the Code, except with the SIC’s consent, no member of the Offeror Concert Party Group may, within six months of the close of the Exit Offer, make a second offer to, or acquire any Shares from, any Shareholder on terms better than those of the Exit Offer.

If the Company is Delisted, the Company (as a Singapore-incorporated company):

  • (a) will remain subject to the Companies Act; and

  • (b) will remain subject to the Code, provided that the Company has more than 50 Shareholders and has an NTA of SGD5 million or more; but

  • (c) will no longer be subject to the Catalist Rules.

Shareholders at such time may wish to seek independent legal advice as to his/her/its rights as a shareholder of an unlisted Singapore-incorporated company under the Companies Act.

If the Company is Delisted, each Shareholder who holds Shares that are deposited with CDP and does not accept the Exit Offer will be entitled to one share certificate representing his/her/its delisted Shares. The Registrar will arrange to forward the share certificates to such Shareholders who are not CPFIS Investors or SRS Investors, by ordinary post and at the Shareholder’s own risk, to their respective addresses per the records of CDP, for their physical safekeeping. The share certificates belonging to CPFIS Investors and SRS Investors will be forwarded to their respective CPFIS Agent Banks or SRS Agent Banks for their safekeeping.

Shareholders who are in doubt of their position should seek independent legal advice.

(b) the highest closing price of the Shares for the period after the Holding Announcement Date up to the Latest Practicable Date was equal to or did not exceed the Exit Offer Price, implying that the market prices of the Shares have been supported by the Exit Offer.

Under Catalist Rule 1307, the SGX-ST may agree to an application by the Company to delist from the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST, if (1) the Company convenes an extraordinary general meeting (the “ EGM ”) to obtain share approval for the Delisting; and (2) the resolution for the Delisting (the “ Delisting Resolution ”) has been approved by a majority of at least 75% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) held by the Shareholders present and voting, on a poll, either in person or by proxy at the EGM.

3.4 CONDITIONS TO THE EXIT OFFER

The Exit Offer and Delisting are conditional upon the Company having obtained the Shareholders’ approval for the Delisting Resolution. In the event that Shareholders’ approval is not obtained for the Delisting Resolution at the EGM, the Exit Offer will lapse and the Company will remain listed on the Official List of the SGX-ST and all acceptances of the Exit Offer will be returned.

The Delisting will also be conditional upon the SGX-ST agreeing to the application by the Company to delist from the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST.

3.5 RATIONALE FOR THE DELISTING AND THE EXIT OFFER

The Company’s rationale for the Delisting and the Exit Offer is set out in paragraph 6 of the Exit Offer Letter. We summarise as follows:

  • (a) the Company believe that the Exit Offer represents an opportunity for Shareholders to realise their investments amidst low trading liquidity of the Shares;

  • (b) the Exit Offer represents an opportunity for Shareholders to realise their investment in the Shares at a premium over the historical Share prices without incurring brokerage costs and other trading costs, against the backdrop of a challenging macro and operating environment with intensifying inflationary pressure;

  • (c) the Delisting will give the Company more flexibility and control to manage the business of the Company, optimise the use of its management and capital resources and facilitate the implementation of any operational change without the attendant costs, regulatory restrictions and compliance issues associated with its listed status on the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST; and

  • (d) the Company will be able to save on expenses and costs relating to the maintenance of its listed status on the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST and channel such resources to its business operations.

3.6 THE OFFEROR’S INTENTION

The Offeror’s intention for the Company is set out in paragraph 7.1 and 7.2 of the Exit Offer Letter. We extract in italic as follows:

“The Offeror does not intend to maintain or support any action taken or to be taken to maintain the present listing status of the Company and there is no plan in the foreseeable future for the Shares to be re-listed on any securities exchange.

Following the close of the Exit Offer, the Offeror presently has no intention to introduce any major changes to the business of the Company, or to discontinue the employment of any of the existing employees of the Company or re-deploy any of the fixed assets of the Company, other than in the ordinary course of business. The Offeror however retains the flexibility at any time to consider options or opportunities which may present themselves."

In our evaluation of the terms of the Exit Offer, we have taken into account the following factors:

These factors are discussed in greater detail in the ensuing paragraphs.

6.1 THE NET ASSET VALUE (“NAV”)

A summary of the latest audited financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2024 and the unaudited financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024, is set out below:

The current assets of the Group as at 31 December 2024 included mainly cash and cash equivalents of S$9.3 million, trade and other receivables of S$1.6 million and inventories of S$5,000. The non-current assets of the Group as at 31 December 2024 included mainly property, plant and equipment of S$28.5 million, associates and joint ventures of S$4.7 million and intangible assets of S$1.5 million.

The current liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2024 included mainly trade and other payables of S$1.9 million while the non-current liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2024 included mainly loans and borrowings of S$14.2 million.

We note that the Group has negative working capital as at 30 June 2024 due to the reclassification of a secured bank loan held by one of the subsidiaries of the Group of S$14.7 million to current liabilities. The reclassification was due to the breaching of a bank financial covenant requirement which requires the maintenance of a loan-to-value ratio of the subsidiary not exceeding 50%. Subsequently, the Group obtained a waiver letter on 27 September 2024 granting the indulgence for non-compliance and the bank loan of S$14.7 million was reclassified back to non-current liabilities, with maturity in 2031.

6.1.1 NAV per Share

After excluding non-controlling interest, the NAV of the Group attributable to Shareholders was S$26,995,000 as at 31 December 2024. Based on the issued share capital of 3,342,086,706 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, the NAV per Share as at 31 December 2024 was 0.81 Singapore cents. The Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 11.4% to the NAV per Share, or a price to NAV (“ P/NAV ”) ratio of 1.1 times.

We compare the P/NAV ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price against the trailing P/NAV ratio of the Shares for the Reference Period as follows:

We note that during the Reference Period, the P/NAV ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price is generally higher than the trailing P/NAV ratio of the Shares for the period including and after 6 July 2023, except on 4 July 2024 when the trailing P/NAV ratio was slightly higher at 1.2 times.

6.1.2 Revalued NAV (“RNAV”) per Share

In our evaluation of the NAV of the Group, we have considered whether there are any assets which may be valued at an amount that is materially different from that which was recorded in the latest announced balance sheet of the Group and whether there are any events in announcements made by the Company after the publication of the latest financial results that are likely to impact the NAV per Share.

We set out in the table below the assets which accounted for more than 5% of the NAV of the Group as at 31 December 2024:

Non-current assets – Property, plant and equipment
Current assets – Cash and cash equivalents
Non-current assets – Associates and joint venture
Current assets – Trade and other receivables
Non-current assets – Intangible assets

We review each of the material assets as follows:

(a) Non-current assets – Property, plant and equipment

The Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2024 comprised freehold land, hotel property, renovations, plant and machinery, computer equipment and furniture and fittings. The Group’s property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including capitalised borrowing costs less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. We note that during FY2022, FY2023, FY2024 and the trailing LTM ending 31 December 2024 (“ LTM31Dec2024 ”) (collectively, the “ Review Period ”), an impairment loss of S$1.76 million was recognised for the hotel property in FY2024 due to lower forecasted average daily rate amidst the market conditions then.

The Group’s property, plant and equipment mainly consist of its only owned hotel property, Travelodge Chinatown, which comprise the freehold land, building, renovation and plant and machinery at No. 7, Jalan Hang Kasturi, City Centre, 50050 Kuala Lumpur (the “ Subject Property ”). The Group has commissioned Knight Frank Malaysia Sdn Bhd to provide the market value, defined as the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each

acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion (“ Market Value ”), of the Subject Property as at 7 April 2025.

The valuer adopted the income approach by discounted cash flow method supported by the comparison approach to determine the Market Value of the Subject Property of S$28,206,400. Based on the carrying value at entity level of the Subject Property as at 31 December 2024 of S$29,113,205, we calculate the revaluation deficit on the Subject Property to be approximately S$906,805 had the Group disposed the Subject Property at the market value on the Latest Practicable Date.

(b) Current assets – Cash and cash equivalents

As at 31 December 2024, the Group had cash and cash equivalents totalling S$9.3 million, representing 33.5% of the Group’s NAV and 20.1% of the Group’s total assets.

(c) Non-current assets – Associates and joint venture

The investment in associates relates to the Company’s 5% interest in the equity of TLK 2 Limited (“ TLK 2 ”), which is involved in provision of tourist accommodation and 5% interest in the equity of Murray Investments Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“ Murray ”), which is involved in investment holding. The Group has deemed TLK 2 and Murray to be associates due to the ability to exercise 25% and 33.3% voting power, respectively, through the respective board of directors of each company. The Company did not make any impairment loss on its investment in associates during the Review Period.

The investment in joint venture relates to the Company’s 20% interest in the equity of Travelodge (Thailand) Co., Ltd., which is involved in management and operation of hotels. The Group has deemed Travelodge (Thailand) Co., Ltd. as a joint venture due to the Group’s ability to exercise joint control through the board of directors of the company. The Company did not make any impairment loss on its investment in joint ventures during the Review Period.

We noted the share of results of the associates and joint venture from FY2022 to FY2024 ranged from a loss of S$108,000 to a profit of S$2,000. For the six months ended 31 December 2024 (“ 1H2025 ”), the Group recorded a share of results of associates and joint venture of S$226,000.

  • (d) Current assets – Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables and other receivables comprised trade receivables net of loss allowance, non-trade amounts due from subsidiaries, deposits, other receivables and prepayments.

We calculated the average turnover days of the trade receivables for the Review Period to be as follows:

FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 1H2025
Average trade receivables’ turnover (days) 84 56 44 28

The average trade receivables’ turnover days improved from 84 days to 28 days from FY 2022 to 1H2025 as compared to the Group’s credit period of 30 to 90 days.

(e) Non-current assets – Intangible assets

The intangible assets of the Group relate to trademark rights to the hotel brand name “Travelodge” in 22 countries within the Asia Pacific region, excluding Australia and New Zealand for services relating to the management of hotels and serviced apartments, operation of hotels and serviced apartments and associated sales, marketing, reservations and booking services and the provision of conference rooms (the “ Trademark ”). The Trademark was acquired in 2014 for a consideration of A$3.0 million and the carrying amount of the trademark rights is assessed for impairment annually.

We note that during the Review Period, write-down on intangible assets of S$3.0 million and S$1.5 million were made during 1H2025 and FY2024, respectively. The write-down of intangible assets were mainly due to the uncertainty regarding the realisation of future economic benefits associated with these assets. We have clarified with the Company that the write-down of Trademark pertains to locations where the Company holds rights to the Trademark but at this time, either has no intentions to, or will most likely not operate in the near future. As at 31 December 2024, the carrying value of intangible assets is S$1.5 million.

The Group has commissioned Colliers International Consultancy & Valuation (Singapore) Pte Ltd to provide the Market Value of the Trademark as at 30 April 2025.

The valuer adopted the income approach with the excess earnings method using direct capitalization to determine the market value of the Trademark. The excess earnings method estimates the value of an intangible assets as the value of the cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset after excluding the proportion of the cash flows that are attributable to other assets required to generate the cash flows and the direct capitalization method has been adopted due to there being no significant pipeline projected after 2025 with the brand entering a phase whereby some existing shorter-term contracts are coming to an end.

We summarise the market value of the Trademark at various license fee percentages relative to total hotel revenue, as shown in the Valuation Certificates for the Trademark, below:

S$’000 0.5% license fee 1.0% license fee
Market value of Trademark 848 2,800

Based on the above, we compute the Group’s RNAV as follows:

S$’000 Lower range Upper range
Unaudited NAV attributable to Shareholders as 31
December 2024
(Less): Revaluation deficit arising from the revaluation of the
Subject Property set out in paragraph (i) above

revaluation of the Trademark

Save as disclosed in above, the Company confirms that, to the best of their knowledge and based on information made available to them, as at the Latest Practicable Date:

  • (1) there is no event subsequent to 31 December 2024, including material allowance of credit loss on its trade receivables or impairment losses of its assets, which would materially affect the NAV of the Group;

  • (2) there are no material contingent liabilities, unrecorded earnings or expenses or assets or liabilities that may have a material impact on the NAV of the Group as at 31 December 2024; and

  • (3) there is no material change to the accounting policies and methods of computation which may materially affect the NAV of the Group as at 31 December 2024.

Based on the issued share capital of 3,342,086,706 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, the RNAV per Share is approximately 0.76 to 0.82 Singapore cents. The Exit Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 0.08 to 0.14 Singapore cents or 9.6% to 18.0% to the RNAV per Share, or a P/RNAV ratio of approximately 1.10 to 1.18 times.

6.1.3 Net tangible assets (“NTA”) per Share

The Group’s intangible assets relating to the Trademark had carrying value of approximately S$1,528,000 as at 31 December 2024.

Excluding these intangible assets, based on the issued share capital of 3,342,086,706 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and the unaudited NTA attributable to Shareholders of approximately S$25.5 million as at 31 December 2024, the NTA per Share as at 31 December 2024 is approximately 0.76 Singapore cents. The Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 0.14 Singapore cents or 18.1% to the NTA per Share or a price-to-NTA (“ P/NTA ”) ratio of approximately 1.18 times.

6.1.4 Revalued NTA (“RNTA”) per Share

As stated in paragraph 6.1.3 of this IFA Letter, the unaudited NTA attributable to Shareholders as at 31 December 2024 is approximately S$25.5 million.

With the revaluation deficit, excluding minority interest, of the Subject Property of approximately S$822,000, we calculate the RNTA to be S$24.64 million. Based on the issued share capital of 3,342,086,706 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, the RNTA per Share is approximately 0.74 Singapore cents. The Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 0.16 Singapore cents or 22.1% to the RNTA per Share or a P/RNTA ratio of approximately 1.22 times.

6.2 HISTORICAL MARKET PERFORMANCE OF THE SHARES

6.2.1 Historical closing price of the Shares

We compare the Exit Offer Price with the daily closing prices for the Shares commencing from the 24 months period prior to and including 1 April 2025 (the “ Last Undisturbed Trading Day ”, being the last full market day where the Shares were traded on the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST prior to the Holding Announcement Date) up to the last trading day on 14 April 2025 before the Joint Announcement (the “ Last Trading Day ”) and the Latest Practicable Date (the “ Reference Period ”) and marked up the dates where the closing price of the Shares had 20% or more changes as compared to the previous closing price:

  • (2) The highest price refers to the highest trading price during the relevant period.

  • (3) The lowest price refers to the lowest trading price during the relevant period.

  • (4) The average daily trading volume of the Shares is computed based on the total volume of Shares traded and the total number of market days where the Shares were traded on the Official List of the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST (“ Trading Days ”) during the relevant period.

  • (5) Free float is calculated based on 1,330,399,072 Shares, being the difference between (i) the existing share capital of 3,342,086,706 Shares; and (ii) the 2,011,687,634 Shares held by the Offeror Concert Party Group.

  • (6) Off-market transactions on 11 July 2023, 11 September 2023, 3 October 2023 and 6 November 2023 were not included in the calculation of the VWAP for the relevant periods.

We note the following with regard to the trading prices of the Shares:

  • (a) the Exit Offer Price represents premia to the VWAPs of the Shares for all the periods as set out in the table above;

  • (b) the Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 28.57% to the lowest trading price of S$0.007 per Share for all the periods prior to the Last Trading Day;

  • (c) the Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 12.50% to the VWAP, lowest trading price and highest trading price for the periods after the Joint Announcement Date up to the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (d) the Exit Offer Price is equivalent or represents a premium to the highest trading price of the Shares for all the periods prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day, save for the 24-month period prior to the Last Undisturbed Trading Day;

  • (e) the Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 28.57% to the VWAP of S$0.007 per Share on the Last Undisturbed Trading Day and the Last Trading Day; and

  • (f) the Shares traded at between S$0.007 and S$0.009 for the period after the Last Undisturbed Trading Day up to the Latest Practicable Date and Exit Offer Price is equivalent or at a premium to the trading prices during this period.

  • We also note the following with regard to the trading liquidity of the Shares:

  • (b) the highest average daily trading volume of the Shares during the Reference Period were recorded at 2,969,888 Shares during the period after the Holding Announcement Date up to the Last Trading Day;

  • (c) the average daily trading volume for the period after the Joint Announcement Date up to the Latest Practicable Date remained generally low at 92,688 Shares, representing 0.01% of the free float;

  • (d) the volume of the Shares traded on the Latest Practicable Date represents 0.04% of the free float; and

  • (e) on average, the Shares were traded on more than 60% of the market days which the SGX-ST were open for trading (“ SGX Market Days ”) during the Reference Period. Subsequent to the Holding Announcement Date, the Shares were traded on more than 80% of SGX Market Days for the period after the Holding Announcement Date and up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

While there had been an increase in the number of Shares traded and the number of SGX Market Days which the Shares were traded after the Holding Announcement Date, the total Shares traded for the period after the Holding Announcement Date up to and including the Latest Practicable Date amounted to only 24,500,600 Shares, or approximately 1.84% of the free float of the Company. Further, as set out in the table above, the average daily traded volume of the Shares for the various periods during Reference Period did not exceed 3,000,000 Shares. This aligns with the Offeror’s rationale on how the Exit Offer provides Shareholders with an opportunity to liquidate and realise their investment in the Shares at a premium over the historical traded prices of the Shares, which may otherwise not be available given the low trading liquidity of the Shares.

Shareholders should note that there is no assurance that the market prices and trading volumes of the Shares will maintain at the level for the period after the Joint Announcement Date up to and including the Latest Practicable Date after the close or lapse of the Exit Offer. Shareholders are also advised that the past trading performance of the Shares should not, in any way, be relied upon as an indication or promise of its future trading performance.

6.3 COMPARISON OF THE VALUATION RATIOS OF THE COMPANY IMPLIED BY THE EXIT OFFER PRICE AGAINST THOSE OF ITS BROADLY COMPARABLE LISTED COMPANIES

As highlighted in paragraph 5.2 of this IFA Letter, the Group is principally involved in the business of hospitality referring to hotel management franchise, consultancy, and investment.

For the purpose of assessing the valuation of the Group as implied by the Exit Offer Price, we have considered listed companies whose business are broadly comparable with the Group (the “ Comparable Companies ”) with revenue mainly derived from hotel and include some contributions from hotel management for the latest reported financial year.

We had discussions with management about the suitability and reasonableness of the Comparable Companies. We wish to highlight that the Comparable Companies are not exhaustive and it should be noted that there may not be any listed company that is directly comparable to the Group in terms of location, business activities, customer base, size of operations, asset base, geographical markets, track record, financial performance, operating and financial leverage, future prospects, liquidity, quality of earnings, accounting policies, risk profile and other relevant criteria.

In view of the above, it should be noted that any comparison made with respect to the Comparable Companies merely serves as an illustration and that the conclusions drawn from the comparisons may not necessarily reflect the perceived market valuation of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Note:

(1) Market capitalisation of Comparable Companies are based on their respective closing prices as at the Latest Practicable Date.

For the comparison with the Comparable Companies, we have referred to various valuation ratios to provide an indication of the market expectations with regard to the valuation of these companies. In this respect, we have considered the following widely used ratios:

Valuation ratio General description EV/EBITDA ratio “ EV ” means enterprise value and is the sum of a company’s market capitalisation, preferred equity, minority interests, short term and long term debts less its cash and cash equivalents. “ EBITDA ” means earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation. The EV to EBITDA (“ EV/EBITDA ”) ratio is an earnings-based valuation methodology that does not take into account the capital structure of a company as well as its interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation charges. Therefore, it serves as an illustrative indicator of the current market valuation of the business of a company relative to its pre-tax operating cash flow and performance. P/NAV ratio P/NAV ratio illustrates the ratio of the market price of a company’s share relative to its asset backing as measured in terms of its historical consolidated NAV per share as stated in its financial statements. The NAV figure provides an estimate of the value of a company assuming the sale of all its tangible and intangible assets, the proceeds which are first used to settle its liabilities and obligations with the balance available for distribution to its shareholders. Comparisons of companies using their book NAVs are affected by differences in their respective accounting policies, in particular their depreciation and asset valuation policies. P/NTA ratio P/NTA ratio illustrates the ratio of the market price of a company’s share relative to its historical NTA per share as recorded in its financial statements. The NTA figure provides an estimate of the value of a company assuming the sale of all its tangible assets, the proceeds which are first used to settle its liabilities and obligations with the balance available for distribution to its shareholders. Comparisons of companies using their NTAs are affected by differences in their respective accounting policies, in particular, their depreciation and asset valuation policies.

We have excluded price-to-earnings (“ P/E ”) ratios as the Group reported losses for FY2024 and the LTM31Dec2024.

or gain on disposal of subsidiaries, property, plant and equipment (“ PPE ”), non-current assets and equity-accounted investee; fair value gains or losses on investment securities and investment properties; impairment or write back on financial assets, PPE, properties and receivables; write-off of PPE; reversal of write-down of property development costs; and revaluation gains on PPE, write-down of intangible assets, where applicable.

(4) EV/EBITDA and EV/Adjusted EBITDA for HL Global is negative due to its negative enterprise value, with cash balances being larger than the market capitalisation of the company.

For illustrative purpose only, based on the above ratio analysis, we note that:

  • (a) the EV/EBITDA ratio of the Company as implied by the Exit Offer Price is within the range and above both the mean and median corresponding ratios of the Comparable Companies;

  • (b) the EV/Adjusted EBITDA ratio of the Company as implied by the Exit Offer Price is within the range but below both the mean and median corresponding ratios of the Comparable Companies; and

  • (c) both the P/NAV ratio and the P/NTA ratio as implied by the Exit Offer Price is higher than the range of the corresponding ratios of the Comparable Companies.

6.4 COMPARISON WITH RECENT COMPLETED PRIVATISATION TRANSACTIONS FOR COMPANIES LISTED ON THE SGX-ST

In assessing the Exit Offer Price, we have compared the terms of the Exit Offer with those of selected successful privatisation transactions that were announced and completed since January 2022 and up to the Latest Practicable Date which were carried out either by way of voluntary delisting exit offers under Rule 1307 of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST, offers being made by way of a scheme of arrangement under Section 210 of the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore (the “ Companies Act ”), or general takeover offers under the Code where the offeror has stated its intentions to delist the listed company from the SGX-ST (“ Recent Privatisation Transactions ”).

This analysis serves as a general indication of the relevant premium/discount that the offerors had paid in order to privatise the target companies without having regard to their specific industry characteristics or other considerations, and the comparison sets out the premium or discount represented by each of the respective offer prices to the last transacted prices and VWAPs prior to the announcement of the respective Recent Privatisation Transactions.

We wish to highlight that the premium that an offeror pays in any particular takeover depends on various factors such as the potential synergy that the offeror can gain by acquiring the target, the presence of competing bids for the target, prevailing market conditions and sentiments, attractiveness and profile of the target’s business and assets, size of consideration and existing and desired level of control in the target. The comparison below is made without taking into consideration the underlying liquidity of the shares and the performance of the shares of the relevant companies below. Further, the list of target companies involved in Recent Privatisation Transactions set out in the analysis below are not directly comparable with the Group in terms of size of operations, market capitalisation, business activities, asset base, geographical spread, track record, accounting policy, financial performance, operating and financial leverage, future prospects and other relevant criteria. Hence, the comparison of the Exit Offer with the Recent Privatisation Transactions set out below is for illustration purposes only. Conclusions drawn from the comparisons made may not reflect any perceived market valuation of the Group.

  • (3) Figures used were for the period prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day.

  • (4) As stated in paragraph 6.1.2 of this IFA Letter, there is a range for the P/RNAV ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price due to the range of market value of Trademark.

Based on the above, we note that:

  • (a) the premium of the Exit Offer Price over the VWAP of the Shares for all the periods prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day are within the range of Recent Privatisation Transactions;

  • (b) the premium of the Exit Offer Price over the VWAP of the Shares for all the periods prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day are below the mean and median of the corresponding ratio of the Recent Privatisation Transactions;

6.5 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE GROUP

We summarise the consolidated financial results of the Group for the Review Period as follows:

FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 LTM31

Revenue from continuing 5,121 8,175 9,729 11,955

EBITDA(3) 1,702 3,250 1,545 1,154
Adjusted EBITDA(4) 1,808 4,111 5,715 7,144

Notes:

  • (1) The vessel chartering business was disposed off and discontinued during FY2024, hence, unlike for FY2022, the revenue in FY2023, FY2024 and LTM31Dec2024 does not reflect revenue from vessel chartering business.

  • (2) Profit / (Loss) for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company reflects total profit including profits from discontinued operations.

  • (3) The EBITDA for the periods is calculated with profit before tax, adjusted for depreciation and amortisation, interest income, interest expense and shares of results of associates.

  • (4) The adjusted EBITDA for the periods is calculated with EBITDA, adjusted for fair value loss on unquoted investments at fair value, net loss arising on financial assets mandatorily measured at FVPTL, write down of intangible assets, write off of PPE, impairment loss on goodwill, impairment loss on PPE, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, loss on disposal of other intangible assets, and share-based payment expenses.

6.5.1 Review of Financial Performance

Revenue from continuing operations

We highlight that the revenue contributed by the hospitality segment in FY2022 was S$3.2 million and note that the Group’s revenue from the hospitality segment, its current only operating segment with revenue from external customers, has been increasing on a year-on-year basis throughout the Review Period, from approximately S$3.2 million in FY2022 to approximately S$12.0 million in LTM31Dec2024.

APPENDIX A: COMPANY INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER LETTER

==> picture [68 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

The Company has attributed the increase in revenue to be driven by higher occupancy rate and increased average daily rates and the expansion of the Group’s portfolio with the opening of new hotels.

Results from operating activities

The results from operating activities are derived from gross profit, adding other income and subtracting administrative expenses. We note that the results from operating activities has been increasing in line with the higher revenue recorded by the Group during the Review Period and has increased from a loss from operating activities of approximately S$110,000 in FY2022 to a profit from operating activities of approximately S$5.3 million in LTM31Dec2024.

We note that during the Review Period, a loss from operating activities was only recorded in FY2022, mainly due to the investment holding segment.

Profit / (loss) before income tax from continuing operations

We note that the Group has been making a loss before tax during the Review Period, save for in FY2023 when a profit before tax of approximately S$565,000 was recorded.

For FY2022, the loss before income tax from continuing operations was mainly attributed to the loss from operating activities and with the turnaround to profit from operating activities in FY2023, a profit before income tax from continuing operations was recorded for FY2023. For FY2024 and LTM31Dec2024, losses before income tax from continuing operations are recorded due to the following adjustments, which were not recorded for FY2022 and FY2023:

S$’000 FY2024 1H2024 1H2025 LTM31
Dec2024
Fair value loss on
unquoted fund
investments at fair value
(117) - - (117)
through profit or loss
Write-down of intangible
assets
(1,503) (1,183) (2,969) (3,289)
Impairment loss on PPE (1,758) - - (1,758)

The Company has attributed the fair value loss on unquoted fund investments at fair value through profit or loss to arise from the realisation of certain unquoted fund investments. The unquoted fund investments are measured at fair value based on the net assets from their latest available management accounts.

As stated in paragraph 6.1.2 of this IFA Letter, write-down on intangible assets were mainly due to the uncertainty regarding the realisation of future economic benefits associated with these assets and impairment on PPE were attributed to its hotel property due to lower forecasted average daily rate amidst the market conditions then.

Profit / (Loss) for the year attributable to owners of the Company

We note that the Group has been making losses for the year attributable to owners of the Company during the Review Period, save for FY2023 when the Group made a profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately S$1.1 million.

We highlight the profit and loss from continuing operations and discontinued operations from FY2023 onwards, excluding FY2022, as the discontinued vessel chartering operations were still consolidated in the annual report figures for that year, as follows:

S$’000 FY2023 FY2024 1H2024 1H2025
Profit from continuing
operations
557 (1,385) 239 805
Profit from discontinued
operations 518 36 219 -

year/period

Total profit attributable to
owners of the Company
1,056 (1,379) 399 770
Non-controlling interest 19 30 59 35

EBITDA

The EBITDA for the periods is calculated with profit before tax, adjusted for depreciation and amortisation, interest income, interest expense and shares of results of associates.

We note that the Group’s EBITDA in FY2023 is higher than the other periods under the review, at S$3.25 million, mainly due to the profit before tax recorded in FY2023 as compared to the losses before tax recorded in the other periods. While FY2022, FY2024 and LTM31Dec2024 recorded losses before tax, EBITDA remains positive due to depreciation and increasing interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

The adjusted EBITDA for the periods is calculated with EBITDA, adjusted for exceptional items including, but not limited to, fair value loss on unquoted investments at fair value, net loss arising on financial assets mandatorily measured at FVPTL, write down of intangible assets, write off of PPE, impairment loss on goodwill, impairment loss on PPE, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, loss on disposal of other intangible assets, and share-based payment expenses.

We note that the adjusted EBITDA has been increasing during the Review Period from S$1.81 million in FY2022 to S$7.14 million in LTM31Dec2024. The increase in adjusted EBITDA from FY2022 to FY2023 was mainly due to the adjustment from impairment loss on goodwill of S$0.8 million which was incurred due to a lower growth rate and higher pre-tax discount rate used in the value-in-use calculation of the vessel chartering entities. The adjusted EBITDA further increased in FY2024 due to impairment loss on PPE of S$1.76 million and write-down of intangible assets of S$1.50 million. The impairment loss of PPE was mainly a result of the

Group’s review of the recoverable amount of its freehold land and hotel property while the writedown of intangible assets was due to realisation of future economic benefits relating to the Trademark rights becoming uncertain. We further calculate the EBITDA for LTM31Dec2024 and noted that a further write-down of intangible assets relating to the Trademark of S$2.97 million was further recorded for 1H2025.

6.5.2 EV/EBITDA ratio as implied by the Exit Offer Price

We calculate the EV of the Group as implied by the Exit Offer Price as follows:

S$’000
Value of the Company as implied by the Exit Offer Price
Add: Bank borrowings and lease liabilities
Add: Non-controlling interests
Less: Cash and cash equivalents
EV
30,079
15,860(1)
762(1)
(9,299) (1)
37,402

Note:

(1) As at 31 December 2024.

Based on the EBITDA of S$1.2 million for LTM31Dec2024, the EV/EBITDA ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price is 32.4 times.

6.5.3 EV/Adjusted EBITDA ratio as implied by the Exit Offer Price

With EV of S$37.4 million and an adjusted EBITDA of S$7.1 million for LTM31Dec2024, the EV/Adjusted EBITDA ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price is 5.2 times.

As mentioned in the paragraph 6.5 of this IFA Letter, the adjusted EBITDA is calculated with EBITDA, adjusted for fair value loss on unquoted investments at fair value, net loss arising on financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss, write down of intangible assets, write off of PPE, impairment loss on goodwill, impairment loss on PPE, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, loss on disposal of other intangible assets, and share-based payment expenses, where applicable.

6.5.4 Outlook of the Group

The Company provided a commentary on its outlook in the announcement of its unaudited financial results for 1H2025. Certain extracts have been reproduced in italics below:

“The Group continues to focus on growing its hospitality business. In most of the markets that the Group operates, namely Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong, visitor arrivals have increased year on year but still not recovered to pre-Covid levels. The volume of China-outbound travellers continues to be lower than before and looks likely to persist in the face of macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds. On the supply side, there has also been an increase in new hotel openings in many markets in the last few years. Combined with inflationdriven increases in the cost of labour and operating supplies, as well as higher interest rates, these have put pressure on the performance of the hotels that the Group manages. In light of

these factors, the Group remains focused on maintaining cost discipline and continuously assessing capital requirements, while pursuing strategic growth opportunities as they arise.”

6.6 ESTIMATED RANGE OF VALUES FOR THE SHARES

We have analysed the market prices of the Shares, the financial performance and financial position of the Group in the preceding paragraphs of this IFA Letter.

As set out in paragraph 6.2.2 of this IFA Letter, the average daily trading volumes of the Shares for all the periods prior to and including the Last Trading Day represent less than 0.3% of the free float.

To estimate the potential value of the Shares, we have chosen to rely on the P/RNAV rather than the ratios of the Comparable Companies. While Comparable Company ratios can provide useful market benchmarks, they may not accurately reflect the intrinsic value of the Group, particularly given its current loss-making position and the significant non-operational adjustments affecting key metrics such as EBITDA. By contrast, the RNAV offers a clearer and more stable basis for valuation, as it incorporates updated valuations and assessment of the Group’s underlying assets.

As mentioned in paragraph 6.1.2 of this IFA Letter, the RNAV of the Group is approximately S$25.49 million to S$27.44 million. Based on the issued share capital of 3,342,086,706 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, the estimated range of value per Share is approximately 0.76 to 0.82 Singapore cents. The Exit Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 0.08 to 0.14 Singapore cents or 9.6% to 18.0% to the estimated range of value per Share.

6.7 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

(a) The 2023 Offer

The offeror for the 2023 Offer was also Mr. Aw Cheok Huat and the offer price was at S$0.007 for each Share. We compare the statistics of the Exit Offer with the 2023 Offer as follows:

Premium / (Discount) of offer price over/(to):

Last Offer
transacted 1-month 3-month 6-month price-to-
Date of price VWAP VWAP VWAP NAV
announcement Type (%) (%) (%) (%) (times)
2023 Offer 12-Jul-23 MGO (12.5) (24.7) (29.3) (28.6) 0.9
Exit Offer 19-Apr-25 VGO 28.6 16.9 20.0 23.3 1.1

As set out above, the Exit Offer Price represents a premia over the VWAPs of the Shares as compared to a discount over the VWAPs of the Shares in the 2023 Offer. The P/NAV implied by the Exit Offer Price is also higher than the corresponding ratio for the 2023 Offer.

A-31

APPENDIX A: COMPANY INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER LETTER

==> picture [68 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

We also compare the valuation ratios implied by the Exit Offer Price with the valuation ratios of the 2023 Offer as follows:

Market P/RNAV
Capitalisation P/E ratio EV/EBITDA P/NAV ratio ratio P/NTA ratio
(S$’m) (times) ratio (times) (times) (times) (times)
2023 Offer 23.3 107.0 15.5 0.9 0.9 1.2
Exit Offer 30.1 Negative 32.4 1.1 1.1 to 1.2 1.2

We note that the P/E ratio is not comparable as the Group recorded a loss for LTM31Dec2024, but the P/NTA ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price is equivalent to the corresponding ratio of the 2023 Offer and the EV/EBITDA ratio, P/NAV ratio and P/RNAV ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price are all higher than that of the 2023 Offer.

We also note that the Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 0.2 Singapore cents or 28.57% to the 2023 Offer Price.

(b) Implications of the Exit Offer

In the event that the Offeror receives valid acceptances pursuant to the Exit Offer of not less than 90% of the total Offer Shares, the Offeror would be entitled to exercise the right to compulsory acquire all the remaining Shares of the Shareholders who have not accepted the Exit Offer.

Shareholders should note that the Offeror is making the Exit Offer with a view to delist the Company. Accordingly, when entitled, the Offeror intends to exercise his right of compulsory acquisition under Section 215(1) of the Companies Act.

Additional information on the implications of delisting and compulsory acquisition is set out in Section 10 of the Circular.

(c) No competing offer

The Directors have confirmed that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, apart from the Exit Offer being proposed by the Offeror, no competing offer has been received. We also note that there is no publicly available evidence of any competing offer for the Shares from any third party.

7. OUR ADVICE

7.1 “FAIRNESS” OF THE EXIT OFFER

We set out below a summary of the key factors we have taken into our consideration when assessing the “fairness” of the Exit Offer:

7.1.1 Factors for the Exit Offer

The following factors substantiate the “fairness” of the Exit Offer:

  • (a) the Exit Offer Price represents premia to the VWAPs of the Shares for all the periods prior to and including the Last Trading Day up to the Latest Practicable Date as set out in paragraph 6.2.2 of this IFA Letter;

  • (b) the Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 12.50% to the lowest trading price and highest trading price for the periods after the Joint Announcement Date up to the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (c) the Shares traded at between S$0.007 and S$0.009 for the period after the Last Undisturbed Trading Day up to the Latest Practicable Date and Exit Offer Price is equivalent or at a premium to the trading prices during this period;

  • (d) the Exit Offer Price represents a premium of 11.4% to the NAV per Share and a premium of 18.1% to the NTA per Share;

  • (e) the Exit Offer Price represents a premium to the RNAV per Share and RNTA per Share;

  • (f) the P/NAV ratio and the P/NTA ratio of the Company as implied by the Exit Offer Price are higher than the range of the corresponding ratios of the Comparable Companies as set out in paragraph 6.3 of this IFA Letter;

  • (g) the EV/EBITDA and EV/Adjusted EBITDA ratio of the Company as implied by the Exit Offer Price are within the range of the corresponding ratios of the Comparable Companies, with EV/EBITDA ratio being above the mean and median corresponding ratios of the Comparable Companies as set out in paragraph 6.3 of this IFA Letter;

  • (h) the premium of the Exit Offer Price over the VWAP of the Shares for all the periods prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day are within the range of Recent Privatisation Transactions as set out in paragraph 6.4 of this IFA Letter; and

  • (i) the P/NAV ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price is slightly above the median P/NAV or P/RNAV ratios of the Recent Privatisation Transactions; and

7.1.2 Factors against the Exit Offer

The following factors undermine the “fairness” of the Exit Offer:

  • (a) the Exit Offer Price represents a discount of 25.0% to the highest trading price of S$0.012 per Share for the 24-month period prior to the Last Undisturbed Trading Day;

  • (b) the P/NAV ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price is generally lower than the trailing P/NAV ratio of the Company for the period before 6 July 2023;

  • (c) the EV/Adjusted EBITDA ratio of the Company as implied by the Exit Offer Price is below both the mean and median corresponding ratios of the Comparable Companies;

  • (d) the premium of the Exit Offer Price over the VWAP of the Shares for all the periods prior to and including the Last Undisturbed Trading Day are below the mean and median of the corresponding ratios of the Recent Privatisation Transactions; and

  • (e) the P/NAV ratio implied by the Exit Offer Price is slightly below the mean P/NAV or P/RNAV ratios of the Recent Privatisation Transactions.

7.2 “REASONABLENESS” OF THE EXIT OFFER

We set out below a summary of the key factors we have taken into our consideration when assessing the “reasonableness” of the Exit Offer:

7.2.1 Factors for the Exit Offer

The following factors substantiate the “reasonableness” of the Exit Offer:

  • (a) the Group had reported losses for the years during the Review Period, save for FY2023, as set out in paragraph 6.5 of this IFA Letter;

  • (b) the highest closing price of the Shares for the period after the Holding Announcement Date up to the Latest Practicable Date was equal to or did not exceed the Exit Offer Price, implying that the market prices of the Shares have been supported by the Exit Offer. Shareholders should note that there is no assurance that the market prices and trading volumes of the Shares will maintain at the level for the period after the Holding Announcement Date up to the Latest Practicable Date, after the close of the Exit Offer; and

  • (c) the other considerations set out in paragraph 6.7 of this IFA Letter.

7.2.2 Factors against the Exit Offer

The following factor undermines the “reasonableness” of the Exit Offer:

  • (a) even though the Group had reported losses for the years during the Review Period, its adjusted EBITDA has been increasing steadily on a year-on-year basis

Accordingly, after taking into account the above factors, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof that on balance, the Exit Offer is fair and reasonable. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Directors to recommend Shareholders to accept the Exit Offer.

In rendering the above advice, we have not given regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or particular needs and constraints of any individual Shareholder. As each individual Shareholder would have different investment objectives and profiles, we would advise that any individual Shareholder who may require specific advice in relation to his investment objectives or portfolio should consult his legal, financial, tax or other professional adviser immediately. The Independent Directors should advise Shareholders that the opinion and advice of Xandar Capital should not be relied upon by any Shareholder as the sole basis for deciding whether or not to accept the Exit Offer, as the case may be.

This IFA Letter is addressed to the Independent Directors for their benefit, in connection with and for the purpose of their consideration of the terms of the Exit Offer, but the recommendation made by them to the Offer Shareholders shall remain their responsibility. Whilst a copy of this IFA Letter may be reproduced in the Exit Offer Letter, neither the Company nor the Directors may reproduce, disseminate or quote this IFA Letter (or any part thereof) for any other purpose at any time and in any manner without the prior written consent of Xandar Capital in each specific case.

Under Rule 26.3 of the Code, the Company is required, amongst other matters, to make an assessment of any potential tax liability which would arise if the Intellectual Property and the Subject Property were to be sold at the amount of the valuation.

Based on the independent valuation of the Intellectual Property conducted by Colliers International Consultancy & Valuation (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has confirmed that (i) the Intellectual Property is held for the Company’s long-term use in their provision of hotel management services, hotel ownership and the licensing of the Travelodge hotel brand; and (ii) in a hypothetical scenario where the Intellectual Property is sold at the market value, there is no potential tax liability as any gains will be deemed as a capital gain and there is no capital gain tax in Singapore. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no current plans to dispose the Intellectual Property.

which would result in an adjustment of the
Conversion Ratio if, after giving effect
thereto, the number of ordinary shares

extent that could not be legally effected.
(m) As regards adjustments. The Directors may, in their
absolute discretion and after consultation with a
reputable
bank
or
merchant
bank,
adjust
the
Conversion Ratio in accordance with the provisions
of this
Regulation
12(1)(m)

whilst
any
Preference
Shares
remain
If,
whilst
any
Preference
Shares
remain
capable
of
being
converted
into
ordinary
shares, there shall be an alteration to the
nominal value of ordinary shares as a result of
a consolidation or sub-division, the number of
ordinary shares into which Preference Shares
are
to
be
converted
on
any
subsequent
conversion of the Preference Shares may be
reduced or increased accordingly, and such
reduction or increase shall become effective
immediately after the alteration takes effect.
(iii) If and whenever the Company shall make any
Capital
Distribution
to
holders
of
ordinary
shares, then the number of ordinary shares
into which every $0.05 nominal amount of
Preference Shares (and so in proportion to any
other
nominal
amount
of
the
Preference
Shares) is to be subsequently converted may
be adjusted by multiplying such number of
ordinary shares by the following fraction:
A
A – B
where:
A
is the Current Market Price per Ordinary
Share (as defined in Regulation 12(2)) at
the date on which the Capital Distribution
is publicly announced; and

cents) on the day of such announcement,
as determined in good faith by a reputable

Ordinary Share.
Such adjustment shall become effective as at
the
record
date
for
the
relevant
Capital
Distribution. The provisions of this Regulation
12(1)(m)(iii) shall not apply to any offer which
falls within Regulation 12(1)(m)(iv).

holders of ordinary shares as a class new
ordinary shares by way of rights at a price
which is less than the Current Market Price per
ordinary
share
at
the
date
of
the
announcement of the terms of the offer, then
(except where the Conversion Ratio falls to be
adjusted under Regulation 12(1)(m)(i) or (iii))
the number of ordinary shares into which every
$0.05 nominal amount of Preference Shares
(and so in proportion to any other nominal
amount of the Preference Shares) is to be
subsequently converted may be increased by a
number equal to:
X x Z
Y + Z
where:
X
is the number (rounded down to the
nearest one share) of the new ordinary
shares which would have been offered to
a holder of $0.05 nominal amount of
Preference Shares had his conversion
rights been exercisable and exercised in
full immediately before the record date for
such offer at the Conversion Ratio then
applicable;
Y
is the price (expressed in cents) payable

this Regulation 12(1)(m), in any circumstances
where
the
Directors
consider
that
any
adjustments to the Conversion Ratio should be
calculated on a different basis or date or should
take
effect
on
a
different
date
from
that
provided for in this Regulation 12(1)(m) or that
an adjustment to the Conversion Ratio should
be
made
notwithstanding
that
no
such
adjustment
is
contemplated
under
this
Regulation
12(1)(m),
the
Company
may
appoint a reputable bank or merchant bank to
consider whether for any reason whatsoever
the adjustment as set out under the provisions
hereof is appropriate or inappropriate, as the
case may be, and, if such bank or merchant
bank shall consider the adjustment or the
absence of an adjustment to be appropriate or
inappropriate,
as
the
case
may
be,
the
adjustment shall be modified or an adjustment
made instead of no adjustment in such manner
as
shall
be
considered
by
such
bank
or
merchant bank to be in its opinion appropriate.
(vi) If
the
Directors,
after
consultation
with
a
reputable bank or merchant bank, determine
that it is appropriate to make an adjustment to
the
Conversion
Ratio
pursuant
to
the
provisions of this Regulation 12(1)(m), the
auditors for the time being of the Company
shall report the extent to which an adjustment
to the Conversion Ratio falls to be made and
the
Company
shall
notify
the
Preference
Shareholders and set forth brief particulars of
the
event
or
events
giving
rise
to
such
adjustment, the Conversion Ratio in effect prior
to such adjustment, the adjusted Conversion
Ratio and the effective date thereof and shall
make available for their inspection (at such
place as shall be specified in such notice) a
copy of the said report of the auditors and,
where any determination of a reputable bank or
merchant bank shall have been made pursuant
to
Regulation
12(1)(m),
a
copy
of
such
determination.
In
the
absence
of
manifest
error, the adjustment to the Conversion Ratio
as specified in such notice shall be conclusive
and binding on all concerned.

ordinary shares as if the Preference Shares
had been converted to ordinary shares on the
day prior to the books closure date in respect of
that issue. If the Directors shall determine that

to participate in such issue as aforesaid, no
adjustment which would otherwise have to be
made under this Regulation 12(1)(m) shall be
made.

APPENDIX C: PROVISIONS IN CONSTITUTION – RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF CAPITAL, DIVIDENDS AND VOTING

C. Rights in respect of Dividends

DIVIDENDS AND RESERVE
Distribution of profits
124.
Subject to any preferential or other special rights for the time
being attached to any special class of shares, the profits of the
Company which it shall from time to time determine to
distribute by way of dividend shall be applied in payment of
dividends upon the shares of the Company in proportion to the
amounts paid up or credited as paid up thereon respectively
otherwise than in advance of calls.
Declaration of
125. The Directors may, with the
sanction of a general meeting,
dividends
from time to time declare dividends, but no such dividend shall
(except as expressly authorised by the Act and/or any other
applicable law) be payable except out of the profits of the
Company. Any dividend unclaimed after 6 years from the date
of declaration shall be forfeited and revert to the Company. If
the Depository returns any such dividend or monies to the
Company, the relevant Depositor shall not have any right or
claim in respect of such Dividend or monies against the
Company if a period of 6 years has elapsed from the date of
the declaration of such dividend. The Directors may, if they
think fit, from time to time declare and pay to the Members
such interim dividends as appear to them to be justified by the
position of the Company, and may also from time to time if in
their opinion such payment is so justified, pay any preferential
dividends which by the terms of issue of any shares are made
payable on fixed dates. No higher dividend shall be paid than
is recommended by the Directors, and the declaration of the
Directors as to the amount of the net profits shall be
conclusive. Subject to the provisions of the Act where any
asset, business or property is bought by the Company as from
a past date upon the terms that the Company shall as from that
date take the profits and bear the losses, thereof, such profits
or losses, as the case may be, shall, at the discretion of the
Directors, be credited or debited wholly or in part to revenue
account, and in that case the amount so credited or debited
shall, for the purpose of ascertaining the fund available for
dividend be included accordingly. Subject as aforesaid, if any
shares or securities are purchased cum dividend or interest by
the Company, such dividend or interest when paid may at the
discretion of the Directors be treated as revenue, and it shall
not be obligatory to capitalise the same or any part thereof.
Deduction from
126. The Directors may deduct from any dividend payable to any
dividend
Member all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to
the Company on account of calls or otherwise in relation to the
shares of the Company.

C-43

APPENDIX C: PROVISIONS IN CONSTITUTION – RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF CAPITAL, DIVIDENDS AND VOTING

Retention of dividends 127. The Directors may retain any dividends or other monies
on shares subject to payable on or in respect of a share on which the Company has
lien a lien, and may apply the same in or towards the satisfaction
of the debts, liabilities or engagements in respect of which the
lien exists.
Retention of dividends 128. The Directors may retain the dividends payable on shares in
on shares pending respect of which any person is under the provisions as to the
transmission transmission of shares hereinbefore contained entitled to
become
a
Member,
or
which
any
person
under
those
provisions is entitled to transfer, until such person shall
become a Member in respect of such shares or shall duly
transfer the same.
Payment otherwise 129. Any general meeting declaring a dividend or bonus may direct
than in cash payment of such dividend or bonus wholly or partly by the
distribution of specific assets and in particular of paid up
shares, debentures or debenture stock of any other company
or in any one or more of such ways, and the Directors shall
give effect to such resolution, and where any difficulty arises in
regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same
as they think expedient, and in particular may issue fractional
certificates and fix the value for distribution of such specific
assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash
payments shall be made to any Member upon the footing of the
value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties, and
may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem
expedient to the Directors. Any shares allotted as fully paid
bonus shares in respect of the Treasury Shares shall be
treated for the purposes of this Act as if they were purchased
by the Company at the time they were allotted.
Scrip dividends 130. (1)
Whenever the Directors or the Company in general
meeting have resolved or proposed that a dividend
(including an interim, final, special or other dividend) be
paid or declared on the ordinary share capital of the
Company,
the
Directors
may
further
resolve
that
Members entitled to such dividend be entitled to elect to
receive an allotment of ordinary shares credited as fully
paid in lieu of cash in respect of the whole or such part of
the dividend as the Directors may think fit. In such case,
the following provisions shall apply:
(a)
the basis of any such allotment shall be determined
by the Directors;

C-44

APPENDIX C: PROVISIONS IN CONSTITUTION – RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF CAPITAL, DIVIDENDS AND VOTING

(b) the Directors shall determine the manner in which the Directors shall determine the manner in which
Members shall be entitled to elect to receive an
allotment of ordinary shares credited as fully paid in
lieu of cash in respect of the whole or such part of
any dividend in respect of which the Directors shall
have passed such a resolution as aforesaid, and the
Directors may make such arrangements as to the
giving of notice to Members, providing for forms of
election for completion by Members (whether in
respect of a particular dividend or dividends or
generally), determining the procedure for making
such elections or revoking the same and the place at
which and the latest date and time by which any
forms of election or other documents by which
elections are made or revoked must be lodged, and
otherwise make all such arrangements and do all
such things, as the Directors consider necessary or
expedient in connection with the provisions of this
Regulation 130;
(c) the right of election may be exercised in respect of
the whole of that portion of the dividend in respect of
which the right of election has been accorded
Provided That the Directors may determine, either
generally or in any specific case, that such right
shall be exercisable in respect of the whole or any
part of that portion; and
(d) the dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect
of which a right of election has been accorded) shall
not be payable in cash on ordinary shares in respect
of which the share election has been duly exercised
(the “elected ordinary shares”) and in lieu and in
satisfaction thereof ordinary shares shall be allotted
and credited as fully paid to the holders of the
elected ordinary shares on the basis of allotment
determined as aforesaid and for such purpose and
notwithstanding any provision of the Regulations to
the contrary, the Directors shall be empowered to do
all things necessary and convenient for the purpose
of implementing the aforesaid, including, without
limitation, the making of each necessary allotment
of shares and of each necessary appropriation,
capitalisation, application, payment and distribution
of
funds
which
may
be
lawfully
appropriated,
capitalised, applied, paid or distributed for the
purpose of the allotment and without prejudice to the

C-45

APPENDIX C: PROVISIONS IN CONSTITUTION – RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF CAPITAL, DIVIDENDS AND VOTING

generality of the foregoing the Directors may (i) capitalise and apply the amount standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution as the Directors may determine, such sum as may be required to pay up in full the appropriate number of ordinary shares for allotment and distribution to and among the holders of the elected ordinary shares on such basis, or (ii) apply the sum which would otherwise have been payable in cash to the holders of the elected ordinary shares towards payment of the appropriate number of ordinary shares for allotment and distribution to and among the holders of the elected ordinary shares on such basis.

Ranking of shares and other actions (2) (a) The ordinary shares allotted pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Regulation 130 shall rank pari passu in all respects with the ordinary shares then in issue save only as regards participation in the dividend which is the subject of the election referred to above (including the right to make the election referred to above) or any other distributions, bonuses or rights paid, made, declared or announced prior to or contemporaneous with the payment or declaration of the dividend which is the subject of the election referred to above, unless the Directors shall otherwise specify. (b) The Directors may do all acts and things considered necessary or expedient to give effect to any appropriation, capitalisation, application, payment and distribution of funds pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Regulation 130, with full power to make such provisions as they may think fit in the case of fractional entitlements to shares (including, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in these Regulations, provisions whereby, in whole or in part, fractional entitlements are disregarded or rounded up or down, or whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrues to the Company rather than the Members) and to authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Members interested into an agreement(s) with the Company providing for any such appropriation, capitalisation, application, payment and distribution of funds and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.

C-46

APPENDIX C: PROVISIONS IN CONSTITUTION – RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF CAPITAL, DIVIDENDS AND VOTING

Record date

(3) The Directors may, on any occasion when they resolve as provided in paragraph (1) of this Regulation 130, determine the rights of election under that paragraph shall not be made available to the persons who are registered as holders of ordinary shares in the Register of Members or (as the case may be) in the Depository Register, or in respect of ordinary shares the transfer of which is registered, after such date as the Directors may fix subject to such exceptions as the Directors think fit and, in such event, the provisions of this Regulation 130 shall be read and construed subject to such determination.

Cash in lieu of shares

  • (4) The Directors may, on any occasion when they resolve as provided in paragraph (1) of this Regulation 130, further determine that no allotment of shares or rights of election for ordinary shares under that paragraph shall be made available or made to Members whose registered addresses entered in the Register of Members (or as the case may be) the Depository Register is outside Singapore or to such other Members or class of Members as the Directors may in their sole discretion decide and in such event the only entitlements of the Members aforesaid shall be to receive in cash the relevant dividend resolved or proposed to be paid or declared.

  • Cancellation (5) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Regulation 130, if at any time after the Directors’ resolution to apply the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Regulation 130 in relation to any dividend but prior to the allotment of ordinary shares pursuant thereto, the Directors shall consider that by reason of any event or circumstance (whether arising before or after such resolution) or by reason of any matter whatsoever it is no longer expedient or appropriate to implement that proposal, the Directors may at their absolute discretion and without assigning any reason therefore, as they deem fit, cancel the proposed application of paragraph (1) of this Regulation 130.

C-47

APPENDIX C: PROVISIONS IN CONSTITUTION – RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF CAPITAL, DIVIDENDS AND VOTING

connected with the business of the Company, or for equalising
dividends, or for distribution by way of special dividend or
bonus, or may be applied for such other purposes for which the
profits of the Company may lawfully be applied as the
Directors may think expedient in the interests of the Company,
and pending such application the Directors may employ the
sums from time to time so set apart as aforesaid in the
business of the Company or invest the same in such securities,
other than the shares of the Company, as they may select. The
Directors may also from time to time carry forward such sums

APPENDIX D: UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 OF COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

E. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Corporate information

ICP Ltd. (the “Company”) (Registration Number 196200234E) is incorporated in the Republic of Singapore with its principal place of business and registered office at 6 Temasek Boulevard, #23-01, Suntec Tower Four, Singapore 038986. The Company is listed on Catalist of Singapore Exchange.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) are that of investment holding, provision of hotel management, franchise and consultancy services and hotel investment.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2024 (“1H2025”) comprise the Group.

2. Basis of preparation

The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standard (International) (“SFRS(I)”) 1-34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Accounting Standards Council Singapore.

The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance of the Group since the last audited financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 (“FY2024”).

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year which were prepared in accordance with SFRS(I)s, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out in Note 2.1.

The condensed interim financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollar (SGD or S$), which is the Company’s functional currency, and all values in the tables are rounded to the nearest thousand (S$’000) except when otherwise indicated.

2.1 New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared based on accounting policies and methods of computation consistent with those adopted in the most recently audited financial statements of the Group for FY2024. A number of amendments to standards have become applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting those standards.

2.2 Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with SFRS(I) requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the most recently audited financial statements as at and for FY2024.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

  • E. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

3. Seasonal operations

The Group’s businesses are not affected significantly by seasonal or cyclical factors during the financial period.

4. Segment information

The Group has three reportable segments, as described below, which are the Group’s strategic business units. These units are managed separately because they require different operational expertise, industry knowledge and separate financial requirements on a standalone basis. For each of the strategic business units, the chief operating decision makers, being the heads of the respective strategic business units, reviews internal management reports on a monthly basis to make strategic decisions including resource allocation and performance assessments.

(a) Hospitality – Hotel management, franchise, consultancy and investment

  • (b) Vessels chartering – Chartering of vessels (oil tankers)

  • (c) Investment holding – Investment and management activities

During FY2024, the Group disposed of its interests in GMT Bravo Pte Ltd and GMT Charlie Pte Ltd, which are in the vessels chartering business (Note 6). Accordingly, the vessels chartering segment was re-presented as discontinued operations.

Performance is measured based on segment profit or loss, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the chief operating decision makers of the respective strategic business units. Segment profit or loss is used to measure performance as the chief operating decision makers of the respective strategic business units believe that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries.

Note:

(i) Compared to six months ended 31 December 2023 (“1H2024”), the reportable profit for hospitality segment increased from S$0.9 million to S$1.1 million in 1H2025, primarily due to higher revenue from the improved performance of existing hotels and the opening of new hotels, partially offset by the write-down of intangible assets.

The Group has a secured bank loan and a bridging bank loan with a carrying amount of S$14,311,000 (30 June 2024: S$14,710,000) and S$1,220,000 (30 June 2024: S$1,850,000) respectively as at 31 December 2024.

The secured bank loan is held by one of the subsidiaries of the Group. During the year ended 30 June 2024, one of the bank financial covenant requirements, which requires the maintenance of a Loan-toValue (“LTV”) ratio of the subsidiary not exceeding 50%, was breached. Consequently, the non-current portion of the outstanding bank loan, amounting to S$14,710,000, was reclassified to current liabilities as at 30 June 2024 in accordance with requirements of Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) 1-1 Presentation of Financial Statements . As a result, the Group was in a net current liability position as at 30 June 2024.

In October 2024, the loan was partially repaid by approximately RM4,343,600 (S$1,291,000).

Details of any collaterals

Review of performance

The Group reported revenue of S$7.4 million from continuing operations in 1H2025, an increase of S$2.2 million compared to 1H2024. This revenue growth was primarily driven by the Group’s hospitality business, due to the improved performance of existing hotels and the opening of new hotels.

Administrative expenses from continuing operations, comprising primarily payroll, depreciation, professional fees, and hotel operation expenses from the hospitality segment, increased from S$3.0 million in 1H2024 to S$3.2 million in 1H2025. This increase aligns with the rise in the Group’s revenue.

F. Other Information required pursuant to Appendix 7C of the Catalist Rules (Continued)

Review of performance (continued)

The write-down of intangible assets amounting to S$3.0 million in 1H2025 and S$1.2 million in 1H2024 was mainly due to the uncertainty regarding the realisation of future economic benefits associated with these assets. Other losses primarily relate to foreign exchange losses on monetary items.

The share of results of equity-accounted investees, net of tax, increased by S$0.2 million. This was driven by higher profits and an unrealised exchange gain from an associate’s investments carried at fair value through profit or loss.

Due to the disposal of subsidiaries during FY2024, the comparatives for 1H2024 have been re-presented accordingly under a separate line item: profit for the period from discontinued operations.

As a result of the above, the Group reported a profit after tax of S$0.8 million in 1H2025, compared to S$0.5 million in 1H2024.

Review on balance sheet

Non-current assets

The increase in property, plant, and equipment was mainly due to the effect of foreign exchange movements amounting to S$1.7 million, partially offset by a depreciation charge of S$0.2 million. The decrease in intangible assets was a result of the write-down as explained in the previous section.

The investment in associates and joint venture increased by S$3.1 million, primarily due to a new investment of S$2.9 million in an associate and the share of results for the period amounting to S$0.2 million. The decrease in right-of-use assets was mainly attributable to depreciation.

Current assets

Current assets decreased by S$1.0 million, primarily due to a reduction in other receivables following the receipt of the remaining consideration for the disposal of subsidiaries. This was partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Non-current liabilities

Non-current loans and borrowings increased by S$13.6 million, primarily due to the reclassification from current liabilities following the waiver from the bank on the compliance of the financial covenants. The decrease in lease liabilities is in line with the reduction in right-of-use assets.

Current liabilities

The decrease in current loans and borrowings was mainly due to the reclassification mentioned above.

Equity

Total equity attributable to equity holders of the company increased by S$1.6 million, primarily due to the profit for the period of S$0.8 million and a foreign exchange translation gain of S$0.8 million.

Review of Cash Flows

The Group reported a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of S$2.0 million, consisting of positive operating cash flows of S$6.0 million, cash used in investing activities of S$2.0 million and cash used in financing activities of S$2.0 million.

7. A commentary at the date of the announcement of the significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months

The Group continues to focus on growing its hospitality business. In most of the markets that the Group operates, namely Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong, visitor arrivals have increased year on year but still not recovered to pre-Covid levels. The volume of China-outbound travellers continues to be lower than before and looks likely to persist in the face of macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds. On the supply side, there has also been an increase in new hotel openings in many markets in the last few years. Combined with inflation-driven increases in the cost of labour and operating supplies, as well as higher interest rates, these have put pressure on the performance of the hotels that the Group manages. In light of these factors, the Group remains focused on maintaining cost discipline and continuously assessing capital requirements, while pursuing strategic growth opportunities as they arise.

VALUATION CERTIFICATE

Property : Travelodge Intellectual Property (“Travelodge IP”)
Name of Instructing Party : Travelodge Hotels Asia (IP) Pte Ltd (“Travelodge”)
Purpose of Valuation : Accounting Purpose
Brief Description of : Travelodge’ is a well-known brand that is synonymous with the offering of a
Property midscale select service hotel offering. It is essentially a rooms product offering
little in terms of other full-service facilities such as food & beverage, wellness
etc.
Its presence is well known in so-called Western markets and has its history in
1930s America before being introduced to Europe and thereafter being split
geographically. Building contractor Scott King developed the Travelodge brand
in 1939 and opened the first hotel in San Diego in 1940 after opening a number
of auto courts and motels around California. People started buying automobiles
and traveling with their kids, so King realized it was the perfect time to develop
a hotel for cross-country travellers. Travelodge started franchising its brand in
1965 and thereafter started to grow rapidly. It was eventually acquired by what
is now Wyndham in 2006.
Following this, the brand has seen itself separated from its original US, Canada
and Mexico roots, with the franchise rights being sold to various investors
primarily for the UK, Ireland and Spain, and later on Australia and New Zealand.
It is from the latter that the Client acquired the franchise rights for some 39
countries / jurisdictions, and the subject of this allocation.
It is noted from the Sale of Trademarks Agreement, that it is the ‘Travelodge’
trademark rights that was acquired. This included the so called ‘tick’ logo for
France, the UK and US but not the use of the Travelodge name in these
jurisdictions. The Agreement is strictly limited to the trademarks associated with
the ANZ Trademarks and domains, together with the Travelodge Product
Category which sets out the generic / minimum hotel standards and market
positioning (Clause 7 of the Sale of Trademarks Agreement). It is noted that
the acquisition did not include any technological, operational IP such as hotel
technology, operating and booking systems.
Registered Owner : Travelodge
Interest Valued : Intellectual property rights associated with the Travelodge brand.
Basis of Valuation : Market value
“Market Value is the estimated amount for which an asset should exchange on
the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an ‘arms-
length’ transaction, after proper marketing, wherein the parties had each acted
knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion”
This valuation has been carried out in accordance with the International
Valuation Standards of the International Valuation Standards Council (“IVSC”).

We consider Income Approach to be appropriate for valuing the IP given its only main source of income will be derived from its use. This approach is essentially a capitalization of the value of the future stream of earnings from the operations.

Direct capitalization has been adopted given that there is no significant pipeline projected after 2025 with the brand entering a phase whereby some existing shorter-term contracts are coming to an end.

Earnings Estimates : The Company has prepared financial projections for the current year (2025) of operations, which entails income from its hotel management and franchise operations. . These include continued investment and increased market share from growth of its hotel management operations. The Company has assessed the likely management and marketing fees from its existing hotels in addition to its pipeline.

Revenue and cost assumptions are based on Travelodge’s assessment of ongoing operations, allowing for an increase in business development and marketing activities as its pipeline grows.

Revenue includes licence fee. Licence fees are calculated based on the range of recommended commercial terms as agreed with management and projected pro-forma performance for the individual hotels. The recommended range is between 0.5% to 1.0% of total hotel revenue. Licence fees are expected to increase over the years as hotels with HMAs signed open and letters of intent converted.

Expense assumptions, as provided by management, consist mainly of statutory & general expenses, and legal & professional fees. These are mostly fixed and are not expected to vary significantly with income levels.

Management has confirmed they are reasonably satisfied with the projections and assumptions used herein and as prepared by them.

Overall, we consider the income projections appears reasonable, principally due to the inherent underlying uncertainty in the pipeline eventuation as forecast ie some projects may be delayed or take longer to complete that anticipated, with no committed pipeline apart from the two properties in Korea and Japan that are set to open, and the possibility of some shorter term contracts coming to an end.

The Company is exposed to certain company specific risks which will need to be considered including its high concentration of properties in Asia and particularly China dependent source markets. We do note, however, that these risks may ease as the Company continues to diversify its geographic presence. Further, the Company is exposed to earnings risk given the short validity of its operating agreements and termination upon sale clauses. This is further exacerbated by a lack of significant pipeline of future agreements.

MARKET VALUE

Valuation Methodology In arriving at our opinion of the Market Value of the Subject Property, we have adopted the Income Approach by Discounted Cash Flow Method supported by the Comparison Approach .

Income Approach by Discounted Cash Flow incorporates the estimation of future annual cash flows over an investment Discounted Cash Flow horizon (forecasted/projected period) from the valuation date by referencing to expected revenue Method growth rates, operating expenses and terminal value. The present value of future cash flow is then determined by the application of an appropriate discount rate to derive a net present value of the property as at the valuation date.

In our assessment, we have carried out a DCF analysis over a 5-year investment horizon by using ARGUS Enterprise - Property Valuation Software, where we have projected the property to achieve a stabilised / optimum level of growth at the end of Year 5. We have included a Terminal Value after the projection period (based on the Year 5 projection) to represent the value of the asset at the end of the explicit projection period. This form of analysis allows an investor or owner to make an assessment of the long-term return that is likely to be derived from a property in such a manner as to attain the desired level of investment return commensurate with the risk of that asset class.

ARGUS Enterprise is the global standard for property valuation and most comprehensive asset and portfolio management solution. Trusted by leading investment firms to value property, secure capital, manage assets, and generate wealth.

ARGUS Enterprise is able to:-

  • Real-time calculations and lease level analysis

  • Multiple report tabs for dynamic presentations and portfolio reviews

  • Multiple currency rate tables for global consolidated reporting

  • Dynamic drill-downs to examine property level results across a portfolio

  • Build detailed cash flow forecasts and stress test market and leasing assumptions

In undertaking this analysis, we have used a wide range of assumptions for the property including the growth of average daily rates and other revenues during the holding period, projected occupancy, expense ratios and other related expenses.

MARKET VALUE

Income Approach by Discounted Cash Flow Method (Cont’d)

These projections are based on assumptions and events expected to occur in the future. Therefore, no guarantee can be given that these results will be achieved. The projections are however based on Knight Frank Malaysia Sdn Bhd’s experience with similar projects.

In carrying out our valuation assessment, we have placed reliance upon the average revenue + cost expenses ratios as extracted from Hotel Industry Survey of Operations issued by Horwath HTL (“HHTL Report”); along with the historical operating performance and projected forecast performance prepared by the Client for Travelodge Chinatown Kuala Lumpur.

Typically, being a newly refurbished hotel with a reputable hotel operator, a gestation period (about 3 – 5 years) would be required prior stabilisation of its business operation. As such, in our projection during the holding period, we have normalised the historical revenue + cost ratios gradually back to industry average ratio(s).

Knight Frank’s Hotel Projection

The summary parameters of the revenue and cost assumptions are set out below and overleaf:

Common Parameters
Capitalisation Rate 6.00%.
We have benchmarked against the existing yields of selected hotel buildings reflecting
the current market condition; which are in the region of 5.90% to 6.17%. We have
thus adopted a capitalisation rate / all-risk yield of 6.00%; as in our opinion, it is
the most probable expected rate of return achievable at current moment for the
Subject Property.
Discount Rate (PV) 8.00%.
Discount rate is a risk-weighted factor used to calculate the net present value of the
future cash flows from the asset till the time of exit.
Our interpretation of the discount rate is based on the premise that the value of a dollar
to be received in the future is equal to a dollar today minus some factor to account for
the risk that the future dollar may not materialize (which can also be explained as
opportunity cost, expected return of capital when invested elsewhere). A general way
of determining the discount rate is to adopt the capitalisation rate together with the
long-term growth rate or expected average annual appreciation of the asset.
In general, the long-term growth rate for a particular asset class / sector is
benchmarked against the inflation rate (in circa of 2.5% to 3.8%) as well as the
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of the asset class parameters (such as
Occupancy, ADR, etc). As such, a discount rate of 8.00% is adopted for the Subject
Property; which is about 2.00% higher than the expected rate of return to reflect
additional risk premium of the asset.
Discount Period 5 years.

Summary of Parameters of Knight Frank’s Hotel Projections

Hotel

Projected Average Daily Rate (ADR) Year 1: RM160 to Year 5: RM180.
Projected Occupancy Year 1: 72.0% to Year 5: 80.0%.
Projected FF&E Provision 3.00% of Gross Operating Revenue.
In accordance with the Hotel Management Agreement.

Note: Pursuant to the Supplementary Letter executed as a Deed effective as at 1 July 2020, between MHI MY 1 Sdn Bhd (the “Owner”), MHI MY 1 Pte. Ltd. (the “Immediate Parent”) and Travelodge Hotels (Asia) Pte Ltd (the “Manager”), the Owner has nominated the Immediate Parent to bear the obligation and settle the fees due to and payable to the Manager with respect to Base and License Fee, Incentive Fee, Centralised Services Charges and Sales and Marketing Fee (collectively known as ‘Fees’). As such, we have not taken into consideration the aforementioned fees as part of the expenses in our valuation.

Car Parking Bays

Car Parking Bays
Projected Gross Revenue Year 1: RM120 to Year 5: RM150 per bay per month.
Projected gross revenue of car parking bays is benchmarked against surrounding car
parking rates within Kuala Lumpur City Centre.
Projected Outgoings 15% of Car Parking Revenue.
Commercial / Retail Space(s)
Projected Gross Revenue Year 1: RM11.00 to Year 5: RM12.38 per square foot per month, over
occupied net lettable area respectively.
Projected Occupancy Year 1: 50.0% to Year 5: 95.0%.
Projected Outgoings Year 1: RM1.80 to Year 5: RM2.03 per square foot per month, over total
net lettable area of 4,881 square feet.

No capital expenditure (CAPEX) is projected in our assessment as the Subject Property is a refurbished hotel (approximately 6 years old from the refurbishment / repositioning in 2019).

MARKET VALUE (CONT’D)

Comparison Approach This approach considers the sales of similar or substitute properties and related market data and establishes a value estimate by adjustments made for differences in factors that affect value. In general, a property being valued (Subject Property) is compared with sales of similar properties that have been transacted in the open market. Listings and offers may also be considered. We have identified and analysed the selected sales transactions of hotel buildings and have summarised the details in the table attached below and overleaf:-

MARKET VALUE (CONT’D)

Valuation Rationale

From the above adjusted values, we note that the derived values ranged between RM441,495 per room to RM502,174 per room.

In view of limited recorded transactions of identical hotels in the immediate and surrounding localities, we have resorted to adopt the selected comparable(s) in our assessment by Comparison Approach; as it is not possible to identify exactly alike properties to make reference to, hence appropriate adjustments are made to reflect the differences of the comparable(s) and the property being valued.

With total effective adjustments made for all Comparable(s), we have thus placed greater reliance on Comparable 1 after making diligent adjustments for forced sale condition, location, accessibility, occupancy, building condition / design / finishes / quality and availability of car park.

Having regards to the foregoing, the market value of the hotel derived from the Comparison Approach is RM88,000,000 (analysed to be RM444,444 per room).

Reconciliation of Values

Method of Valuation Derivation of Values
Income Approach by DCF Method 85,000,000
Comparison Approach 88,000,000

Taking into consideration that the Subject Property is a commercial and income generating property, we have adopted the Market Value as derived from the Income Approach by DCF Method / Investment Method as a fair representation for the Subject Property supported by the Market Value derived from the Comparison Approach.

In a valuation of a homogeneous real estate such as vacant lands and residential homes, the Comparison Approach is the most appropriate method of valuation as there are less adjustments and analysis on comparable(s). However, in the case of more complex real estate such as shopping complexes, hotels, office buildings and other income generating or investment properties, qualitative and quantitative adjustments are more difficult to be computed or gauged to reflect the differences of the comparable(s) and the property being valued. Therefore, we have relied upon the Income Approach by DCF Method as the preferred method of valuation in our final opinion of Market Value for the Subject Property
