RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN SUSPENSION OF TRADING

As mentioned in the Announcements, the JPLs have been actively negotiating with potential investors and creditors of the Company in order to formulate a restructuring plan for the Company on or before 31 January 2020.

On 21 January 2020, the JPLs received an indicative term sheet in respect of the restructuring of the Company, which was further revised on 24 January 2020, from one of the potential investors (the"Potential Investor"). Since the receipt of the aforementioned term sheet, the Company has been negotiating with the Potential Investor on the terms and conditions of the restructuring of the Company based on the aforementioned term sheet. Accordingly, on 31 January 2020, the JPLs submitted an application to the Stock Exchange for an extension of time for the submission of Resumption Proposal.

On 7 February 2020, the JPLs received a letter from the Stock Exchange, pursuant to which, the extension of time for the submission of Resumption Proposal was not granted, and the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange has decided to cancel the Company's listing under Rule 6.01A of the Listing Rule (the"Decision").

Under Chapter 2B of the Listing Rules, the Company has the right to have the Decision referred to the Listing Review Committee of the Stock Exchange for a further and final review and such review request is required to be made within 7 business days from the receipt of the Decision. Accordingly, the Company has made an application to the Stock Exchange for a review of the Decision on 14 February 2020.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company as and when appropriate and in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.
