(c) The Company will make periodic announcement(s) as to the use of the Net Proceeds as and when such proceeds are materially disbursed and whether such use is in accordance with the stated use.

Where the Net Proceeds have been used for working capital purposes, the Company will provide a breakdown with specific details on how the Net Proceeds have been applied in the announcements and status report. Where there is any material deviation from the stated use of the Net Proceeds, the Company will announce the reasons for such deviation.

4.3. Confirmation by Directors
