7.6 In the event that:-
APPENDIX B
(a) a Participant, being a Non-Executive Director, ceases to be a Non-Executive Director for
any reason whatsoever; or
(b) the employment of a Participant, being an Employee, is transferred between the Group
and any other company related to the Company,
any Option held by him shall, to the extent unexercised, immediately lapse without any claim
against the Company, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion.
In exercising such discretion, the Committee may, notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 7.1,
also determine the number of Ordinary Shares in respect of which that Option may be exercised
and the period during which such Option may continue to be exercisable, provided that such
period may not in any event exceed the Exercise Period applicable to such Option.
8. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS, ALLOTMENT AND LISTING OF ORDINARY SHARES
8.1 Subject to Rule 7.1, an Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by a Participant giving
notice in writing to the Company in or substantially in the form set out in Schedule C, subject
to such modification as the Committee may from time to time determine. Such notice must be
accompanied by a remittance for the Aggregate Subscription Cost in respect of the Ordinary
Shares for which that Option is exercised and any other documentation the Committee may
require. An Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of the said
notice, duly completed, and the Aggregate Subscription Cost.
8.2 All payments made pursuant to Rule 8.1 shall be made by cheque, cashier’s order, banker’s
draft or postal order made out in favour of the Company or such other mode of payment as
may be acceptable to the Company.
8.3 Subject to such consents or other required action of any competent authority under any
regulations or enactment for the time being in force as may be necessary and subject to
compliance with the terms of the Scheme and the Memorandum and Articles of Association of
the Company, the Company shall, within 10 business days after the exercise of an Option,
allot the relevant Ordinary Shares and despatch to CDP the relevant share certificates by
ordinary post or such other mode as the Committee may deem fit.
8.4 The Company shall, as soon as practicable after such allotment, apply to the Stock Exchange
for permission to deal in and for quotation of such Ordinary Shares.
8.5 Ordinary Shares which are allotted on the exercise of an Option by a Participant shall be
issued in the name of CDP to the credit of the securities account of that Participant maintained
with CDP, the securities sub-account maintained with a Depository Agent or the CPF investment
account maintained with a CPF agent bank.
8.6 Ordinary Shares allotted and issued on exercise of an Option shall be subject to all the
provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, and shall rank in
full for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in
respect of the then existing Ordinary Shares, the Record Date for which is on or after the
relevant date upon which such exercise occurred and shall in all other respects rank pari
passu with other existing Ordinary Shares then in issue. “Record Date” means the date fixed
by the Company for the purposes of determining entitlements to dividends or other distributions
to or rights of holders of Ordinary Shares.
8.7 The Company shall keep available sufficient unissued Ordinary Shares to satisfy the full exercise
of all Options for the time being remaining capable of being exercised.
