Gas is Singapore’s main source of energy with 95% of electricity being generated using natural gas. Piped natural gas has been imported from neighbouring countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia; however, Singapore started diversifying its energy sources by importing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) since 2013.

What is Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)? 

LNG is natural gas that is cooled to -162ºC. This cooling process shrinks the volume by 600 times and forms a clear, colourless, and non-toxic liquid. In its liquid state, LNG is clear, colourless, non-toxic, and will not ignite — thus making it easier and safer to store and transport.

LNG can be used for a variety of purposes, both commercially and privately, such as:

• heating, cooling and cooking at home
• industrial manufacturers
• hotels, and restaurants
• transportation
• utilities and power producers, generating reliable and low-emission energy

Due to the versatility of LNG’s, there has been a steady demand for LNG in Asia and Europe, with the global LNG market reaching 372.3 million tons imported* in 2021.

Benefits of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG ) 

So why has the rest of the world been considering the switch to LNG? Here are the top 3 benefits of LNG that you should know if energy costs and sustainability are your business’s top concerns:

1. Friendlier to the environment

LNG is a cleaner alternative to power homes and across business sectors such as industrial, commercial marine, and road transport. It generates 30% less carbon dioxide compared to fuel oil and 45% less compared to coal. A twofold reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions is also evident in the use of LNG. It is clean, colourless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive due to it mainly producing heat and water vapor. This means that LNG leaves no water residue, soot, dust, or fumes, resulting in a cleaner environment with no harm to the fauna. Auto-ignition is only possible for LNG at approximately 540ºC, making it not only better for the environment but also safer to use.

2. Cheaper source of energy

Due to LNG being a simpler and more economical form of energy to produce, its price is, therefore, more stable compared to other fuels. GasHub LNG can provide greater savings of 20% off your current Town Gas or LPG bill.

3. Plenty to go around 

Even at the current global consumption rate, there is an estimated 7,257 trillion cubic feet (TcF) of proved reserves of gross natural gas worldwide as of 2020. This is enough to last for at least another 200 years and makes for a great source of energy for the foreseeable future.

Although LNG does have its environmental impacts, carbon emissions are much lower and remain to be a great alternative source of energy for Singapore, making up 95% of Singapore’s energy mix.

Established in 1991, GasHub is Singapore’s Gas Industry Leader, aiming to bring cleaner energy solutions to businesses with our LNG-centric gas distribution solution. With GasHub, you can enjoy greater savings on your utility bills and reduce carbon emissions by 30% for a better and brighter Singapore.

The movement in carbon control, sustainability, and going green in Singapore has consistently increased over the years. With the Singapore Government’s Green Plan 2030 well underway, more businesses are expected to not only take note of their carbon footprint but also work towards reducing it.

In 2018, the National Climate Change Secretariat (NCCS) reported that Singapore’s total emissions are 51.6 MtCO₂e, with the industrial sector contributing 45.1% in primary emissions and 15.3% in secondary emissions. Primary emissions refer to pollutants that are emitted from a direct source. Secondary emissions are not emitted directly from the source but are formed in the atmosphere by chemical reactions.

What are Carbon Emissions?  

A type of greenhouse gas, carbon emissions, refers to the release of carbon dioxide that filters into our atmosphere both naturally and from daily human activities such as electricity consumption, industrial manufacturing, and deforestation. Trapping of heat in the atmosphere then leads to climate changes, such as global warming, deterioration of the ozone layer, and destruction of ecosystems.

How Carbon Emissions Affect Singapore 

Sunny Singapore could be affected in three unsurprising ways: 1) rising temperatures, 2) rising sea levels, and 3) extreme weather patterns, which we are currently experiencing. According to My Carbon Footprint, it is estimated that daily temperatures could reach an average high of 35 to 37 Celsius in Singapore by 2100. Likewise, sea levels are also estimated to rise by half to one meter by 2100. Singapore may even start experiencing more extreme weather patterns throughout the year with frequent dry months or possible flash floods due to intense and frequent rainfall during wet months. It is never too late for your business to start reducing carbon emissions to lessen the effect of climate change. Here are 5 practical and affordable ways your business can reduce its carbon footprint:

1. Keep track of your business’s energy usage 

Green-conscious businesses know that it’s key to keep track of and understand how much energy is being used. This is made easier by using an effective, sustainable energy strategy to collect data over time. This will reduce environmental impacts while increasing your company’s profitability simultaneously. We have a list of steps on how your business can create a sustainable energy strategy in our previous article here.

2. Power your business with greener energy sources 

Many industries rely heavily on powering their businesses with fossil fuels such as diesel. Unless you are using some form of carbon offset, diesel emits a considerable amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Switching to a greener fuel such as GasHub’s Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) not only helps your business save on energy costs, but it emits 30% lesser CO2 than diesel and leaves no ground or water residue even if spilled.

3. Install low-cost solar panels 

Taking it up a notch, another way your business can make a positive impact on the environment is to consider self-generated energy with low-cost solar panels. It’s an affordable way for your business to save money in the long run and can also store energy for when peak demands increase electricity bills. With an estimated life span of 20 – 25 years, these solar panels require minimal maintenance, further reducing costs for your business.

4. Digitise your documents

During the pandemic, we saw many businesses adapt to remote work arrangements. Companies found themselves embracing digital transformations to ensure business continuity. As such, documents which would have been printed, now have to be digitised for ease of sharing between co-workers online, drastically reducing carbon emissions with lower energy usage.

5. Improve energy efficiency 

According to Singapore National Environment Agency (NEA), the industrial sector makes up the majority in terms of energy consumption. Companies that focus their efforts on improving energy efficiency have been shown to minimize energy wastage, cut energy costs, and help to increase profits. Something as simple as switching to LED sensor lights in infrequently used areas has proven to reduce energy use significantly. Besides such a simple solution, Gashub’s Combined Heat & Power (Cogen) or Combined Cooling Heat & Power (Trigen) solutions further enhance energy efficiency and cost savings in industrial manufacturing plants.  NEA’s Energy Efficiency Fund (E2F) scheme is designed specifically for businesses looking to improve their energy efficiency.

Just as nobody is perfect, there is no gold-standard organization in Singapore. However, we can always strive to improve our ethics and practices to reduce carbon emissions without compromising our business’s objectives. By understanding where your business can improve, it can create a better future for generations to come.

At GasHub, we aim to bring cleaner energy solutions to businesses with our LNG-centric gas distribution solution.

 In October 2021, Singapore announced plans for 30% of its energy to come from low-carbon sources by 2035. According to the Energy Authority Market, Singapore has slowly moved from oil to natural gas in the last 50 years in its efforts to generate cleaner energy. Due to economic development, demand for energy continues to rise year on year. 

However, what exactly is cleaner energy? The terms green energy, clean energy, renewable energy, and sustainable energy are often used interchangeably, but they each actually have distinct meanings. For instance, green energy refers to energy generated from natural resources, while clean energy refers to energy with zero emissions of pollutants into the air. 

Having a sustainable energy strategy for your business not only reduces the environmental impacts of your operations, but could also increase the profitability of your business. Below are 4 steps you can take to build a sustainable energy strategy for your business today: 

 4 Steps to Create a Sustainable Energy Strategy for Your Business 

 1. Understanding Your Business’s Energy Needs 

Taking account of your business’s energy needs and how much power it is consuming is a great first step to creating an energy strategy. This step is especially important if you do plan to expand your company in the future so that you will be able to accurately gauge how much power is needed moving forward. To reduce your carbon footprint, assessing where your energy source comes from will help you better evaluate the environmental impacts of your business. 

2. Setting Sustainable Energy Targets 

Now that you know how much energy your business is using, it is time to implement that data to set some targets. These targets should not only benefit your business’s short- and long-term goals but also align with the mission of becoming a carbon-positive business as a whole. It does not matter if your targets extend out to five, ten years, or decades into the future, as long as they are realistic and your business can work on achieving them. 

3. Have a Plan for Sustainable Energy Targets 

How can you meet your targets without first having a plan? An essential part of moving towards a greener business is by planning out your budget, risks, and costs of certain changes, and even changes in your company policy to accommodate a sustainable work environment. With a good plan in place, your team will be able to better see how things are progressing or what changes are needed for further improvements. 

4. Assess Results 

With your plan in motion, have you been documenting the progress you have made? What results has your business yielded from the changes you have made? If certain things in your plan have not worked out, how are you addressing them? Comparing your results to your targets is a great way to evaluate the effectiveness of the changes you have implemented. Each business varies in its goals and ways of operation, so it should come as no surprise if certain implementations do not work out at the start. In the grand scheme of things, the end goal is to create, execute, test, and update your sustainable energy strategy for better results. 

A sustainable energy strategy is only effective when a business can identify issues at hand, resolve them, and yield the right results. This, in turn, helps create a better future for the company as well as the future generations of Singapore. Include GasHub as part of your sustainable energy strategy to lower carbon emissions whilst increasing profit.

According to Energy Market Authority, the largest consumer of energy in Singapore is the Industrial sector at 41.3% with natural gas as the main source of energy at 90.3%, consuming a total of 21.0 TWh in 2020. In the first half of 2021, the total energy consumption is 10.8 TWh.

Should this trend continue to rise, Singapore’s Industrial sector will see a growth of up to 2% each year. A report from the Ministry of Trade and Industry stated that manufacturers in Singapore saw an increase in energy costs in 2021, and is likely going to continue to rise from 2022 onwards.

With these numbers in mind, is your manufacturing facility taking the right steps to be more energy- and cost-efficient? Here are 5 ways your industrial business can save on energy consumption and cost.

5 Ways to Save On Energy Costs for Manufacturers in Singapore

1. Switch to Energy-Efficient Lighting

Aside from best practices such as turning off lights when not in use or removing lights in areas that are not necessary, consider switching to energy-efficient lighting such as Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This form of lighting technology is the most energy-efficient, using 90% less energy compared to traditional incandescent and High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting.

2. Power Down your Equipment

Something that can easily be overlooked is shutting down equipment or basic office essentials such as computers and printers. Encouraging employees to be aware of the power mode of all equipment in the facility is another way businesses can lower energy consumption and utility bills. If a total power shutdown in your facility is not feasible, GasHub offers efficient and cost-saving solutions with clean energy to help reduce your overall energy cost and carbon footprint.

3. Conduct Regular Energy Audits

Energy audits by a professional can help to quantify how much energy each department is consuming in your facility by identifying peak consumption times throughout the day. It is recommended for energy audits to be performed by an energy specialist, but this is also doable, in-house, with the use of an energy audit guidebook by your facility experts. Through these audits, you will be able to make informed decisions on the best energy-efficient upgrades for your facility moving forward.

4. Proactive Maintenance Strategy

Just like regular servicing of vehicles, equipment maintenance is vital for a smooth business operation. Equipment upgrades are not always necessary, and in that case, taking good care, along with regular maintenance of your equipment can help your business save costs and energy too. Poorly maintained equipment, on the contrary, may sometimes consume more energy to function, and they generally do not perform at their maximum efficiency.

5. Get Everyone Involved

The combined efforts of employees will benefit businesses looking to reduce their energy bills. As a business owner or facility manager, you can frequently emphasise the importance of savvy energy usage in the workplace, and let your employees know that the money saved will be utilised for equipment upgrades to simplify their jobs and increase productivity. As a bonus, reward your employees for joining in this effort.

GEARING TOWARDS CARBON-NEUTRAL ENERGY! 

6th May 2022, SINGAPORE – Leading Singapore LNG distribution company, GasHubUnited Utility, is pleased to announce the official opening of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) cylinder bottling plant and distribution centre in Jurong Island, and an exciting partnership with Spiral Energy, Singapore’s cultivator of superfood spirulina. 

LNG, the energy known to provide the best thermodynamic yields and therefore delivers the best energy efficiency, is also significantly more competitive in price than other energy sources. It releases 45-50% less CO2 than coal, 30% less CO2 than fuel oil, dramatically reduces nitrogen oxide emissions, does not emit soot, dust, or fumes, and produces insignificant amounts of sulfur dioxide, mercury, and other particulates compared to other fuels. Additionally, it is safe, non-toxic, leaves no ground or water residue, and does not harm aquatic life. 

The first in Singapore to bring LNG cylinder distribution to industrial and commercial users, GasHub is now on a quest to make LNG even more environmentally friendly. 

GasHub, together with Spiral Energy, have developed an innovative solution to achieve carbon- neutrality while providing cleaner energy, by directing the CO2 from the combustion of LNG into the cultivation of spirulina, which is considered a first in the world. 

While rising carbon dioxide concentrations in the air can be beneficial for plants, as high concentrations of carbon dioxide spur plant growth, CO2, unfortunately, remains the main culprit of global climate change. 

“We are concerned that LNG, albeit its significantly lower emission of CO2, still impacts our environment,” explained Mr Edward Loh, CEO of Spiral Energy, “which got us thinking on how we can further lower the carbon output, or even put it to better use.” 

“Hence, we came out with an innovative solution of turning this threat into a form of nutrients for plants,” Mr Loh added, “and we will be cultivating spirulina through the harnessing and usage of carbon emitted from the combustion of LNG.” 

Spirulina, an algae, is believed to be one of the oldest life forms on Earth and is considered a superfood, an all-in-one source of nutrients including protein levels comparable to eggs. Research shows that spirulina also boosts the production of white blood cells and antibodies that fight viruses and bacteria in your body, especially vital in a post-pandemic world. In addition, as Singapore heads towards its “30 by 30” food-resilience goal, spirulina is slated to play an undeniably important role in Singapore’s food supply. 

Since its establishment in 2017, GasHub has been actively developing cleaner and more efficient energy solutions using LNG. As the global demand for LNG grows due to the pressure to curb CO2 emission from other higher emission fossil fuel such as coal, fuel oil and diesel, GasHub continues to develop and provide cleaner, more environmentally friendly energy alternative to Singapore’s burgeoning and robust manufacturing and commercial sectors. 

As a matter of fact, GasHub’s newly unveiled Jurong Island plant is capable of supplying over 20 million Kw of energy to the various industries every month, at a fraction of existing energy costs. To give an idea, customers stand to save over 20% in monthly energy costs when they switch to LNG. In addition, GasHub provides an opportunity for industrial and commercial customers to achieve lower emissions, while retaining existing equipment and processes. LNG is typically used for thermal processes and off-grid power generation at manufacturing plants or commercial facilities that are traditionally reliant on delivered fossil fuel, such as food manufacturers, industrial laundry, central kitchens and manufacturing plants. 

“With our partnership with Spiral Energy, we have found an innovative solution of providing cleaner energy and potentially carbon-neutral solution,” stated Mr Bentinck Ng, CEO of GasHub. 

“GasHub and Spiral Energy are investing in new technologies, collaborations, partnerships and research to progress the development of viable and green energy for the future across the region,” added Mr Ng. “We look forward to working closely with the Singapore government, the industries and customers, to speed up the adoption of carbon neutral energy solutions, to focus on the key subjects outlined in the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and address other global environmental issues.”

As front-runners around the globe like China, India, Japan, Korea, the EU, and the US continue to scale up clean hydrogen as a viable resource, it is no surprise that Singapore has turned towards green hydrogen for a cleaner future.

In fact, GasHub is also looking into blue hydrogen as an energy source that will help boost Singapore’s efforts to reach zero emissions by 2050. Though not entirely carbon-neutral, producing blue hydrogen emits less carbon than existing grey hydrogen, which makes a big difference in the long run. Before we dive into the ways blue hydrogen can help on our road to zero emissions, here’s an overview look at the country’s current trajectory.

Singapore’s Long-Term Zero-Emissions Strategy

According to the Energy 2050 Committee report by the Energy Market Authority (EMA)of Singapore, our power sector is set to reach zero emissions by 2050. This plan involves adopting green hydrogen — hydrogen generated by renewable energy or from low-carbon power. Currently, the power sector produces about 40 percent of the country’s emissions, and EMA believes achieving zero emissions by 2050 can be done in ways that will neither compromise energy security nor affordability in Singapore. Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, launched in February 2021, aims to ensure that the country moves towards an economic growth model that is increasingly focused on low-carbon energy, including hydrogen.

Blue Hydrogen As a Tool for Decarbonisation

Blue hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced from natural gas using a process of steam methane reforming, in which natural gas is mixed with very hot steam, as well as a catalyst. The chemical reaction that occurs creates hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

Blue hydrogen provides the opportunity to improve Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores, especially since it can be produced at a significant cost advantage over green hydrogen. Since blue hydrogen also has a substantially lower carbon intensity score (CI score) than grey hydrogen, and is cheaper than green hydrogen, it is an ideal transitional tool for the decarbonisation of Singapore’s economy as it can affect change in a shorter period of time — until we are able to move towards the use of more green hydrogen. Widely discussed globally as a viable resource for clean energy, blue hydrogen offers a sort of compromise between detrimental brown and grey hydrogen, and the expensive green hydrogen. The role of blue hydrogen is to help us transition toward green zero emissions in the meantime until green hydrogen becomes more affordable and feasible. Like grey hydrogen, blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas using steam reforming, heating, and then, splitting the gas into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The key difference, however, is that the CO2 is not released into the atmosphere. Instead, it is captured and stored permanently underground in order to reduce the greenhouse gas effect. This process is known as carbon capture and storage (CCS), and it improves the environmental balance. One thing’s for sure — while we wait on the high costs of production of green hydrogen to be reduced, blue hydrogen produced from fossil fuels with CCS is still a viable option for decarbonising emissions.

In a recent article by CNA, we read about Mr Bernard Tay, who received a staggering electricity bill of S$10,654 for one of his Korean fast-food chain outlets. The bill was more than double what he paid in the previous month and a whopping five times more than the month before.

The sharp increase reportedly started after the outlet’s electricity account was transferred back to SP Group following the exit of its former electricity retailer, Best Electricity, in October last year.

With electricity usage exceeding 4 megawatt-hours (MWh) a month, Mr Tay’s outlet is not eligible for a regulated tariff plan. According to SP, businesses with more extensive power consumption can only buy electricity from the wholesale market. It is noteworthy that prices fluctuate every half-hour based on demand and supply in this scenario.

With wholesale electricity prices remaining elevated amid a global energy crunch, Mr Tay has had to contend with monthly bill shocks. As a result, he had lost a significant amount of profit. This then raises the question of what businesses could do differently to mitigate such risks.

Well, not all industries are equal when it comes to energy needs. Case in point, Mr Tay’s fast food restaurant may need significantly more energy as compared to his neighbour that sells only beverages. Likewise, in the light and heavy industries sector, factories situated next to each other or even factories producing similar products may have vastly different energy requirements.

This volatile energy landscape poses tremendous challenges for businesses today. Not only in areas of productivity and efficiency, but also in areas of finance. Today, managing cash flow and costs is critical to business survival. Unfortunately, soaring energy prices have recently emerged as the curveball in an otherwise reliable game plan.

What exactly is causing this situation? Well, it seems to point to a combination of events. Recently there have been disruptions in supply, such as the piped natural gas disruptions from Indonesia, the Russia-Ukraine war, and unanticipated global demand, to name a few.

At home, we see energy retailers throwing in the towel.

Already, the turn in market conditions saw six electricity retailers calling it quits between October and December last year, while two others terminated some customers’ contracts prematurely, said Second Minister for Trade and Industry, Tan See Leng, in a parliamentary reply earlier this month. He added that approximately 11,000 business consumers have to buy electricity directly from the wholesale market, therefore being more exposed to volatile prices.

Needless to say, businesses need a stable energy source with stable costs.

GasHub provides solutions for 99.9% of industries in the region. If you are looking for efficient and cost-effective clean energy, Gashub can help reduce your energy costs and lower your carbon emissions while increasing profit. GasHub is the first in Southeast Asia to have a bottling facility located on Jurong Island, and is strategically positioned to provide reliable and uninterrupted energy supply to businesses in Singapore.

Page | 3
(i) Where the Final Valuation falls within the range of S$20,000,000 to S$26,249,999 (both
values inclusive), the Purchase Consideration shall be adjusted and determined based on
the Final Valuation, according to the following formula:
P = A% X (NV + S$2,000,000),
Where:
“P” = final Purchase Consideration;
“A%” = the shareholding interest of the Sale Shares, based on the total number of issued
Shares as at Completion; and
“NV” = the Final Valuation;
(ii) Where the Final Valuation is equal to or higher than S$26,250,000, there shall be no
adjustment to the Purchase Consideration; and
(iii) Where the Final Valuation is lower than S$20,000,000, the SPA will cease and determine
and no Party will have any claim against the other Parties for costs, damages,
compensation or otherwise.
Under the SPA, the Purchase Consideration will be satisfied by the Company by way of the
allotment and issue of such number of new P5 Shares (the “Consideration Shares”) to GHPL,
at the issue price of S$0.0305 per Consideration Share, being the volume weighted average of
the prices of the P5 Shares traded on the SGX-ST during the three-month period preceding (but
excluding) the date of the MOU (“Issue Price”) (fractional entitlements to be disregarded),
against the fulfilment of GHPL’s obligations under the SPA at the date of Completion (the
“Completion Date”).
The Issue Price represents a premium of 8.9% to the volume weighted average price of the P5
Shares (“VWAP”) of S$0.028 on 30 December 2021, which is the last full market day on which
the P5 Shares were traded prior to the date of the SPA. The Issue Price, being the daily volume
weighted average price of the P5 Shares for trades done on the SGX-ST for the period of three
months ending on the full market day immediately prior to the execution of the MOU, was arrived
at after arm’s length negotiations between the Parties after taking into consideration, inter alia,
the prevailing share price of the Company at the date of entry into the MOU in relation to the
Proposed Acquisition. The allotment and issue of Consideration Shares would help in conserving
cash for the Group for working capital purposes and for future acquisition opportunities and
further align the interests of GHPL and the Company moving forward.
The Consideration Shares shall be free from all claims and encumbrances and with all rights,
dividends, benefits and entitlements now or hereafter attaching to the Consideration Shares with
effect from such date of issue.
Based on the Purchase Consideration as at the date of this Announcement, the Company will
issue 409,672,131 Consideration Shares to GHPL, representing approximately 59.41% of the
existing issued and paid-up shares in the capital of the Company of 689,524,443 shares
(excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) and approximately 37.27% of the enlarged
issued and paid-up shares in the capital of the Company of 1,099,196,574 shares (excluding
treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) following Completion (assuming no adjustment to the
Purchase Consideration under the SPA).
The Company will make the necessary announcement should there be adjustment to the

6. RATIONALE OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
The rationale for and benefits of the Proposed Acquisition are, inter alia, as follows:
(i) In line with the Group’s business diversification strategy to enhance the Group’s business
performance and Shareholders’ value by unlocking additional streams of income, the
Proposed Acquisition will provide the Group with the opportunity to further grow the
Group’s energy business and provide recurring revenue streams;
(ii) The Proposed Acquisition presents an opportunity for the Group to further grow and
venture into the energy and natural gas related business, a growing sector with
increasing demand in the region, on a domestic and international scale, by tapping on
the resources of GUPL; and
(iii) The Proposed Acquisition creates various future business opportunities by capitalising
on the synergy from both the businesses of GUPL and the energy division of the Group.
As such, the Company is of the view that the Proposed Acquisition will enhance shareholders’
value for the Company.

7. FINANCING
The Purchase Consideration will be fully funded by the allotment and issue of the Consideration
Shares by the Company to GHPL. Please refer to section 3 of this Announcement for further
details.

8. VALUE OF SALE SHARES AND GUPL
The unaudited pro forma net tangible liabilities (“NTL”) of GUPL for the 9 months ended 30
September 2021 was S$2,825,493, and the net liabilities of GUPL for the 9 months ended 30
September 2021 was S$2,825,493. The unaudited pro forma loss before tax of GUPL for the
latest 9 months period ended 30 September 2021 was S$1,296,196. The unaudited pro forma
net tangible liabilities (“NTL”) of the Sale Shares for the 9 months ended 30 September 2021
was S$1,441,001, and the net liabilities of the Sale Shares for the 9 months ended 30 September
2021 was S$1,441,001.
For completeness, after 30 September 2021, GUPL has capitalised loans (from Mr Lim, GHPL
and its related companies) amounting to approximately S$5 million. Accordingly, GUPL is in a
net tangible assets position as at the date of this Announcement.
Page | 7
The Company has engaged the Valuer as an independent professional valuer to carry out a
valuation on GUPL as at 30 September 2021 in accordance with the International Valuation
Standards (2017 edition) as published by the International Valuation Standard Committee. Based
on a preliminary valuation conducted by the Valuer, the indicative market value of the 100%
equity interest in GUPL is approximately S$22,500,000 as at 30 September 2021. The valuation
is based on discounted cash flow approach. Details of the independent valuation report, including
the Final Valuation set out in such report, will be set out in the circular (“Circular”) to be
despatched to Shareholders in connection with the EGM to seek Shareholders’ approval on, inter
alia, the Proposed Acquisition.
Assuming the Conversion prior to Completion, the Loan amounting to S$2,000,000 will be
capitalised and the abovementioned indicative market value of the 100% equity interest in GUPL
would increase by S$2,000,000 to S$24,500,000. Please refer to section 3 of this announcement
for further details on the determination of the Purchase Consideration.

10. RELATIVE FIGURES COMPUTED BASED ON RULE 1006 OF THE CATALIST RULES
Based on the latest announced unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the
half year ended 30 September 2021 (“HY2022”), the relative figures of the Proposed Acquisition
(assuming the Final Valuation of S$22,500,000 and the Purchase Consideration of S$12,495,000)
as computed on the relevant bases set out in Rule 1006 of the Listing Manual Section B: Rules
of Catalist of the SGX-ST (the “Catalist Rules”) are as follows:
Rule Relative Figures (%) 1006 (a) Net asset value of the assets to be disposed of, compared with the group’s
net asset value Not applicable 1006 (b) Net loss attributable to the assets acquired or disposed of, compared with
the group’s net loss 31.98 (1) 1006 (c) Aggregate value of the consideration given or received, compared with the
issuer’s market capitalisation based on the total number of issued shares excluding treasury shares 64.72 (2)(3)

1006 (d) The number of equity securities issued by the issuer as consideration for an acquisition, compared with the number
of equity securities previously in issue 59.41 (4) 1006 (e) The aggregate volume or amount of proved and probable reserves to be
disposed of, compared with the aggregate of the group’s proved and probable reserves. This basis is applicable to a disposal of mineral, oil or gas assets by a mineral, oil and gas company, but not to an acquisition of such assets. Not applicable

Notes:
(1) Based on the unaudited loss before income tax and non-controlling interests of S$520,638
attributable to the Sale Shares for HY2022, and the Group’s unaudited loss before income tax and
non-controlling interests of S$1,627,814 for HY2022.
(2) Pursuant to Rule 1003(3) of the Catalist Rules, where the consideration is in the form of shares, the
value of the consideration shall be determined by reference either to the market value of such shares
or the net asset value (“NAV”) represented by such shares, whichever is higher. In this instance, (a)
the Purchase Consideration under the SPA is S$12,495,000; (b) the market value of the 409,672,131
Consideration Shares is S$11,470,820 based on VWAP of S$0.028 on 30 December 2021, which is
the last full market day on which the P5 Shares were traded prior to the date of the SPA; and (c) the
NAV represented by such shares of the Group of S$7,201,672 as at 30 September 2021. Based on
the above, the relative figure has been computed based on S$12,495,000, being the highest of (a) to
(c).Page | 10
(3) The Company’s market capitalisation of S$19,306,684 is based on the Company’s issued ordinary
share capital (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) of 689,524,443 shares and VWAP
of S$0.028 on 30 December 2021, which is the last full market day on which the P5 Shares were
traded prior to the date of the SPA.
(4) Based on 409,672,131 Consideration Shares (assuming no adjustment to the Purchase
Consideration under the SPA) and the Company’s issued ordinary shares (excluding treasury shares
and subsidiary holdings) of 689,524,443 shares.
As the relative figure(s) calculated under Rule 1006(b), (c) and (d) of the Catalist Rules exceeds 5%
but does not exceed 75%, the Proposed Acquisition constitutes a “discloseable transaction” within
the meaning of Chapter 10 of the Catalist Rules, and is not subject to the approval of the Company’s
shareholders at a general meeting.
However, as the components of the relative figure computed on the bases set out in Rule 1006(b)
of the Catalist Rules is negative, the Proposed Acquisition does not fall within the relevant
scenarios provided for in paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4 of Practice Note 10A of the Catalist Rules.
Accordingly, pursuant to paragraph 4.6 of Practice Note 10A of the Catalist Rules, the Company
will be seeking the approval of Shareholders for the Proposed Acquisition as a “major transaction”
under Chapter 10 of the Catalist Rules.

11. SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL
11.1 Proposed Acquisition as an Interested Person Transaction
Mr Lim, who is the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer and a controlling shareholder
of the Company, is also a director of and shareholder of GHPL holding 60.25% shareholding
interest in GHPL. Of the remaining shares in GHPL, 0.79% of the total shares in the capital of
GHPL is held by Mr Lim’s associate. Ms Leow, an Executive Director of the Company, is the
spouse of Mr Lim. Ms Leow does not hold any shares in the capital of GHPL.
Accordingly, GHPL is an “interested person” within the meaning defined in Chapter 9 of the
Catalist Rules and the Proposed Acquisition (including the SHA) is an interested person
transaction.
Based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended
31 March 2021, the Group’s audited NTA as at 31 March 2021 was approximately S$12,973,367.
Pursuant to Catalist Rule 905(2), the aggregate value of all interested person transactions with
Mr Lim and GHPL for the current financial year ending 31 March 2022 is S$12,784,347,
representing approximately 98.57% of the Group’s latest audited net tangible assets as at 31
March 2021.
For completeness, the aggregate value of all interested person transactions of S$12,784,347
consists of (a) S$12,495,000, being the Purchase Consideration for the Proposed Acquisition
(assuming the Final Valuation of S$22,500,000), and (b) S$289,347, being the total value of all
interested person transactions (including transactions less than S$100,000) with Mr Lim, GHPL
and its associates for the current financial year ending 31 March 2022 up to the date of this
announcement. Please refer to section 12 of this announcement for further details on the
interested person transactions entered into by the Group for the current financial year ending 31
March 2022.
Accordingly, the Company will be seeking the approval of Shareholders for the Proposed
Acquisition as an interested person transaction. The value-at-risk of the Proposed Acquisition
(including the SHA) would amount to S$12,495,000 (assuming the Final Valuation of
S$22,500,000 and the Purchase Consideration of S$12,495,000), representing approximately
96.32% of the Group’s latest audited net tangible assets as at 31 March 2021.
Pursuant to Rule 919 of the Catalist Rules, Mr Lim, GHPL and its associates, and Ms Leow (being
the spouse of Mr Lim) shall abstain from exercising their voting rights in respect of all existing P5
Shares held by them, and shall not accept appointments as proxies unless specific instructions
as to voting are given, in respect of the resolutions to approve the Proposed Acquisition.
Page | 11
11.2 Allotment and Issue of Consideration Shares
The allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares, pursuant to the SPA, requires the approval
of Shareholders under Section 161 of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore (the
“Companies Act”) and Rule 805(1) of the Catalist Rules, as the Consideration Shares will not
be issued pursuant to the general share issuance mandate granted by Shareholders during the
annual general meeting of the Company held on 28 July 2021 (“2021 AGM”).
In addition, Rule 812(1) and Rule 812(2) of the Catalist Rules provide that an issue of shares
must not be placed to corporations in whose shares an issuer’s directors and substantial
shareholders have an aggregate interest of at least 10%, unless specific shareholders’ approval
has been obtained for such placement. As Consideration Shares will be allotted and issued to
GHPL (in which 60.25% shareholding interest is held by Mr Lim, the Executive Director and Chief
Executive Officer, and a controlling shareholder of the Company), Shareholders’ approval is
required to be obtained in connection thereto pursuant to Rule 812(2) of the Catalist Rules.
Pursuant to Rule 812 of the Catalist Rules, Mr Lim, GHPL and its associates, and Ms Leow (being
the spouse of Mr Lim) shall abstain from exercising their voting rights in respect of all existing P5
Shares held by them, and shall not accept appointments as proxies unless specific instructions
as to voting are given, in respect of the resolution to approve the allotment and issue of
Consideration Shares to GHPL.
11.3 Whitewash Waiver
Pursuant to the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares at Completion (assuming no
adjustment to the Purchase Consideration under the SPA), GHPL will hold an aggregate of
409,672,131 P5 Shares, representing approximately 37.27% of the enlarged issued and paid-up
shares in the capital of the Company of 1,099,196,574 shares (excluding treasury shares and
subsidiary holdings) following Completion.
An application will be submitted to the Securities Industry Council (“SIC”) to seek a whitewash
waiver from the requirement for GHPL, Mr Lim and its concert parties to make a mandatory offer
for the P5 Shares under Rule 14 of the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers if GHPL’s
and Mr Lim’s, taken together with its concert parties’, voting rights in the Company will increase
to 30% or more based on the enlarged share capital of the Company as a result of the allotment
and issue of Consideration Shares pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition (the “Whitewash
Waiver”). If the Whitewash Waiver is granted by the SIC, the Company will also seek its
Shareholders’ approval for the Whitewash Resolution at the EGM to be convened.
In the event that the Whitewash Waiver is granted by the SIC, the IFA will advise the Directors
who are independent for the purposes of the Whitewash Resolution on whether the terms of the
Proposed Acquisition are fair and reasonable and the Whitewash Resolution, when considered
in the context of the Proposed Acquisition, is not prejudicial to the interest of the independent
shareholders of the Company. The IFA’s opinion will be included in the Circular.
Please refer to section 13 of this announcement for the statement from the Audit Committee of
the Company.
