3.4. Completion

The completion of the respective Proposed Debt Conversions will occur on the date falling five (5) business days after all of the Conditions have been satisfied and/or waived, or such other date as may be mutually agreed between the respective Lenders and the Company.

4. SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED DEBT CONVERSIONS AND ABSTENTION FROM VOTING

  • 4.1. Pursuant to Section 161 of the Companies Act 1967 and Rule 805 of the Catalist Rules, the Proposed Debt Conversions and the issuance of the Debt Conversion Shares will be made pursuant to specific approval of Shareholders to be obtained at an EGM to be convened. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be relying on its existing general share issue

4

mandate approved by Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 29 July 2025 for the allotment and issuance of the Debt Conversion Shares.

  • 4.2. Rules 812(1) and 812(2) of the Catalist Rules provide that, inter alia , an issue of shares must not be placed to the issuer’s directors and substantial shareholders unless specific shareholders’ approval has been obtained for such placement, and the person, and its associates, must abstain from voting on the resolution approving the placement. As both Lee Sui Hee and Zhou Xinping are persons falling within the categories set out in Rule 812 of the Catalist Rules, the Company will seek approval from Shareholders for each of the LSH Debt Conversion and ZXP Debt Conversion.

  • 4.3. Upon completion of the Proposed Debt Conversions, Lee Sui Hee will hold 532,400,010 Shares, representing approximately 28.28% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company and become a controlling shareholder of the Company. The Company will seek specific approval from Shareholders for the transfer of controlling interest to Lee Sui Hee in respect of the LSH Debt Conversion pursuant to Rule 803 of the Catalist Rules.

  • 4.4. Accordingly, Lee Sui Hee, Zhou Xinping and their respective associates will abstain from voting on the relevant Proposed Debt Conversions resolutions.

5. ZXP DEBT CONVERSION AS AN INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTION UNDER CHAPTER 9 OF THE CATALIST RULES

  • 5.1. Transactions entered into between an issuer’s “interested person” and the issuer, its subsidiaries or associated companies (which the listed group or its interested persons have control over) are deemed “interested person transactions” (“ IPT ”) and subject to Chapter 9 of the Catalist Rules. Zhou Xinping is an Executive Director of the Company and is deemed to be an interested person as defined under Chapter 9 of the Catalist Rules. Accordingly, the ZXP Debt Conversion constitutes an IPT. The other Lender, Lee Sui Hee is not interested person as defined under Chapter 9 of the Catalist Rules.

  • 5.2. Based on the Company's latest audited financial statements for FY2025, the Group was in a negative NTA position of approximately S$3,519,137. Given that the Group’s latest audited NTA as at 31 March 2025 is negative, it might not be meaningful to adopt the NTA as the basis to compute the materiality threshold in relation to Rule 905 and Rule 906. Pursuant to Rule 905(4) and Rule 906(3) of the Catalist Rules, if the group's latest audited NTA is negative, the issuer should consult the SGX-ST on the appropriate benchmark to calculate the relevant thresholds in Rules 905(1), 905(2) and 906(1) of the Catalist Rules, which may be based on its market capitalisation. The Company will be consulting SGX-ST on the appropriate benchmark to calculate the relevant thresholds in Rules 905(1), 905(2) and 906(1) of the Catalist Rules, which may be based on the market capitalisation of the Company as at 31 March 2025.

  • 5.3. Assuming that market capitalisation of the Company as at 31 March 2025 is the appropriate benchmark to calculate the relevant thresholds in Rules 905(1), 905(2) and 906(1) of the Catalist Rules (“ IPT Reference Date ”), the value of the ZXP Debt Conversion of S$352,389 represents approximately 3.73% of the Company market capitalisation of S$9,452,275 (computed based on the volume weighted average price of $0.0080 and the number of Shares then in issue of 1,181,534,398 Shares) as at 26 March 2025, being the last market day on which the Company’s Shares were traded before IPT Reference Date. As such, the ZXP Debt Conversion constitutes a discloseable IPT under Rule 905(1) of the Catalist Rules.

  • 5.4. Save as disclosed above, there are no other IPTs entered into between the Company and Zhou Xinping or his associates for the current financial year ending 31 March 2026 up to the date of this announcement.

  • 5.5. The Audit Committee of the Company having considered, inter alia , the terms and conditions of the Debt Conversion Deeds, the rationale for the Proposed Debt Conversions, the Debt Conversion Price, the financial performance of the Group and the financial effects of the Proposed Debt Conversion, is of the opinion that the ZXP Debt Conversion is on normal commercial terms, and is not prejudicial to the interests of the Company and its minority Shareholders.

6. ADDITIONAL LISTING APPLICATION

The Company will be applying to the SGX-ST, through its sponsor, UOB Kay Hian Private Limited (“ Sponsor ”), for the dealing in, listing of and quotation for the Debt Conversion Shares on the Catalist and will make the necessary announcement upon receipt of the LQN from the SGX-ST.

7. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED DEBT CONVERSIONS

  • 7.1. The rationale of the Proposed Debt Conversions is to reduce the Group’s indebtedness, improve the Group’s debt-equity ratio, and eliminate the need for any cash repayment, in view of the current financial and cash position of the Group. The Proposed Debt Conversions is also intended to provide greater financial stability to the Group and to alleviate pressures on its cash flow.
