7. LISTING STATUS AND COMPULSORY ACQUISITION

7.1 Listing Status

Pursuant to Rule 723 of the SGX-ST Listing Manual Section B: Rules of Catalist (“ Catalist Rules ”), the Company must ensure that at least 10% of the total number of Shares (excluding preference shares, convertible equity securities and treasury shares) in a class that is listed is at all times held by the public (the “ Free Float Requirement ”).

Pursuant to Rule 1104 of the Catalist Rules, in the event that the Offeror and parties acting or deemed to be acting in concert with the Offeror should, as a result of the Offer or otherwise, own or control more than 90% of the total number of Shares (excluding treasury shares), the SGX-ST may suspend the trading of the Shares on the SGX-ST until such time when the SGX-ST is satisfied that at least 10% of the total number of Shares (excluding treasury shares) are held by at least 200 Shareholders who are members of the public.

Under Rule 1303(1) of the Catalist Rules, where the Offeror succeeds in garnering acceptances exceeding 90% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares), thus causing the percentage of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) held in public hands to fall below 10%, the SGX-ST will suspend trading of the listed securities of the Company at the close of the Offer. In addition, under Rule 724(1) of the Catalist Rules, if the Free Float Requirement is not complied with, the Company must, as soon as possible, notify its sponsor of that fact and announce that fact and the SGX-ST may suspend trading of all the Shares on the SGX-ST. Rule 724(2) of the Catalist Rules states that the SGX-ST may allow the Company a period of three (3) months, or such longer period as the SGX-ST may agree, for the percentage of the Shares held by members of the public to be raised to at least 10%, failing which the Company may be delisted from the SGX-ST.

It is the current intention of the Offeror to maintain the listing status of the Company on the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST. In the event that the Company does not meet the Free Float Requirement at the close of the Offer and the SGX-ST suspends trading in the Shares, the Offeror intends to work together with the Company and take such steps which are necessary to restore the free float of the Company in order to maintain the listing status of the Company.

5

7.2 No Compulsory Acquisition

Pursuant to Section 215(1) of the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore (the “ Companies Act ”), if the Offeror receives valid acceptances pursuant to the Offer and/or acquires such number of Offer Shares from the date of the despatch of the Offer Document (otherwise than through valid acceptances of the Offer) in respect of not less than 90% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and other than those already held by the Offeror, its related corporations or their respective nominees as at the date of the Offer), the Offeror will be entitled to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire all the Shares of Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer (“ Dissenting Shareholders ”) on the same terms as those offered under the Offer.

As stated above, it is the current intention of the Offeror to maintain the listing status of the Company. Accordingly, the Offeror presently has no intention of exercising its right of compulsory acquisition under Section 215(1) of the Companies Act, should such right be available to it.

In addition, pursuant to Section 215(3) of the Companies Act, if the Offeror acquires such number of Shares which, together with the Shares held by it, its related corporations and their respective nominees, comprise 90% or more of the total number of issued Shares (including treasury shares), the Dissenting Shareholders will have a right to require the Offeror to acquire their Shares at the Offer Price.
