Scrutineers. The Polling Agent has counted the proxy votes received as at the cut-off date and the Scrutineers have verified the results of the proxy voting.

Mr Chong noted that there were no questions submitted by the Shareholders. However, the Company received certain queries from the Securities Investor Association (Singapore), and responded to these queries on 28 July 2021. The Company's response can be accessed via the SGX website.

Mr Zhang presented certain key corporate highlights in the past year, a summary of which is as follows:

  • As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the food & beverage ("F&B") and branding operations and procurement ("BOP") businesses of the Group, the Group reported a significant decrease in both revenue and earnings for FY2020 as compared to the revenue and earnings of FY2019.
  • In addition, as announced by the Company on or around end April 2021, the Group has collected an aggregate amount of RMB100 million from its BOP customers as payment of the aggregate outstanding BOP service fee. However, as at the date of the Meeting, there remains an encumbrance on the RMB100 million to be discharged.
  • Once the foregoing encumbrance is discharged, the Group intends to use part of the cash to pursue our expansion plans for its existing businesses, which had been delayed since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. The Group is also exploring and evaluating other business opportunities to complement its existing businesses, so as to cushion the financial impact that the Group may suffer in the financial year ending 2021 ("FY2021") due to negative impact from the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Where opportunities arise, the Group will look to capitalise on these opportunities with its strong cash position.
  • As announced by the Group on 29 January 2021 and 8 June 2021, the Group entered into a master distribution rights agreement with Kaifeng Jufeel Biotechnology Co., Ltd. ("Kaifeng Jufeel") to undertake the distribution of certain products in the People's Republic of China,
    ASEAN countries, and countries in the African continent. The diversification into the distribution business is currently put on hold.

Following that, Mr Chong proceeded with the business of the Meeting. The following were the resolutions passed at the Meeting.

Duly proposed and seconded, the following Ordinary Resolutions No. 1 to 8 were duly passed.
