Dr Eric Goh Swee Ming, the Executive Director of the Company, who is also an Entitled Shareholder, has subscribed for 3,750,000 Preferential Offering Shares at the Issue Price.

Application has therefore been made for 150,116,180 Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu with all existing Ordinary Shares, to be admitted to trading on AIM. Trading in such shares is expected to commence on or around 5 April 2013.

All capitalised terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Offering Letter and which were also set out at the end of the announcement released on the 14 January 2013 in relation to the despatch of the Offering Letter, unless expressly provided or the context requires otherwise.
