For identification purposes only

Ms. Selena Leong Siew Tee (૑Ӹࢌ), aged 46, is an associate member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA), United Kingdom. She is also an associate member and a practicing chartered secretary of the Chartered Secretaries Institute of Singapore. Ms. Leong has over 20 years of experience in corporate secretarial practice in Malaysia and Singapore. She is currently a senior manager of Tricor Singapore Pte. Ltd.

Ms. Leong is a resident residing in Singapore and is thus able to satisfy the requirement under the Singapore Companies Act that all companies incorporated in Singapore shall appoint a company secretary who must be residing locally in Singapore. However, Ms. Leong does not possess the academic or professional qualifications required under note 1 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules and the relevant experience as set out in paragraphs (a) to (c) in note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules.

By reason of the above, the Company has applied for and has been granted by the Stock Exchange a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements as set out in Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules for a three-year period from the date of appointment of Ms. Leong as a joint company secretary of the Company (the "Waiver Period"), subject to the following conditions:

(i) Ms. Leong will be assisted by Mr. Leung Lok Wai ("Mr. Leung") during the Waiver Period;

  • (ii) the Company must notify the Stock Exchange at the end of the Waiver Period for the Stock Exchange to re-visit the situation. The Stock Exchange expects that, after the end of the Waiver Period, the Company will be able to demonstrate that Ms. Leong can satisfy Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules after having the benefit of Mr. Leung's assistance such that a further waiver will not be necessary; and

  • (iii) the Company will disclose details of the waiver, including reasons for the waiver and the waiver conditions, by way of an announcement.

The waiver will be revoked immediately if and when Mr. Leung ceases to provide assistance to Ms. Leong.

GENERAL

The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its warm welcome to Ms. Leong on her appointment.
