In respect of both the 2nd SGX EOT Application and 2nd ACRA EOT Application (collectively, the "2nd EOT Applications"), the Company is seeking a waiver, or in lieu thereof, an extension of time of up to three (3) months (and in the case of the announcement of the unaudited financial statements for Q2FY2022, up to four and a half (4.5) months) commencing from the currently applicable reporting dates (as set out in the tables below), for the reasons set out in Paragraph 3.

Reasons for the 2nd EOT Applications

In addition to the reasons elucidated in the Announcements which would continue to apply, the 2nd EOT Applications are sought based on inter alia the following reasons:

• (a) as announced by the Interim Judicial Managers on 18 March 2022, the hearing date for the JM Application has been fixed by the High Court of Singapore to be on 4 May 2022. Accordingly, the Interim Judicial Managers have been committing substantial time and resources towards their own preparations for the hearing. Concurrently, the Interim Judicial Managers have also continued their efforts to actively source for suitable investments and/or target businesses and/or assets.

• (b) it would be in the interest of the Company and its stakeholders if the Interim Judicial Managers are able to continue to commit substantial time and resources towards (i) the preparation for the hearing of the JM Application, as well as (ii) finalising a proposal with one or more interested parties which would serve in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders;

• (c) in particular, as the reporting deadline of 30 April 2022 for the Company to announce the unaudited financial statements for FY2021 falls very close to the hearing date of 4 May 2022, the Interim Judicial Managers have faced practical difficulties in procuring the Company to meet this reporting deadline. The financial statements remain a work in progress, and the Interim Judicial Managers will

require more time to work with the auditors of the Company to finalise the financial statements. It follows that since one of the key agenda items for the AGM would be to receive the full-year financial results, it would not be meaningful for the AGM in respect of FY2021 to be convened by 30 June 2022 in the absence of financial results for FY2021. It would also not be meaningful for an annual report to be issued in the absence of an accompanying AGM, and it would be logical for the financial statements for Q1FY2022 and Q2FY2022 to be finalized only after the financial statements for FY2021 are ready;

• (d) in view of the foregoing developments, the Interim Judicial Managers are similarly not in a position to comment on the sustainability practices of the Company, nor would it be appropriate for the Interim Judicial Managers to allocate resources towards this matter at this juncture; and

• (e) with respect of Catalist Rule 704(7), it would not be purposeful for the Interim Judicial Managers to expend resources towards filling any vacancy in the Audit Committee of the Company given that the Interim Judicial Managers are themselves authorised to exercise all powers and entitlements of directors of the Company conferred by the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 (Act. 40 of 2018), the Act, and the Constitution of the Company. It would instead be more appropriate for the Company to identify potential candidates to fill the vacancy on the Audit Committee after the Company has been discharged from judicial management.

Further announcements will be released as and when there are material developments on the above.
