Subject to the terms and conditions to be set out in the formal offer document to be issued by OCBC for and on behalf of the Offeror (the "Offer Document"), the Offer will be made by the Offeror in accordance with Section 139 of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore (the "Securities and Futures Act") and the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (the "Code") on the following basis:

  1. Offer Shares. The Offeror will make the Offer for all of the Shares in issue (excluding any treasury shares), including any Shares owned, controlled or agreed to be acquired by parties acting or deemed to be acting in concert with the Offeror in relation to the Offer.
  2. Offer Price. The offer price for each Share (the "Offer Price") will be as follows:
    For each Share: S$0.650 in cash.
    The Offer Price is final and the Offeror does not intend to revise the Offer Price.
  3. Rights and Encumbrances of Shares. The Shares will be acquired:
    1. fully paid;
    2. free from all claims, charges, liens, pledge, mortgages, encumbrances, declaration of trust, hypothecation, retention of title, power of sale, equity, options, rights of pre-emption, rights of first refusal, moratorium or other third party rights or interests of any nature whatsoever; and
    3. together with all rights, benefits and entitlements attached thereto as at the date of this announcement (the "Announcement Date") and hereafter attaching thereto, including but not limited to the right to receive and retain (if any) all dividends, rights, other distributions and/or return of capital (collectively, the "Distributions") announced, declared, paid or made by the Company in respect of the Shares on or after the Announcement Date, except for the interim dividend of S$0.005 per Share announced by the Company on 12 August 2020 (the "Interim Dividend").

or after the Announcement Date to a shareholder of the Company (a "Shareholder", and collectively, the "Shareholders") who accepts or has accepted the Offer and the settlement date in respect of the Shares accepted pursuant to the Offer falls after the books closure date for the determination of entitlements to such Distribution, the Offeror reserves the right to reduce the Offer Price payable to such accepting Shareholder by the amount of such Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, the Interim Dividend will not be deducted from the Offer Price.

  1. Acceptance Condition. The Offer will be conditional on the Offeror having received, by the close of the Offer, valid acceptances (which have not been withdrawn) in respect of such number of Shares which will result in the Offeror and parties acting or deemed to be acting in concert with it holding 90 per cent. or more of the total number of Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the close of the Offer (the "Acceptance Condition").

For this purpose, the "maximum potential issued share capital of the Company" means the total number of Shares which would be in issue (excluding treasury shares), and if and to the extent that the Company has any outstanding instruments convertible into, rights to subscribe for, or options in respect of, Shares, had all such instruments, subscription rights and options been exercised as at the date of such declaration.

6. RATIONALE FOR THE OFFER

6.1 Opportunity for Shareholders to Exit their Investment at an Attractive Price and Compelling Premium.

Against the backdrop of a challenging macro and operating environment in connection with, inter alia, the COVID-19 pandemic and the unresolved trade negotiations between China and the United States, the Offeror is of the view that the Offer represents an attractive cash exit opportunity for Shareholders to exit their entire investment with price certainty at a compelling premium to the prevailing market prices, without incurring brokerage and other trading costs.

  1. The Offer Price represents an all-time high exceeding all previous closing share prices in the Company's history, representing a premium of approximately 17.1 per cent to its highest closing price2 per Share.

2 Refers to the closing price per Share of S$0.555 on 4 August 2020 and 7 August 2020, which is the highest closing price per Share since the commencement of trading in the Shares on the SGX-ST on 24 March 1994.

7

  1. The Offer Price also represents a premium of approximately 30.8 per cent., 33.5 per cent., 40.8 per cent. and 42.5 per cent. over the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") per Share for the one-month,three-month,six-month and twelve-month periods respectively up to and including the Last Unaffected Trading Date (as defined below) and a premium of approximately 30.0 per cent. over the closing price per Share of S$0.500 as quoted on the SGX-ST on the Last Unaffected Trading Date.
  1. Opportunity for Shareholders to Exit their Investment, which may otherwise be Difficult due to Low Trading Liquidity. The trading volume of the Shares has been generally low, with an average daily trading volume3 of approximately 155,762 Shares, 61,567 Shares, 46,131 Shares and 53,437 Shares during the one-month, three-month,six- month and twelve-monthperiods respectively up to and including the Last Trading Day (as defined below). Each of these represents less than approximately 0.067 per cent. of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) for any of the aforementioned relevant periods.
    The low trading liquidity may not provide Shareholders with sufficient opportunity to efficiently exit their investments in the Company. Hence, the Offer represents a unique cash exit opportunity for Shareholders to liquidate and realise their entire investment at a premium to the prevailing market prices, an option which may not otherwise be readily available due to the low trading liquidity of the Shares.
  2. No Necessity for Access to Equity Capital Markets. The Company has not carried out any exercise to raise equity capital on the SGX-STsince October 2001. The Company is

3 The average daily trading volume is computed based on the total volume of Shares traded divided by the number of Market Days with respect to the one-month period, three-month period, six-month period and twelve-month period up to and including the Last Trading Day. "Market Day" refers to a day on which the SGX-ST is open for the trading of securities.

8

unlikely to require access to Singapore equity capital markets to finance its operations in the foreseeable future as the Company has various other available funding sources such as bank borrowing facilities. Accordingly, it is not necessary for the Company to maintain a listing on the SGX-ST.

6.4 Greater Management Flexibility. The Offeror is making the Offer with a view to delist the Company from the SGX-ST and exercise its rights of compulsory acquisition. The Offeror believes that privatising the Company will provide the Offeror with more flexibility to manage the business of the Company and optimise the use of the Company's management and resources during this time of economic uncertainty.

  1. OFFEROR'S INTENTIONS FOR THE COMPANY
    The Offeror intends for the Company to continue its existing business activities and there are currently no plans to (i) introduce any major changes to the business of the Company, (ii) re-deploy any of the fixed assets of the Company or (iii) discontinue the employment of any of the existing employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, other than in the ordinary course of business. However, the Offeror retains and reserves the right and flexibility at any time and from time to time to consider any options or opportunities in relation to the Company which may present themselves and which the Offeror may regard to be in the best interests of the Company.
  2. COMPULSORY ACQUISITION
  1. Compulsory Acquisition Rights. Pursuant to Section 215(1) of the Companies Act Chapter 50 of Singapore (the "Companies Act"), if the Offeror receives valid acceptances pursuant to the Offer or acquires the Shares during the offer period otherwise than through valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of not less than 90 per cent. of the total number of Shares (other than those already held by the Offeror, its related corporations or their respective nominees as at the date of despatch of the Offer Document), the Offeror will be entitled to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire all the Shares of the Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer (the "Dissenting Shareholders") on the same terms as those offered under the Offer.
    In the event that the Offeror becomes entitled to exercise its right under Section 215(1) of the Companies Act to compulsorily acquire all the Shares of the Dissenting Shareholders, the Offeror intends to exercise such right. In such event, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror and the Offeror will then proceed to delist the Company from the SGX-ST.
  2. Dissenting Shareholders' Rights. 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 the Offeror, its related corporations or their respective nominees, comprise 90 per cent. or more of the total number of Shares, the Dissenting Shareholders have a right to require the Offeror to acquire their Shares at the Offer Price. Dissenting Shareholders who wish to exercise such a right are advised to seek their own independent legal advice.

9

9. LISTING STATUS OF THE COMPANY

  1. Listing Status of the Company. Under Rule 723 of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (the "Listing Manual"), the Company must ensure that at least 10 per cent. of the total number of the Shares (excluding treasury shares) is at all times held by the public (the "Free Float Requirement").
    Under Rule 1105 of the Listing Manual, in the event that the Offeror and parties acting in concert with the Offeror should, as a result of the Offer or otherwise, own or control more than 90 per cent. of the 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 per cent. of the issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) are held by at least 500 Shareholders who are members of the public.
    Further, under Rule 1303(1) of the Listing Manual, where the Offeror succeeds in garnering acceptances exceeding 90 per cent. of the Shares (excluding treasury shares), thus causing the percentage of the Company's total number of Shares (excluding treasury shares) in public hands to fall below 10 per cent., the SGX-ST will suspend trading of Shares at the close of the Offer.
    In addition, under Rule 724(1) of the Listing Manual, if the Free Float Requirement is not complied with, the Company must, as soon as possible, announce that fact and the SGX- ST may suspend trading of all the Shares on the SGX-ST. Rule 724(2) of the Listing Manual states that the SGX-ST may allow the Company a period of three months, or such longer period as the SGX-ST may agree, for the proportion of the Shares held by members of the public to be raised to at least 10 per cent., failing which the Company may be delisted from the SGX-ST.
  2. Intention of the Offeror. In the event the Offeror is unable to exercise the right to compulsorily acquire all the Shares not acquired under the Offer as set out in Paragraph 8 of this Announcement and the Company does not meet the Free Float Requirement under Rule 723 of the Listing Manual, the Offeror and the Consortium Members do not intend to support any action taken or to be taken to meet the Free Float Requirement or maintain the present listing status of the Company.
    Accordingly, the Offeror and the Consortium Members do not intend to place out any Shares held by the Offeror and the Consortium Members to members of the public to meet the Free Float Requirement. If the Company does not meet the requirements under Rule 723 of the Listing Manual, the SGX-ST may suspend trading of the Shares on the SGX-ST following the close of the Offer.
    In addition, the Offeror intends, and hereby reserves its right, to take steps at an appropriate time, whether during or after the Offer, to seek a voluntary delisting of the Company from the SGX-ST, where permitted by, and in accordance with, the relevant requirements of the Listing Manual and the Code.
