1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The board of directors (the "Board" or the "Directors") of Resources Global Development Limited (the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") wishes to announce that the Company had on 12 July 2021, entered into an option to purchase (the "Option") with an unrelated third party, LPH Investment Holdings Pte. Ltd. (the "Vendor"), to purchase an office unit at 144 Robinson Road, #11-02 Robinson Square, Singapore 068908 (the "Property") (the "Purchase") for a cash consideration of S$3,236,750 (the "Purchase Consideration"), comprising purchase price of S$3,025,000 and applicable Goods and Services Tax of S$211,750.

2. PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE PURCHASE

  1. Information on the Property and the Vendor
    The Property is a freehold office unit, covering an area of approximately 1,184 square feet. The Company purchased the Property to be used as the Company's office premises upon expiry of its existing tenancy. The Company is currently occupying office premise located at 144 Robinson Road, #07-01 Robinson Square, Singapore 068988 ("Existing Office Premises"), and the tenancy agreement will expire in June 2022.
    The Property was sourced through a property agent and none of the Vendor nor directors and shareholders of the Vendor has any relationships (including business relationship) with the Directors or substantial shareholders of the Company and their respective associate.
  2. Purchase Consideration
    The Purchase Consideration was arrived at based on arm's length negotiations between the parties, after taking into account prevailing market conditions, including current transacted and asking sale prices of the commercial properties in the same building and the immediate neighbouring area.
    As at the date of this announcement, the Company has placed a deposit of S$161,837.50 ("Deposit"), being the 5% of the Purchase Consideration payable upon the Option being granted. The remaining balance of the Purchase Consideration is payable to the Vendor upon the completion of the Purchase ("Completion"). The Completion date is expected to be on 4 October 2021.
    No independent valuation was commissioned by the Company for the purpose of the Purchase.

2.3 Sources of Funds for the Purchase

The Deposit was funded through the Company's internal resources.

On 8 July 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement with the Company's controlling shareholder, Deli International Resources Pte. Ltd. ("DIR"), whereby DIR agreed to extend a loan of S$1.0 million ("DIR Loan") to the Company ("DIR Loan Agreement"). The DIR Loan is unsecured, interest-free with a loan tenure of 12 months extendable upon a written request by the Company. The purpose of the DIR Loan is to partially finance the Purchase and the renovation of the Property. DIR, being the controlling shareholder of the Company, is an "interested person" for the purposes of Chapter 9 of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited Listing Manual Section B: Rules of Catalist ("Catalist Rules"). However, as the DIR Loan is interest-free, there is no value at risk to the Company.

The remaining balance of the Purchase Consideration (after taking into account the Deposit paid and the DIR Loan) of approximately S$2.6 million shall be funded by external bank borrowings ("Bank Loan") to be taken up by the Company. The Company's Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Salim Limanto, will be the personal guarantor for the Bank Loan.

5. RELATIVE FIGURE UNDER RULE 1006 OF THE CATALIST RULES

The relative figures for the Purchase as computed on the bases set out in Rule 1006 of the Catalist Rules and the audited financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended

31 December 2020 ("FY2020"), are as follows:

Rule 1006

(e)

disposal of mineral, oil or gas assets by a

mineral, oil and gas company, but not to an

acquisition of such assets.

Notes:

  1. Rule 1006(a) of the Catalist Rules is not applicable as the transaction is not in relation to disposal of assets.
  2. Rule 1006(b) of the Catalist Rules is not applicable as the Property is not a revenue-generating asset.
  3. Computed based on the Purchase Consideration of approximately S$3.24 million and the Company's market capitalisation of approximately S$19.4 million. The market capitalisation of the Company was computed based on the issued share capital of the Company of 90,000,000 ordinary shares ("Shares") and the volume weighted average price of S$0.215 per Share on 2 July 2021 (being the last day on which there were Shares traded prior to the date of the Option).
  4. Rule 1006(d) of the Catalist Rules is not applicable as the Purchase Consideration is to be satisfied entirely by way of cash payment, and no equity securities will be issued by the Company as consideration.

As the relative figure under Rule 1006(c) of the Catalist Rules exceeds 5% but does not exceed 75%, the Purchase constitutes a "discloseable transaction" within the meaning of Chapter 10 of the Catalist Rules. Accordingly, approval of the shareholders of the Company is not required for the Purchase.
