1 INTRODUCTION<br />

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Company refers to its announcement made on 14<br />

August 2010 in relation to the above matter (the “Previous Announcement”).<br />

All capitalised terms and references used in this Announcement shall, unless otherwise<br />

defined herein, have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Previous Announcement.<br />

2 UNDERTAKING BY MR. YANG YI-CHUNG<br />

The Board is pleased to announce that in addition to the Letters of Undertaking issued by<br />

each of Mr. Koh Kian Kiong (“KKK”) and Fame Asia Limited (‘Fame”) in favour of the<br />

Company and the Manager and Underwriter (as defined below), Mr. Yang Yi-Chung (“YYC”<br />

or the “Sub-Underwriter” and collectively with KKK and Fame, the “Undertaking<br />

Shareholders”) has also issued a letter of undertaking in favour of the Company and the<br />

Manager and Underwriter (“Additional Undertaking” and collectively with the Letters of<br />

Undertaking provided by KKK and Fame, the “Letters of Undertaking”) in support of the<br />

Rights Issue.<br />

To demonstrate his commitment to the Company, YYC has, pursuant to the Additional<br />

Undertaking, undertaken that, among others:-<br />

a) he will maintain his interests in an aggregate of not less than 30,192,058 Shares until<br />

the issue of the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue; and<br />

b) he will subscribe for all the Rights Shares that he is entitled to subscribe for under the<br />

Rights Issue at the Issue Price, amounting to 21,134,440 Rights Shares.<br />

As at the date of this Announcement, YYC is a substantial shareholder of the Company<br />

holding directly and/or indirectly, an aggregate of 30,192,058 Shares representing<br />

approximately 5.60% of the total issued and paid-up capital of the Company.<br />

In view of this, the Undertaking Shareholders have undertaken to subscribe for a total<br />

number of 121,629,703 Rights Shares (the “Undertaking Shares’).<br />

3 CONFIRMATION OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES<br />

The Undertaking Shareholders have delivered to the Company letters issued by financial<br />

institutions to the SGX-ST confirming that the Undertaking Shareholders will have sufficient<br />

financial resources to fulfill their respective obligations under the relevant Letters of<br />

Undertaking (“Confirmation of Financial Resources Letters”).<br />

The Confirmation of Financial Resources Letters will be submitted by the Manager and<br />

Underwriter to SGX-ST in due course.<br />

4 UNDERWRITING AND SUB-UNDERWRITING ARRANGEMENT<br />

The Board is also pleased to announce that it has successfully arranged for DMG & Partners<br />

Securities Pte Ltd (the “Manager and Underwriter”) to partially underwrite the Rights Issue.<br />

The Company has entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”)<br />

with the Manager and Underwriter, to underwrite up to 75,000,000 Rights Shares, other than<br />

the Undertaking Shares (the “Underwritten Shares”).<br />

In consideration of the Manager and Underwriter’s agreement to underwrite the Underwritten<br />

Shares, the Company will pay the Manager and Underwriter an underwriting fee of 3.95% of<br />

the aggregate amount of the Issue Price of the Underwritten Shares.<br />

The Manager and Underwriter advised in writing that it will partially underwrite the<br />

Underwritten Shares on condition that the Sub-Underwriter will enter into a sub-underwriting<br />

arrangement with the Manager and Underwriter (the “Sub-Underwriting Arrangement”)<br />

pursuant to which, among others, the Sub-Underwriter will agree to sub-underwrite up to<br />

S$4 million worth of Rights Shares representing 50,000,000 Rights Shares (“Committed<br />

Allocated Rights Shares”).<br />

In consideration of the sub-underwriting commitment given by the Sub-Underwriter, the<br />

Manager and Underwriter has agreed to pay to the Sub-Underwriter a sub-underwriting fee<br />

equal to 3.50% of the aggregate amount of the Issue Price of the Committed Allocated<br />

Rights Shares.<br />

5 REVISED MINIMUM SUBSCRIPTION AMOUNT<br />

In view of the above and assuming that only the Undertaking Shareholders subscribe in full<br />

for the Undertaking Shares and that the Underwritten Shares are allotted and issued in full to<br />

the Manager and Underwriter, an aggregate of 196,629,703 new Shares will be issued<br />

pursuant to the Rights Issue (the “Minimum Subscription Scenario”).<br />

Consequently, under the Minimum Subscription Scenario, the Company expects to raise<br />

approximately S$15.25 million after deducting estimated expenses of approximately<br />

S$482,000.<br />

6 BOARD CONFIRMATION<br />

The Board has considered the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and is unanimously of<br />

the view that the terms of the Underwriting Agreement have been entered into on an arm’s<br />

length basis and are on normal commercial terms.<br />

The Board noted that the sub-underwriting fee to the Sub-Underwriter will be paid by the<br />

Manager and Underwriter out of its underwriting commission and will not lead to an<br />

additional cost to the Company over and above the underwriting commission payable to the<br />

Manager and Underwriter.<br />

The Board also noted that the Manager and Underwriter has confirmed that they had<br />

initiated the discussions for the Sub-Underwriting Arrangement with the Sub-Underwriter and<br />

that they would not proceed to partially underwrite the Rights Issue unless, among other<br />

things, the Sub-Underwriter entered into the Sub-Underwriting Arrangement.<br />

Accordingly, the Board is unanimously of the view that the underwriting structure for the<br />

Rights Issue, including the Sub-Underwriting Arrangement between the Manager and<br />

Underwriter and the Sub-Underwriter as described above and the fees payable to the<br />

Manager and Underwriter and the Sub-Underwriter, is fair, on arm’s length and normal<br />

commercial terms and not prejudicial to the interests of the Company and the other<br />

Shareholders.<br />

None of the Directors dissented in arriving at the above opinion.<br />

7 INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDERS<br />

Arfat Selvam Alliance LLC are the legal advisers to the Company in relation to the Rights Issue.<br />

Mr. Yee Kee Shian Leon, one of the independent Directors of the Company, is also a Director at<br />

Arfat Selvam Alliance LLC.<br />

Save as disclosed in this Announcement, none of the Directors of the Company or the<br />

substantial Shareholders have an interest, direct or indirect, in the Rights Issue other than<br />

through their respective shareholding interests, direct and/or indirect, in the Company.<br />

8 RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT<br />

The Directors (including any Director who may have delegated detailed supervision of the<br />

preparation of this Announcement) have taken all reasonable care to ensure that the facts<br />

stated in this Announcement are fair and accurate and that no material facts have been<br />

omitted from this Announcement, and they jointly and severally accept responsibility<br />

accordingly.<br />
