Dear Sir/Madam,

THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 2026 AGM

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2. THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

2.1 Background

It is a requirement under the Companies Act and the Listing Manual that a company that wishes to purchase or otherwise acquire its own shares must obtain the approval of its shareholders at a general meeting. In this regard, at the 2025 AGM, Shareholders approved the adoption of the Share Buy-Back Mandate to enable the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire its Shares upon and subject to the terms of the Share Buy-Back Mandate. The rationale for, the authority and limitations on, and the financial effects of, the Share Buy-Back Mandate were set out in the appendix dated 8 April 2025 to the notice of the 2025 AGM.

The Share Buy-Back Mandate was expressed to take effect on the date of the 2025 AGM and will expire on the date of the forthcoming 2026 AGM. Accordingly, the Directors propose to seek approval from Shareholders for the Proposed Renewal of the Share Buy-Back Mandate at the 2026 AGM under Ordinary Resolution 11.

2.2 Rationale for the Share Buy-Back Mandate

The Directors constantly seek to increase Shareholder value and to improve, inter alia , the return on equity of the Group. Share Purchases made at an appropriate price level is one of the ways through which the return on equity of the Group may be enhanced.

Share Purchases provide the Company with a mechanism to facilitate the return of surplus cash over and above its ordinary capital requirements in an expedient, effective and cost-efficient manner. It will also provide the Directors with greater flexibility over the Company’s share capital structure with a view to enhancing the EPS of the Group.

The Directors further believe that Share Purchases may help to mitigate short-term market volatility, offset the effects of short-term speculation and bolster Shareholders’ confidence.

If and when circumstances permit, the Directors will decide whether to effect On-Market Purchases or Off-Market Purchases, after taking into account the amount of surplus cash available, the prevailing market conditions and the most cost-effective and efficient approach. The Directors do not propose to carry out Share Purchases to an extent that would, or in circumstances that might, result in a material adverse effect on the liquidity and/or the orderly trading of the Shares and/or the financial position of the Group, taking into account the working capital requirements, the availability of financial resources and the gearing levels of the Company and the Group, which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

2.3 Authority and Limits of the Share Buy-Back Mandate

The authority and limits placed on the Share Purchases by the Company under the Share Buy-Back Mandate, if renewed at the 2026 AGM, are substantially the same as those previously approved by Shareholders at the 2025 AGM, and are summarised below.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.3.1 Maximum Number of Shares

Only Shares that are issued and fully paid-up may be purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate. The maximum number of Shares which may be purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate during the Mandate Duration is limited to that number of issued Shares representing not more than ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution relating to the Proposed Renewal of the Share Buy-Back Mandate (excluding any treasury shares and subsidiary holdings as at that date). If the Company has, at any time during the Relevant Period, reduced its share capital by a special resolution under Section 78C of the Companies Act, or the court has, at any time during the Relevant Period, made an order under Section 78I confirming the reduction of share capital of the Company, the total number of Shares shall be taken to be the total number of Shares as altered by the special resolution of the Company or the order of the court, as the case may be. For the purposes of computing the ten per cent. (10%) limit, any of the Shares which are held as treasury shares or subsidiary holdings shall be disregarded. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any treasury shares or subsidiary holdings.

For illustration purposes only , on the basis of 888,167,856 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date (excluding nil treasury shares and nil subsidiary holdings), and assuming that on or prior to the 2026 AGM (i) no additional Shares are allotted and issued, (ii) no Shares are purchased or otherwise acquired and held as treasury shares or cancelled, and (iii) no Shares are held as subsidiary holdings, not more than 88,816,785 Shares (representing ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued Shares excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings as at that date), may be purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate.

2.3.2 Duration of Authority

Unless varied or revoked by Shareholders in general meeting, if the Proposed Renewal of the Share Buy-Back Mandate is approved by Shareholders at the 2026 AGM, the authority conferred on the Directors pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate may be exercised by the Directors at any time and from time to time during the period commencing from the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution relating to the Proposed Renewal of the Share Buy-Back Mandate and expiring on the earliest of:

  • (a) the date on which the next AGM of the Company is held;

  • (b) the date by which the next AGM of the Company is required by law to be held; or

  • (c) the date on which the purchases or acquisitions of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate are carried out to the full extent mandated.

The Share Buy-Back Mandate may be renewed at each AGM or other general meeting of the Company. When seeking the approval of Shareholders for the renewal of the Share Buy-Back Mandate, the Company is required to disclose details of any Share Purchases made by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate in the previous 12 months (whether by way of On-Market Purchases, or Off-Market Purchases in accordance with an equal access scheme), including the total number of Shares purchased, the purchase price per Share or the highest and lowest prices paid for the purchases or acquisitions, where relevant, the total consideration paid for the purchases or acquisitions, and whether the Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company will be cancelled or kept as treasury shares.

10

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

  • 2.3.3 Manner of Share Purchases

Share Purchases may be made by way of:

  • (a) on-market purchases transacted through the SGX-ST’s trading system or, as the case may be, on another stock exchange on which the Shares may for the time being be listed and quoted (the “ Other Exchange ”) (“ On-Market Purchases ”); and/or

  • (b) off-market purchases (if effected otherwise than on the SGX-ST or, as the case may be, the Other Exchange) in accordance with any equal access scheme(s) as may be determined or formulated by the Directors as they consider fit, which scheme(s) shall satisfy all the conditions prescribed by the Companies Act (“ Off-Market Purchases ”).

The Board may impose such terms and conditions as it deems fit in the interests of the Company in connection with, or in relation to, an equal access scheme provided that such terms and conditions are consistent with the Companies Act, the Listing Manual and the Share Buy-Back Mandate.

Pursuant to the Companies Act, Off-Market Purchases in accordance with an equal access scheme must satisfy all the following conditions:

  • (a) the offers under the equal access scheme are to be made to every person who holds shares to purchase or acquire the same percentage of their shares;

  • (b) all of those persons have a reasonable opportunity to accept the offers made to them; and

  • (c) the terms of all the offers are the same, except that there shall be disregarded:

  • (i) differences in consideration attributable to the fact that the offers relate to shares with different accrued dividend entitlements;

  • (ii) differences in consideration attributable to the fact that the offers relate to shares with different amounts remaining unpaid; and

  • (iii) differences in the offers introduced solely to ensure that each member is left with a whole number of shares.

In addition, pursuant to Rule 885 of the Listing Manual, an issuer making an Off-Market Purchase in accordance with an equal access scheme must issue an offer document to all shareholders containing at least the following information:

  • (a) the terms and conditions of the offer;

  • (b) the period and procedures for acceptances;

  • (c) the reasons for the Off-Market Purchase in accordance with the equal access scheme;

  • (d) the consequences, if any, of Share Purchases by the Company that will arise under the Take-over Code or other applicable take-over rules;

  • (e) whether Share Purchases, if made, could affect the listing of the Company’s equity securities on the SGX-ST;

11

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

  • (f) details of any Share Purchases made by the Company in the previous 12 months (whether by On-Market Purchases or Off-Market Purchases in accordance with an equal access scheme), giving the total number of Shares purchased, the purchase price per Share or the highest and lowest prices paid for the purchases or acquisitions, where relevant, and the total consideration paid for the purchases or acquisitions; and

  • (g) whether the Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company will be cancelled or kept as treasury shares.

2.3.4 Maximum Price

The purchase price (excluding brokerage, commission, applicable goods and services tax, stamp duties, clearance fees and other related expenses) to be paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition of Shares from Shareholders (the “ Maximum Price ”), as determined by the Board, shall not exceed:

  • (a) in the case of an On-Market Purchase, 105% of the Average Closing Price of the Shares; and

  • (b) in the case of an Off-Market Purchase, 120% of the Average Closing Price of the Shares.

For the above purposes:

Average Closing Price ” means the average of the closing market prices of a Share over the last five (5) market days on which transactions in the Shares were recorded, immediately preceding the date of the On-Market Purchase by the Company or, as the case may be, the date of the making of the offer pursuant to the Off-Market Purchase, and deemed to be adjusted, in accordance with the rules of the SGX-ST, for any corporate action that occurs during the relevant five (5)-day period and the date of the On-Market Purchase by the Company or, as the case may be, the date of the making of the offer pursuant to the Off-Market Purchase; and

date of the making of the offer ” means the date on which the Company announces its intention to make an offer for the purchase or acquisition of Shares from Shareholders, stating therein the purchase price (which shall not be more than the Maximum Price calculated on the foregoing basis) for each Share and the relevant terms of the equal access scheme for effecting the Off-Market Purchase.

2.4 Status of Purchased Shares

Any Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company from Shareholders pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate shall, unless held as treasury shares in accordance with the Companies Act, be deemed cancelled immediately on purchase or acquisition (and all rights and privileges attached to such Shares will expire on such cancellation). All cancelled Shares will be automatically delisted by the SGX-ST, and (where applicable) all certificates in respect thereof will be cancelled and destroyed by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following settlement of such Share Purchase. Accordingly, the total number of issued Shares will be diminished by the number of Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company which are not held as treasury shares.

At the time of each purchase or acquisition of Shares, the Directors will decide whether the Shares purchased or acquired will be cancelled or kept as treasury shares, or partly cancelled and partly kept as treasury shares, depending on the needs of the Company and as the Directors deem fit in the interests of the Company at that time.

12

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.5 Treasury Shares

Under the Companies Act, Shares purchased or acquired by the Company may be held or dealt with as treasury shares. Some of the provisions of the Companies Act relating to treasury shares are summarised below.

2.5.1 Maximum Holdings

The aggregate number of Shares held as treasury shares[1] cannot at any time exceed ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued Shares at that time.

Where the aggregate number of Shares held as treasury shares exceeds ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued Shares, the Company shall dispose of or cancel the excess treasury shares before the end of the period of six (6) months beginning with the day on which such limit is exceeded, or such further period as ACRA may allow.

2.5.2 Voting and Other Rights

The Company shall not exercise any right in respect of the treasury shares and any purported exercise of such a right is void. In particular, the Company shall not exercise any right to attend and vote at meetings, and for the purposes of the Companies Act, the Company shall be treated as having no right to vote and the treasury shares shall be treated as having no voting rights.

In addition, no dividend may be paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the Company’s assets may be made, to the Company in respect of treasury shares. However, an allotment and issue of Shares as fully paid bonus Shares in respect of treasury shares is allowed and the subdivision or consolidation of any treasury shares into treasury shares of a smaller or larger number is also allowed if the total value of the treasury shares after the subdivision or consolidation is the same as the total value of the treasury share before the subdivision or consolidation, as the case may be.

2.5.3 Disposal and Cancellation

Where Shares are held by the Company as treasury shares, the Company may at any time:

  • (a) sell the treasury shares (or any of them) for cash;

  • (b) transfer the treasury shares (or any of them) for the purposes of or pursuant to any share option scheme, performance share plan or share incentive scheme of the Company then in force, whether for employees, directors or other persons;

  • (c) transfer the treasury shares (or any of them) as consideration for the acquisition of shares in or assets of another company or assets of a person;

  • (d) cancel the treasury shares (or any of them); or

  • (e) sell, transfer or otherwise use the treasury shares for such other purposes as the Minister of Finance of Singapore may by order prescribe.

1 For these purposes, “ treasury shares ” shall be read as including shares held by a subsidiary under Sections 21(4B) or 21(6C) of the Companies Act.

13

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.6 Source of Funds

The Company may only apply funds legally available for Share Purchases pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate in accordance with the Constitution of the Company and the applicable laws in Singapore. The Company may not purchase or otherwise acquire its own Shares for a consideration other than cash or, in the case of On-Market Purchases, for settlement other than in accordance with the SGX-ST’s trading rules.

Pursuant to the Companies Act, the Company may purchase or otherwise acquire its own Shares out of the Company’s capital or profits so long as the Company is solvent. It is an offence for a Director or chief executive officer of the Company to approve or authorise the purchase or acquisition of the Company’s own Shares, knowing that the Company is not solvent. Pursuant to Section 76F(4) of the Companies Act, the Company is solvent if at the date of the payment the following conditions are satisfied:

  • (a) there is no ground on which the Company could be found to be unable to pay its debts;

  • (b) if:

  • (i) it is intended to commence winding up of the Company within the period of twelve (12) months immediately after the date of the payment, the Company will be able to pay its debts in full within the period of twelve (12) months after the date of commencement of the winding up; or

  • (ii) it is not intended to commence winding up, the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due during the period of twelve (12) months immediately after the date of the payment; and

  • (c) the value of the Company’s assets is not less than the value of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and will not, after the proposed purchase or acquisition of its own Shares, become less than the value of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities).

The Company intends to use its internal resources, external borrowings, or a combination of both to finance its Share Purchases (including any brokerage, commission, applicable goods and services tax, stamp duties, clearance fees and other related expenses incurred directly in relation to the Share Purchases). The Share Purchases by the Company will only be undertaken if such purchase or acquisition can benefit the Company and its Shareholders. The Company will only make purchases or acquisitions of Shares from Shareholders in circumstances where the Board believes that such purchases or acquisitions will not result in any material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Group, or cause illiquidity or affect orderly trading of the Shares.

2.7 Financial Effects

The financial effects on the Company and on the Group arising from the purchase or acquisition of Shares from Shareholders by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate will depend on, inter alia , whether the Shares purchased or acquired is an On-Market Purchase or an Off-Market Purchase, whether the Shares are purchased or acquired out of the Company’s capital or profits, the number of Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate, the consideration paid for such Shares and whether the Shares purchased or otherwise acquired are held as treasury shares or cancelled immediately on purchase or acquisition.

14

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

2.7.1 Purchase or Acquisition of Shares out of Profts and/or Capital

Where the purchase or acquisition of Shares is made out of distributable profits, the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by the Company will be correspondingly reduced. Where the consideration paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition of Shares is made out of capital, the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by the Company will not be reduced.

Where Shares of the Company are purchased or acquired, and cancelled, the Company shall:

  • (a) reduce the amount of its share capital where the Shares were purchased or acquired out of the capital of the Company;

  • (b) reduce the amount of its profits where the Shares were purchased or acquired out of the profits of the Company; or

  • (c) reduce the amount of its share capital and profits proportionately where the Shares were purchased or acquired out of both the capital and the profits of the Company,

by the total amount of the purchase price paid by the Company for the Shares cancelled, together with any expenses (including brokerage or commission) incurred directly in the purchase or acquisition of the Shares of the Company which is paid out of the Company’s capital and/or profits.

Where Shares of the Company are purchased or acquired and not cancelled, but held by the Company as treasury shares, there shall be no change in the amount of the Company’s share capital.

2.7.2 Illustrative Financial Efects

For illustration purposes only , the financial effects on the Company and on the Group arising from the purchase or acquisition of Shares from Shareholders by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate have been prepared based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for FY2025 and subject to, inter alia , the following assumptions:

  • (a) the aggregate number of Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate comprised 88,816,785 Shares, representing ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued Shares (excluding nil treasury shares and nil subsidiary holdings) as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming that on or prior to the 2026 AGM (i) no additional Shares are allotted and issued, (ii) no Shares are purchased or otherwise acquired and held as treasury shares or cancelled, and (iii) no Shares are held as subsidiary holdings;

  • (b) in the case of On-Market Purchases, the Maximum Price was S$1.6506 per Share (being 105% of the Average Closing Price of the Shares immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date), and accordingly, the maximum amount of funds required for effecting such On-Market Purchases (excluding brokerage, commission, applicable goods and services tax, stamp duties, clearance fees and other related expenses) would amount to approximately S$146,600,985;

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Shareholders should note that the financial effects set out above are for illustration purposes only and are based on the aforementioned assumptions. In particular, Shareholders should note that the financial effects set out above are based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for FY2025 and are not necessarily representative of the future financial performance of the Company and the Group. Although the Share Buy-Back Mandate would authorise the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire not more than ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings), the Company may not necessarily purchase or otherwise acquire Shares, or be able to carry out purchases or acquisitions of Shares to the full extent mandated pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate.

The Share Purchases will only be undertaken as and when the Board considers it to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. The Board does not propose to carry out Share Purchases to such an extent that would, or in circumstances that might, result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Group, or cause illiquidity or affect orderly trading of the Shares. In particular, the Board will only carry out the Share Purchases after taking into consideration relevant factors such as the amount of surplus cash available, working capital requirements and prevailing market conditions.

2.8 Tax Implications

Shareholders who are in doubt as to their respective tax positions or the tax implications of the Share Purchases by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate or who may be subject to tax whether in or outside Singapore should consult their tax advisers or other professional advisers.

2.9 Listing Status

Pursuant to Rule 723 of the Listing Manual, an issuer must ensure that at least ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares, preference shares and convertible equity securities) in a class that is listed is at all times held by the public. The term “ public ”, as defined under the Listing Manual, are persons other than the directors, chief executive officer, substantial shareholders or controlling shareholders of the issuer or its subsidiary companies, the associates of such persons and founding shareholders and management team of special purpose acquisition company and their associates.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 669,331,431 Shares in the hands of the public, representing approximately 75.36% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings).

For illustration purposes only , assuming that the Company carries out purchases or acquisitions of Shares to the full ten per cent. (10%) limit mandated under the Share Buy-Back Mandate and all such Shares purchased are held by the public, the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) held by the public would be reduced to 580,514,646 Shares, representing approximately 72.62% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings). Accordingly, the Company is of the view that there is a sufficient number of Shares in issue held by public Shareholders which would permit the Company to undertake purchases or acquisitions of its Shares up to the full ten per cent. (10%) pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate without affecting the listing status of the Shares on the SGX-ST, and that the number of Shares remaining in the hands of the public will not fall to such a level as to cause market illiquidity.

19

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

In undertaking any Share Purchases, the Directors will use their best efforts to ensure that, notwithstanding such Share Purchases, a sufficient number of Shares shall remain in public hands so that the Share Purchases will not:

  • (a) adversely affect the listing status of the Shares on the SGX-ST;

  • (b) cause market illiquidity; or

  • (c) adversely affect the orderly trading of the Shares.

2.10 Black-Out Periods

While the Listing Manual does not expressly prohibit any purchase of shares by a listed company during any particular time, because the listed company would be regarded as an “insider” in relation to any proposed purchase or acquisition of its issued shares, the Company will not purchase or otherwise acquire Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate at any time after any matter or development of a price sensitive nature has occurred or has been the subject of consideration and/or a decision of the Board until such price sensitive information has been publicly announced.

In particular, in accordance with Rule 1207(19)(c) of the Listing Manual, the Company will not purchase or otherwise acquire Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate or deal in its securities during the period commencing two (2) weeks before the announcement of the Company’s financial statements for each of the first three (3) quarters of its financial year, and one (1) month before the announcement of the Company’s full year financial statements.

2.11 Take-over Code Implications arising from the Share Purchases

Appendix 2 of the Take-over Code contains the Share Buy-Back Guidance Note applicable as at the Latest Practicable Date. The take-over implications arising from Share Purchases by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate are summarised below.

2.11.1 Obligation to make a Take-over Ofer

Under Rule 14 of the Take-over Code, a person will be required to make a general offer for a public company if:

  • (a) he acquires thirty per cent. (30%) or more of the voting rights of the company; or

  • (b) he holds between thirty per cent. (30%) and fifty per cent. (50%) of the voting rights of the company and he increases his voting rights in the company by more than one per cent. (1%) in any six (6)-month period.

Pursuant to paragraph 1 of the Share Buy-Back Guidance Note, when a company buys back its shares, any resulting increase in the percentage of voting rights held by a shareholder and persons acting in concert with him will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 14 of the Take-over Code. Consequently, a shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate effective control of the company and become obliged to make an offer under Rule 14 of the Take-over Code. The SIC should be consulted at the earliest opportunity as to whether an obligation to make an offer would arise.

2.11.2 Persons Acting in Concert

Pursuant to the Take-over Code, persons acting in concert comprise individuals or companies who, pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal), co-operate, through the acquisition by any of them of shares in a company, to obtain or consolidate effective control of that company.

20

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Without prejudice to the general application of the definition above, the following individuals and companies will be presumed to be persons acting in concert with each other unless the contrary is established:

  • (a) the following companies:

  • (i) a company;

  • (ii) the parent company of (i);

  • (iii) the subsidiaries of (i);

  • (iv) the fellow subsidiaries of (i);

  • (v) the associated companies of any of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv);

  • (vi) companies whose associated companies include any of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v); and

  • (vii) any person who has provided financial assistance (other than a bank in the ordinary course of business) to any of the above for the purchase of voting rights;

  • (b) a company with any of its directors (together with their close relatives, related trusts as well as companies controlled by any of the directors, their close relatives and related trusts);

  • (c) a company with any of its pension funds and employee share schemes;

  • (d) a person with any investment company, unit trust or other fund whose investment such person manages on a discretionary basis, but only in respect of the investment account which such person manages;

  • (e) a financial or other professional adviser, including a stockbroker, with its client in respect of the shareholdings of the adviser and persons controlling, controlled by or under the same control as the adviser;

  • (f) directors of a company (together with their close relatives, related trusts and companies controlled by any of such directors, their close relatives and related trusts) which is subject to an offer or where the directors have reason to believe a bona fide offer for their company may be imminent;

  • (g) partners; and

  • (h) the following persons and entities:

  • (i) an individual;

  • (ii) the close relatives of (i);

  • (iii) the related trusts of (i);

  • (iv) any person who is accustomed to act in accordance with the instructions of (i);

  • (v) companies controlled by any of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv); and

  • (vi) any person who has provided financial assistance (other than a bank in the ordinary course of business) to any of the above for the purchase of voting rights.

21

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

For the purposes of Section 2.11.2 of this Appendix:

  • (a) “ associated company ” (as defined in the Take-over Code) means an associated company of another company if the second company owns or controls at least twenty per cent. (20%) but not more than fifty per cent. (50%) of the voting rights of the first-mentioned company; and

  • (b) “ close relatives ” (as defined in the Take-over Code) include immediate family (i.e. parents, siblings, spouse and children), siblings of parents (i.e. uncles and aunts) as well as their children (i.e. cousins), and children of siblings (i.e. nephews and nieces).

The circumstances under which Shareholders (including the Directors) and persons acting in concert with them respectively will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer under Rule 14 of the Take-over Code as a result of a Share Purchase by the Company are set out in Appendix 2 of the Take-over Code.

2.11.3 Efect of Rule 14 of the Take-over Code and the Share Buy-Back Guidance Note

In general terms, the effect of Rule 14 and the Share Buy-Back Guidance Note is that, unless exempted, Shareholders (including Directors) and persons acting in concert with them will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer for the Company under Rule 14 of the Take-over Code if, as a result of the Company purchasing or acquiring its Shares:

  • (a) the voting rights of such Shareholders and/or their concert parties would increase to thirty per cent. (30%) or more; or

  • (b) in the event that such Shareholders and/or their concert parties hold between thirty per cent. (30%) and fifty per cent. (50%) of the voting rights in the Company, if the voting rights of such Shareholders and/or their concert parties would increase by more than one per cent. (1%) in any period of six (6) months.

In calculating the percentages of voting rights of such Shareholders and their concert parties, treasury shares shall be excluded.

Under the Share Buy-Back Guidance Note, a Shareholder, who is not acting in concert with the Directors, will not be required to make an offer under Rule 14 of the Take-over Code if, as a result of the Company buying back its own Shares, the voting rights of the Shareholder in the Company would increase to thirty per cent. (30%) or more, or, if the Shareholder holds between thirty per cent. (30%) and fifty per cent. (50%) of the Company’s voting rights, would increase by more than one per cent. (1%) in any period of six (6) months, as a result of the Company buying back its Shares. Such a Shareholder need not abstain from voting on the resolution to authorise the Share Buy-Back, unless so required under the Companies Act.

22

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Based on the information set out above, assuming that there is no change to the shareholdings of the Substantial Shareholders since the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Substantial Shareholders would become obliged to make a mandatory offer for the Company under Rule 14 of the Take-over Code as a result of Share Purchases by the Company of the maximum number of 88,816,785 Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate.

The take-over implications set out in Section 2.11 of this Appendix do not purport to be comprehensive or exhaustive description of all implications that may arise under the Take-over Code. Shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisers and/or the SIC and/or other relevant authorities at the earliest opportunity as to whether an obligation to make an offer under Rule 14 of the Take-over Code would arise as a result of any Share Purchases made by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate.
