Toh Guan Road East instead of part funding the remaining
outstanding amounts of the BTS development as stated in the
announcements dated 21 October 2010 and 2 November 2010. In

been raised for the acquisition of

Road East.

over the next 12 to
18 months and the Manager currently intends to finance the
same through its existing banking facilities. Notwithstanding
its current intention, the Manager may, subject to relevant

finance the acquisition of 3C Toh Guan Road East is in line
with its pro-active capital
management strategy.
