  1. RATIONALE FOR THE PARTIAL EARLY REDEMPTION AND THE EXTENSION
    The Board is of the view that the Partial Early Redemption and the Extension are in the best interests of the Group as the Partial Early Redemption allows the Group to reduce its interest payment obligations arising from the Convertible Bonds, while the Extension provides financial flexibility to the Group for expansion of its business, which may be undertaken by way of organic growth or through investments, joint ventures, strategic collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions.
  2. INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDERS
    Save for Yee Pinh Jeremy and Chen Johnson, who are holders of the Convertible Bonds, none of the Directors, and as far as the Directors are aware, none of the substantial shareholders of the Company or any of their respective associates, has any interest, direct or indirect, in the Partial Early Redemption and the Amendment Deed, other than through their respective shareholding interests in the Company (if any).
