INDICATIVE TIMETABLE FOR LISTING An indicative timetable is set out below for the reference of applicants:- Indicative Date/Time Event 8.00 a.m. on 1 June 2000 Close of Application List 2 June 2000 Balloting of applications, if necessary 9.00 a.m. on 5 June 2000 Admission of our Company to the Official List of the SGX-ST Commence trading of our Shares on the SGX-ST on a “when issued” basis 12 June 2000 Last day for trading on a “when issued” basis 9.00 a.m. on 13 June 2000 Commence trading on a “ready” basis 16 June 2000 Settlement date for all trades done on a “when issued” basis and for trades done on a “ready” basis on 13 June 2000 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. 17
