The above timetable is only indicative as it assumes that the closing of the Application List is 1 June
2000, the date of admission of our Company to the Official List of SGX-ST will be 5 June 2000, the
SGX-ST’s shareholding spread requirement will be complied with and the New Shares will be issued
and fully paid-up prior to 5 June 2000.
In the event of an early closure of the Application List or the shortening of the time period during
which the Invitation is open, we will publicly announce the same:-
(i) through a MASNET announcement to be posted on the Internet at the SGX-ST website
http://www.singaporeexchange.com;
(ii) on our AsiaOne.com website; and
DETAILS OF OUR INVITATION
(iii) in the local English newspapers, namely, The Straits Times and The Business Times.
The actual date on which the Shares will commence trading on a “when issued” basis will be
announced when it is confirmed by the SGX-ST.
The above timetable and procedure may be subject to such modifications as the SGX-ST may
in its absolute discretion decide, including the decision to permit trading on a “when issued”
basis and the commencement date of such trading.
All persons trading in the Shares on a “when issued” basis do so at their own risk. In particular,
persons trading in the Shares before their Securities Accounts with CDP are credited with the
relevant number of Shares do so at the risk of selling Shares which neither they nor their
nominees, as the case may be, have been allotted or are otherwise beneficially entitled to.
Such persons are also exposed to the risk of having to cover their net sell positions earlier
if “when issued” trading ends sooner than the indicative date mentioned above. Persons who
have a net sell position traded on a “when issued” basis should close their position on or
before the first day of “ready” basis trading.
Investors should consult the SGX-ST announcement of the “ready” listing date on the Internet (at
SGX-ST website http://www.singaporeexchange.com), INTV or newspapers, or check with their brokers
on the date on which trading on a “ready” basis will commence.
