VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

ENTERING INTO SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS

The Board is pleased to announce that on 6 June 2022, the Purchaser (a subsidiary of the Company) agreed to purchase 51% and 9% equity interest in the Target Company respectively from the First Vendor and the Second Vendors under (i) the Solid Success Sale and Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Other Shareholders' Sale and Purchase Agreement for a cash consideration which shall not exceed SGD185.021 million and SGD32.651 million respectively. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Target Company will become a subsidiary of the Company.

As all the applicable percentage ratios in relation to the Proposed Acquisitions contemplated under the Solid Success Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Other Shareholders' Sale and Purchase Agreement, on an aggregated basis, are less than 5%, the Proposed Acquisitions do not constitute notifiable transactions of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. This announcement is therefore made by the Company on a voluntary basis.
