LISTING ON THE SGX-ST DETAILS OF OUR INVITATION We have applied to the SGX-ST for permission to deal in and for quotation of all our Shares, comprising both existing issued and fully-paid Shares, the New Shares which are the subject of our Invitation, as well as the new Shares arising from the exercise of options granted under our AsiaOne Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme (the rules of which are set out in Appendix B of this Prospectus) and our AsiaOne (2000) Post-IPO Share Option Scheme (the rules of which are set out in Appendix C of this Prospectus). Such permission will be granted when we have been admitted to the Official List of SGX-ST. Our acceptance of applications and allocation of the New Shares will be conditional upon completion of our Invitation, which is subject to certain conditions, including the SGX-ST granting permission to deal in and for quotation of all of the issued Shares as well as the New Shares. If the completion of our Invitation does not occur because the SGX-ST’s permission is not granted or for any other reasons, monies paid in respect of any application accepted will be returned at your own risk without interest or any share of revenue or other benefit arising therefrom and you will not have any claim against us or the Manager. The SGX-ST assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the statements made, opinions expressed or reports contained in this Prospectus.

STRUCTURE OF OUR INVITATION Offering Price The Offering Price, determined by us and Citicorp based on the estimated market valuation of our Company and the market demand for our Shares, is $0.60 for each New Share offered in our Invitation. The Offering Price is the same for all New Shares offered in the various tranches of our Invitation and is payable in full on application. Our Invitation The Invitation comprises the following tranches:- INVITATION 148,000,000 New Shares (subject to the Over-Allotment Option) * Subject to reallocation and different allocation process for each tranche Applications for New Shares under the Internet Offer Tranche will be processed separately from applications for New Shares under the Public Offer Tranche as the allocation process for each of these tranches will be different. Although the initial number of New Shares allocated to the Internet Offer Tranche and the Public Offer Tranche are 37,000,000 New Shares and 22,200,000 New Shares respectively, we reserve the right to reallocate these number of New Shares between the Internet Offer Tranche and the Public Offer Tranche depending on the number of applications received for each of these two tranches. To ensure a reasonable spread of shareholders:- DETAILS OF OUR INVITATION ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ (a) we may decide to allocate to a successful applicant under the Internet Offer Tranche or the Public Offer Tranche such number of New Shares which is less than the number applied for by that applicant, in any of the following events:- (aa) an over-subscription for both the Internet Offer Tranche and the Public Offer Tranche; or (bb) an under-subscription for the Internet Offer Tranche and over-subscription for the Public Offer Tranche; or (cc) an under-subscription for the Public Offer Tranche and over-subscription for the Internet Offer Tranche; and (b) in such event, we will allocate no less than 14,800,000 New Shares to the Internet Offer Tranche and no less than 14,800,000 New Shares to the Public Offer Tranche. 12 INTERNET OFFER TRANCHE 37,000,000 New Shares* PUBLIC OFFER TRANCHE 22,200,000 New Shares* RESERVED TRANCHE 14,800,000 New Shares* PLACEMENT TRANCHE 74,000,000 New Shares
