ANNEXURE A
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Shareholder A
Question (1)
‑ Whether any one off impairment had contributed to the rise in operating costs, given that revenue and gross profit remained flat. Would such one-off costs continue to increase.
Reply
Mr. Stanley Tan explained that there was no impairment recorded for the year. The Group recognised a loss of approximately S$1.2 million from the disposal of property, plant and equipment relating to the closure of the Beijing outlet in China as disclosed in the annual report. This loss was largely offset by the gain on termination of lease of S$1.3 million, resulting in an overall insignificant net impact. ‑ In response to the query on one off operating costs, Mr. Stanley Tan explained that apart from this disposal, other cost items were expected to remain unchanged.
Question (2)
Whether the Group had scheduled to open a new restaurant in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Reply The Chairman shared that a new outlet is scheduled to open in Jakarta, Indonesia, which would be directly operated by the Group under the Jumbo Seafood brand. Question (3)
With reference to the announcement regarding the joint venture with Boustead Industrial Fund (“BIF”) ‑ (“Announcement”), whether BIF is at the discretion of the final decision making authority in the acquisition of the Property (as defined in the Announcement). How the Group foresees its effective control over the joint venture through the acquisition of a 30% stake.
Reply
Mr. Stanley Tan updated that a limited liability partnership (“LLP”) is expected to be established within one month from 30 May 2026 pursuant to the joint venture agreement with BIF. Upon its formation, the LLP is intended to enter into a put and call option agreement with BIF, granting BIF the option to sell to the LLP, and the LLP the option to acquire from BIF the leasehold interest in the Property following the expiry of JTC’s assignment prohibition period ending on 10 April 2033. Upon exercising the option, the Group would ultimately hold 30% interest in the LLP, which in turn would indirectly own approximately 30% of the Property.
Question (4)
Whether the 30% stake would generate any rental income in the near term and if rental income would ‑ start accruing to the Group after the seven year period beginning in 2033.
Reply
Mr. Stanley Tan clarified that the LLP will not receive rental income before the acquisition, as its economic participation would commence only upon exercise of the option. Although the Property is already generating rental income and the Group is currently one of its principal tenants, it was agreed that distributions would flow to the Group only after the acquisition. From that point, such distributions could offset the Group’s ongoing rental expenses for its occupation of the building.
Question (5)
Whether the Company had any plans to upgrade its listing to the SGX Mainboard, noting that the Company had been listed for more than ten years and that its share price had remained relatively stable.
RESTRICTED ##
JUMBO GROUP LIMITED Minutes of Annual General Meeting held on 26 January 2026 Page 10 of 12
Reply
Mr. Stanley Tan noted the suggestion and shared that the Company had briefly explored a transfer to the SGX Mainboard. However, any decision to transfer would be subject to further considerations by the Board. While the Company appears to meet the relevant criteria, the management emphasised that no timeline can be provided at this stage, and the matter will continue to be assessed as part of the Company’s long-term planning.
Question (6)
Why does the Group currently operate only one Chao Ting outlet and whether the Board has any plans to open additional outlets in the future.
Reply The Chairman shared that the Group has plans for expansion. However, the past year was largely focused on the execution of major projects, including building relocations. The establishment of “Jumboree” showed a strategic initiative reflecting the Group’s shift towards strengthening its domestic market presence.
Question (7) The differences between Jumbo Signature and Jumbo Premium, expressing concern that the multiple related brands could lead to customer confusion.
Reply The Chairman addressed concerns about brand confusion by explaining the Group’s tiered branding ‑ strategies and historical concepts. The three tier strategies, i.e. Jumbo Seafood, Jumbo Premium, and Jumbo 87, allows the Group to target different customer segments, price points and dining occasions more effectively.
Shareholder B Question (8) The shareholder expressed a preference for the Company to maintain the status quo, noting concerns about incurring higher operating costs arising from a transfer to the SGX Mainboard. The shareholder also provided feedback on the sequence in which desserts were served at a particular Jumbo Seafood outlet.
Reply The Chairman expressed appreciation for the feedback provided and confirmed that the matter would be reviewed internally to identify areas for improvement.
Shareholder C Question (9) (i) Whether the valuation of the Property reflected the current market valuation or if adjustments were anticipated. (ii) Whether the Group would still be paying additional rental in the meantime. (iii) How much rental escalation the Group had projected over time, resulting in the exercise of the S$20 million investment. (iv) How the Group intended to fund the S$20 million commitment, given that it was a relatively substantial amount involved.
Reply
The Chairman informed that the valuation amount was based on the original purchase price at which BIF acquired the building.

JUMBO GROUP LIMITED Minutes of Annual General Meeting held on 26 January 2026 Page 11 of 12
The Chairman highlighted that the Group occupies over half of the Property for its central kitchen, logistics and training operations, making the site strategically important. Investing in the Property ‑ helps secure long term operational stability, reduce rental risks and avoid potential relocation. It also enables phased capital planning while maintaining existing synergies.
The Chairman also informed that the recent rental increase was approximately 3%. Therefore, to support the long-term planning of the Group, the management identified the Property as a suitable location that provides security of space, pricing and investment value. Its growth potential and proximity to an MRT station further enhance the Property’s appeal.
Mr. Stanley Tan added that the cash outflow for the investment would be funded through internal resources, and that cash flow would be managed over the period leading up to 2033 to ensure sufficient funds were available when needed.
Question (10)
Noted that the Jumbo brand was absent from the online food ‑ ordering platforms in particular area and requested that the Group look into this matter.
Reply
The Chairman thanked the shareholder for the feedback and added that the matter would be reviewed internally by the marketing team.
Question (11)
The rationale of the Group entering into the joint venture to operate a Peking roast duck themed restaurant under the Si Ji Min Fu brand in Singapore.
Reply
The Chairman shared additional context regarding the Group’s joint venture partner, highlighting the strong heritage and popularity of the brand. He explained that the restaurant was well ‑ known for its ‑ authentic Beijing style Peking duck, and that the refreshed concept blends traditional elements with modern touches, making it outstanding to both local diners and tourists in a highly competitive market.
Question (12)
Seeking to understand the scope and nature of the offerings provided under the new catering services business unit.
Reply
The Chairman explained that demand for catering services under the Jumbo Seafood brand had been strong, particularly among corporate clients seeking local seafood offerings such as chilli crab ‑ for large scale events. However, due to limitations in the Group’s existing facilities, they were unable to accommodate larger catering requests. With the move to the new building, the upgraded capacity would enable the Group to capture more opportunities in the catering market.
Question (13)
The Group’s strategy for driving growth in Korea markets.
Reply
The Chairman replied that the Group initially expanded into Korea through franchise arrangement, ‑ but the franchisee was unable to sustain during the COVID 19 pandemic. Thereafter, despite cultural and language challenges, the Group decided to re-enter the Korea market on its own. The Group took over a small, low ‑ cost outlet from the franchisee which was located in the IFC Mall in Seoul and operated a Jumbo Seafood concept with set menus and a limited à la carte selection for direct operations.
RESTRICTED ##
JUMBO GROUP LIMITED Minutes of Annual General Meeting held on 26 January 2026 Page 12 of 12
Over the past year, the outlet’s performance has shown encouraging improvement. If this positive result continues and market conditions remain favourable, the Group may consider to expand in Korea.
Shareholder D Question (14) (i) The rationale of the Group entering into the food court concept segment despite strong competition from existing players. (ii) Whether the upcoming RTS Link, scheduled to begin operations by end of 2026, would have any impact on the Group’s overall business performance.
Reply
The Chairman explained that the Group established “Jumboree” in response to challenges ‑ encountered during the COVID 19 pandemic, which underscored the importance of strengthening its domestic market presence.
On the RTS Link, he acknowledged that while Johor Bahru may offer cost advantages, Singapore maintains structural strengths, such as superior dining environments and service quality which mitigate the competitive impact of the RTS. He added that the Group is monitoring developments closely and will assess potential opportunities in the Johor market.
Question (15)
Is the Group expanding its other brands because Jumbo Seafood had matured and needed diversification and whether all the Group’s brands were profitable, or if most of the profits were coming mainly from Jumbo Seafood.
Reply
The Chairman clarified that Jumbo Seafood is not yet fully saturated in Singapore. The Group also operates a range of concepts, from casual to premium, allowing it to cater to different customer segments. In addition, the Chairman emphasized the Group’s plans to continue growing across ‑ tourist, local and fine dining markets. With Singapore attracting more affluent visitors, the management see strong potential to expand premium seafood and Cantonese dining concepts. Overall, the management believe there are still significant market opportunities and that the Group is hoping to capture further growth.
Question (16)
How the Group decides between entering overseas markets through joint ventures, wholly ‑ owned operations or franchise arrangements.
Reply
The Chairman explained that the Group adopts a flexible overseas expansion strategy tailored to each market. In general, the Group enters new markets through a franchise model, while in selected markets with strong growth potential, the Group may pursue direct management.
