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