7. TRADING SUSPENSION AND DELISTING

7.1 Rule 723 of the Listing Manual requires the Company to ensure that at least 10 per cent. of the total number of issued Fragrance Shares (excluding treasury shares) is at all times held by the public (the "Free Float Requirement"). As the Offeror has received acceptances of the Offer in respect of such number of Fragrance Shares which would bring the holdings owned by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties to above 90 per cent. of the total number of issued

4

Fragrance Shares (excluding treasury shares), pursuant to Rule 1105 of the Listing Manual, the SGX-ST may suspend the trading of the Fragrance Shares on the SGX-ST until such time when the SGX-ST is satisfied that at least 10 per cent. of the total number of issued Fragrance Shares (excluding treasury shares) are held by at least 500 Shareholders who are members of the public. Under Rule 1303(1) of the Listing Manual, where the Offeror succeeds in garnering acceptances exceeding 90 per cent. of the total number of issued Fragrance Shares (excluding treasury shares), thus causing the percentage of the total number of issued Fragrance Shares (excluding treasury shares) held in public hands to fall below 10 per cent., the SGX-ST will suspend trading of the listed securities of the Company, being the Fragrance Shares, at the close of the Offer.

7.2 As stated in the Offer Document, the Offeror does not intend to support any action by the Company to meet the Free Float Requirement.

8. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The director of the Offeror (including where he has delegated detailed supervision of this Announcement) has taken all reasonable care to ensure that the facts stated and all opinions expressed in this Announcement are fair and accurate and that no material facts have been omitted from this Announcement, and accepts responsibility accordingly. Where any information has been extracted or reproduced from published or otherwise publicly available sources (including, without limitation, in relation to the Company or its subsidiaries), the sole responsibility of the director of the Offeror has been to ensure, through reasonable enquiries, that such information is accurately extracted from such sources or, as the case may be, reflected or reproduced in this Announcement.
