Dear Shareholders

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING ON 18 SEPTEMBER 2020

This letter is circulated together with and forms part of Pipeline Engineering Holdings Limited's (the "Company") Notice of Annual General Meeting (the "Annual General Meeting"), proxy form (the "Proxy Form") and circular of the Annual General Meeting dated 27 July 2020 (the "Circular") in respect of the upcoming Annual General Meeting scheduled to be held on Friday, 18 September 2020 at 10:00 a.m..

We, the board of Directors (the "Board") wish to highlight the following updates due to the COVID-19 outbreak which has affected our Annual General Meeting preparation:

  1. On 13 April 2020, the COVID-19 (Alternative Arrangements for Meetings for Companies, Variable Capital Companies, Business Trusts, Unit Trusts and Debenture Holders) Order 2020 was gazetted in Singapore. This sets out the alternative arrangements in respect of, inter alia, general meetings of companies.
  2. On 19 May 2020, the Singapore government issued a press release that Singapore would embark on a three-phased approach to resume activities safely, post-circuit breaker.
  3. On 2 June 2020, the Singapore Government commenced phase one of the three-phased approach involving the safe re-opening of economic activities that do not pose high risk of transmission. Only selected services were allowed for resumption.
  4. On 16 June 2020, the Singapore Government further allowed for phase two whereby almost the entire economy would re- open, subject to safe management measures being in place.
  5. As at the date of this announcement, Singapore is in the midst of phase two.

In view of the foregoing developments, the Board wishes to inform shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") that the Company will be conducting the Annual General Meeting wholly by way of electronic means. There will be no physical location to facilitate the conduct of Annual General Meeting.

The Company will arrange for (i) a GOOGLE MEET Meeting of the Annual General Meeting (to be hosted at 36 Sungei Kadut Avenue, Singapore 729661), which allows Shareholders to join the Annual General Meeting and (ii) video recording, which allows Shareholders to watch the replay of the Annual General Meeting (upon request after the Annual General Meeting).
