1.3 Legal Adviser

Chevalier Law LLC has been appointed as the legal adviser to the Company as to Singapore law in relation to the preparation of this Circular. No other legal advisers were previously engaged by the Company in relation to this Circular.

2. THE PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE NEW CONSTITUTION

2.1 Introduction

The Existing Constitution was adopted by the Company pursuant to an extraordinary general meeting on 25 September 2017. In connection with the dual primary listing of the Company on the Main Board of the SEHK, the constitution of the Company was then amended to comply with the HK Listing Rules and where applicable, the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Shareholders approved the proposed voluntary withdrawal of the listing of the Company on the Main Board of the SEHK at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 28 July 2025 and the voluntary withdrawal of the listing of the Company on the Main Board of the SEHK took effect at 4:00 p.m. on 4 November 2025.

7

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

As the Company has ceased to be listed on the Main Board of the SEHK pursuant to such voluntary withdrawal being effective at 4:00 p.m. on 4 November 2025, the Company has undertaken a review of the Existing Constitution and is accordingly proposing to adopt the New Constitution, which will replace the Existing Constitution in its entirety, to:

  • (a) remove references to the HK Listing Rules and Hong Kong laws and regulations which are no longer applicable or relevant to the Company; and

  • (b) update the provisions of the Existing Constitution for consistency with all prevailing listing rules set out in the Mainboard Rules since the adoption of the Existing Constitution on 25 September 2017. This is pursuant to Rule 730(2) of the Mainboard Rules which provides that if an issuer amends its constituent documents, they must be made consistent with all the Mainboard Rules prevailing at the time of amendment.

In connection with the aforesaid, the Company confirms that the New Constitution complies with Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules, which sets out provisions which must be contained in the constitution of an issuer listed on the Mainboard of the SGX-ST. In addition, the Company is taking this opportunity to streamline, rationalise and refine the language used in and to amend certain other provisions in the Existing Constitution to add clarity to the provisions of the Existing Constitution, where appropriate.

2.2 Summary of Principal Provisions

Sections 2.3 to 2.5 below set out a summary of the principal provisions of the New Constitution which have been amended or newly added and which are considered significantly different from equivalent provisions in the Existing Constitution, and should be read in conjunction with the proposed New Constitution.

For ease of reference, the text of the Regulations of the New Constitution, which are different from the Existing Constitution, is set out in Appendix II (Proposed Amendments to Existing Constitution (Blacklined)) hereto.

Shareholders are advised to read the New Constitution in its entirety as set out in Appendix I (The New Constitution) hereto before deciding on the special resolution relating to the proposed adoption of the New Constitution.

In this Section 2 , for convenience, the expressions “Regulation” and “Existing Regulation” shall have the meanings set out below.

Expression
Meaning
“Regulation”
Refers to a provision under the New Constitution
“Existing Regulation”
Refers to the relevant cross-reference to the equivalent
provision of the Existing Constitution

2.3 Summary of Key Changes due to the Removal of References to HK Listing Rules and Hong Kong Laws and Regulations

The following amended or new Regulations are proposed such that these provisions would omit references to the HK Listing Rules and Hong Kong laws and regulations and/or adopt wording consistent with the Mainboard Rules.

8

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.3.1 Regulation 2 (Existing Regulation 2)

Regulation 2 is the interpretation section of the New Constitution and has been amended to exclude, among others, definitions under the HK Listing Rules and Hong Kong laws and regulations.

Brief description

The following definitions are excluded:

  • (a) “book-entry securities”

The definition of “book-entry securities” was previously expanded to accommodate dual-listing requirements by including documents of title deposited with a clearing house (in addition to the CDP) for logistics purposes. Following the Company’s delisting from the SEHK, it is proposed for the definition of “book-entry securities” to have the meaning ascribed to it in the SFA.

  • (b) “CDP”, “Depositor”, “Depository Agent” and “Depository Register”

The existing definitions of “CDP”, “Depositor”, “Depository Agent” and “Depository Register” were previously replaced with full definitions to respectively reflect the relevant logistics arrangements for the Company’s dual listing. As the Company is now only listed on the Mainboard of the SGX-ST, it is proposed for the definitions of “Depositor”, “Depository Agent” and “Depository Register” to have the meanings ascribed to them in the SFA. In addition, the definition of “CDP” is deleted and a definition of the expression “Depository” is added to clarify that such expression shall bear the meaning ascribed to it in the SFA.

  • (c) “clearing house”

The definition of “clearing house” which was previously included to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the HK Listing Rules, is deleted in its entirety. Accordingly, all references to “clearing house” in the Existing Constitution are deleted, and all references to “CDP or a clearing house” are replaced with “Depository”.

  • (d) “Designated Stock Exchange”

The definition of “Designated Stock Exchange” be amended to remove reference to the HK Listing Rules.

  • (e) “Direct Account Holder”

The definition of “Direct Account Holder” which was previously included to facilitate compliance with the requirements of the HK Listing Rules, is deleted in its entirety.

  • (f) “Register of Members”

The definition of “Register of Members” be amended to exclude reference to a branch register of members to be maintained at such place within or outside Singapore, which was required to be maintained by the Company in Hong Kong for the Company’s listing on the SEHK.

9

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Brief description

(g) “Registration Office” The definition of “Registration Office”, being such place where the Directors may from time to time determine to keep a branch register of members and the transfers or other documents or titles for such classes of share capital are to be lodged for registration and are to be registered, be deleted in its entirety as the Company will no longer maintain a Hong Kong branch register following the Company’s delisting from the SEHK. Accordingly, all references to “Registration Office” in the Existing Constitution are deleted. (h) “Securities Account”

The definition of “Securities Account” be amended to exclude reference to “clearing house” which was previously included for compliance with the requirements of the HK Listing Rules. (i) “Statutes” The definition of “Statutes” be amended to exclude reference to the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and to include that any reference to any provision of any statute is to the provision as so modified, amended or re-enacted or contained in any such subsequent act or acts.

The expressions “close associate” and “corporate communication” which adopted the meanings ascribed to them respectively in the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited are proposed to be deleted in its entirety.

The references in the New Constitution to “holder” or “holders” of shares or a class of shares are to be updated to exclude reference to “CDP or a clearing house or their respective nominees” and to include “the Depository or its nominee (as the case may be)”.

2.3.2 Regulation 7A (Existing Regulation 7A)

The provision for where warrants are issued to bearer, which was previously included for compliance with paragraph 2(2) of Appendix 3 of the HK Listing Rules, is proposed to be deleted.

2.3.3 Existing Regulation 12A

Existing Regulation 12A, relating to the Company’s lack of power to freeze or otherwise impair any rights attaching to any share by reason only of failure of members to disclose their interests in the Company, which was previously included for compliance with paragraph 12 of Appendix 3 of the HK Listing Rules is proposed to be deleted in its entirety.

10

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.3.4 Regulation 15(B) (Existing Regulation 15(B))

Existing Regulation 15(B), which relates to the Company’s power to purchase its own shares, was previously amended to clarify that where the Company purchases for redemption a redeemable share, purchase not made through the market or by tender shall be limited to a maximum price as may from time to time be determined by the Members in General Meeting, either generally or with regard to specific purchases. If purchases are by tender, tenders shall be available to all Members alike.

It is proposed that such provisions which were for compliance with paragraph 8 of Appendix 3 of the HK Listing Rules be deleted from the New Constitution and such provision in relation to the Company’s power to purchase its own shares be streamlined to be dealt with in accordance with relevant laws.

2.3.5 Regulation 17(A) (Existing Regulation 17(A))

Existing Regulation 17(A), which relates to joint holders of shares, was previously amended to allow the Company to register four persons, instead of three persons, as joint holders of shares, pursuant to paragraph 1(3) of Appendix 3 of the HK Listing Rules. Accordingly, it is proposed that the Existing Regulation 17(A) be amended to reduce the maximum registration of three persons in relation to a share except in the case of executors or trustees of a deceased member, for compliance with paragraph 4(d) of Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules.

2.3.6 Regulation 36 (Existing Regulation 36)

Existing Regulation 36, which relates to the transfer of shares, was previously amended to reflect the logistics arrangements for the transfer of shares in Singapore and in Hong Kong due to the Company’s listing on the SEHK. Such logistics arrangement is proposed to be removed in the New Constitution.

2.3.7 Existing Regulation 41(A)

Existing Regulation 41(A), which relates to the transfer of the Company’s shares between the register of members kept in Singapore and the branch register of members kept in Hong Kong, and vice versa , is deleted in its entirety as the Company does not maintain a branch register of members kept in Hong Kong following its voluntary withdrawal of listing from the Main Board of the SEHK.

2.3.8 Regulation 46 (Existing Regulation 46)

Regulation 46, in relation to the use of the Central Depository System (or a clearing house, as the case may be) is amended to omit references to “clearing house” (which was previously included under the HK Listing Rules). In addition, Existing Regulation 46(a) is deleted in its entirety to streamline Regulation 46, and Existing Regulations 46(b), 46(c) and 46(d) be re-numbered Regulations 46(a), 46(b) and 46(c), respectively.

11

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.3.9 Regulations 73(A), 73(B), 73(C) and 73(D) (Existing Regulations 73(A), 73(B), 73(C) and 73(D))

Existing Regulations 73(A), 73(C) and 73(D), which incorporates the multiple proxies regime in Hong Kong to allow “a clearing house (or its nominee(s))” to appoint more than two proxies to attend, speak and vote at general meetings, is proposed to be amended to exclude references to “a clearing house (or its nominee(s))” in Regulations 73(A), 73(C) and 73(D). Existing Regulation 73(B) which references “CDP or a clearing house” has also been amended to “the Depository” following the removal of the definitions of “CDP” and “clearing house” elaborated at Section 2.3.1(b) of this Circular.

2.3.10 Regulation 74(A) (Existing Regulation 74(A))

Existing Regulation 74(A), which relates to the use of an instrument appointing a proxy, was previously amended to clarify that an instrument appointing a proxy shall not preclude the use of the two-way form, for compliance with paragraph 11(1) of Appendix 3 to the HK Listing Rules.

Regulation 74(A) is amended to exclude such reference to the use of the two-way form, as the Company is no longer listed on the Main Board of the SEHK. Shareholders should also refer to Section 2.5.3 (in relation to the dispensation of the affixation of the common seal) of this Circular for information on the other updates to Existing Regulation 74(A)(b).

2.3.11 Regulations 78A and 78B (Existing Regulations 78A, 78B, 78C and 78D)

Existing Regulations 78A, 78B(B) and 78C, which relate to, among others, an authorisation by a clearing house and the keeping of a branch register of members, were previously inserted pursuant to provisions and requirements of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong). As the Company is no longer listed on the Main Board of the SEHK and is no longer required to comply with Hong Kong laws and regulations, it is proposed for Existing Regulations 78A, 78B(B) and 78C to be deleted in its entirety.

In view of the foregoing deletions, Existing Regulations 78B(A) and 78D shall be re-numbered as Regulation 78A and 78B, respectively.

2.3.12 Regulation 149 (Existing Regulation 149)

Existing Regulation 149, which relates to the sending of the Company’s financial statements and related documents to shareholders, provides that such documents shall be sent not less than 21 days before the date of the general meeting, such timeline for compliance with paragraph 5 of Appendix 3 to the HK Listing Rules.

Regulation 149 is amended to provide for such documents to be sent not less than 14 days before the date of the general meeting of the Company, in accordance with Section 203(2) of the Companies Act.

2.3.13 Regulation 152(A) (Existing Regulation 152(A))

Arising from the deletion of the definition of “corporate communication” to have the meaning ascribed to it in the HK Listing Rules (as referred to in the table set out in Section

12

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.3.1 above), Regulation 152(A) is amended to expressly stipulate and make clear the documents falling within the purview of this Regulation.

2.3.14 Regulation 152(I) (Existing Regulation 152(G))

Regulation 152(I), which relates to the means in which a separate notice shall be given, sent or served to or on a member, is amended to exclude the requirement to advertise in a daily newspaper in English and/or Chinese, in circulation in Hong Kong.

2.3.15 Existing Regulation 155A

Existing Regulation 155A, which provides that any notice or documents (including any corporate communication) may be given to a member either in the English language or the Chinese language, subject to due compliance with the statutes and the listing rules of the designated stock exchange, is deleted in its entirety as this was previously included in the Existing Constitution for the Company’s then listing on the SEHK.

2.3.16 Regulation 159 (Existing Regulation 159)

Regulation 159, which relates to the basis on which shareholders would participate in a distribution of assets on a winding up, is amended to exclude the requirement of the liquidator to give notice to shareholders by advertisement in a leading daily newspaper in circulation in Hong Kong.

2.3.17 Existing Regulation 165

Existing Regulation 165, which relates to conflict of laws as between Singapore and Hong Kong, is deleted in its entirety.

2.4 Summary of Key Changes due to Amendments to the Mainboard Rules since the adoption of the Existing Constitution in 2017

Rule 730(2) of the Mainboard Rules provides that if an issuer amends its articles of association or other constituent documents, they must be made consistent with all Mainboard Rules prevailing at the time of amendment. In compliance with Rule 730(2) of the Mainboard Rules, the following Existing Regulations are proposed to be revised such that these provisions would be consistent with the Mainboard Rules prevailing as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2.4.1 Regulation 7(A) (Existing Regulation 7(A))

Regulation 7(A) has been amended to include that no shares shall be issued to transfer a controlling interest in the Company without the specific prior approval of the Company in a general meeting, in line with Rule 803 of the Mainboard Rules.

2.4.2 Regulations 13(A) and 13(B) (Existing Regulations 13(A) and 13(B))

Regulation 13(B) is proposed to be updated to expressly adopt the wording used in paragraph 5 of Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules.

For the avoidance of doubt, the changes made to Regulation 13(A) are primarily editorial amendments to add clarity to the existing drafting in Existing Regulation 13(A).

2.4.3 Regulation 19(A) (Existing Regulation 19(A))

Regulation 19(A), which relates to, among others, the charge made for share certificates in denominations of a shareholder’s holding, is proposed to be updated to streamline the wording for consistency with paragraph 2 of Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules.

2.4.4 Regulation 20 (Existing Regulation 20)

Regulation 20, which relates to the renewal of share certificates, has been updated to stipulate the sum to be paid to the Company for the renewal of share certificates to be not exceeding S$2.00. This is in line with paragraph 1(g) of Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules (and Section 125(1) of the Companies Act).

2.4.5 Regulation 39(A) (Existing Regulation 39(A))

Regulation 39(A), which relates to the restriction on transfer of shares, has been amended to align with the wording of Rule 732(5) of the Mainboard Rules to provide that the Company shall not refuse to register or fail to register or give effect to any registrable transfer in respect of shares unless (a) the registration of the transfer would result in a contravention of or failure to observe the relevant laws and regulations of the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation or the relevant listing rules, or (b) the transfer is in respect of a partly paid share for which a call has been made and unpaid.

2.4.6 Regulation 51(B) (New Regulation)

Regulation 51(B) is a new provision which gives the Company flexibility to hold its annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings either: (a) at a physical place; or (b) at a physical place and using technology that allows a person to participate in a meeting without being physically present at the place of meeting. Where the general meetings are held physically, Regulation 51(B) also makes clear that such general meetings shall be held in Singapore, unless prohibited or otherwise required by the relevant laws or waived by the SGX-ST.

The addition of Regulation 51(B) is in line with Rule 730A(1) of the Mainboard Rules, Practice Note 7.5 of the Mainboard Rules (which provides guidance on the conduct of general meetings for issuers listed on the Exchange) and Section 173J of the Companies Act introduced by the Companies, Business Trust and Other Bodies (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2023 (such Act amending the Companies Act to provide for, among others, meetings using virtual meeting technology). This provision has been proposed to allow for flexibility by the Company in cases where holding a physical general meeting is impracticable or impossible due to prevailing circumstances. Shareholders should note that the holding of, and participation in, any general meeting by electronic means will be subject to relevant laws, regulations and the rules of the Exchange.

For the avoidance of doubt, in determining the time and place of an annual general meeting pursuant to Regulations 51(A) and 51(B), the Directors are required to comply with Rule 707(1) of Mainboard Rules which stipulates that an issuer must hold its annual general meeting within four months from the end of its financial year, and Rule 730A(1) of the Mainboard Rules, which requires the Company to hold all its general meetings in Singapore, unless prohibited by relevant laws and regulations in the jurisdiction of its incorporation. The Company will also comply with such requirements as relevant under Practice Note 7.5 of the Mainboard Rules.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.4.7 Regulation 64 (Existing Regulation 64)

The first sentence of Existing Regulation 64, which relates to a declaration by the chairperson of the general meeting that a resolution has been, among others, carried, and an entry to that effect in the minutes book being conclusive evidence of that fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded for or against such resolution, is deleted pursuant to Rule 730A(3) of the Mainboard Rules which requires an independent scrutineer to be appointed for each general meeting.

2.4.8 Regulation 68 (Existing Regulation 68(A))

Regulation 68 has been amended to make clear that in the case of joint holders of shares, any one of such persons may vote, but if more than one of such persons is present at a meeting, the person whose name stands first on the Register of Members shall alone be entitled to vote. This is in line with paragraph 8(b) of Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules. Regulation 68 is also amended to make clear that several executors or trustees of a deceased member in whose name any share stands shall be deemed joint holders thereof.

2.4.9 Regulation 70(A) (Existing Regulation 70(A))

Regulation 70(A) has been amended to expressly provide and clarify that a holder of ordinary shares shall be entitled to be present and to vote at any general meeting in respect of any share or shares upon which all calls due to the Company have been paid. This amendment is in line with paragraph 8(a) of Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules.

2.4.10 Regulation 73(F) (Existing Regulation 73(F))

Regulation 73(F) is amended to include that a proxy shall be entitled to vote on any matter at a general meeting of the Company. This is in line with paragraph 8(e) of Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules.

2.4.11 Regulation 99 (Existing Regulation 99)

Existing Regulation 99 stipulates that “if an independent non-executive Director serves [for] more than nine years, his further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders of the Company at a general meeting”. This was pursuant to the two-tier vote mechanism for issuers to retain long-serving independent directors permitted under Rule 210(5)(d)(iii) of the Mainboard Rules (version effective from 1 January 2022 to 10 January 2023).

Following the deletion of Rule 210(5)(d)(iii) and the insertion of Rule 210(5)(d)(iv) of the Mainboard Rules (current version as at the Latest Practicable Date, effective on 11 January 2023), a director will not be independent if he has been a director of the issuer for an aggregate period of more than nine years (whether before or after listing). Such director may continue to be considered independent until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the issuer.

Accordingly, Regulation 99 is amended to delete the provision for the further appointment of an independent non-executive Director who has served for more than nine years to be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders of the Company at a general meeting. Regulation 99 is also amended to make clear that a retiring Director shall retain office until the close of the general meeting of the Company at which he retires.

2.4.12 Regulation 111 (Existing Regulation 111)

Regulation 111 has been amended to expressly provide that where only two directors are present at a meeting of the directors and form a quorum or when only two directors are competent to vote on the questions in issue, the chairperson of the meeting shall not have a second or casting vote. This amendment is in line with paragraph 9(m) of Appendix 2.2 of the Mainboard Rules.

2.4.13 Regulations 152(B) and 152(C) (Existing Regulation 152(B))

Regulations 152(B) and 152(C), which relate to the use of electronic communications and express consent from shareholders, respectively, are amended to add clarity and track the wording of Rule 1208 of the Mainboard Rules which provides that an issuer may send documents, including notices, circulars and annual reports, using electronic communications to a shareholder, if there is express consent from that shareholder.

The Company regards express consent as being given where a shareholder expressly agrees with the Company that the shareholder consents to have notices and documents transmitted to him/her/it via electronic communications.

2.4.14 Regulations 152(D) and 152(E) (Existing Regulations 152(C) and 152(D))

Regulations 152(D) and 152(E), relating to the implied and deemed consent from shareholders for the use of electronic communications, respectively, are amended to add clarity and track the wording of Rules 1209(2) and 1209(1) of the Mainboard Rules, respectively.

Pursuant to Rule 1209 of the Mainboard Rules:

  • (a) there is implied consent from shareholders if the constitution: (i) provides for the use of electronic communications and specifies the manner in which electronic communications is to be used; and (ii) provides that shareholders shall agree to receive such document by way of such electronic communications and shall not have a right to elect to receive physical copies of such notices and documents; and

  • (b) there is deemed consent from shareholders if, (a) the constitution: (i) provides for the use of electronic communications and specifies the manner in which electronic communications is to be used; and (ii) specifies that shareholders will be given an opportunity to elect within a specified period of time, whether to receive such document by way of electronic communications or as a physical copy, and (b) the issuer has separately notified the shareholder directly in writing on at least one occasion of the following: (i) that the shareholder has a right to elect, within a time specified in the notice from the issuer, whether to receive documents in either electronic or physical copies; (ii) that if the shareholder does not make an election, documents will be sent to the shareholder by way of electronic communications; (iii) the manner in which electronic communications will be used is the manner specified in the constitution or other constituent document of the issuer; (iv) that the election is a standing election, but that the shareholder may make a fresh election at any time; and (v) until the shareholder makes a fresh election, the election that is conveyed to the issuer last in time prevails over all previous elections as the shareholder’s valid and subsisting election in relation to all documents to be sent.

2.4.15 Regulation 152(H) (Existing Regulation 152(G))

Regulation 152(H) is added for clarity and to provide for certain safeguards in the case of service on a website pursuant to Regulation 152(B)(b). In such a case, the Company shall give separate physical notice to the member of, among others, in addition to the requirements in the Existing Regulation 152(G), (if the notice or document is not available on the website on the date of notification) the date on which such notice or document will be available, the address of the website, and how the notice or document may be accessed. This is in line with Rule 1212 of the Mainboard Rules.

Rule 1212 of the Mainboard Rules provides that if an issuer uses website publication as the form of electronic communications, the issuer shall separately provide a physical notification to shareholders notifying of the following:

  • (a) the publication of the document on the website;

  • (c) the address of the website;

  • (d) the place on the website where the document may be accessed; and

  • (e) how to access the document.

2.4.16 Regulations 152(J) and 152(K) (New Regulations)

Rule 1211 of the Mainboard Rules provides that when an issuer uses electronic communications to send a document to a shareholder, the issuer shall inform the shareholder as soon as practicable of how to request a physical copy of that document from the issuer, and the issuer shall provide a physical copy of that document upon such request. This is provided for in the new Regulation 152(J) of the New Constitution which stipulates for the Company to separately provide a physical notification to members as soon as practicable of how to request a physical copy of that notice or document from the Company.

Rule 1210 of the Mainboard Rules provides that an issuer shall send the following documents to shareholders by way of physical copies: (a) forms or acceptance letters that shareholders may be required to complete; (b) notice of meetings, excluding circulars or letters referred in that notice; (c) notices and documents relating to takeover offers and rights issues; and (d) notices under Rules 1211 and 1212 of the Mainboard Rules.

Accordingly, in line with the above requirements, Regulation 152(K) provides that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions in Regulation 152, the Company shall comply with the provisions of the listing rules and any other applicable laws relating to communications with members, including any requirements to send specific documents to members by way of physical copies.

Shareholders who do not agree to the electronic communications regime proposed in the New Constitution are advised to vote against the Proposed Adoption of the New Constitution.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.5 Summary of Other Key Proposed Amendments

The following Regulations have been updated, streamlined and rationalised generally, or included in the New Constitution:

2.5.1 Regulation 2 (Existing Regulation 2)

A new provision stating that the expressions referring to signing shall be construed as including references to digital signatures and electronic signatures (including secure electronic signatures) that are referred to and defined in the Electronic Transactions Act 2010 of Singapore. This clarifies the applicability of the provisions of such legislation to the New Constitution and facilitates the digital and electronic execution of documents by the Company.

The provision also states that the expressions referring to notices and documents shall be construed as including references to electronic versions of notices and documents and electronic records as defined in the Electronic Transactions Act 2010 of Singapore. This clarifies that all references to notices and documents in the New Constitution are not limited to physical notices and documents.

2.5.2 Regulation 10(B) (Existing Regulation 10)

Existing Regulation 10, which relates to the Company’s power to pay commissions or brokerage on any issue of shares, is amended to include a new sub-regulation to reflect that any expenses incurred directly by the Company in the issue of new shares may be paid out of the proceeds of the issue or the Company’s share capital, and such payment shall not be taken as reducing the amount of share capital in the Company. This is in line with Section 67 of the Companies Act.

2.5.3 Regulation 16 (Existing Regulation 16)

Regulation 16 provides for the requirements of share certificates. The details which must be specified on a share certificate (such as the number and class of shares in respect of which such certificate is issued) and the requirement for such share certificate to be issued under the common seal of the Company have been removed and replaced with a general provision that every share certificate shall be issued in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act.

Under Section 123(2) of the Companies Act, a share certificate is to be issued under the common seal of the Company. However, pursuant to Section 41C, read with Section 41A and Section 41B, of the Companies Act, the affixation of the common seal to a share certificate may be dispensed with provided that the share certificate is signed in the following manner:

  • (a) on behalf of the Company by a Director and a secretary of the Company;

  • (b) on behalf of the Company by at least 2 Directors; or

  • (c) on behalf of the Company by a Director in the presence of a witness who attests the signature.

18

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Pursuant to Section 123(2) of the Companies Act, a share certificate will need to state, among others, the class of the shares, whether the shares are fully or partly paid up, and the amount (if any) unpaid on the shares.

2.5.4 Regulation 33 (Existing Regulation 33)

Regulation 33 has been amended to clarify that for the Directors to exercise the power of sale of any shares subject to the Company’s lien, no notice is required to be given in respect of members who have died or become mentally disordered and incapable of managing himself or his affairs or become bankrupt, and no person has given to the Company satisfactory proof of his right to effect a transmission of the shares held by such member.

2.5.5 Regulation 41(a) (Existing Regulation 41)

Existing Regulation 41, which relates to the Company’s power to destroy instruments of transfer after a specified period of time, has been amended to include the requirement for the Company to adequately record for future reference the information required to be contained in any company records. This is in line with Section 395(1) of the Companies Act.

2.5.6 Regulation 51(A) (Existing Regulation 51)

Existing Regulation 51, which relates to the holding of annual general meetings of the Company, is amended to make editorial and clarificatory changes only, without any material change to the substance or effect of the provision.

2.5.7 Regulations 60 and 61 (Existing Regulations 60 and 61)

Save for the replacement of the reference from “chairman” to “chairperson”, there are no amendments to Existing Regulation 60. Regulation 60, which addresses the adjournment of a general meeting where a quorum is met, provides that the chairperson of any such general meetings may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn the meeting but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. Where the general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more or sine die (that is, with no appointed date for resumption), not less than seven days’ notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in like manner as in the case of the original meeting.

Regulation 61, which relates to the giving of notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned general meeting, is amended to be subject to any requirements of the Mainboard Rules or the SGX-ST from time to time to safeguard shareholders’ right to notice to such adjournment of a general meeting, where required.

The Company expects that Regulation 60 would rarely be invoked, and are of the view that shareholders’ interests are still protected in such circumstances as such adjournment would likely have been made with consent of shareholders or as they may direct. The business transacted at the adjourned meeting (which shareholders had consented to) must also only relate to such business at the original meeting (and not any new business).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in the New Constitution, as way of practice, the Company also expects/intends to release announcements pertaining to information on the

19

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

adjourned time and venue for a general meeting (whether in the form of minutes or otherwise) so as to ensure that all shareholders, including those shareholders who may not have attended such general meeting which was adjourned, are duly informed of the adjourned time and venue of the general meeting.

2.5.8 Regulations 67(A), 67(B), 67(C) and 67(D) (Existing Regulations 67(A) and 67(B))

Existing Regulation 67 (consisting of Existing Regulations 67(A) and 67(B)), which relates to the entitlement of members to speak and vote at general meetings, have been re-organised into further sub-regulations for clarity. Regulation 67(A) has been amended to remove references to “clearing house (or its nominee(s))” per Section 2.3.1(c) above. Regulations 67(B) and 67(C) are re-numbered from Existing Regulations 67(A) and 67(B).

Regulation 67(D) (Existing Regulation 67(B)) is amended to clarify, among others, the treatment of the instrument of proxy where a Depositor has apportioned its shares between two or more proxies. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no change to the number of hours before the relevant general meeting that a Depositor’s name has to appear on the Depository Register maintained by the Depository for such Depositor to be entitled to attend the said general meeting and to speak and vote thereat. This is in line with Section 81SJ(4) of the SFA.

2.5.9 Regulation 98 (Existing Regulation 98)

Existing Regulation 98 provides that the total number of Directors shall not exceed the maximum number of Directors fixed by or in accordance with the Existing Constitution. There is, however, no maximum number of Directors fixed by (or in accordance with) the Existing Constitution. The reference in Regulation 98 (Existing Regulation 98) that the total number of Directors shall not exceed the maximum number fixed by or in accordance with the Constitution has been removed.

2.5.10 Regulation 121 (Existing Regulation 121)

Regulation 121, which relates to the general powers of the Directors to manage the Company’s business, is amended to add clarity and simplify the drafting of such Regulation.

2.5.11 Regulation 160 (Existing Regulation 160)

Regulation 160, which relates to, among others, Directors’ indemnification, has been amended to provide that every Director, auditor, secretary or other officer of the Company shall be entitled to be indemnified against, among others, all losses or liabilities incurred or to be incurred, unless such loss or liability shall attach to him in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust save as otherwise permitted under sections 172A and 172B of the Companies Act, in line with section 172(2) of the Companies Act.

Section 172A of the Companies Act provides that section 172(2) of the Companies Act does not prevent a company from purchasing and maintaining for an officer of the company insurance against any such liability attaching to him or her in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company.

20

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Section 172B of the Companies Act allows a company to indemnify any officer of the company against any liability incurred by him to a third party save for certain circumstances, including but not limited to, the officer being required to pay a fine in criminal proceedings or incurring liability in connection with defending civil proceedings brought by the company or a related company in which judgment is given against him or her.

3. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LHN PSP 2025

3.1 Introduction

The LHN PSP 2025 was adopted at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 24 January 2025. The Company was then listed on both the Mainboard of the SGX-ST and the Main Board of the SEHK. To comply with the requirements of the HK Listing Rules in connection with the Company’s dual-listing, certain provisions were included in the rules of the LHN PSP 2025, including specific share grant limits, definitions and obligations prescribed under the HK Listing Rules.

As announced by the Company on 3 November 2025, the Company’s voluntary withdrawal from listing on the SEHK became effective at 4:00 p.m. on 4 November 2025. Following such voluntary withdrawal, the Company is proposing certain amendments to the rules of the LHN PSP 2025 to remove references to, and provisions that were originally included to comply with, the applicable requirements of the HK Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the LHN PSP 2025, the Company does not have in place any other share option scheme, performance share plan or share incentive scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Awards have been granted to any Director, controlling shareholder or their respective associates under the LHN PSP 2025.

3.2 Approval in-principle from the SGX-ST

The SGX-ST has on 29 December 2025 granted in-principle approval for the listing and quotation of the New Shares to be issued in connection with the LHN PSP 2025 (in accordance with the amended LHN PSP 2025 Rules) on the Mainboard of the SGX-ST, subject to independent Shareholders’ approval being obtained for the proposed amendments to the LHN PSP 2025 and the Company’s compliance with SGX-ST’s listing requirements and guidelines.

Shareholders should note that the approval in-principle from the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the LHN PSP 2025, the New Shares, the Company and/or its subsidiaries, and/or the modifications to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules.

21

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

3.3 Amendment condition

The amendments to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules are conditional upon the passing of a resolution at a general meeting of the Company to approve the amendments to such rules.

3.4 Summary of Proposed Amendments to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules

The following is a summary of the proposed amendments to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules. Capitalised terms and phrases in this section, unless otherwise defined in this Circular, shall have the same meaning as when used in the LHN PSP 2025 Rules.

Shareholders should refer to Appendix III for the full text of the proposed amendments to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules.

  • 3.4.1 References to HK Listing Rules and Hong Kong laws and regulations

All references to, and requirements under, the HK Listing Rules and Hong Kong laws and regulations in the LHN PSP 2025 Rules, which are no longer applicable to the Company, shall be deleted from the LHN PSP 2025 Rules. This includes:

  • (a) the proposed deletion of the defined terms “connected person”, “Hong Kong”, “HK Listing Rules”, “Market Value”, “SEHK”, “SFO” and “substantial shareholder”. For the defined term “Independent Director”, the deletion is proposed as such term is used in Rules 8.4 and 8.5 of the LHN PSP 2025 Rules which are deleted (see Section 3.4.4 for explanation for such deletion); and

  • (b) the proposed deletion of Rule 4.5 of the LHN PSP 2025 Rules which refers to the HK Listing Rule requirement for grant of Awards to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of a listed issuer, or any of their respective associates, under a scheme of the listed issuer to be approved by the independent non-executive directors of the listed issuer (excluding any independent non-executive director who is the grantee of the options or awards). A corresponding amendment is also made to Rule 4.4 of the LHN PSP 2025 Rules to delete the requirement for approval by independent non-executive directors of the Company at the relevant time. Under Rule 853 of the Mainboard Rules, the participation in a scheme by controlling shareholders and their associates, and the actual number and terms of the awards granted to such persons of are subject to approval of independent shareholders of the Company in separate resolutions. Such amended LHN PSP 2025 Rules comply with Rule 853 of the Mainboard Rules. In any event, Shareholders should note that in accordance with Rule 10 of the LHN PSP Rules, the LHN PSP 2025 (including the grant of Awards thereunder) is administered by the Committee which comprises entirely of independent Directors.

3.4.2 Eligibility of Participants in the LHN PSP 2025

It is proposed that Rule 4.6 of the LHN PSP 2025 Rules relating to the eligibility of a “connected person” to participate in the LHN PSP 2025 Rules be removed as the term in the LHN PSP 2025 was adopted with the meaning ascribed to it under the HK Listing Rules and was to meet the relevant requirements under the HK Listing Rules on limits on the size of Awards be granted to such “connected person”. With the Company ceasing to be listed on the Main Board of the SEHK, such requirements will no longer apply to the Company,

22

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

and it is proposed that the LHN PSP 2025 be simplified so long as the size of Awards to be granted to any eligible persons comply with the Mainboard Rules.

3.4.3 Removal of the Minimum Vesting Period

The reference in Rules 5.4(e) and 7.2 of the LHN PSP 2025 Rules for any vesting period applicable to an Award to be not less than 12 months arises from the HK Listing Rules. To give the Company the flexibility to structure Awards to be granted under the LHN PSP 2025, it is proposed that such requirement for a minimum vesting period of Awards in Rules 5.4(e) and 7.2 be removed. Consequential amendments are also made to Rule 7.2 of the LHN PSP 2025 arising from such removal.

3.4.4 Size of the LHN PSP 2025

Under the LHN PSP 2025 Rules, the total number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to the Awards granted under all share schemes of the Company (including the Plan and any other share schemes that the company may adopt from time to time, if any) shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Shares held by the Company as treasury shares and subsidiary holdings from time to time) as at the adoption date of the LHN PSP 2025. Such limit is based on the requirements of the HK Listing Rules, which in the Company’s view then, imposes a smaller limit compared to the limit specified in the Mainboard Rules.

Accordingly, the Company proposes that the size of the LHN PSP 2025 set out in Rule 8 of the LHN PSP 2025 Rules be amended to be in line with the limits set out in Rule 845 of the Mainboard Rules. Consequentially, Rules 8.2 to 8.5 of the existing LHN PSP 2025 Rules, which relate to scheme limits required by the HK Listing Rules, are proposed to be deleted in their entirety. Shareholders should note that the foregoing amendments, once effective, will increase the size of the LHN PSP 2025 from the current 10%-limit (based on the total number of issued Shares as at the adoption date of the LHN PSP 2025 and excluding Shares held by the Company as treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) to 15% of the total number of issued Shares from time to time (excluding Shares held by the Company as treasury shares and subsidiary holdings).

Assuming there is no change to the number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares which may be issued in respect of all Awards to be granted under the LHN PSP 2025 and any other share schemes of the Company is 64,111,161 Shares (which represents 15.0% of the total issued and outstanding Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date of 427,407,742 Shares). As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Awards have been granted under the LHN PSP 2025. The new scheme limit will apply entirely to the LHN PSP 2025 and for so long as the LHN PSP 2025 remains as the Company’s only adopted share scheme.

3.4.5 Maximum Entitlements for certain categories of Participants

Rules 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 of the existing LHN PSP 2025 Rules require any grant of Awards to certain categories of Participants that will cross the 1% limit or 0.1% limit (whichever applies to such category of Participants) to be subject to approval of independent Shareholders. Such threshold limits were to comply with the HK Listing Rules and are now proposed to be deleted in the amended LHN PSP 2025 Rules. This will simplify the process for when the Committee will have to determine if the grant of an Award will trigger the requirement for independent Shareholders’ approval.

23

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

For Shareholders, the deletion of such threshold limits may mean that the size of Awards to be granted to certain categories of Participants (that were previously subject to such threshold limits mandated under the HK Listing Rules) may now be increased, albeit such grant of Awards will still have to comply with requirements under the Mainboard Rules.

In accordance with Rule 845 of the Mainboard Rules, Rule 8.2 of the amended LHN PSP 2025 Rules (or Rule 8.6 of the existing LHN PSP 2025 Rules) provides that no Award will be granted to a Participant if such grant will result in:

  • (a) the total number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the LHN PSP 2025 to Participants who are controlling shareholders of the Company and their associates to exceed 25% of the Shares available under the LHN PSP 2025;

  • (b) the number of Shares which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the LHN PSP 2025 to each Participant who is a controlling shareholder of the Company or his associate to exceed 10% of the Shares available under the LHN PSP 2025; or

  • (c) any other limits on the size of the LHN PSP 2025 and the maximum entitlement of any category of Participant to exceed the limits or restrictions set out in the Mainboard Rules.

For Shareholders’ reference, the only modifications being proposed in Rule 8.2 of the LHN PSP 2025 Rules (or Rule 8.6 of the existing LHN PSP 2025 Rules) are to remove the reference to the previous dual listing status of the Company and other editorial amendments. No change is being proposed to the main body of such Rule which complies with Rule 845 of the Mainboard Rules.

3.4.6 Adjustment Events

Rule 9.1 of the LHN PSP Rules 2025 is proposed to be amended to remove the reference to “capitalisation issue” (which is a defined term under the HK Listing Rules) as an adjustment event and to track the language and framework of Rule 850 of the Mainboard Rules. This adds clarity to Rule 9.1 of the LHN PSP Rule 2025 and its compliance with Rule 850 of the Mainboard Rules.

3.4.7 Amendments and/or Modifications to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules

In connection with the amendments to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules proposed in Section 3.4.1 of this Circular, it is proposed for any amendment or modification to the provisions relating to the matters set out in Rule 17.03 of the HK Listing Rules requiring prior approval to be obtained in a general meeting be removed.

Accordingly, amendments are proposed to Rule 18 of the LHN PSP 2025 Rules to track the annual report disclosure requirements under Rule 852 of the Mainboard Rules.

4. PARTICIPATION BY KELVIN LIM AND JESS LIM, BEING CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY AS AT THE LATEST PRACTICABLE DATE, IN THE LHN PSP 2025 (AS GOVERNED BY THE AMENDED PSP RULES)

In connection with the proposed amendments to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules, the Company will also be seeking Shareholders’ approval for the participation of Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim in the LHN PSP 2025 (should the amendments to the LHN PSP 2025 Rules be approved by independent Shareholders at the EGM).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim are controlling shareholders of the Company by virtue of their direct and/or deemed interests in the Shares of the Company. Shareholders may refer to Section 5 of this Circular for more details on the shareholding interests of Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim and their respective associates.

The Directors (excluding Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim) are of the view that both Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim have contributed substantially to the Group’s development and that their continued contribution to the Group is an important factor for the further growth and success of the Group. Accordingly, the Directors (excluding Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim) are of the view that the participation by Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim in the LHN PSP 2025 will give due recognition for their services and contributions to the growth and development of the Group. The foregoing is also consistent with the Company’s objectives to motivate employees to optimise their performance standards and efficiency which is vital to the success of the Company and the Group.

26

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

equally entitled, with the other employees who are not controlling shareholders, to take part in and benefit from this compensation plan, thereby enhancing their long-term commitment to the Company.

Shareholders should note that for compliance with Rule 853 of the Mainboard Rules and for so long as Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim are controlling shareholders or associates of controlling shareholders of the Company, the Company will seek further approval from independent Shareholders’ for a separate resolution to approve the actual number and terms of the Awards to be granted to Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim, as and when there is any intention for Awards to be granted to them.

Notes:

  • (1) The percentage is calculated based on 427,407,742 Shares issued as at the Latest Practicable Date.

  • (2) Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim are siblings. They are therefore deemed interested in each other’s interests in the Shares.

  • (3) Trident Trust Company (B.V.I.) Limited, a licensed trust company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“ BVI ”), holds the entire issued and paid-up share capital in LHN Capital Pte. Ltd. as trustee of The Land Banking Trust in BVI. LHN Capital Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated in Singapore, is the trustee of The LHN Capital Trust in Singapore. LHN Capital Pte. Ltd. holds the entire issued and paid-up share capital in HN Capital Ltd., a company incorporated in BVI. The Land Banking Trust is a discretionary purpose trust with no beneficiaries. The LHN Capital Trust is a discretionary irrevocable trust which the trustee, LHN Capital Pte. Ltd., has all powers in relation to the property comprised in The LHN Capital Trust as the legal owner of such property, subject to any express restrictions contained in The LHN Capital Trust. The beneficial owners of the property in the trust fund are the beneficiaries of The LHN Capital Trust which comprise Foo Siau Foon, Kelvin Lim and Kelvin Lim’s direct lineal issues (the “ LHN Capital Trust Beneficiaries ”) by virtue of being included in the class of beneficiaries under The LHN Capital Trust. It is

27

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

to be noted that The LHN Capital Trust is a fully discretionary trust and none of Foo Siau Foon and Kelvin Lim’s direct lineal issues have been vested with indefeasible entitlement whether in possession or in reversion or otherwise. Trident Trust Company (Singapore) Pte. Limited is the trust administrator of The LHN Capital Trust.

LHN Holdings Ltd has a direct interest in 234,396,253 Shares.

As Trident Trust Company (B.V.I.) Limited and its associates are entitled to exercise control of not less than 20.0% of the votes attached to the voting shares in LHN Holdings Ltd, Trident Trust Company (B.V.I.) Limited is deemed to have an interest in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company held by LHN Holdings Ltd.

  • (4) LHN Capital Pte. Ltd. is the trustee appointed to (and holds the deemed interest in the 234,396,253 Shares for the benefit of) The LHN Capital Trust, established as a full discretionary trust. Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim are directors of LHN Capital Pte. Ltd., HN Capital Ltd. and Hean Nerng Group Pte. Ltd. respectively. In connection with note (3) above, as each of LHN Capital Pte. Ltd., HN Capital Ltd. and Hean Nerng Group Pte. Ltd. and their respective associates are entitled to exercise control of not less than 20.0% of the votes attached to the voting shares in LHN Holdings Ltd, each of LHN Capital Pte. Ltd., HN Capital Ltd. and Hean Nerng Group Pte. Ltd. is deemed to have an interest in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company held by LHN Holdings Ltd.

  • (5) In connection with note (3) above and pursuant to Section 4(3) of the SFA, the LHN Capital Trust Beneficiaries are deemed to have an interest in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company held by LHN Holdings Ltd.

Notwithstanding that each of Foo Siau Foon and Kelvin Lim’s direct lineal issues, being a beneficiary of The LHN Capital Trust, is deemed to be interested in 15.0% or more of the voting shares of the Company, each of them only receives an economic benefit under The LHN Capital Trust but has no control over the property comprised in The LHN Capital Trust and also does not, in fact, have any voting rights in or exercise control over the Company. Accordingly, pursuant to the definition of a controlling shareholder in relation to a corporation in the Fourth Schedule of the Securities and Futures (Offers of Investments) (Securities and Securities-based Derivatives Contracts) Regulations 2018 of Singapore, it is not meaningful to consider them as controlling shareholders of the Company.

However, Foo Siau Foon and each of Kelvin Lim’s direct lineal issues are considered substantial shareholders of the Company because they are deemed interested in the Shares held by LHN Holdings Ltd, being not less than 5.0% of the total votes attached to all the voting shares of the Company.

Both Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim are directors of LHN Capital Pte. Ltd., HN Capital Ltd., Hean Nerng Group Pte. Ltd., LHN Holdings Ltd and the Company respectively. Accordingly, each of Kelvin Lim and Jess Lim is deemed to be able to exercise control over the Company and is deemed to be a controlling shareholder of the Company.

Save for their respective shareholding interests in the Company and save for Kelvin Lim’s and Jess Lim’s directorships/positions as well as interests as disclosed in Section 5 of this Circular, none of the Directors or their associates or, as far as the Company is aware, the substantial shareholders of the Company or their associates, has any interest, direct or indirect, in the resolutions being proposed in this Circular.

(D) If by the conditions of allotment of any shares the whole or any part of the amount of the issue price thereof shall be payable by instalments every such instalment shall, when due, be paid to the Company by the person who for the time being shall be the registered holder of the share or his personal representatives, but this provision shall not affect the liability of any allottee who may have agreed to pay the same.

  7. 7A. Subject to the Statutes, this Constitution and the Listing Rules, the Board may issue warrants to subscribe for any class of shares or other securities of the Company and such warrants may be issued on such terms as the Board may from time to time determine.

I-6

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  1. The Company shall not exercise any right in respect of treasury shares other than as provided by the Act. Subject thereto, the Company may hold or deal with its treasury shares in the manner authorised by, or prescribed pursuant to, the Act and the Listing Rules.

  2. (A) Subject to any direction to the contrary that may be given by the Company in General Meeting or except permitted by the Listing Rules, all new shares shall before issue be offered to such persons who as at the date (as determined by the Directors) of the offer are entitled to receive notices from the Company of General Meetings in proportion, as far as the circumstances admit, to the number of the existing shares to which they are entitled. The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered, and limiting a time within which the offer, if not accepted, will be deemed to be declined, and, after the expiration of that time, or on the receipt of an intimation from the person to whom the offer is made that he declines to accept the shares offered, the Directors may dispose of those shares in such manner as they think most beneficial to the Company. The Directors may likewise so dispose of any new shares which (by reason of the ratio which the new shares bear to shares held by persons entitled to an offer of new shares) cannot, in the opinion of the Directors, be conveniently offered under this Regulation.

  3. (B) Notwithstanding Regulation 9(A) above, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution in General Meeting give to the Directors a general authority, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as may be specified in the Ordinary Resolution, to:

    • (a) (i) issue shares in the capital of the Company (“shares”) whether by way of rights, bonus or otherwise; and/or

      • (ii) make or grant offers, agreements or options (collectively, “Instruments”) that might or would require shares to be issued, including but not limited to the creation and issue of (as well as adjustments to) warrants, debentures or other instruments convertible into shares; and
    • (b) (notwithstanding the authority conferred by the Ordinary Resolution may have ceased to be in force) issue shares in pursuance of any Instrument made or granted by the Directors while the Ordinary Resolution was in force,

Provided that:

  • (1) the aggregate number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Ordinary Resolution (including shares to be issued in pursuance of Instruments made or granted pursuant to the Ordinary Resolution) shall be subject to such limits and manner of calculation as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange;

  • (2) in exercising the authority conferred by the Ordinary Resolution, the Company shall comply with the provisions of the Listing Rules for the time being in force (unless such compliance is waived by the Designated Stock Exchange) and this Constitution; and

  • (3) (unless revoked or varied by the Company in General Meeting) the authority conferred by the Ordinary Resolution shall not continue in force beyond the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company next following the passing of the Ordinary Resolution, or the date by which such Annual General

I-7

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

Meeting of the Company is required by law to be held, or the expiration of such other period as may be prescribed by the Listing Rules and the Statutes (whichever is the earliest).

  • (C) The Company may, notwithstanding Regulations 9(A) and 9(B) above, authorise the Directors not to offer new shares to Members to whom by reason of foreign securities laws, such offers may not be made without registration of the shares or a prospectus or other document, but, subject to the Listing Rules and the Statutes, to sell the entitlements to the new shares on behalf of such Members on such terms and conditions as the Company may direct.

  • (A) The Company may pay commissions or brokerage on any issue of shares at such rate or amount and in such manner as the Directors may deem fit. Such commissions or brokerage may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the allotment of fully or partly paid shares or partly in one way and partly in the other.

  • (B) Any expenses (including commissions or brokerage) incurred directly by the Company in the issue of new shares may be paid out of the proceeds of the issue or the Company’s share capital. Such payment shall not be taken as reducing the amount of share capital in the Company.

  • Where any shares are issued for the purpose of raising money to defray the expenses of the construction of any works or buildings or the provision of any plant which cannot be made profitable for a lengthened period, the Company may pay interest on so much of that share capital (except treasury shares) as is for the time being paid up for the period and charge the interest so paid to capital as part of the cost of the construction of the works or buildings or the provision of the plant, subject to the conditions and restrictions mentioned in the Act.

  • (A) Preference shares may be issued subject to such limitations thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange. Preference shareholders shall have the same rights as ordinary shareholders as regards receiving of notices, reports, balance sheets and financial statements and attending General Meetings of the Company, and preference shareholders shall also have the right to vote at any General Meeting convened for the purpose of reducing the capital, or winding-up, or sanctioning a sale of the undertaking of the Company, or where the proposal to be submitted to the General Meeting directly affects their rights and privileges or when the dividend on the preference shares is more than six months (or such period which may be prescribed or waived by any applicable law or the Designated Stock Exchange) in arrears.

  • (B) The Company has the power to issue further preference capital ranking equally with, or in priority to, preference shares already issued, subject to the provisions of these Regulations.

VARIATION OF RIGHTS

  1. (A) Whenever the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, the special rights attached to any class (unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of that class) may, subject to the provisions of the Statutes and the Listing Rules, be varied or abrogated with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate General Meeting of the holders of the shares of the class (but

I-8

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

not otherwise) and may be so varied or abrogated either whilst the Company is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a winding-up. To every such separate General Meeting (but subject to the Listing Rules), all the provisions of this Constitution relating to General Meetings of the Company and to the proceedings thereat shall mutatis mutandis apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be two or more persons holding at least one-third of the voting rights of the issued shares of the class present in person or by proxy or attorney and that any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy or attorney may demand a poll and that every such holder shall on a poll have one vote for every share of the class held by him, Provided Always that where the necessary majority for such a Special Resolution is not obtained at such General Meeting, the consent in writing, if obtained from the holders of three-quarters of the total voting rights of the issued shares of the class concerned within two months of such General Meeting, shall be as valid and effectual as a Special Resolution carried at such General Meeting.

  • (B) The repayment of preference capital other than redeemable preference capital, or any alteration of preference shareholders’ rights, may only be made pursuant to a Special Resolution of the preference shareholders concerned Provided Always that where the necessary majority for such a Special Resolution is not obtained at the General Meeting, consent in writing if obtained from the holders of three-fourths of the preference shares concerned within two months of the General Meeting, shall be as valid and effectual as a special resolution carried at the General Meeting.

  • (C) The special rights attached to any class of shares having preferential or other rights shall not unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue thereof be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking as regards to participation in the profits or assets of the Company in some or all respects pari passu therewith but in no respect in priority thereto.

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

  1. (A) The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

    • (a) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital;

    • (b) subject to the provisions of the Statutes and this Constitution, sub-divide its shares, or any of them, Provided Always that in such sub-division the proportion between the amount paid and the amount (if any) unpaid on each reduced share shall be same as it was in the case of the original share from which the sub-divided share is derived;

    • (c) subject to the provisions of the Statutes and this Constitution, convert its share capital or any class of shares from one currency to another currency; and/or

    • (d) cancel the number of shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution in that behalf, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person or which have been forfeited, and diminish the amount of its share capital by the number of the shares so cancelled.

  2. (B) Subject to the Statutes and the Listing Rules and such limitations thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange, the Company may by Special

I-9

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

Resolution, subject to and in accordance with the Statutes, convert one class of shares into another class of shares.

  1. (A) The Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital or any other undistributable reserve in any manner permitted, and with, and subject to, any incident authorised, and consent or confirmation required, by the Statutes and the Listing Rules.

  2. (B) The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire its issued shares subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Act, any other Statutes and such regulations and guidelines enacted, promulgated or issued by any relevant competent authority (including the Designated Stock Exchange (if applicable)) from time to time (hereinafter, the “Relevant Laws”), on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Company may in General Meeting prescribe in accordance with the Relevant Laws. Any shares purchased or acquired by the Company as aforesaid shall be dealt with in accordance with the Relevant Laws.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

  1. (A) Every share certificate shall be issued in accordance with the requirements under the Act. No certificate shall be issued representing shares of more than one class.

  2. (B) The provisions in this Regulation and in Regulations 17 to 20 (so far as they are applicable) shall not apply to transfer of book-entry securities.

  3. (A) The Company shall not be bound to register more than three persons as the joint holders of a share except in the case of executors or trustees of a deceased Member.

  4. (B) In the case of a share held jointly by several persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate therefor and delivery of a certificate to any one of the joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all joint holders of that share.

  5. Every person whose name is entered as a Member in the Register of Members shall be entitled to receive, within ten Market Days (or such longer period of time as the Directors may determine having regard to any limitation thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange from time to time) after the closing date of any application for shares or (as the case may be) the date of lodgement of a registrable transfer, one certificate for all his shares of any one class or to several certificates in reasonable denominations each for a part of the shares so allotted or transferred.

  6. (A) Where such Member transfers only part of the shares comprised in a certificate or where a Member requires the Company to cancel any certificate or certificates and issue new certificates for the purpose of subdividing his holding in a different manner, the old certificate or certificates shall be cancelled and a new certificate or certificates for the balance of such shares (in the case of transfer) and the whole of such shares (in the case of sub-division) shall be issued in lieu thereof and the Member shall pay (in the case of sub-division) a fee not exceeding S$2.00 or such other fees as the Directors may from time to time determine having regard to any limitation thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange.

  7. (B) Any two or more certificates representing shares of any one class held by any Member may at his request be cancelled and a single new certificate for such shares issued in lieu thereof without charge.

I-10

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  • (C) In the case of shares registered jointly in the names of several persons any such request may be made by any one of the registered joint holders.

  • Subject to the provisions of the Statutes, if any share certificate shall be defaced, worn out, destroyed, lost or stolen, it may be renewed on such evidence being produced and a letter of indemnity (if required) being given by the shareholder, transferee, person entitled, purchaser, member firm or member company of the Designated Stock Exchange or on behalf of its or their client or clients as the Directors shall require, and (in case of defacement or wearing out) on delivery of the old certificate, and in any case on payment of such sum not exceeding S$2.00 or such other fees as the Directors may from time to time determine having regard to any limitation thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange. In the case of destruction, loss or theft, a shareholder or person entitled to, and to whom such renewed certificate is given shall also bear the loss and pay to the Company all expenses incidental to the investigations by the Company of the evidence of such destruction or loss.

  • 20A. Where any shares under the power in these Regulations are sold by the Directors and the certificate thereof has not been delivered up to the Company by the former holder of the said shares, the Directors may issue a new certificate for such shares distinguishing it in such manner as they may think fit from the certificate not so delivered up.

CALLS ON SHARES

  1. The Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares but subject always to the terms of issue of such shares. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising the call was passed and may be made payable by instalments.

  2. Each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days’ notice specifying the time or times and place of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times and place so specified the amount called on his shares. The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine.

  3. If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate (not exceeding ten per cent. per annum) as the Directors may determine but the Directors shall be at liberty in any case or cases to waive payment of such interest in whole or in part.

  4. Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable upon allotment or at any fixed date shall for all the purposes of these Regulations be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable. In the case of non-payment, all the relevant provisions of these Regulations as to payment of interest and expenses, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

  5. The Directors may on the issue of shares differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

  6. The Directors may if they think fit receive from any Member willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid upon the shares held by him and such

I-11

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

payment in advance of calls shall extinguish pro tanto the liability upon the shares in respect of which it is made and upon the moneys so received (until and to the extent that the same would but for such advance become payable) the Company may pay interest at such rate (not exceeding eight per cent. per annum) as the Member paying such sum and the Directors may agree. Capital paid on shares in advance of calls shall not, whilst bearing interest, confer a right to participate in respect of a dividend and any other distribution subsequently declared.

FORFEITURE AND LIEN

  1. If a Member fails to pay in full any call or instalment of a call on the due date for payment thereof, the Directors may at any time thereafter serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued thereon and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment.

  2. The notice shall name a further day (not being less than fourteen days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which and the place where the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment in accordance therewith the shares on which the call has been made will be liable to be forfeited.

  3. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which such notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before payment of all calls and interest and expenses due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited share and not actually paid before forfeiture. The Directors may accept a surrender of any share liable to be forfeited hereunder.

  4. A share so forfeited or surrendered shall become the property of the Company and may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of either to the person who was before such forfeiture or surrender the holder thereof or entitled thereto or to any other person upon such terms and in such manner as the Directors shall think fit, and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposal, the forfeiture or surrender may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors shall think fit. The Directors may, if necessary, authorise some person to transfer a forfeited or surrendered share to any such other person as aforesaid.

  5. A Member whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a Member in respect of such shares but shall notwithstanding the forfeiture or surrender remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture or surrender were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of such shares with interest thereon at eight per cent. per annum (or such lower rate as the Directors may determine) from the date of forfeiture or surrender until payment and the Directors may at their absolute discretion enforce payment without any allowance for the value of such shares at that time of forfeiture or surrender or waive payment in whole or in part.

  6. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) and dividends from time to time declared in respect of such shares. The Company’s lien shall be restricted to unpaid calls and instalments upon the specific shares in respect of which such moneys are due and unpaid, and to such amounts as the Company may be called upon by law to pay in respect of the shares of the Member or deceased Member. The Directors may waive any lien which has arisen and may resolve that any share shall for some limited period be exempt wholly or partially from the provisions of this Regulation.

I-12

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  1. The Company may sell in such manner as the Directors think fit any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable and giving notice of intention to sell in default shall have been given to the holder for the time being of the share, Provided That if such holder of the share has died or become mentally disordered and incapable of managing himself or his affairs or become bankrupt, and no person has given to the Company satisfactory proof of his right to effect a transmission of the shares held by such member, the Directors may exercise such power of sale without serving any notice.

  2. The net proceeds of a sale, whether of a share forfeited by the Company or of a share over which the Company has a lien, after payment of the costs of such sale shall be applied in or towards payment or satisfaction of the unpaid calls and accrued interests and expenses and any residue after the satisfaction of the unpaid calls and accrued interest and expenses shall be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the time of the sale or to his executors, administrators or assigns, or as he directs. For the purpose of giving effect to any such sale, the Directors may authorise some person to transfer or to effect the transfer of the shares sold to the purchaser.

  3. A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director or the Secretary of the Company and that a share has been duly forfeited or surrendered or sold to satisfy a lien of the Company on a date stated in the declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. Such declaration and the receipt by the Company of the consideration (if any) given for the share on the sale, re- allotment or disposal thereof together (where the same be required) with the share certificate delivered to a purchaser (or where the purchaser is a Depositor, to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be) or allottee thereof shall (subject to the execution of a transfer if the same be required) constitute a good title to the share and the person to whom the share is sold, allotted or disposed of shall be registered as the holder of the share, or where such person is a Depositor, the Company shall procure that his name be entered in the Depository Register in respect of the share so sold, re-allotted or disposed of. Such person shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money (if any) nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the forfeiture, surrender, sale, re-allotment or disposal of the share.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

  1. All transfers of shares shall be effected by written instruments of transfer in the form for the time being approved by the Directors and the Designated Stock Exchange. The instrument of transfer of any share shall be signed by or on behalf of both the transferor and the transferee and be witnessed, Provided Always that an instrument of transfer in respect of which the transferee is the Depository or its nominee (as the case may be) shall be effective although not signed or witnessed by or on behalf of the Depository. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the shares concerned until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect thereof.

  2. The Company shall provide a book to be called “Register of Transfers”, which shall be kept under the control of the Directors, and in which shall be entered the particulars of every transfer or transmission of shares (other than a transfer or transmission of shares by means of book-entry in the Depository Register).

I-13

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  1. The Registers of Members and of Transfers may be closed at such times and for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine, Provided Always that such Registers shall not be closed for more than thirty days in any year, and that the Company shall give prior notice of each such closure, as may be required, to the Designated Stock Exchange, stating the period and purpose or purposes for which such closure is made.

  2. (A) There shall be no restriction on the transfer of shares and the Company shall not refuse to register or fail to register or give effect to any registrable transfer in respect of shares (except where required by law or, where the Company is listed on the Designated Stock Exchange, by the rules, bye-laws or listing rules of the Designated Stock Exchange) unless (a) the registration of the transfer would result in a contravention of or a failure to observe the relevant laws and regulations of the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation or the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange; or (b) the transfer is in respect of a partly paid share for which a call has been made and unpaid, Provided Always that in the event of the Directors refusing to register a transfer of shares, the Company shall within ten Market Days (or such period as the Directors may determine having regard to any limitation thereof as may be prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange from time to time) after the date on which the application for a transfer of shares was lodged with the Company, serve a notice in writing to the applicant stating the facts which are considered to justify the refusal as required by the Statutes or Listing Rules.

  3. (B) The Directors may decline to register any instrument of transfer of shares unless:

    • (a) such fee not exceeding S$2.00 (or such other sum as the Directors may determine having regard to any limitation thereof as may be prescribed by the Listing Rules or the Statutes) as the Directors may from time to time determine is paid to the Company in respect thereof;

    • (b) the amount of proper duty (if any) with which each instrument of transfer is chargeable under any law for the time being in force relating to stamps is paid;

    • (c) the instrument of transfer is deposited at the Office or at such other place (if any) as the Directors may appoint accompanied by a certificate of payment of stamp duty (if stamp duty is payable on such instrument of transfer in accordance with any law for the time being in force relating to stamp duty), the certificates of the shares to which such instrument of transfer relates, and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of the person so to do; and

    • (d) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares.

  4. (C) No share shall in any circumstances be transferred to any infant, bankrupt or person who is mentally disordered and incapable of managing himself or his affairs, but nothing herein contained shall be construed as imposing on the Company any liability in respect of the registration of such transfer.

  5. (D) Neither the Company nor its Directors nor any of its officers shall incur any liability for registering or acting upon a transfer of shares apparently made by sufficient parties, although the same may, by reason of any fraud or other cause not known to the Company or its Directors or other officers, be legally inoperative or insufficient to

I-14

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

pass the property in the shares proposed or professed to be transferred, and although the transfer may, as between the transferor and transferee, be liable to be set aside, and notwithstanding that the Company may have notice that such instrument of transfer was signed or executed and delivered by the transferor in blank as to the name of the transferee or the particulars of the shares transferred, or otherwise in defective manner. And in every such case, the person registered as transferee, his executors, administrators and assigns, alone shall be entitled to be recognised as the holder of such shares and the previous holder shall, so far as the Company is concerned, be deemed to have transferred his whole title thereto.

  1. All instruments of transfer which are registered may be retained by the Company, but any instrument of transfer which the Directors may refuse to register shall (except in any case of fraud) be returned to the party presenting the same.

  2. The Company shall be entitled to destroy all instruments of transfer which have been registered at any time after the expiration of six years from the date of registration thereof and all dividend mandates and notifications of change of address at any time after the expiration of six years from the date of recording thereof and all share certificates which have been cancelled at any time after the expiration of six years from the date of the cancellation thereof and it shall conclusively be presumed in favour of the Company that every entry in the Register of Members purporting to have been made on the basis of an instrument of transfer or other document so destroyed was duly and properly made and every instrument of transfer so destroyed was a valid and effective instrument duly and properly registered and every share certificate so destroyed was a valid and effective certificate duly and properly cancelled and every other document hereinbefore mentioned so destroyed was a valid and effective document in accordance with the recorded particulars thereof in the books or records of the Company, Provided Always that:

  3. (a) the Company shall adequately record for future reference the information required to be contained in any company records (unless provided otherwise or not required under the Statutes);

  4. (b) the provisions aforesaid shall apply only to the destruction of a document in good faith and without notice of any claim (regardless of the parties thereto) to which the document might be relevant;

  5. (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as imposing upon the Company any liability in respect of the destruction of any such document earlier than as aforesaid or in any other circumstances which would not attach to the Company in the absence of this Regulation; and

  6. (d) references herein to the destruction of any document include references to the disposal thereof in any manner.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

  1. (A) In case of the death of a Member whose name is registered in the Register of Members, the survivors or survivor, where the deceased was a joint holder, and the executors or administrators of the deceased where he was a sole or only surviving holder, shall be the only person(s) recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares.

I-15

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  • (B) In the case of the death of a Member who is a Depositor, the survivors or survivor, where the deceased is a joint holder, and the executors or administrators of the deceased, where he was a sole or only surviving holder and where such executors or administrators are entered into the Depository Register in respect of any shares to the deceased Member, shall be the only person(s) recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares.

  • (C) Nothing herein contained in this Regulation 42 shall release the estate of a deceased holder (whether sole or joint) from any liability in respect of any share held by him.

  • (A) Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member may (subject as hereinafter provided) upon supplying to the Company such evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show his entitlement to the share, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the share or to have another person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof. If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he elects to have another person registered he shall testify his election by executing to that person a transfer of the share. All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of these Regulations relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the Member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer executed by such Member. The Directors shall have, in respect of a transfer so executed, the same power of refusing registration as if the event upon which the transmission took place had not occurred, and the transfer were a transfer executed by the person from whom the title by transmission.

  • (B) The Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect whether to be registered himself as a Member in the Register of Members or, (as the case may be), entered in the Depository Register in respect of the share or to transfer the share and if the notice is not complied with within sixty (60) days, the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends or other moneys payable in respect of the share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

  • Save as otherwise provided by or in accordance with this Constitution, a person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member (upon supplying to the Company such evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show his entitlement to the share) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages as those to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share except that he shall not be entitled in respect thereof (except with the authority of the Directors) to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to General Meetings of the Company until he shall have been registered as a Member in the Register of Members or his name shall have been entered in the Depository Register in respect of the share.

  • There shall be paid to the Company in respect of the registration of any probate or letters of administration or certificate of death or stop notice or power of attorney or other document relating to or affecting the title to any shares or otherwise for making any entry in the Register of Members affecting the title to any shares such fee not exceeding S$2.00 (or such other sum as the Directors may determine having regard to any limitation thereof as may be prescribed by the Listing Rules or the Statutes).

I-16

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

CENTRAL DEPOSITORY SYSTEM

  1. A reference to a Member shall be a reference to a registered holder of shares in the Company, or where such registered holder is the Depository, the Depositors on behalf of whom the Depository holds the shares, Provided that:

  2. (a) the payment by the Company to the Depository of any dividend payable to a Depositor shall, to the extent of the payment made, discharge the Company from any further liability in respect of that payment;

  3. (b) the delivery by the Company to the Depository of provisional allotments or share certificates in respect of the aggregate entitlements of Depositors to new shares offered by way of rights issue or other preferential offering or bonus issue shall to the extent of the delivery discharge the Company from any further liability to each such Depositor in respect of his individual entitlement; and

  4. (c) the provisions in these Regulations relating to the transfers, transmissions or certification of shares shall not apply to the transfer of book-entry securities.

EXCLUSION OF EQUITIES

  1. Except as required by the Statutes or law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and the Company shall not be bound by or compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share, or any interest in any fractional part of a share, or (except only as by this Constitution or by the Statutes or law otherwise provided) any other right in respect of any share, except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder and nothing in these Regulations contained relating to the Depository or to Depositors or in any depository agreement made by the Company with any common depository for shares shall in any circumstances be deemed to limit, restrict or qualify the above.

STOCK

  1. The Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution convert any paid-up shares into stock and may from time to time by like resolution reconvert any stock into paid-up shares of any denomination.

  2. The holders of stock may transfer the same or any part thereof in the same manner and subject to the same Regulations as and subject to which the shares from which the stock arose might previous to conversion have been transferred (or as near thereto as circumstances admit) but no stock shall be transferable except in such units as the Directors may from time to time determine.

  3. The holders of stock shall, according to the amount of stock held by them, have the same rights, privileges and advantages as regards dividend, return of capital, voting and other matters, as if they held the shares from which the stock arose; but no such privilege or advantage (except as regards participation in the profits or assets of the Company) shall be conferred by an amount of stock which would not, if existing in shares, have conferred such privilege or advantage, and no such conversion shall affect or prejudice any preference or other special privileges attached to the shares so converted.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

  1. The Chairperson of the Board of Directors, failing whom the Deputy Chairperson, shall preside as chairperson at a General Meeting. If there be no such Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson, or if at any General Meeting neither be present within five minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting and willing to act, the Directors present shall choose one of their number (or, if no Director be present or if all the Directors present decline to take the chair, the Members present shall choose one of their number) to be chairperson of the General Meeting.

  2. No business other than the appointment of a chairperson shall be transacted at any General Meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. Save as herein otherwise provided, the quorum at any General Meeting shall be two Members present in person or by proxy, Provided Always that (i) a proxy representing more than one Member shall only count as one Member for purpose of determining if the quorum aforesaid is present; and (ii) where a Member is represented by more than one proxy, such proxies of such Member shall only count as one Member for purposes of determining if the quorum aforesaid is present. In addition, for the purposes of a quorum, joint holders of any share shall be treated as one Member.

  3. If within thirty minutes from the time appointed for a General Meeting (or such longer interval as the chairperson of the meeting may think fit to allow) a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened on the requisition of Members, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week (or if that day is a public holiday then to the next business day following that public holiday) at the same time and place or such other day, time or place as the Directors may by not less than ten days’ notice appoint. At the adjourned meeting any two or more Members present in person or by proxy shall be a quorum.

  4. The chairperson of any General Meeting at which a quorum is present may with the consent of the meeting (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time (or sine die ) and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. Where a General Meeting is adjourned sine die , the time and place for the adjourned meeting shall be fixed by the Directors. When a General Meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more or sine die , not less than seven days’ notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in like manner as in the case of the original meeting.

  5. Save as hereinbefore expressly provided but subject to any requirements of the Listing Rules or the Designated Stock Exchange from time to time, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned General Meeting.

  6. If an amendment shall be proposed to any resolution under consideration but shall in good faith be ruled out of order by the chairperson of the General Meeting, the proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by any error in such ruling. In the case of a resolution duly proposed as a Special Resolution, no amendment thereto (other than a mere clerical amendment to correct a patent error) may in any event be considered or voted upon.

I-20

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  1. (A) If required by the Listing Rules, all resolutions at General Meetings shall be voted by poll (unless such requirement is waived by the Designated Stock Exchange). If any votes be counted which ought not to have been counted or might have been rejected, the error shall not vitiate the result of the voting unless it be pointed out at the same General Meeting or at any adjournment thereof and not in any case unless it shall in the opinion of the chairperson be of sufficient magnitude.

  2. (B) Subject to Regulation 63(A), at any General Meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by:

    • (a) the chairperson of the meeting; or

    • (b) not less than five Members present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote; or

    • (c) any Member present in person or by proxy, or where such a Member has appointed two proxies any one of such proxies, or any number or combination of such Members or proxies, holding or representing as the case may be not less than five per centum of the total voting rights of all the Members having the right to vote at the General Meeting; or

    • (d) any Member present in person or by proxy, or where such a Member has appointed two proxies any one of such proxies, or any number or combination of such Members or proxies, holding shares conferring a right to vote at the General Meeting, of which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than five per centum of the total sum paid on all the share conferring that right,

Provided Always that no poll shall be demanded on the choice of the chairperson of the meeting or on a question of adjournment. A demand for a poll may be withdrawn only with the approval of the meeting.

  1. If a poll is taken, it shall be taken in such manner (including the use of ballot or voting papers or tickets or electronic means) as the chairperson of the General Meeting may direct, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was taken. The chairperson of the meeting may (and if required by the Listing Rules or if so directed by the General Meeting shall) appoint scrutineers and such appointment shall comply with the requirements (if any) under the Listing Rules, and may adjourn the meeting to some place and time fixed by him for the purpose of declaring the result of the poll.

  2. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairperson of the General Meeting at which the show of hands or poll takes place shall be entitled to a casting vote.

  3. A poll demanded on any question shall be taken either immediately or at such subsequent time (not being more than thirty days from the date of the Meeting) and place as the chairperson of the Meeting may direct.

I-21

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  • 66A. Subject to the Act, a resolution in writing signed by every Member of the Company entitled to vote or being a corporation by its duly authorised representative shall have the same effect and validity as an Ordinary Resolution of the Company passed at a general meeting duly convened, held and constituted, and may consist of several documents in like form, each signed by one (1) or more of such Members.

VOTES OF MEMBERS

  1. Subject to Regulation 8, each Member entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy.

  2. (A) On a show of hands, every Member who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote (provided always that):

    • (a) in the case of a Member who is not a relevant intermediary and who is represented by two proxies, only one of the two proxies as determined by that Member or, failing such determination, by the chairperson of the General Meeting (or by a person authorised by him) in his sole discretion shall be entitled to vote on a show of hands; and

    • (b) in the case of a Member who is a relevant intermediary and who is represented by two or more proxies, each proxy shall be entitled to vote on a show of hands.

  3. (B) On a poll every Member who is present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every share which he holds or represents.

  4. (C) A Member who is bankrupt shall not, while his bankruptcy continues, be entitled to exercise his rights as a Member, or attend, vote or act at any General Meeting.

  5. (D) Except as required by the Statutes or law, a Depositor shall only be entitled to attend any General Meeting and to speak and vote thereat if his name appears on the Depository Register maintained by the Depository seventy-two (72) hours before the time of the relevant General Meeting (the “cut-off time”) as a Depositor on whose behalf the Depository holds shares in the Company.

For the purposes of determining the number of votes which a Member, being a Depositor, or his proxy or proxies, may cast at any General Meeting on a poll, the Company shall be entitled to deem such Depositor (or his proxy) as holding or representing that number of shares standing to the credit of the Securities Account of such Depositor as at the cut-off time, according to the records of the Depository as supplied by the Depository to the Company (or as otherwise certified by the Depository to the Company), and where a Depositor has apportioned that number of shares standing to the credit of his Securities Account between two or more proxies, such proportion as specified by the Depositor in appointing the proxies; and accordingly no instrument appointing a proxy (or proxies) of a Depositor shall be rendered invalid merely by reason of any discrepancy between the number of shares standing to the credit of a Depositor’s Securities Account as at the cut-off time, and the true balance standing to the Securities Account of a Depositor as at the time of the relevant General Meeting, if the instrument is dealt with in such manner as is provided above.

I-22

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  1. In the case of joint holders of a share, any one of such persons may vote and be reckoned in a quorum at any General Meeting either personally or by proxy or by attorney or in the case of a corporation, by a representative as if he were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such persons is present at any General Meeting, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members or, as the case may be, the order in which the names appear in the Depository Register in respect of the joint holding. Several executors or trustees of a deceased Member in whose name any share stands shall for the purpose of this Regulation be deemed joint holders thereof.

  2. Where in Singapore or elsewhere a receiver or other person (by whatever name called) has been appointed by any court claiming jurisdiction in that behalf to exercise powers with respect to the property or affairs of any Member on the ground (however formulated) of mental disorder, the Directors may in their absolute discretion, upon or subject to production of such evidence of the appointment as the Directors may require, permit such receiver or other person on behalf of such Member, to vote in person or by proxy at any General Meeting, or to exercise any other right conferred by Membership in relation to General Meetings.

  3. (A) A holder of ordinary shares shall be entitled to be present and to vote at any General Meeting in respect of any share or shares upon which all calls due to the Company have been paid. No Member shall be entitled in respect of shares held by him to vote at a General Meeting either personally or by proxy or to exercise any other right conferred by Membership in relation to General Meetings if any call or other sum payable by him to the Company in respect of such shares remains unpaid.

  4. (B) Where the Company has knowledge that any Member is, under the Listing Rules, required to abstain from voting on any particular resolution of the Company or restricted to voting only for or only against any particular resolution of the Company, any votes cast by or on behalf of such Member in contravention of such requirement or restriction shall not be counted.

  5. No objection shall be raised as to the admissibility of any vote except at the General Meeting or adjourned General Meeting at which the vote objected to is or may be given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at such meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection shall be referred to the chairperson of the General Meeting whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

  6. On a poll, votes may be given either personally or by proxy and a person entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

  7. (A) Save as otherwise provided in the Statutes:

    • (a) a Member who is not a relevant intermediary shall not be entitled to appoint more than two proxies to attend, speak and vote at the same General Meeting; and

    • (b) a Member who is a relevant intermediary is entitled and may appoint more than two proxies to attend, speak and vote at the same General Meeting.

I-23

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  • (B) In any case where a Member is a Depositor, the Company shall be entitled and bound:

    • (a) to reject any instrument of proxy lodged if the Depositor, is not shown, to have any shares entered against his name in the Depository Register as at 72 hours before the time of the relevant General Meeting as certified by the Depository to the Company; and

    • (b) to accept as the maximum number of votes which in aggregate the proxy or proxies appointed by the Depositor is or are able to cast on a poll a number which is the number of shares entered into against the name of that Depositor in the Depository Register as at 72 hours before the time of the relevant General Meeting as certified by the Depository to the Company, whether that number is greater or smaller than the number specified in any instrument of proxy executed by or on behalf of that Depositor.

  • (C) Where a Member who is not a relevant intermediary appoints more than one proxy, the Member shall specify the proportion of his shares to be represented by each such proxy in the form of proxy, failing which the nomination shall be deemed to be alternative.

  • (D) Where a Member who is a relevant intermediary appoints more than two proxies, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by such Member. Where such Member’s form of proxy appoints more than two proxies, the number and class of shares in relation to which each proxy has been appointed shall be specified in the form of proxy.

  • (E) The Company shall be entitled and bound, in determining rights to vote and other matters in respect of a completed instrument of proxy, the power of attorney and any other authority submitted to the Company, to have regard to the instructions (if any) given by the notes (if any) set out in such instrument of proxy, power of attorney or such other authority. The Company is entitled to disregard any votes cast by a proxy that is not in accordance with such instructions (if any) given by and the notes (if any) set out in the instrument of proxy, the power of attorney or any other authority.

  • (F) A proxy need not be a Member of the Company and shall be entitled to vote on any matter at a General Meeting.

  • (A) An instrument appointing a proxy for any Member shall be in writing in any usual or common form or in any other form which the Directors may approve and:

    • (a) in the case of an individual Member, such instrument shall be (i) signed by the Member or his attorney duly authorised in writing if the instrument of proxy is delivered personally or sent by post, or (ii) authorised by that Member through such method and in such manner as may be approved by the Directors, if the instrument is submitted via electronic communication; and

    • (b) in the case of a Member which is a corporation, such instrument shall be (i) either given under the Member’s common seal (or by signature of authorised persons in the manner set out in the Act as an alternative to sealing) or signed on its behalf by an attorney duly authorised in writing or a duly authorised officer of the corporation if the instrument of proxy is delivered personally or sent by

I-24

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

post, or (ii) authorised by the Member through such method and in such manner as may be approved by the Directors, if the instrument is submitted via electronic communication.

The Directors may for the purposes of Regulations 74(A)(a)(ii) and 74(A)(b)(ii), designate procedures for authenticating any such instrument, and any such instrument not so authenticated by use of such procedures shall be deemed not to have been received by the Company.

  • (B) The signatures on, or authorisation of, an instrument of proxy need not be witnessed. Where an instrument appointing a proxy is signed on behalf of a Member by an attorney, the letter or power of attorney or a duly certified copy thereof shall (failing previous registration with the Company) be lodged with the instrument of proxy pursuant to Regulation 75(A), failing which the instrument of proxy may be treated as invalid.

  • (C) The Directors may, in their absolute discretion:

  • (a) approve the method and manner of an instrument appointing a proxy to be authorised; and

  • (b) designate the procedure for authenticating an instrument appointing a proxy,

as contemplated in the Regulations 74(A)(a)(ii) and 74(A)(b)(ii) for application to such Members or class of Members as they may determine. Where the Directors do not so approve and designate in relation to a Member (whether of a class or otherwise), Regulation 74(A)(a)(i) and/or (as the case may be) Regulation 74(A)(b)(i) shall apply.

  1. (A) An instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority, if any:

  2. (a) if delivered personally or by post, must be left at such place or one of such places (if any) as may be specified for that purpose in or by way of note to or in any document accompanying the notice convening the General Meeting (or, if no place is so specified, at the Office); or

  3. (b) subject always to Regulation 152, if submitted by electronic communications, must be received through such means as may be specified for that purpose in or by way of note to or in any document accompanying the notice convening the General Meeting,

and in either case not less than 72 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting or adjourned meeting or (in the case of a poll taken otherwise than at or on the same day as the meeting or adjourned meeting) for the taking of the poll at which it is to be used, and in default shall be treated as invalid. The deposit of an instrument appointing a proxy does not preclude the Member concerned from attending and voting in person at the General Meeting, as well as for any adjournment of the meeting to which it relates. In such an event, the appointment of the proxy or proxies is deemed to be revoked by the Member concerned at the point when the Member attends the General Meeting.

I-25

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  • (B) The instrument shall, unless the contrary is stated thereon, be valid as well for any adjournment of the General Meeting as for the meeting to which it relates, Provided Always that an instrument of proxy relating to more than one meeting (including any adjournment thereof) having once been so delivered for the purposes of any meeting shall not require again to be delivered for the purposes of any subsequent meeting to which it relates.

  • An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the right to demand or join in demanding a poll, to move any resolution or amendment thereto and to speak at the General Meeting.

  • A vote cast by proxy shall not be invalidated by the previous death or mental disorder of the principal or by the revocation of the appointment of the proxy or of the authority under which the appointment was made provided that no intimation in writing of such death, mental disorder or revocation shall have been received by the Company at the Office at least one hour before the commencement of the General Meeting or adjourned General Meeting or (in the case of a poll taken otherwise than at or on the same day as the meeting or adjourned meeting) the time appointed for the taking of the poll at which the vote is cast.

  • Subject to these Regulations, the Statutes and the Listing Rules, the Directors may, at their sole discretion, approve and implement, subject to such security measures as may be deemed necessary or expedient, such voting methods to allow Members who are unable to vote in person at any General Meeting the option to vote in absentia, including but not limited to voting by mail, electronic mail or facsimile.

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

APPOINTMENT AND RETIREMENT OF DIRECTORS

  1. The Company may by Ordinary Resolution appoint any person to be a Director either as an additional Director or to fill a casual vacancy. Without prejudice thereto the Directors shall also have power at any time so to do. Any person so appointed by the Directors shall hold office only until the next General Meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election, but shall not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at such meeting.

  2. At each Annual General Meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation, Provided that all Directors shall retire from office at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall retain office until the close of the General Meeting at which he retires.

  3. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to obtain the number required) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by ballot. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election.

  4. The Company at a General Meeting at which a Director retires under any provision of these Regulations may by Ordinary Resolution fill the office being vacated by electing thereto the retiring Director or some other person eligible for appointment. In default, the retiring Director shall be deemed to have been re-elected except in any of the following cases:

  5. (a) where at such meeting it is expressly resolved not to fill such office or a resolution for the re-election of such Director is put to the meeting and lost; or

  6. (b) where such Director has given notice in writing to the Company that he is unwilling to be re-elected; or

  7. (c) where such Director is prohibited or disqualified by the Statutes or any other law from acting as a director in any jurisdiction for reasons other than on technical grounds; or

  8. (d) where the default is due to the moving of a resolution in contravention of Regulation 102;

The retirement shall not have effect until the conclusion of the meeting except where a resolution is passed to elect some other person in the place of the retiring Director or a resolution for his re-election is put to the meeting and lost and accordingly a retiring Director who is re-elected or deemed to have been re-elected will continue in office without a break.

  1. A resolution for the appointment of two or more persons as Directors by a single resolution shall not be moved at any General Meeting unless a resolution that it shall be so moved has first been agreed to by the meeting without any vote being given against it, and any resolution moved in contravention of this provision shall be void.

I-30

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

  2. The office of a Director shall be vacated in any of the following events, namely:

  3. (a) if he shall become prohibited or disqualified by the Statutes or any other law from acting or holding office as a director in any jurisdiction for reason other than on technical grounds; or

  4. (b) if (not being a Director holding any executive office for a fixed term) he shall resign by writing under his hand left at the Office or if he shall in writing offer to resign and the Directors shall resolve to accept such offer; or

  5. (c) if he shall become bankrupt or have a receiving order made against him or if he makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally during his term of office; or

  6. (d) if he becomes mentally disordered and incapable of managing himself or his affairs, or if in Singapore or elsewhere an order shall be made by any court claiming jurisdiction in that behalf on the ground (however formulated) of mental disorder for his detention or for the appointment of a guardian or for the appointment of a receiver or other person (by whatever name called) to exercise powers with respect to his property or affairs during his term of office; or

The Company may in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Statutes, by Ordinary Resolution of which special notice has been given, remove any Director from office (notwithstanding any provision of this Constitution or of any agreement between the Company and such Director, but without prejudice to any claim he may have for damages for breach of any such agreement) and appoint another person in place of a Director so removed from office, and any person so appointed shall be treated for the purpose of determining the time at which he or any other Director is to retire by rotation as if he had become a Director on the day on which the Director in whose place he is appointed was last appointed a Director. In default of such appointment the vacancy arising upon the removal of a Director from office may be filled as a casual vacancy.

If his principal is for the time being absent from Singapore or temporarily unable to act through ill health or disability, his signature to any resolution in writing of the Directors shall be as effective as the signature of his principal. To such extent as the Directors may from time to time determine in relation to any committees of the Directors, the foregoing provisions of this Regulation shall also apply mutatis mutandis to any meeting of any such committee of which his principal is a member. An alternate Director shall not (save as aforesaid) have any power to act as a Director nor shall he be deemed to be a Director for any other purposes of this Constitution.

  5. (E) An alternate Director shall be entitled to contract and be interested in and benefit from contracts or arrangements or transactions and to be repaid expenses and to be indemnified to the same extent mutatis mutandis as if he were a Director but he shall not be entitled to receive from the Company in respect of his appointment as alternate Director any remuneration except only such part (if any) of the remuneration otherwise payable to his principal as such principal may by notice in writing to the Company from time to time direct provided that any fees payable to him shall be deducted from his principal’s remuneration.

APPENDIX I – THE NEW CONSTITUTION

RESERVES

  1. The Directors may from time to time set aside out of the profits of the Company and carry to reserve such sums as they think proper which, at the discretion of the Directors, shall be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may properly be applied and pending such application may either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested. The Directors may divide the reserve into such special funds as they think fit and may consolidate into one fund any special funds or any parts of any special funds into which the reserve may have been divided. The Directors may also, without placing the same to reserve, carry forward any profits. In carrying sums to reserve and in applying the same, the Directors shall comply with the provisions of the Statutes.

DIVIDENDS

  1. The Company may by Ordinary Resolution declare dividends but no such dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.

  2. If and so far as in the opinion of the Directors, the profits of the Company justify such payments, the Directors may declare and pay the fixed dividends on any class of shares carrying a fixed dividend expressed to be payable on fixed dates on the half-yearly or other dates prescribed for the payment thereof and may also from time to time declare and pay interim dividends on shares of any class of such amounts and on such dates and in respect of such periods as they think fit.

  3. Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares or class of shares and except as otherwise permitted under the Statutes:

  5. (b) all dividends must be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts so paid or credited as paid during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid.

For the purposes of this Regulation, an amount paid or credited as paid on a share in advance of a call is to be ignored.

  1. (A) No dividend shall be paid otherwise than out of profits available for distribution under the provisions of the Statutes. The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividends or other moneys payable on or in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof. All dividends remaining unclaimed after one year from having been first payable may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors for the benefit of the Company, and any dividend or any such moneys unclaimed after six (6) years from having been first payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company Provided Always that the Directors may at any time thereafter at their absolute discretion annul any such forfeiture and pay the dividend so forfeited to the person entitled thereto prior to the forfeiture. If the Depository returns any such dividend or moneys to the Company, the relevant Depositor shall not have any right or claim in respect of such dividend or moneys against the Company if a period of six years has elapsed from the date of the declaration of such dividend or the date on which such other moneys are first payable.

I-39

  • (B) The Directors may retain the dividends payable upon shares in respect of which any person is under the provisions as to the transmission of shares hereinbefore contained entitled to become a Member, or which any person is under those provisions entitled to transfer, until such person shall become a Member in respect of such shares or shall transfer the same.

  • The waiver in whole or in part of any dividend on any share by any document (whether or not under seal) shall be effective only if such document is signed by the Member (or the person entitled to the share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder) and delivered to the Company and if or to the extent that the same is accepted as such or acted upon by the Company.

  • The Company may upon the recommendation of the Directors by Ordinary Resolution direct payment of a dividend in whole or in part by the distribution of specific assets (and in particular of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company) and the Directors shall give effect to such resolution. Where any difficulty arises with regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular, may issue fractional certificates, may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof, 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.

  • 142A. (A) Subject to the Listing Rules, 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:

    • (i) the basis of any such allotment shall be determined by the Directors;

    • (ii) 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 election 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

Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited share and not actually paid before forfeiture. The Directors may accept a surrender of any share liable to be ~~made forfeit~~ forfeited hereunder.

  3. 5.2 Under the Plan, the Committee will have discretion to grant Awards which are time-based or performance-related as well as Awards which are neither subject to Performance Conditions nor time vested.

  4. 5.3 The number of Shares which are the subject of each Award to be granted to a Participant in accordance with the Plan shall be determined at the absolute discretion of the Committee, which shall take into account such criteria as it considers fit, including but not limited to:

  5. (a) in the case of a Group Employee, his or her rank, job performance, year(s) of service, potential for future development, and his or her contribution to the success and development of the Group;

  6. (b) in the case of a Performance-related Award to be granted to a Group Employee, the difficulty with which the Performance Condition may be achieved within the Performance Period; and

  7. (c) in the case of a Group Executive Director or Group Non-Executive Director, his or her board and board committee appointments and attendance, and his or her contribution to the success and development of the Group.

In the case of a Performance-related Award, the Performance Condition (if any) that must be achieved before the Award ~~vest~~ vests will be stated in the Award Letter, to be determined by the Committee in accordance with the purpose of the Plan. The performance criteria may comprise a mixture of attaining satisfactory key performance indicator components (including, without limitation, the business performance and financial performance of the Group and/or department by reference to annual corporate targets and/or goals attained, market capitalisation milestones and individual performance based on the periodic performance assessment and annual review results) which may vary among the Participants depending on among others their job scope and responsibilities. The directors of the Company consider that it is not practicable to expressly set out a generic set of performance targets in the rules of the Plan, as each Participant will play different roles and contribute in different ways to the Group. The Committee shall have regard to the purpose of the Plan in making such determinations, with any performance targets generally being in line with common key performance indicators in the industry of the Group, and shall also establish robust mechanisms to ensure impartial evaluation of such indicators.

III-11

APPENDIX III – PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LHN PSP 2025 RULES (BLACKLINED)

the Committee will consider, at its discretion, whether or not to Release any Award. If the Committee decides to Release any Award, then in determining the number of Shares to be Vested in respect of such Award, the Committee will (if applicable) have regard to the proportion of the Vesting Period(s) which has (have) elapsed and, in the case of a Performance-related Award, the Committee will have regard to the proportion of the Performance Period which has elapsed and the extent to which the Performance Condition has been satisfied. Where Awards are Released, the Committee will, as soon as practicable after the Awards have been Released, procure the issue (or, as the case may be, transfer) to each Participant of the number of Shares so determined, such issue (or, as the case may be, transfer) to be made in accordance with Rule 7.

7. RELEASE OF AWARDS

7.1 Review of Performance Condition

In relation to each Performance-related Award, as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the relevant Performance Period, the Committee shall review the Performance Condition specified in respect of that Award and determine whether such Performance Condition has been satisfied and, if so, the extent to which such Performance Condition has been satisfied, and also determine the number of Shares (if any) comprised in that Award to be Released to the relevant Participant.

If the Committee determines, in its absolute discretion, that the Performance Condition has not been satisfied (whether fully or partially) or (subject to Rule 6) if the relevant Participant has not continued to be a Group Employee from the Award Date up to the end of the relevant Performance Period, that Award shall lapse and be of no value and the provisions of Rules 7.2 to 7.4 shall be of no effect.

The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether the Performance Condition has been satisfied (whether fully or partially) or exceeded and in making any such determination, the Committee shall have the right to make computational adjustments to the audited results of the Company or the Group, as the case may be, to take into account such factors as the Committee may determine to be relevant, including changes in accounting methods, taxes and extraordinary events, and further, the right to amend the Performance Condition if the Committee decides that a changed Performance Condition would be a fairer measure of performance.

7.2 Vesting of Award

In relation to a Performance-related Award, subject to the Committee having determined that the Performance Condition has been satisfied and provided, in relation to all Awards, that the relevant Participant has continued to be a Group Employee or a Group Non-Executive Director, as the case may be, from the Award Date up to the end of the relevant Vesting Period (if any) and provided further that, in the opinion of the Committee, the job performance of the relevant Participant has been satisfactory, upon the expiry of each Vesting Period in relation to an Award (if any), the Company shall Release to the relevant Participant the relevant number of Shares to which his or her Award relates in accordance with the Release Schedule (if any) specified in respect of his or her Award on the relevant Vesting Date(s).

III-12

APPENDIX III – PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE LHN PSP 2025 RULES (BLACKLINED)

In any event, no Award may be vested more than 10 years from the date of grant. ~~Under the Plan, the vesting period of Awards shall not be less than 12 months. However~~ For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee will have a discretion in ~~allowing a shorter vesting period~~ determining the Vesting Period of an Award granted to a Participant who is a Group Employee (including determining that such Award granted shall not be subject to any Vesting Period or allow a shorter Vesting Period than initially granted) in the following circumstances:

  • (a) grants of “make-whole” Award(s) to new joiners to replace the share awards they forfeited when leaving the previous employers, which would provide talents with higher incentives in joining the Group for the Group’s further development;

  • (b) grants to a Group Employee whose employment is terminated due to death or occurrence of any out of control event, which allows flexibility for the Company to reward employees in exceptional circumstances to ensure fair treatment;

  • (c) grants that are made in batches during a year for administrative and compliance reasons, which include Awards that should have been granted earlier if not for such administrative or compliance reasons but had to wait for subsequent batch. In such case, the vesting period may be shorter to reflect the time from which the Award would have been granted, which allows flexibility for the Company to reward employees in case of delays due to administrative or compliance reasons;

  • (d) grants of Awards with a mixed or accelerated vesting schedule such as where the Awards may vest evenly over a period ~~of twelve (12) months~~ time, which provides flexibility for the Company in granting the Shares; or

  • (e) grants with performance-based vesting conditions in lieu of time-based vesting criteria, which allows flexibility for the Company to reward exceptional performers who fulfilled the performance targets ~~in less than 12 months~~ before the expiry of the Vesting Period in respect of which such Award was initially granted.

Subject to the prevailing legislation and the provisions of the Mainboard Rules ~~and the HK Listing Rules~~ , the Company will deliver Shares to Participants upon Vesting of their Awards by way of an issue of n ~~N~~ ew Shares or the transfer of existing Shares held as treasury shares to the Participants.

Shares which are the subject of a Released Award shall be Vested to a Participant on the relevant Vesting Date, which shall be:

  • (a) in the case of an Award which is subject to a Vesting Period, a Trading Day falling as soon as practicable after the last day of the relevant Vesting Period;

  • (b) in the case of a Performance-related Award which is not subject to any Vesting Period, a Trading Day falling as soon as practicable after the last day of the relevant Performance Period; and

  • (c) in the case of an Award (other than a Performance-related Award) which is not subject to any Vesting Period, a Trading Day falling as soon as practicable after the relevant Award Date,
