LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors confirmed that the subscription amount and terms of each of the Notes were determined on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiation between the Group and DBS having taken into account (i) the then financial status of the Group; (ii) the expected investment return and terms of the Notes; and (iii) the then prevailing market practice. Based on the above, the Directors were of the view that the aggregate consideration for the Notes Subscriptions as a whole was fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and that the entering into of the Notes Subscriptions were in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE NOTES SUBSCRIPTIONS

The Notes Subscriptions ware made for treasury management purpose to maximise return on idle funds of the Group received from its business operations as set forth in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022 published on 19 April 2023. Taking into account (i) the benefits of a better yield through the Notes Subscriptions than current saving or time deposits generally offered by reputable commercial banks in Singapore; (ii) the risk nature and relatively short term of maturity of the Notes; and (iii) that the Notes Subscriptions were funded by internal idle funds which would not affect the sufficiency of working capital of the Group nor hinder the operation of the Group’s businesses, the Directors were of the view that the terms and conditions of the Notes were fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP AND DBS

The Group

The Group is principally engaged in the (i) sales and installation of passenger vehicle leather upholstery and electronic accessories; and (ii) sales of electronic accessories, automotive parts and motor vehicle.

As of the dates of the Notes Subscriptions and as of the Latest Practicable Date and to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, DBS and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) were Independent Third Parties.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

IMPLICATIONS OF THE LISTING RULES

As the highest applicable percentage ratio for the subscription of the AUD-linked Notes exceeded 5% but was less than 25%, the subscription of the AUD-linked Notes on a standalone basis constituted a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and should have been subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but are exempt from circular and shareholders’ approval requirements. As the highest applicable percentage ratio for the subscription of the USD-linked Notes exceeded 25% but was less than 100%, the subscription of the USD-linked Notes on a standalone basis constituted a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and should have been subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.

As both of the Notes were subscribed by TOMO-CSE and were of similar nature, the corresponding principal amounts of the Notes Subscriptions, both completed within a 12-month period, have been aggregated as if they were one transaction for the purpose of calculating the relevant percentage ratios pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable ratio, on an aggregate basis, in respect of the Notes Subscriptions at the relevant period exceeded 25% but was less than 100%, the Notes Subscriptions on an aggregate basis constituted a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and should have been subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.

With the mistaken beliefs that the Notes were similar in nature to time deposits and in general had low risk exposure which would not constitute transaction(s) as defined under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, the Company failed to comply with the applicable reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Notes Subscriptions.

Considering that (i) both of the Notes had been matured and redeemed as of the date of the announcement of the Company dated 30 May 2023 in relation to the Notes Subscriptions; and (ii) none of the Shareholders had material interests in the Notes Subscriptions and no Shareholder was required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Notes Subscriptions, the Company has obtained the written Shareholder’s approval from Billion Legend Company Limited, the controlling Shareholder holding 230,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 51.11% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, in lieu of the holding of a general meeting in this regard. This circular containing, among others, information in relation to the Notes Subscriptions is prepared and despatched to the Shareholders for their information.

RECTIFICATION OF BREACH OF THE LISTING RULES

As disclosed above, the Notes Subscriptions constituted a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the failure by the Company to timely report and announce the details of the Notes Subscriptions and to obtain the Shareholders’ approval for the Notes Subscriptions constituted breaches of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Board wishes to clarify that the abovementioned breaches of the Listing Rules was a one-off incident due to its unintentional and inadvertent oversight. The Company regrets such unintentional breaches of the Listing Rules and reiterates its belief that continuing compliance with the Listing Rules and other applicable regulatory requirements is of utmost importance.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REMEDIAL ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE COMPANY

To prevent the recurrence of similar breaches of the Listing Rules in the future, the Group has reviewed its internal control measures and procedures and has taken the following remedial actions:

  • (i) providing regular internal trainings on notifiable transaction(s) to all relevant personnel, including accounting staff and senior management in all business departments of the Group to reinforce and re-explain the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules;

  • (ii) strengthening the implementation of its internal control system on transactions, including but not limited to the strengthening of the coordination and reporting arrangements for notifiable transactions among various departments of the Company; and

  • (iii) for any potential transaction(s) which may constitute new notifiable transaction(s) of the Group, consulting professional advisers and the Stock Exchange (where necessary) in a timely manner prior to the entering into of such transaction(s) so as to ensure that the Directors’ apprehension and interpretation of the Listing Rules are correct and the Group timely complies with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules.

Going forward, the Company will continue to comply with the procedures of its subscription for notes and make appropriate disclosure in a timely manner to ensure compliance with the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Notes Subscriptions are on normal commercial Terms and are fair and reasonable, and that the entering into of the Notes Subscriptions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Although a general meeting will not be convened by the Company to approve the Notes Subscriptions and the transaction contemplated thereunder, if such a general meeting was to be convened by the Company, the Board would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to approve the Notes Subscriptions and the transaction contemplated thereunder.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the financial and general information set out in the appendices to this circular.
