  4. the Offeror has no intention to undertake or support any action for any trading suspension to be lifted,

applications were made to the SGX-ST and the SEHK for waivers of the requirement for the Company to comply with Rule 705(3)(b)(ii) of the Listing Manual (the "SGX-STWaiver"), and the requirement of the Company to comply with Rule 13.49(6) of the SEHK Listing Rules (the "SEHK Waiver"), respectively.
