THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT AS TO THE ACTION YOU SHOULD TAKE, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR LEGAL, FINANCIAL, TAX OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISER(S). United Overseas Bank Limited (the “Sponsor”) has made an application to the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) for permission to deal in, and for quotation of, all the ordinary shares (the “Shares”) in the capital of PS Group Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) already issued, the new shares (the “Placement Shares”) which are the subject of the Placement (as defined herein), the new Shares which may be issued under the PS Group Holdings Performance Share Plan (the “Performance Shares”) and the new Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the options which may be granted under the PS Group Holdings Employee Share Option Scheme (the “Option Shares”) on Catalist (as defined herein).

Monies paid in respect of any application accepted will be returned if the admission and listing do not proceed. The dealing in and quotation of the Shares will be in Singapore dollars. Companies listed on Catalist may carry higher investment risk when compared with larger or more established companies listed on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. In particular, companies may list on Catalist without a track record of profitability and there is no assurance that there will be a liquid market in the shares or units of shares traded on Catalist. You should be aware of the risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after careful consideration and, if appropriate, consultation with your professional adviser(s).

Sponsor and Placement Agent

The Mix-And-Match Expert

CORPORATE PROFILE
With an operating history dating back to 1994, PS Group Holdings Ltd. is a “Mix-And-Match Expert” for the supply of quality fasteners. We offer an extensive product range in excess of 15,000 different types and sizes of fasteners that have diverse industrial applications in, amongst others, infrastructure developments, structural fabrication and construction in civil works, transportation and manufacturing of heavy machinery, automotives and parts. In the late 1990s, we launched an internet website with information of our range of products that allowed customers to place their orders with us online. This enabled us to have a more extensive reach and to expand our export operations beyond Southeast Asia. In 2011, we put in place an online IT infrastructure which enabled us to have a faster turnaround time in processing our customers’ orders. Our quality management system was ISO 9002:94 certified in 1998 and the certification was updated to ISO 9002 in 2001 and subsequently to ISO 9001 (2000 Revision) in 2003 and ISO 9001:2008 in 2011. In 2012, we were awarded the “Top 100 Singapore Excellence Award 2011/2012” and the “Singapore Brands Award 2012/2013”.

Diversified customer base of approximately 200 customers in more than 45 countries

Established relationships with our suppliers • Strong relationships with suppliers such as Fang Sheng, Tong Hwei, AFS and Shanghai Prime who supply well established brands such as YFS, THE, RECOIL and SFC. • Assurance of continuity of supplies enables us to develop our customer network, respond promptly to our customers’ requirements and expand our geographical coverage with greater confidence. Established relationships with our customers • Diversified customer base comprising approximately 200 customers in more than 45 countries. • Repeat customers form a significant proportion of our customers for each of the past three financial years ended 31 December 2012. Scalable business model which is not dependent on any single enduse industry • We believe that our online IT infrastructure has helped to improve our operational efficiency and enabled us to reach out online to existing and potential customers. • Our online IT infrastructure has also enabled us to automate certain areas of our operations such as order processing and inventory management, thereby translating into a higher level of service and shorter lead times in response to our customers’ requests. • We believe that our extensive product range, which can cater to a broad spectrum of industrial applications, coupled with our diversified base of customers across countries, means that we are not dependent on any single end-use industry, which in turn, enables us to ride through the different business and economic cycles of different industries and different countries.

Prospects and Trends
• We expect that increasing fixed investments and a rise in the manufacturing bases in emerging economies such as Asia Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa will boost fastener demand compared to the more developed markets. • We have focused our marketing efforts on distributors with retail networks primarily in Southeast Asia, as well as in emerging markets such as South America. • We believe that, given the wide spectrum of commercial and industrial applications of fasteners, the fastener industry is not dependent on any single end-use industry, but is generally dependent on factors such as population growth, industrial development and general economic conditions. • Subject to competitive and pricing pressures, we expect our revenue to generally follow the activity trend for the manufacture of durable goods, as well as in the construction and infrastructure industry.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Placement The Placement is for 20,400,000 Placement Shares offered in Singapore by way of placement and managed by UOB. Prior to the Placement, there has been no public market for our Shares. The Placement Price is determined by our Company in consultation with the Sponsor and the Placement Agent, taking into consideration, inter alia , the prevailing market conditions and estimated market demand for our Shares determined through a book-building process. The Placement Price is the same for each Placement Share and is payable in full on application. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, we have appointed UOB and UOB has agreed to manage and sponsor the Placement. Placement Shares Application for the Placement Shares may only be made by way of the Application Forms or such other forms of application as the Sponsor and Placement Agent deem appropriate. The terms, conditions and procedures for application and acceptance are set out in Appendix G of this Offer Document entitled “ Terms, Conditions and Procedures for Application and Acceptance ”. Pursuant to the Placement Agreement, UOB has agreed to subscribe and/or procure subscribers for the Placement Shares for a placement commission and brokerage of 3.0% of the Placement Price for each Placement Share, payable by our Company. The Placement Agent may, at its absolute discretion, appoint one or more sub-placement agents for the Placement Shares. Subscribers of the Placement Shares may be required to pay a brokerage of up to 1.0% of the Placement Price (and the prevailing GST thereon, if applicable) to the Placement Agent or any sub-placement agent that may be appointed by the Placement Agent. The Placement Agreement is conditional upon the Management Agreement not having been terminated or rescinded pursuant to the provisions of the Management Agreement. Subscription for Placement Shares As at the date of this Offer Document, our Independent Director, Tan Jee Ming, has indicated that he intends to subscribe for 20,000 Placement Shares, representing approximately 0.1% of the Placement Shares. Save as disclosed, to the best of our knowledge and belief, none of our Directors, Substantial Shareholders or their Associates intend to subscribe for the Placement Shares in the Placement. If such person(s) were to make an application for Shares and are subsequently allotted such number of Shares, we will make the necessary announcement(s) at an appropriate time. To the best of our knowledge and belief, none of our Independent Directors, members of our management or employees intends to subscribe for 5% or more of the Placement Shares in the Placement. As at the date of this Offer Document, Tsai Chao Chin, the general manager and shareholder of one of our major suppliers, Fang Sheng Screw Co., Ltd., and Ng Cheng Hong, the chairman and shareholder of one of our major customers, Advance Bolt & Fasteners Sdn Bhd, have indicated an interest to subscribe for 3,400,000 and 3,000,000 Placement Shares, representing approximately 22

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
16.7% and 14.7% of the Placement Shares respectively. In the event Tsai Chao Chin is allotted such number of Placement Shares, he will own 5.0% of our post-Placement share capital, and will therefore become a Substantial Shareholder of our Company. Save as disclosed, to the best of our knowledge and belief, as at the date of this Offer Document, we are not aware of any person who intends to subscribe for 5% or more of the Placement Shares. However, in assessing the market demand for our Shares, there may be other persons who may indicate an interest to subscribe for Placement Shares amounting to 5% or more of the Placement Shares. If such person(s) were to make an application for Placement Shares amounting to 5% or more of the Placement Shares and are subsequently allotted such number of Shares, we will make the necessary announcement(s) at an appropriate time. The final allotment of Shares will be made in accordance with the shareholding spread and distribution guidelines as set out in the Listing Manual. No Shares shall be allotted, issued or sold on the basis of this Offer Document later than six months after the date of registration of this Offer Document.

OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS We believe that we have the following competitive strengths: Diverse range of products to satisfy customer requirements We offer an extensive product range in excess of 15,000 different types and sizes of fasteners that have diverse industrial applications and are able to supply them at any quantity for shipment to anywhere in the world at relatively short notice. We carry a ready inventory and have ready access to our suppliers to replenish our inventory. We are therefore able to satisfy our customers’ requirements for any mix, any quantity and anywhere across a broad spectrum of industries for delivery on a timely basis. Established relationships with our suppliers We have over the years established strong relationships with our suppliers. This has provided us with assurance of the continuity of our supplies including those of well established brands in the fastener industry such as YFS, THE, RECOIL and SFC, thereby enabling us to develop our customer network, respond promptly to our customers’ requirements and expand our geographical coverage with greater confidence. Please refer to the sub-sections of “ General Information on Our Group ” entitled “ History ”, “ Major Suppliers ” and “ Distribution Agreements ” for more details of our strong relationships with our suppliers. Established relationships with our customers We are committed to supplying quality products and are dedicated to meeting our customers’ orders promptly. Over the years, we have established long-term relationships and have developed goodwill with many of our customers. Our Directors believe that we have established a track record and reputation as a reliable supplier of fasteners. For each of the last three financial years ended 31 December 2012, a significant proportion of our customers comprised repeat customers. We believe that this incidence of repeat orders from our existing customers is a testimony of their support to us and the quality of our service to them.

OFFER DOCUMENT SUMMARY
Scalable business model which is not dependent on any single end-use industry We have put in place an online IT infrastructure which we believe has helped to improve our operational efficiency. It has also enabled us to automate certain areas of our operations, thereby translating into a higher level of service and shorter lead times in response to our customers’ requests. With our IT infrastructure as our backbone, we believe that we have a scalable business model with which to drive our expansion plans. In addition, we believe that the extensive range of fastener products we carry, which can cater to a broad spectrum of industrial applications, coupled with our diversified base of customers across countries, means that we are not dependent on any single end-use industry. Experienced and committed management team Our Group is led by Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng, each of whom has more than 30 years of experience in the fastener industry and who are instrumental in setting the strategic direction of our Group and in developing and expanding our business. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Competitive Strengths ” of this Offer Document for further details.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND FUTURE PLANS Our business strategies and future plans are as follows: To enhance our existing warehouse facilities and upgrade our inventory management system We plan to enhance our existing warehouse facilities through a reorganisation of our warehouse space and installation of new racks in line with our expansion plans. We also plan to upgrade our inventory management system and will consider either installing a new inventory management system or upgrading our existing inventory management system so as to enhance our ability to more efficiently track and manage an increased inventory and achieve a faster turnaround time in processing our customers’ orders. To diversify our product range We have longstanding relationships with our customers and maintain frequent contact with them to better understand the market trends and their product demands and requirements. With this insight, we believe that we are in a better position to formulate appropriate strategies to expand our product range, thereby enabling us to meet our customers’ requirements of any mix of products and for any quantity for delivery on a timely basis. To expand our business through acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic alliances We may also expand our business, whether in Singapore or overseas, through acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances that we believe will complement our current and future business. We believe that suitable acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances will give us access to new markets and customers as well as new businesses. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Business Strategies and Future Plans ” of this Offer Document for further details.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should consider carefully and evaluate the following risk factors and all other information contained in this Offer Document, before deciding to invest in our Shares. You should also note that certain of the statements set forth below constitute “forward-looking statements” that may involve direct and/or indirect implications on our future performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements due to certain factors, including the risks and uncertainties faced by us as described below and elsewhere in this Offer Document. If any of the following risk factors and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations or cash flows or prospects may be adversely affected. In such circumstances, the trading price of our Shares could decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment in our Shares. To the best of our Directors’ belief and knowledge, all the risk factors that are material to investors in making an informed judgement regarding our Group have been set out below. Please also refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Prospects and Trends ” of this Offer Document. RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY We are dependent on key personnel for our continued success Our Executive Chairman, Teo Choon Hock, and our Managing Director, Kwek Keng Seng are the founders of our Group and our continued growth and success depend on them leading our Group, in particular in terms of our overall management and business strategies. Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng are supported by our Executive Officers and they possess the industry knowledge, are familiar with our business operations and have established good relationships with our customers and suppliers. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to retain the services of our key personnel. The resignation or the loss of the services of Teo Choon Hock and/or Kwek Keng Seng or of any of our key personnel without suitable and timely replacement or the inability to attract and retain qualified management personnel in line with our growth will adversely affect our operations and hence, our revenue and profits. Currently, we do not have keyman insurance coverage for any of our key personnel, including Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng. Please refer to the section entitled “ Directors, Management and Staff ” of this Offer Document for further details. We may be affected by downturns in the countries where we supply our products to, in particular, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia We believe that given the wide spectrum of commercial and industrial applications of fasteners, the fastener industry is not dependent on any single end-use industry, but is generally dependent on factors such as industrial and infrastructure development and general economic conditions. Over the last three financial years ended 31 December 2012, approximately 16.8%, 24.7% and 27.2% of our revenue was derived from sales to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, respectively. In the event that there is an economic downturn or political or social uncertainty or other developments resulting in a sustained weakness in demand for fasteners in the countries where we supply our products to, in particular, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, our sales may be affected and this may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.

29

RISK FACTORS
We may be affected by disruptions in the global financial markets and the sovereign debt markets During the global financial crisis between 2007 and 2009, disruptions in the global financial markets coupled with the repricing of credit risks, the deterioration of the housing markets in the western countries and a slowdown in the global economy had resulted in historic volatility, tight liquidity, widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in certain markets. These conditions had resulted in the failures of a number of financial institutions and unprecedented action by government authorities and central banks around the world. Rising sovereign debt levels coupled with the downgrading of sovereign debts in certain western countries had made it difficult or close to impossible for these countries to refinance their debts and resulted in the sovereign debt crisis in these economies. Due to the interconnectedness of the world’s economy, the extended downturn in the west had reverberated across other economies elsewhere and this has caused increasingly difficult and volatile economic and financial conditions in the global markets. Although government authorities and central banks have introduced stimulus measures to support the economies, it is difficult to predict how long these conditions will persist, whether conditions will normalise without the stimulus measures, what structural and/or regulatory changes may result from these conditions or how frequently such crisis will recur in the future. Such conditions are outside of our control but they would have a material adverse effect on our ability and cost of accessing the financial markets, our profitability, financial condition and prospects. We are vulnerable to increases in the cost of fastener products Raw materials, such as steel, brass and aluminium, are used in the production of fastener products. An increase in the prices of such raw materials will likely result in an increase in the price of fastener products that we purchase from fastener manufacturers. In the event that we are unable to pass on any increase in the prices to our customers, our profit margins will be compressed and consequently, our business, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. We do not have long-term purchase commitments from our customers and may not be able to retain our existing customers Our customers do not commit to definite and long-term purchase arrangements for the various products supplied by us. Our customers, mainly being other distributors with retail networks, may decide to purchase directly from fastener manufacturers or other fastener suppliers. If a significant number of our customers were to buy from other sources, then our business, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected. In addition, while we have good business relationships with our customers, there can be no assurance that they will not significantly reduce their orders with us or will continue to place orders with us in the future. In such an event, if we are unable to secure alternative orders of comparable size, whether from new or existing customers, our business, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected. We may be affected by inventory holding costs and a downward adjustment in the net realisable value of our inventory We have been adopting a strategy of keeping a ready inventory of products so that we would be better able to meet the immediate demands of our customers. Our level of inventory is mainly based on the actual and anticipated demand for specific products from our customers as well as the cost of purchases.

30

RISK FACTORS
As at 31 December 2012, our inventory accounted for approximately 75.8% of our current assets. Our inventory turnover days for each of FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012 were 217 days, 236 days and 305 days, respectively. As a result of holding and managing a significant level of inventory, we may incur high holding costs such as financing costs, warehousing and logistic costs and insurance costs. A significant increase in these costs may have a material and adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position. While our inventory range and inventory levels are reviewed regularly to ensure that we have sufficient inventory on hand to meet confirmed and projected sales orders, we are unable to predict with certainty our customers’ orders. There is also no certainty that our customers will not reschedule delivery of their purchases or cancel their orders. In the event that we are unable to convert our inventory into sales with a satisfactory profit margin, our operating cashflow, results of operations and financial position will be materially and adversely affected. In addition, as our accounting policies require us to record our inventory at the lower of cost or net realisable value, any downward adjustment in the carrying value of our inventory may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Inventory Management ” of this Offer Document for more details. We are dependent on our major suppliers who account for a significant portion of our purchases Although we have not experienced any significant problems with our major suppliers and have maintained good business relationships with them since we began making purchases from them, there can be no assurance that our business relationships will remain cordial and/or that we will be able to continue obtaining supplies from them on terms which are acceptable to us. Our purchases from our major suppliers accounted for, in aggregate, approximately 91.1%, 89.5% and 89.6% of our total purchases in FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012, respectively. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Major Suppliers ” of this Offer Document for further details of our major suppliers. We have distribution agreements with certain of our major suppliers and one of our distribution agreements with these major suppliers is non-exclusive. In the event that any of our major suppliers were to supply our competitors with their products in the territories that we have non-exclusivity in, competition will increase and our business, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Distribution Agreements ” of this Offer Document for further details of our distribution agreements. In addition, our distribution agreements with our major suppliers are subject to renewal and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully renew these agreements on terms acceptable to us, or at all, in which case, our business, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. If any of our major suppliers are unable to fulfil our purchase requirements, we may not be able to seek alternative sources of products in time, or we may be subject to higher costs from alternative suppliers. In addition, notwithstanding that our products are typically generic in nature, there is no assurance that such alternative sources of products will be acceptable to our customers. Further, any significant delay or disruption in the delivery schedules of our purchase

31

RISK FACTORS
orders, to the extent that it causes a shortage in our inventory or range of products available, may affect our ability to meet our customers’ orders, resulting in lost sales and hence may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects. We require adequate working capital to fund our operations We will require adequate funding either from internal resources or borrowings to fund the working capital of our business. Our ability to arrange adequate financing on terms which are acceptable depends on a number of factors that are beyond our control, including general economic, liquidity and political conditions, the terms on which financial institutions are willing to extend credit to us, and the availability of other sources of debt financing or equity financing. If we are unable to secure adequate financing, our business and growth may be adversely affected. There is no assurance that our future plans will be commercially successful Our growth strategies include enhancing our warehouse facilities, upgrading our inventory management system, diversifying our product range and expanding our business through acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic alliances. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Business Strategies and Future Plans ” of this Offer Document for more details. These expansion plans will require substantial capital expenditure, financial and management resources and expose our business to unforeseen liabilities and risks associated with entering new markets or new businesses which we have no experience in. There is no assurance that such future plans will be commercially successful and if for any reason, we fail to manage our expansion efficiently or execute our plans or integrate them successfully with our existing operations, our business, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. We may require additional funding for our future growth Although we have identified our future growth plans as set out in the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Business Strategies and Future Plans ” of this Offer Document, the net proceeds from this Placement will not be sufficient to fully cover the estimated costs of implementing all these plans. We may also identify future opportunities to grow either organically or through acquisitions or otherwise which we have yet to identify at this juncture. Hence, we may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund these plans. Any new Shares which are issued to finance our expansion plans could result in dilution in the interests of our Shareholders. If such financing does not generate a commensurate increase in earnings, our EPS will be diluted, and this could also lead to a decline in our Share price. Additional debt financing may, apart from increasing interest expenses and gearing, subject us to various restrictive covenants and result in all or any of the following: (a) (b) (c) limit our ability to pay dividends; increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund capital expenditure, working capital and other requirements; and/or limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry. 32

(d)

RISK FACTORS
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional equity and/or debt financing on terms that are acceptable to us or at all. Any inability to secure additional equity and/or debt financing may materially and adversely affect our business, implementation of our business strategies and future plans, results of operations and financial condition. We operate in a highly competitive environment and face competition from existing competitors and new market entrants We operate in a highly competitive environment. We generally compete with our competitors on, among other things, competitive pricing, good customer and delivery service and the quality of our products. There is no assurance that we can continue to compete against our competitors successfully in the future. We may face more intense competition in the future from existing competitors and new market entrants. Our competitors or potential competitors may be in a better position to expand their market share, whether because they have longer operating histories, larger customer base, greater access to suppliers, wider range of products, greater financial resources or otherwise. Increased competition may result in lower demand for our products, lower profit margins and/or loss of market share. If we fail to compete effectively, and to maintain or grow our market share, our business, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Competition ” of this Offer Document for more information. We face risks of payment delays and/or default by customers whom we have extended credit to As at 31 December 2012, our trade receivables were approximately S$1.9 million and accounted for approximately 18.8% of our current assets. We may extend credit terms ranging from 30 days to 60 days on a case-by-case basis to our customers, depending on, inter alia , the length of the customer relationship and their credit-worthiness. For FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012, our trade receivables turnover days were approximately 58 days, 56 days and 59 days, respectively. We have not written off or provided for any bad or doubtful debts during the period under review and up to the Latest Practicable Date. Our credit customers may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations to us, either in a timely manner or at all. In addition, our customers may cancel their orders. The reasons for payment delays, cancellations or default may include, inter alia , our customers’ insolvency or bankruptcy, or inability to raise sufficient financing. Further, we may not be able to enforce our contractual rights to receive payment through legal proceedings. A material increase in bad and doubtful debts will adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects. We face the risk of operating from a single location All of our operations are housed in one location at 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2, #01-06/07 Eunos Warehouse Complex. Should we be unable to operate out of Eunos Warehouse Complex or should our operations at Eunos Warehouse Complex be temporarily or permanently disrupted whether because of fire, accidents, the spread of communicable disease, any debarment from usage by the government or other circumstances, our business, results of operations and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.

33

RISK FACTORS
We are exposed to the risks of intellectual property infringement or may face litigation suits for intellectual property infringement We have registered a trademark in Singapore and have made an application to register our trademark in Malaysia. There is no assurance that our application will be successful. We are not aware of any violations or infringements of our intellectual property rights over the period under review and for the period from 1 January 2013 to the date of this Offer Document. However, there is no assurance that third parties will not infringe our intellectual property rights in ways that will have negative repercussions on our reputation, business and results of operations or that measures taken by us will be effective in protecting our intellectual property rights. In the event that third parties unlawfully infringe on our intellectual property rights, we may face considerable difficulties and costly litigation in order to fully protect our intellectual property rights which may in turn adversely affect our business, reputation, operations, results of our operations, financial condition and prospects. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Intellectual Property ” of this Offer Document for further details of our intellectual property. Pursuant to our distribution agreements with certain of our major suppliers, we are allowed to use certain of their logos and trademarks in our advertising material. Please refer to the section entitled “ General Information on Our Group – Distribution Agreements ” of this Offer Document for further details of our intellectual property. However, we may, in future, receive allegations from third parties asserting the infringement of their intellectual property rights in relation to our business and operations. Any claim or litigation against us in respect of the infringement of intellectual property rights of third parties, whether with or without merit, could divert a significant amount of our management, financial and other resources and could also affect our reputation with our customers and suppliers which would in turn, have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and prospects. We may be affected by any adverse impact on our reputation and goodwill We have built our reputation as a reliable supplier of quality fasteners. Any negative publicity about us, our Directors, our Executive Officers or our Substantial Shareholders, whether founded or unfounded may tarnish our reputation and goodwill with our customers and suppliers. Such negative publicity or announcement may include, inter alia , unsuccessful attempts in joint ventures, acquisitions or takeovers, or involvement in litigation or insolvency proceedings. Under these circumstances, our customers and suppliers may lose confidence in our business, our Directors, our Executive Officers or our Substantial Shareholders, and this could affect our business relationships with them and their referral of new business opportunities. This may have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, prospects and the Share price performance of our Company. To the best of our Directors’ knowledge and belief, none of our existing Directors, Executive Officers or Substantial Shareholders nor our Group is presently involved in any litigation or insolvency proceedings. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate We have taken up insurance policies for risks such as fire, public liability and work injury compensation. However, no insurance can compensate for all potential losses and there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate or that our insurers will pay a particular claim. We do not have keyman insurance coverage for our key personnel, including Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng. There are also certain types of risks that are not covered by our insurance policies because they are either uninsurable or not economically insurable, 34

RISK FACTORS
including acts of war and acts of terrorism. In addition, we are not insured against business disruption. If such events were to occur, we may have to bear the costs of any uninsured risk or uninsured amount, which can have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. We may face foreign exchange transaction exposure For the last three financial years ended 31 December 2012, approximately 75.8% and 24.2% of our revenue was denominated in S$ and US$, respectively, while approximately 91.3% of our cost of purchases, which constitutes a significant proportion of our total expenses, was denominated in US$. To the extent that our revenue and costs are not perfectly matched in the same currency and that there are time gaps between invoicing and payment, we will be exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations against our functional and reporting currency in S$. Accordingly, any significant foreign currency fluctuations against the S$ may have an impact on our results of operations. In FY2010 and FY2012, we recorded a net foreign exchange loss of approximately S$17,000 and S$38,000 respectively, as compared to a net foreign exchange gain of approximately S$4,000 in FY2011. To fund our Group’s purchases with our suppliers and to manage our foreign exchange exposure, our Group typically draws down on our trust receipt facilities with banks, and fixes the S$ to US$ exchange rate on amounts owing by our Group to our suppliers that are denominated in US$ as part of this process, thereby converting and crystallising the US$ liability into a S$ liability from our Group’s perspective. Consequently, we do not have a formal foreign currency hedging policy with respect to our foreign exchange exposure. As at the date of this Offer Document, we have not used any financial hedging instruments to manage our foreign exchange risk. We will continue to monitor our foreign exchange exposure and may employ hedging instruments to manage our foreign exchange exposure should the need arise in the future. If necessary, we will seek the approval of our Board on the policy for entering into any foreign exchange hedging transactions and will put in place adequate procedures which will be reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee. Our operations are subject to the negative impact of government import policies and tariffs We export a significant proportion of our products which may be subject to import taxes or other import controls in certain countries. Although import taxes are generally paid by customers importing our products, other import controls may also affect the overall cost and saleability of our products relative to identical products imported from other countries which may be subject to lower import taxes or less stringent import controls or none at all. If our products are subject to import taxes or other import controls in the countries that we export to and we are unable to take advantage of applicable tax treaties or free trade or similar agreements with these countries, or if such tax treaties or other tax concessions are abolished, we may not be able to compete effectively against our overseas competitors whose products may not be subject to similar import taxes or other import controls, or who enjoy more favourable treatment for their products than us, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, any material changes in the import policies of our export markets, such as an import ban or an increase in import taxes or other similar or related actions by the various governments, would adversely affect the price competitiveness of our products.

35

RISK FACTORS
An outbreak of communicable diseases, severe weather conditions, natural disasters or other incidents may affect us, our customers and our suppliers which if uncontrolled, would affect our financial performance and conditions In recent years, the outbreaks of various communicable diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome and the avian influenza have resulted in global economic and social uncertainties. Severe weather conditions, natural disasters such as earthquakes and other incidents such as terrorist attacks or armed conflicts or riots have from time to time disrupted business operations and caused widespread destruction. If any of these occurrences were to happen to any of our major customers, major suppliers or their employees or to us or our employees, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially and adversely affected. RISKS RELATING TO OWNERSHIP OF OUR SHARES Investments in securities quoted on Catalist involve a higher degree of risk and can be less liquid than shares quoted on the Main Board of the SGX-ST We have made an application for our Shares to be admitted to Catalist, a listing platform primarily designed for fast growing and emerging or smaller companies to which a higher investment risk tends to be attached as compared to larger or more established companies listed on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. An investment in shares quoted on Catalist may carry a higher risk than an investment in shares quoted on the Main Board of the SGX-ST and the future success and liquidity in the market of our Shares cannot be guaranteed. Pursuant to the Listing Manual, we are required to, inter alia, retain a sponsor at all times after the admission of our Company to Catalist. In particular, unless approved by the SGX-ST, the Sponsor must act as our continuing sponsor for at least three years after the admission of our Company to Catalist. In addition, we may be delisted in the event that we do not have a sponsor for more than three continuous months. There is no guarantee that following the expiration of the three-year period, the Sponsor will continue to act as our sponsor or that we are able to find a replacement sponsor within the three-month period. Should such risks materialise, we may be delisted. There has been no prior market for our Shares and the Placement may not result in an active or liquid market Prior to the Placement, there has been no public market for our Shares. Although we have made an application to the SGX-ST to list our Shares on Catalist, there is no assurance that an active trading market for our Shares will develop, or if it develops, be sustained. The rules of the Listing Manual require that companies applying for listing of their equity securities on Catalist meet certain minimum shareholding spread and distribution requirements. While we will need to meet these requirements in order to list our Shares on Catalist, these requirements are only minimum requirements and our shareholding distribution in the Placement and our post-Placement shareholding spread may not substantially exceed these limits or may even fall below these limits after the Placement. In the case where the percentage of our post-Placement share capital held by public shareholders is less than 10%, the SGX-ST may suspend trading of our Shares. As a result, liquidity of our Shares can be materially curtailed and there may be no or limited trading in our Shares, and you may not be able to acquire Shares or sell your Shares in our Company, either at a favourable price or at all. In addition, if shares, such as our Shares, have only limited liquidity, the price of such shares can fluctuate significantly as a result of only one or a small number of trades in these shares.

36

RISK FACTORS
Control by our Controlling Shareholders may limit your ability to influence the outcome of decisions requiring the approval of Shareholders Upon completion of the Placement, our Controlling Shareholders will collectively own 70.0% of our post-Placement share capital. By virtue of their controlling ownership of our share capital, our Controlling Shareholders will be able to exert significant influence over our business and otherwise on matters of significance to us and other Shareholders by voting at our Company’s general meetings of Shareholders, including: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) election of directors; amount and timing of dividend payments and other distributions; acquisition of or merger with another entity; overall strategic and investment decisions; issuance of securities and adjustment to our capital structure; and amendments to our Articles of Association.

Our Controlling Shareholders will collectively have veto power with respect to any Shareholders’ action or approval requiring a majority vote except where they are required by the relevant laws, rules and regulations to abstain from voting. Such concentration of ownership also may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our Group even if such change may be beneficial to our minority public Shareholders. Investors in our Shares will face immediate and substantial dilution in our NTA per Share and may experience future dilution Our Placement Price of S$0.25 per Share is substantially higher than our audited NTA per Share as at 31 December 2012 of S$0.16 after adjusting for the estimated net proceeds due to our Company from the Placement and based on the post-Placement issued share capital. If we were liquidated for NTA immediately following the Placement, each Shareholder subscribing to the Placement would receive less than the Placement Price they paid for their Shares. Details of the immediate dilution of our Shares incurred by new investors are described under the section entitled “ Dilution ” of this Offer Document. Further, if we were to raise funds in the future by way of a placement of Shares, rights issue, or other equity-linked securities for our future equity or equity-linked growth, investments, capital expenditure, and working capital, and if any Shareholder is not entitled, unable or unwilling to participate in such fund-raising, such Shareholder will suffer dilution in their shareholdings in our Company. Further, an issue of our Shares below the then prevailing market price will also affect the value of our Shares then held by an investor. Dilution may occur in shareholding terms even if the issue of Shares is at a premium to the market price. Future sales or issuance of our Shares by our Company or future sales of our Shares by Shareholders could materially and adversely affect our Share price Any future sale or issuance or availability of a large number of our Shares in the public market after the Placement or perception thereof can have a downward pressure on our Share price. These factors could also affect our ability to sell additional equity securities in the future, at a time and price we deem appropriate. In addition, our Share price may come under downward pressure

RISK FACTORS
if certain of our Shareholders sell their Shares upon the expiry of their moratorium periods. Save as disclosed under the section entitled “ Shareholders – Moratorium ” of this Offer Document, there is no other restriction on the ability of our Shareholders to dispose of their shareholdings. Investors may not be able to participate in future issues of our Shares In the event that we issue new Shares, we will be under no obligation to offer those Shares to our existing Shareholders at the time of issue, except where we elect to conduct a rights issue. If we offer to our Shareholders rights to subscribe for additional Shares or any rights of any other nature or other equity issues, we will have the discretion and be subject to the relevant laws, rules and regulations as to the procedures to be followed in making such rights offering available to our existing Shareholders or in disposing of such rights for the benefit of such Shareholders and making the net proceeds available to them. We may choose not to offer the rights or other equity issues to our Shareholders or investors having an address outside Singapore, hence overseas Shareholders or investors may be unable to participate in future offerings of our Shares and may experience dilution of their interests in our Company. Our Share price may be volatile in future which could result in substantial losses for investors purchasing Shares pursuant to the Placement The trading price of our Shares may fluctuate significantly and rapidly after the Placement as a result of, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond our control: (a) (b) (c) variations of our operating results; changes in analysts’ recommendations or estimates of our financial performance; changes in market valuations and share prices of companies with businesses similar to that of our Group that may be listed in Singapore or elsewhere; announcements by us of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures; fluctuations in stock market prices and volume; our involvement in material litigation; additions or departures of our key management personnel; material changes or uncertainty in the political, economic and regulatory environment in the markets that we operate or have business relationships with; success or failure of our efforts in implementing business and growth strategies; and changes in conditions affecting the industry in which we operate, the general economic conditions or stock market sentiments or other events or factors.

There is also no assurance that the market price for our Shares will not decline below the Placement Price. The Placement Price may not be indicative of prices that may prevail in the trading market after the Placement. Investors may not be able to sell their Shares at or above the Placement Price. The market price of our Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations due to various external factors and events including the liquidity of our Shares in the market, difference between our actual financial or operating results and those expected by investors and analysts, the general market conditions and broad market fluctuations.

For further details of the guarantees provided by our Executive Directors, please refer to the section entitled “ Interested Person Transactions – Present and On-going Interested Person Transactions ” of this Offer Document. Following the admission of our Company to Catalist, we intend to procure a release and discharge of the aforementioned guarantees from the relevant financial institutions.

Since 30 April 2013 up to the Latest Practicable Date, there were no material changes in our capitalisation and indebtedness as disclosed above, save for our partial repayment of the interest-free loans extended to us by our Executive Directors of S$1.6 million that were outstanding as at 30 April 2013, changes in the amounts of banking facilities utilised, and changes in our retained earnings arising from our day-to-day operations in the ordinary course of business. As at the date of this Offer Document, all loans owing by us to our Executive Directors have been fully repaid. To the best of our Directors’ knowledge and belief, we are not in breach of any of the terms and conditions or covenants associated with any credit arrangement or bank loan which could materially affect our financial position or financial results or business operations and none of our Controlling Shareholders’ Shares have been pledged, charged or mortgaged as collateral to secure any credit or banking facilities. Certain of our banking/credit facilities as described in this section contain provisions which require us to obtain consent from the relevant financial institution prior to any substantial change in the shareholdings of Shareholders. As at the date of this Offer Document, our Group has, in anticipation of the Placement, obtained letters of consent in relation to such provisions from the financial institutions which have provided such facilities. For the banking/credit facilities with UOB, the consent granted was subject to Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng remaining the legal and registered owners of an aggregate of not less than 51% of the shareholdings of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 728 of the Listing Manual, Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng, being Controlling Shareholders of our Company, have each provided an undertaking to our Company that he will notify our Company, as soon as he becomes aware of any share pledging arrangements relating to his Shares and of any event which may result in a breach of our Group’s loan provisions. Upon notification by any of the Controlling Shareholders, our Company will make the necessary announcement(s) in compliance with the said rule. In the event that any Group company enters into a loan agreement or issues debt securities that contain a condition making reference to shareholding interests of any Controlling Shareholder, or places restrictions on any change in control of our Group, and the breach of this condition or restriction will cause a default in respect of the loan agreement or debt securities, significantly affecting the operations of our Group, we will immediately announce the details of the condition(s) in accordance with Rule 704(33) of the Listing Manual, making reference to the shareholding interests of such Controlling Shareholder or restrictions placed on any change in control of our Company and the aggregate level of these facilities that may be affected by a breach of such condition or restriction.

DILUTION
Dilution is the amount by which the Placement Price paid by the subscribers of our Placement Shares (“ New Investors ”) exceeds our NAV per Share immediately after the Placement. Our audited NAV per Share as at 31 December 2012, before adjusting for the estimated net proceeds from the Placement and based on our Company’s pre-Placement share capital of 47,600,000 Shares, was 14.3 cents per Share.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cost of sales Our cost of sales comprises mainly purchases of fastener products from our suppliers. As our products are generally generic in nature, we select our suppliers based on their reputation, reliability, pricing, purchase terms and timeliness of delivery. We have established strong relationships with our suppliers, which in turn provides us with assurance of the continuity of our supplies including those of well established brands in the fastener industry such as YFS, THE, RECOIL and SFC. For the period under review, we purchased our products from fastener manufacturers located mainly in Taiwan, People’s Republic of China, Japan, Australia and India. Factors affecting our cost of sales Our cost of sales may be affected by, inter alia , the following key factors: (a) our ability to source for and purchase fastener products at competitive prices that meet our customers’ requirements; our ability to maintain our existing relationships with our suppliers; the price of raw materials, such as steel, brass and aluminium, used in the production of fastener products; our ability to manage the costs related to maintaining our inventory range and holding our inventory level, such as financing costs, warehousing and logistics costs and insurance costs, as we seek to expand our business and meet the product requirements of our customers; and the exchange rate between US$ against S$.

(b) (c)

(e)

As a substantial amount of our purchases are denominated in foreign currencies, particularly US$, and since our functional currency is S$, any fluctuation in the relevant exchange rates will have an impact on our purchases.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Other income Our other income comprises mainly reversal of impairment losses on our leasehold properties at 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2, #01-06/07 Eunos Warehouse Complex Singapore 417837 and government grants and credits received under the Internationalisation Capability Development Program and SME Cash Grant. Our leasehold properties are accounted for on a cost-model basis, with an impairment assessment carried out annually. In line with the general improvement in Singapore’s industrial property prices during the period under review, we recorded the reversals of impairment losses on our leasehold properties amounting to S$182,000 and S$62,000 in FY2010 and FY2011, respectively. The Internationalisation Capability Development Program is a one-off tax-exempt government grant program introduced by IE Singapore in 2009 to upgrade the competitiveness of local enterprises. The SME Cash Grant is a one-off non-taxable cash grant introduced by the Singapore government in 2012 to help companies offset the high operating costs which may persist in the business slowdown. Other income amounted to approximately S$259,000, S$63,000 and S$8,000 in FY2010, FY2011, and FY2012, respectively. Selling and distribution expenses Selling and distribution expenses comprise mainly remuneration of personnel engaged in distribution and marketing, travelling expenses in relation to sales and marketing activities, advertising and promotional costs and freight expenses. Selling and distribution expenses amounted to approximately S$551,000, S$608,000 and S$720,000, and accounted for approximately 4.6%, 4.9%, and 5.9% of our revenue for FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012, respectively. Administration expenses Administration expenses comprise mainly directors’ fees and remuneration, insurance expenses, depreciation charges, warehouse maintenance fees, professional fees, Placement expenses and general office expenditure. Administration expenses amounted to approximately S$1.5 million, S$1.6 million and S$1.9 million, and accounted for approximately 12.8%, 13.0%, and 15.4% of our revenue for FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012, respectively. Finance expenses Finance expenses relate to interest incurred on bank borrowings, and on trust receipts facilities drawn down from banks. Finance expenses amounted to approximately S$48,000, S$30,000 and S$46,000, and accounted for approximately 0.4%, 0.2%, and 0.4% of our revenue for FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012, respectively. Income tax expense We are subject to income tax at the applicable statutory tax rate in Singapore, which was 17.0% during the period under review. Our effective tax rate was 12.7%, 11.8% and 17.9% in FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012, respectively. In FY2010 and FY2011, the effective tax rates were lower than the statutory rate mainly due to the one-off tax-exempt cash grant received in FY2010 arising from the Internationalisation Capability Development Program and tax credits received in FY2011 from the Productivity Innovation Credit Scheme (“ PICS ”). The PICS was introduced by IRAS in 2010 and allowed for enhanced tax

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
deductions for qualifying expenses, such as the upgrading of IT infrastructure undertaken by our Group. In FY2012, the effective tax rate was marginally higher than the statutory tax rate as a result of professional fees arising from the preparation for the Placement which are non-tax deductible.

REVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FY2011 compared to FY2010 Revenue Our revenue increased by approximately S$511,000 or 4.3% from S$12.0 million in FY2010 to S$12.5 million in FY2011 due mainly to an increase in sales to our customers in Emerging Markets, in particular, our customers in Sri Lanka and Argentina. Gross profit and gross profit margin Gross profit decreased by approximately S$103,000 or 2.7% from S$3.8 million in FY2010 to S$3.7 million in FY2011. The corresponding gross profit margin decreased from approximately 31.5% in FY2010 to approximately 29.4% in FY2011. The decrease in our gross profit and gross profit margin in FY2011 compared to FY2010 was due to: (a) the higher cost of purchases in line with the higher cost of raw materials such as steel, for which we were not able to fully pass on the increased costs to our customers; and the bulk discounts that we provided to several of our customers who had placed larger orders with us compared to the previous financial year.

(b)

Other income Other income decreased by approximately S$196,000 from S$259,000 in FY2010 to S$63,000 in FY2011 mainly due to a lower reversal of impairment loss on our leasehold properties of approximately S$62,000 in FY2011 versus S$182,000 in FY2010 as well as the absence of S$70,000 in one-off tax-exempt government grant under the Internationalisation Capability Development Program that was received in FY2010 to develop our Group’s branding. The reversal of impairment losses on our leasehold properties in FY2011 was in line with the general increase in Singapore’s industrial property prices. However, the amount was lower than that for FY2010 and was limited to S$62,000 as this represented the full reversal of accumulated impairment losses on our leasehold properties, which are to be reflected at the lower of cost or net carrying value in accordance with our Group’s accounting policy. Selling and distribution expenses Selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately 10.3% or S$57,000 from S$551,000 in FY2010 to S$608,000 in FY2011 mainly due to the increase in the number of sales and warehouse staff to support the increase in our business activities.

61

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Administration expenses Administration expenses increased by approximately S$95,000 or 6.2% from S$1.5 million in FY2010 to S$1.6 million in FY2011 mainly due to additional depreciation charges arising from the upgrading of our IT infrastructure to enhance the tracking and management of our increasingly wide product range. Finance expenses Finance expenses decreased by approximately S$18,000 from S$48,000 in FY2010 to S$30,000 in FY2011 due to the lower interest expense incurred on our bank loans and trust receipts. Interest expense incurred on our bank loans was lower in FY2011 because of the repayment of S$410,000 in bank loans. Interest expense incurred on our trust receipts was lower in FY2011 as we drew down a lower amount of our trust receipts facilities during the financial year to finance our inventory purchases. Profit before taxation As a result of the foregoing, profit before taxation decreased by approximately S$433,000 or 22.6% from S$1.9 million in FY2010 to S$1.5 million in FY2011. FY2012 compared to FY2011 Revenue Our revenue decreased by approximately S$209,000 or 1.7% from S$12.5 million in FY2011 to S$12.3 million in FY2012 due mainly to a decline in sales of approximately S$635,000 to our customers in Indonesia, Emerging Markets and other countries, which was offset by an increase in sales of approximately S$426,000 to our customers in Singapore and Malaysia. Gross profit and gross profit margin Gross profit increased by approximately S$295,000 or 8.0% from S$3.7 million in FY2011 to S$4.0 million in FY2012. The corresponding gross profit margin increased from approximately 29.4% in FY2011 to approximately 32.3% in FY2012. The increase in our gross profit and gross profit margin in FY2012 compared to FY2011 was due to a decrease in our cost of purchases of fastener products in line with the general slowdown in the global economy. Other income Other income decreased by approximately S$55,000 from S$63,000 in FY2011 to S$8,000 in FY2012 mainly due to the absence of any reversal of impairment loss on leasehold properties which was offset by the receipt of a one-off non-taxable SME Cash Grant of S$5,000. In FY2012, there was no reversal of impairment loss on leasehold properties notwithstanding a general increase in Singapore’s industrial property prices as all the accumulated impairment losses had been fully reversed in FY2011.

62

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Selling and distribution expenses Selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately 18.4% or S$112,000 from S$608,000 in FY2011 to S$720,000 in FY2012 due to the increase in sales staff to support the increase in our business activities, as well as the full-year effect of the sales and warehouse staff that joined us over the course of FY2011. Administration expenses Administration expenses increased by approximately S$261,000 from S$1.6 million in FY2011 to S$1.9 million in FY2012 mainly due to the increase in professional fees of approximately S$173,000 arising from the preparation for the Placement. In addition, we increased the number of our finance and administration staff to support the actual and anticipated increase in our business activities. Finance expenses Finance expenses increased by approximately S$16,000 from S$30,000 in FY2011 to S$46,000 in FY2012 mainly attributable to an increase of interest expense incurred on trust receipts due to a higher amount of our trust receipts facilities drawn down during the financial year to finance our inventory purchases. Profit before taxation As a result of the foregoing, profit before taxation decreased by approximately S$149,000 or 10.1% from S$1.5 million in FY2011 to S$1.3 million in FY2012.

An analysis of our cashflows for each of FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012 is set out below: Net cash flows from/(used in) operating activities FY2010 In FY2010, we generated net cash flow from operating activities of approximately S$1.5 million which mainly consisted of operating cash flows before working capital changes of S$1.9 million, net working capital outflow of S$204,000, and income tax paid of S$187,000. The net working capital outflow arose mainly from an increase in inventories of approximately S$522,000 in line with our strategy of keeping a ready inventory of products to meet the immediate demands of our customers, which was partly offset by: (a) a decrease in trade and other receivables, and prepayments, of approximately S$162,000 due mainly to a general increase in sales to customers with whom we normally transact on cash terms; and

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(b) an increase in trade and other payables of approximately S$156,000 due to a large purchase order made with a supplier that had remained outstanding at year-end within the credit terms extended to us.

FY2011 In FY2011, net cash flow used in operating activities was approximately S$52,000, which consisted mainly of operating cash flows before working capital changes of S$1.7 million, net working capital outflow of S$1.5 million, and income tax paid of S$247,000. The net working capital outflow arose mainly from the following: (a) an increase in inventories of approximately S$1.1 million as we expanded the range and quantity of products in line with our strategy of being better able to meet the immediate demands of our customers; an increase in trade and other receivables, and prepayments, of approximately S$274,000 arising from higher sales made on credit terms in December 2011; and a decrease in trade and other payables of approximately S$95,000 due mainly to the absence of the effect of the large purchase order made with a supplier that had remained outstanding at year-end in FY2010.

(c)

FY2012 In FY2012, we generated net cash flow from operating activities of approximately S$543,000 which consisted mainly of operating cash flows before working capital changes of S$1.5 million, net working capital outflow of S$804,000, and income tax paid of S$174,000. The net working capital outflow arose mainly from an increase in inventories of approximately S$1.4 million as we continued to increase the range and quantity of our inventories in anticipation of market demand, which was partly offset by: (a) a decrease in trade and other receivables, and prepayments, of approximately S$118,000 mainly due to a fall in sales on credit terms at year-end; and an increase in trade and other payables of approximately S$438,000 mainly due to an increase in professional fees payable in relation to the Placement and audit services and a longer average trade payable turnover days of 82 in FY2012 compared with 65 in FY2011.

(b)

Net cash flows used in investing activities FY2010 Net cash flow used in investing activities amounted to approximately S$86,000 in FY2010 mainly due to the acquisition of logistical equipment used in managing our inventory.

66

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FY2011 Net cash flow used in investing activities amounted to approximately S$131,000 in FY2011 mainly due to the upgrading of our IT infrastructure to enhance the tracking and management of our increasingly wide product range. FY2012 Net cash flow used in investing activities amounted to approximately S$101,000 in FY2012 mainly due to the improvement works made to our office to accommodate the increase in our sales and finance teams including additional furniture and fittings, leasehold improvements, new office and computer equipment and additional logistical equipment to improve our inventory management efficiency. Net cash flows used in financing activities FY2010 Net cash flows used in financing activities amounted to approximately S$1.1 million in FY2010. This was mainly due to: (a) (b) repayment of bank loans of approximately S$228,000; and payment of dividends amounting to approximately S$800,000.

FY2011 Net cash flows used in financing activities amounted to approximately S$468,000 in FY2011. This was mainly due to: (a) (b) repayment of bank loans of approximately S$410,000; and payment of dividends amounting to approximately S$800,000,

which was partially offset by a net drawdown of our trust receipts facilities amounting to approximately S$772,000 for the purchase of inventory to increase our product range. FY2012 Net cash flows used in financing activities amounted to approximately S$300,000 in FY2012. This was mainly due to: (a) (b) (c) the net repayment of trust receipts facilities of approximately S$287,000; repayment of bank loans of approximately S$167,000; and payment of dividends amounting to approximately S$800,000,

which was partially offset by new bank borrowings of S$1.0 million for working capital purposes.

FY2012 In FY2012, our Group incurred a total of S$101,000 in capital expenditure. This was mainly due to improvement works made to our office space to accommodate the increase in our sales and finance teams, comprising S$36,000 in additional furniture and fittings, S$17,000 to replace obsolete computer equipment and S$13,000 in leasehold equipment and office equipment. Further, we spent approximately S$35,000 on additional logistical equipment to improve our inventory management efficiency. In FY2012, our divestments mainly comprise the write-off of leasehold improvements of S$20,000 and furniture and fittings of S$14,000 that were deemed to be no longer useful after the renovations, as well as the write-off of obsolete office and computer equipment of S$24,000 in total.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE MANAGEMENT Our reporting currency is in S$. While our operations are primarily carried out in Singapore, our sales and purchases of inventories are largely denominated and transacted in S$ and US$. For FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012, the percentage of revenue and purchases of inventories denominated in the various currencies, are as set out below: FY2010 % of revenue denominated in S$ US$ 77.4 22.6 100.0 % of purchases denominated in S$ US$ Japanese Yen Others 2.5 92.5 1.0 4.0 100.0 2.7 92.3 1.8 3.2 100.0 2.3 89.1 5.2 3.4 100.0 75.7 24.3 100.0 74.4 25.6 100.0 FY2011 FY2012

To the extent that our revenue and purchases are not perfectly matched in the same currency and there are timing differences between the invoicing of our customers and the payment to our suppliers, we will be exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations against our functional and reporting currency in S$ which may adversely affect our results of operations. Currently, we do not have a formal foreign currency hedging policy with respect to our foreign exchange exposure. As at the date of this Offer Document, we have not used any financial hedging instruments to manage our foreign exchange risk. We will continue to monitor our foreign exchange exposure and may employ hedging instruments to manage our foreign exchange exposure should the need arise in the future. If necessary, we will seek the approval of our Board on the policy for entering into any foreign exchange hedging transactions and will put in place adequate procedures which will be reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee. Our net foreign exchange gains/(losses) for each of FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012 are as follows: FY2010 S$’000 Net foreign exchange gains/(losses) (17) FY2011 S$’000 4 FY2012 S$’000 (38)

Over the period under review, the net foreign exchange gains/(losses) were not material in the context of our profit before taxation and profit for the respective year.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
HISTORY Our Company was incorporated on 30 April 2013 in Singapore under the Companies Act as an investment holding private limited company under the name of “PS Group Holdings Pte. Ltd.”. In preparation for the Placement, we undertook the Restructuring Exercise so that PS Fasteners became the wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company. Our Company was converted into a public company and renamed as “PS Group Holdings Ltd.” on 18 June 2013. We are a “Mix-And-Match Expert” for the supply of quality fasteners such as screws, bolts, nuts, pins, anchors, rivets, washers and clips. Our history dates back to 1982 when Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng, together with two unrelated partners, established a partnership in Singapore under the name of “Pan Sun Hardware Company” as a wholesale distributor of general hardware including fasteners in Singapore. As Pan Sun’s business expanded, it ventured into the import/export market and started distributing fastener products for brands such as YFS, THE, RECOIL and SFC. A decision was subsequently made by Teo Choon Hock, Kwek Keng Seng and their partners to incorporate PS Fasteners in Singapore on 20 June 1991 with a view that PS Fasteners would, as part of a rationalisation exercise, eventually assume Pan Sun’s import/export business while Pan Sun would continue to focus on the domestic market in Singapore. In 1992, Pan Sun was converted into a private limited company named “Pan Sun Hardware Pte. Ltd.”. Although PS Fasteners was incorporated in 1991, it remained dormant and it was only in 1994 that PS Fasteners assumed Pan Sun’s import/export business thereby taking over Pan Sun’s distributorship of fastener products with a focus on the Southeast Asia markets. In the same year, we relocated from our premises at King George’s Avenue that we had shared with Pan Sun, to a larger premise at 209 Ubi Avenue 4, Intrepid Warehouse Complex which had an area of 800 sq m. In 1997, as our business expanded, we relocated to 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2, #01-06 Eunos Warehouse Complex which had an area of 1,344 sq m for use as our office and warehouse. In the late 1990s, we launched an internet website with information of our range of products that allowed customers to place their orders with us online. This enabled us to have a more extensive reach and to expand our export operations beyond Southeast Asia. In 1998, as part of our endeavour to improve our quality management processes, we obtained certification from Quality Certification Limited for ISO 9002:94. In 2001, our ISO certification for our quality management system was updated to ISO 9002 by Moody International Certification Limited and subsequently to ISO 9001 (2000 Revision) in 2003 and ISO 9001:2008 in 2011. In 2001, PS Fasteners acquired 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2, #01-06 Eunos Warehouse Complex from Pan Sun. In 2002, a share swap was carried out amongst the four partners resulting in PS Fasteners becoming wholly-owned by Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng, and Pan Sun being wholly-owned by the other two partners. In the same year, PS Fasteners also acquired a neighbouring unit at 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2, #01-07 Eunos Warehouse Complex, thereby adding an additional 672 sq m of warehouse space. In 2007, in recognition of Fang Sheng’s long-standing relationship with PS Fasteners, Fang Sheng presented an award to PS Fasteners as Fang Sheng’s first export customer for its YFS range of products. In 2009, as part of our marketing efforts, PS Fasteners branded itself as “The Mix-And-Match Expert”. This brand position was adopted to highlight our ability to offer our customers any mix of our products for any quantity so as to allow our customers to enjoy competitive pricing. 72

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
In 2011, we put in place an online IT infrastructure which enabled us to have a faster turnaround time in processing our customers’ orders. In 2012, we were awarded the Top 100 Singapore Excellence Award 2011/2012 and the Singapore Brands Award 2012/2013 in recognition of our excellence in business. To date, we are the sole distributor for Fang Sheng’s YFS products to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Myanmar and the non-exclusive agent for Tong Hwei’s THE products in Singapore. Since PS Fasteners commenced operations in 1994, we have grown to become a supplier of over 15,000 different types and sizes of fasteners with approximately 200 customers in more than 45 countries as at the Latest Practicable Date.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW Fasteners are basic hardware devices with a wide spectrum of commercial and industrial applications used in, amongst others, manufacturing of automotives and parts, aircraft, appliances, machinery, construction and infrastructure. They can be produced using various materials such as stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel, brass, nylon and aluminium as well as to various lengths, widths, shapes and specifications for different usage. Depending on the intended application, fasteners may also undergo further processing to achieve different platings such as zinc, nickel, brass, chrome and black oxide. The type is driven by the end-use requirement or specification of the fastener, such as strength, resistance to corrosion, reusability, and many other factors. A fastener manufacturer will typically focus its manufacturing on limited types of fasteners and will sell its manufactured fasteners in large quantities through fastener distributors who will undertake the necessary marketing and logistics arrangements for distribution of the fasteners. Most industrial end-users of fasteners typically purchase a large variety of fasteners in relatively smaller quantities according to their usage and requirements and require deliveries to be made on a just-in-time basis. Due to their diversified usage patterns, the needs of industrial end-users are usually not met by a single fastener manufacturer. In addition, industrial end-users usually do not meet the minimum order quantities required by fastener manufacturers. Consequently, fastener manufacturers do not usually sell direct to industrial end-users unless their minimum order quantity is satisfied. Fastener distributors act as intermediaries by purchasing fasteners from fastener manufacturers in large quantities for resale in smaller quantities to industrial end-users. This helps to bridge the time lag between the manufacturers’ production lead times and customers’ tight delivery schedules. As fastener distributors maintain a consistent supply of fasteners of various specifications, they are able to offer their customers readily available inventory, reliable and prompt delivery service and flexible order size. Some smaller distributors specialize along industry lines because of the uniqueness of customer requirements, while others provide a wide range of fasteners used for general assembly. Larger distributors generally provide a wide range of fasteners as well as meet certain specialized industry needs, such as that of the aerospace industry. Depending on the minimum order quantities required by the fastener manufacturer, smaller distributors who are unable to meet such minimum order quantities may also purchase their supply of fasteners from larger distributors who are able to meet the required minimum order quantities.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
We typically receive order enquiries from our customers through our internet website, facsimile or by email. Following receipt of the order enquiry, our sales and marketing team will send a sales quotation to the customer. Upon confirmation of the order by the customer, a list of the products ordered will be generated by our online IT system and sent to our warehouse team for packing. As the orders we receive are generally large and consist of a variety of products, all our final cargo packages will be inspected and checked by both our warehouse supervisor and sales personnel before an invoice is sent to the customer. Unless credit terms are extended to the customer, we will arrange for the delivery of the cargo to the customer only upon payment of the invoice. Credit terms ranging from 30 days to 60 days may be extended to certain customers on a case-by-case basis.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT To maximise inventory turnover while ensuring that we have the necessary range of inventory to meet our customers’ needs, we have in place a computerised inventory management system that allows us to track our inventory movements and levels as well as our customers’ purchasing patterns. As part of our working capital management, we review the various inventory movements on a regular basis. Purchasing decisions are made having regard to the above information as well as indications of near term requirements of our customers. Purchase orders to replenish inventory are approved by the respective authorised personnel according to their authority limits. Our inventory is stored in our warehouse at 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2, #01-06/07 Eunos Warehouse Complex, Singapore 417837. Our procurement strategy is to maintain an extensive range of product items in sufficient quantities so that we have at any time readily available inventory to meet our customers’ purchase requirements and provide on-time delivery. Our inventory turnover days for the last three financial years ended 31 December 2012 are as follows: FY2010 Inventory turnover days
Note: (1) Inventory turnover days is equivalent to average inventory balance divided by cost of sales multiplied by 365 days.

We had intentionally increased our inventory levels (in terms of quantity and product range) gradually from FY2010 to FY2012 in line with our strategy of keeping a ready inventory so that we could be better able to meet the immediate demands of our customers, and this had resulted in the corresponding increase in our average inventory turnover days over the period under review. We conduct periodic physical counts of our product items at our warehouse throughout the financial year. This ensures accuracy of the information captured in our inventory management system and allows us to address any discrepancies in our inventory records. Through regular contact with our customers, our sales team understands the industries in which our customers operate, emerging industrial trends affecting their product requirements and their latest business activities. Based on this industry knowledge, we are able to assess the products that our customers require and place advance orders with our suppliers accordingly. Our inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Given the nature of our products, our inventory does not have a definite shelf life although incidents of slow moving inventory are possible. We have not experienced any write-down nor made any provisions in stock

QUALITY ASSURANCE We are committed to supplying quality fastener products to our customers. Our quality management system ensures that the fastener products we supply meet our customers’ requirements and minimise the risk of any products being rejected or returned by our customers. Our quality management system was ISO 9002:94 certified in 1998 and the certification was upgraded to ISO 9002 in 2001 and subsequently to ISO 9001 (2000 Revision) in 2003 and ISO 9001:2008 in 2011. We are audited annually by Moody International Certification Limited to ensure that our management systems continue to comply with the standards prescribed by ISO. Procurement quality control We receive inspection certificates and testing reports of fastener products from fastener manufacturers certifying that the fastener products we procure conform to applicable international standards such as DIN, JIS, ISO, BS and ANSI, as the case may be, depending on the intended application of the fastener product. Visual quality control Our warehouse supervisor and staff will visually inspect in-coming shipments of fastener products delivered to our warehouse for physical defects by sampling. All out-going fastener products are also inspected before delivery to our customers. In the event of any reported defects in the fastener products sold by us, we will liaise with the relevant fastener manufacturer to determine the nature of the defect. In the case of an inherent defect, the fastener manufacturer will typically replace the defective product.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
MAJOR SUPPLIERS As our products are generally generic in nature, we select our suppliers based on their reputation, reliability, pricing, purchase terms and timeliness of delivery. We generally do not enter into long-term or exclusive contracts with our suppliers as this allows us greater flexibility in terms of pricing, quality and timeliness of delivery of our products. Our Directors also believe that most of the products traded by our Group can be purchased from a number of different suppliers at prices comparable to those paid to our Group’s current suppliers. However, we have entered into various distribution agreements with some of our suppliers. Please refer to the sub-section entitled “ Distribution Agreements ” below for more details of these distribution agreements. Save as disclosed below, there are no suppliers who accounted for 5% or more of our total purchases for each of the last three financial years ended 31 December 2012: Percentage of total purchases (%) FY2010 FY2011 FY2012 1.0 25.1 5.8 6.2 6.4 13.8 32.8 1.8 25.9 6.7 6.1 6.5 14.4 28.1 5.2 27.5 4.5 5.8 5.8 15.0 25.8

Suppliers Cosmo Trading Co Ltd Fang Sheng Screw Co., Ltd. King Socket Screw Co Ltd L&W Fasteners Company Min Hwei Enterprise Co., Ltd. Shanghai Prime Machinery Co., Ltd. Tong Hwei Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Our total purchases from Tong Hwei generally declined between FY2010 and FY2012 due to a general decline in the price of these purchases although the volume of purchases had remained relatively stable. Our total purchases from each of our other major suppliers fluctuated year-on-year over the period under review due mainly to changes in demand for their products from our customers and our procurement policy of maintaining sufficient inventory for their products. As at the date of this Offer Document, none of our Directors, Substantial Shareholders or the Associates of our Directors and Substantial Shareholders has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of the above suppliers.

Our average trade payable turnover days increased during the period under review mainly as a higher amount of our trust receipts facilities was drawn down to finance our inventory purchases.

INSURANCE We have taken up insurance policies for risks such as fire, public liability and work injury compensation in relation to our property, inventory and staff. Our insurance policies are reviewed annually to ensure that they adequately satisfy both regulatory and business requirements. We may increase the coverage if we deem it necessary and appropriate. We have not experienced any difficulties obtaining or renewing our insurance policies, or on getting paid for our claims under any of our insurance policies. Our Directors believe that the policy specifications and insured limits of these insurance policies are in line with normal commercial practice. Save as disclosed under the section entitled “ Risk Factors ” of this Offer Document, our Directors believe that the coverage from these insurance policies is adequate for our present operations. However, significant damage or disruption to our operations or damage or loss to any of our properties, including our premises and inventory, whether as a result of fire and/or other causes, would still have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY We recognise our responsibilities to our employees, shareholders, business partners and the communities in which we operate, and are committed to achieving long-term mutually sustainable relationships with these stakeholders. We strive to enhance our corporate social responsibility in the community though charitable contributions as well as through the provision of bursaries for the education of the children of our employees.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS Save as disclosed below, our business operations in Singapore are not subject to any special legislation or regulatory controls other than those generally applicable to companies and business incorporated and/or operating in Singapore. Thus far, we have not experienced any adverse effect on our business in complying with these regulations. To the best of our Directors’ knowledge and belief, we are not in breach of any law or regulation applicable to our business operations that would materially affect our business operations. 1. Regulation of Import and Export Pursuant to the Regulation of Imports and Exports Act (Chapter 272A) of Singapore (“ RIEA ”), regulations for the registration, regulation and control of all or any class of goods imported into, exported from, transshipped in or in-transit through Singapore may be made. We engage freight forwarders to undertake the import and export of our products and who will also make the necessary permit applications for our imports and exports on a transactional basis. The Regulation of Imports and Exports Regulations (“ RIER ”) was amended on 2 April 2013 by the Regulation of Imports and Exports (Amendment) Regulations 2013 (“ Amendment Regulations ”), pursuant to which Regulation 37 of the RIER was deleted and substituted with Regulations 35A to 35I (“ New Regulations ”). Regulation 37(1) of the RIER previously provided that the Director-General of Customs (“ DGC ”) may maintain a register containing the particulars of importers, exporters, common carriers or any other person who desires to apply for a permit or any other form of approval under the RIER. Under the New Regulations, any importer, exporter, shipping agent, air cargo agent, freight forwarder, common carrier or other person who desires to obtain a permit, certificate or any other document or form of approval for any purposes of the RIEA or any regulations made thereunder, the application for which involves a declaration being made is defined as a declaring entity. Pursuant to the new Regulation 35B of the RIER, the DGC may register as a registrant any person who is, amongst others, a declaring entity. Pursuant to the Amendment Regulations, as our subsidiary, PS Fasteners, was previously registered with the Singapore Customs as an importer and exporter under the old Regulation 37(1) of the RIER, we are deemed to have been registered as a registrant under the New Regulations. Our registration with the Singapore Customs is not subject to any material conditions or renewal requirements, but may be withdrawn at any time. 2. Factory Notification Any person who desires to occupy or use any premises where any building operation or works of engineering construction is or are being carried out by way of trade or for purposes of gain is required to apply to the Commissioner for Workplace Safety and Health (“ CWSH ”) to register the premises as a “factory” pursuant to the Workplace Safety and Health (Registration of Factories) Regulations 2008 (“ WSH Factories Regulations ”). 82

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
Any person who desires to occupy or use any premises as a factory not falling within the classes of factories described within the First Schedule of the WSH Factories Regulations, shall, before the commencement of operation of the factory, submit a notification to the CWSH informing the CWSH of his intention to occupy or use those premises as a factory. However, in the event that the CWSH is of the view that the factory in respect of which a notification has been submitted poses or is likely to pose a risk to the safety, health and welfare of persons at work in the factory, the CWSH may, by notice in writing, (i) specify the date from which the notification shall cease to be valid; and (ii) direct the occupier of the factory to register the factory notwithstanding that the factory does not fall within any of the classes of the factories described in the First Schedule of the WSH Factories Regulations. Our warehouse, which is located at 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2, #01-06/07 Eunos Warehouse Complex, Singapore 417837, does not fall within any of the classes of the factories described in the First Schedule of the WSH Factories Regulations and accordingly, a notification to the CWSH will suffice. We have submitted the relevant notification to the CWSH. 3. Workplace Safety and Health The Workplace Safety and Health Act (Chapter 354A) of Singapore (“ WSHA ”) provides that every employer has the duty to take, so far as is reasonably practicable, such measures as are necessary to ensure the safety and health of his employees at work. These measures include providing and maintaining for those persons a work environment which is safe, without risk to health, and adequate as regards facilities and arrangements for their welfare at work, ensuring that adequate safety measures are taken in respect of any machinery, equipment, plant, article or process used by those persons, ensuring that those persons are not exposed to hazards arising out of the arrangement, disposal, manipulation, organisation, processing, storage, transport, working or use of things in their workplace or near their workplace and under the control of the employer, developing and implementing procedures for dealing with emergencies that may arise while those persons are at work and ensuring that those persons at work have adequate instruction, information, training and supervision as is necessary for them to perform their work. Additional duties imposed on employers are also set out in the Workplace Safety And Health (General Provisions) Regulations (“ WSHR ”). The relevant regulatory body is the MOM. Pursuant to the WSHR, the following equipment, amongst others, are required to be tested and examined by an examiner (“ Authorised Examiner ”), who is authorised by the CWSH, before they can be used in a workplace and thereafter, at specified intervals: (a) (b) (c) hoist or lift; lifting gears; and lifting appliances and lifting machines.

Upon examination, the Authorised Examiner will issue and sign a certificate of test and examination, specifying the safe working load of the equipment. Such certificate of test and examination shall be kept available for inspection. Under the WSHR, it is the duty of the occupier to keep a register containing the requisite particulars with respect to the lifting gears, lifting appliances and lifting machines.

83

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
In addition, under the WSHA, inspectors appointed by the CWSH may, inter alia , enter, inspect and examine any workplace and any machinery, equipment, plant, installation or article at any workplace, to make such examination and inquiry as may be necessary to ascertain whether the provisions of the WSHA are complied with. Under the WSHA, the CWSH may serve a remedial order or a stop-work order in respect of a workplace if he is satisfied that (i) the workplace is in such condition, or is so located, or any part of the machinery, equipment, plant or article in the workplace is so used, that any work or process carried on in the workplace cannot be carried on with due regard to the safety, health and welfare of the persons at work; (ii) any person has contravened any duty imposed by the WSHA; or (iii) any person has done any act, or has refrained from doing any act which, in the opinion of the CWSH, poses or is likely to pose a risk to the safety, health and welfare of persons at work. The remedial order shall direct the person served with the order to take such measures, to the satisfaction of the CWSH, to, amongst others, remedy any danger so as to enable the work or process in the workplace to be carried on with due regard to the safety, health and welfare of the persons at work, whilst the stop-work order shall direct the person served with the order to immediately cease to carry on any work indefinitely or until such measures as are required by the CWSH have been taken to remedy any danger so as to enable the work or process in the workplace to be carried on with due regard to the safety, health and welfare of the persons at work. We have obtained the relevant certificates of test and examination for our lifting equipment and have not been served with a remedial order or stop-work order for our workplace at 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2, #01-06/07 Eunos Warehouse Complex, Singapore 417837. 4. Workmen’s Compensation The Work Injury Compensation Act (Chapter 354) of Singapore (“ WICA ”), which is regulated by the MOM, applies to all employees (with the exception of those set out in the Fourth Schedule of the WICA) who have entered into or work under a contract of service in respect of injury suffered by them in the course of their employment and sets out, amongst others, the amount of compensation they are entitled to and the method(s) of calculating such compensation. The WICA provides that if in any employment personal injury by accident arising out of and in the course of the employment is caused to an employee, the employer shall be liable to pay compensation in accordance with the provisions of the WICA. Further, the WICA provides, amongst others, that, where any person (referred to as the principal) in the course of or for the purpose of his trade or business contracts with any other person (referred to as the employer) for the execution by the employer of the whole or any part of any work, or for the supply of labour to carry out any work, undertaken by the principal, the principal shall be liable to pay to any employee employed in the execution of the work any compensation which he would have been liable to pay if that employee had been immediately employed by the principal. Unless exempted, employers are required to maintain adequate work injury compensation insurance for employees doing manual work as well as employees doing non-manual work and earning S$1,600 or less a month. We have in place work injury compensation insurance to cover our statutory obligations and liabilities under the WICA.

A PSA pass is issued pursuant to the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act (Chapter 256) and the Free Trade Zones Act (Chapter 114) of Singapore and at the absolute discretion of PSA. Entry into PSA’s restricted areas without a valid PSA pass constitutes an offence. We have obtained a PSA Licence for Traders: Import/Export to allow us to operate in PSA’s restricted areas. 6. Employment of Foreign Workers The employment of foreign workers in Singapore is governed by the Employment of Foreign Manpower Act (Chapter 91A) (“ EFMA ”) and is regulated by the MOM. In Singapore, under Section 5(1) of the EFMA, no person shall employ a foreign employee unless he has obtained in respect of the foreign employee a valid work pass, which allows the foreign worker to work for him. Any person who fails to comply with or contravenes Section 5(1) of the EFMA shall be guilty of an offence and shall (a) be liable on conviction to a fine not less than S$5,000 and not more than $30,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both; and (b) on a second or subsequent conviction, (i) in the case of an individual, be punished with a fine of not less than $10,000 and not more than $30,000 and with imprisonment for a term of not less than one month and not more than 12 months; or (ii) in any other case, be punished with a fine not less than S$20,000 and not more than $60,000.

COMPETITION We are engaged in a highly competitive and fragmented industry. Competition is generally based on the availability of a wide product range, timely delivery and price. We compete with a large number of fastener distributors on a regional and local basis, some of which may have greater financial resources than us. To a lesser extent, we also compete with fastener manufacturers who may sometimes sell directly to distributors with retail networks who are able, at times, to meet the manufacturers’ required minimum order quantities. However, these distributors would generally still rely on larger distributors to purchase their fastener requirements as they typically purchase a large variety of fastener products and do not normally order in large quantities. Some of our competitors in the fastener distribution business which are based in Singapore include T.E. Fasteners Pte. Ltd. and Sin Hong Hardware Pte Ltd. To the best of our Directors’ knowledge, none of our Directors or Substantial Shareholders or their respective Associates has any interest, direct or indirect, in any of our competitors listed above. Our Directors believe that new entrants to the industry will require significant capital resources to purchase a wide range of fastener inventory, invest in storage facilities and establish close relationships with suppliers and customers in order to compete effectively in this industry. To the best of our Directors’ knowledge, there are no known published statistics or official sources of information to establish our market share.

87

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS We believe that we have the following competitive strengths: Diverse range of products to satisfy customer requirements We offer an extensive product range in excess of 15,000 different types and sizes of fasteners that have diverse industrial applications and are able to supply them at any quantity for shipment to anywhere in the world at relatively short notice. Our products include screws, bolts, nuts, pins, anchors, rivets, washers and clips in a variety of materials as well as a variety of platings that can be used in, amongst others, infrastructure developments, structural fabrication and construction in civil works, transportation and manufacturing of heavy machinery, automotives and parts. We carry a ready inventory and have ready access to our suppliers to replenish our inventory. We are therefore able to satisfy our customers’ requirements for any mix, any quantity and anywhere across a broad spectrum of industries for delivery on a timely basis. Established relationships with our suppliers We have over the years established strong relationships with our suppliers. This has provided us with assurance of the continuity of our supplies including those of well established brands in the fastener industry such as YFS, THE, RECOIL and SFC, thereby enabling us to develop our customer network, respond promptly to our customers’ requirements and expand our geographical coverage with greater confidence. While we generally do not enter into long-term or exclusive contracts with our suppliers so as to provide us with greater flexibility in sourcing for our supplies, we have entered into distribution agreements with certain of our major suppliers and are the sole distributor for Fang Sheng’s YFS range of products in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Myanmar and the non-exclusive distributor for Tong Hwei’s THE products in Singapore. Further, in recognition of our long standing relationship with Fang Sheng, PS Fasteners was presented with an award in 2007 as Fang Sheng’s first export customer for its YFS range of products. Please refer to the sub-sections of “ General Information on Our Group ” entitled “ History ”, “ Major Suppliers ” and “ Distribution Agreements ” for more details of our strong relationships with our suppliers. Established relationships with our customers We are committed to supplying quality products and are dedicated to meeting our customers’ orders promptly. Over the years, we have established long-term relationships and have developed goodwill with many of our customers. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have a diversified customer base comprising approximately 200 customers in more than 45 countries. Our Directors believe that we have established a track record and reputation as a reliable supplier of fasteners. For each of the last three financial years ended 31 December 2012, a significant proportion of our customers comprised repeat customers. We believe that this incidence of repeat orders from our existing customers is a testimony of their support to us and the quality of our service to them. Scalable business model which is not dependent on any single end-use industry We have put in place an online IT infrastructure which we believe has helped to improve our operational efficiency. This has enabled us to reach out online to our existing and potential customers as well as provide them with the convenience of placing their orders with us from anywhere, at anytime, of any mix and for any quantity. It has also enabled us to automate certain areas of our operations such as order processing and inventory management, thereby translating 88

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
into a higher level of service and shorter lead times in response to our customers’ requests. With our IT infrastructure as our backbone, we believe that we have a scalable business model with which to drive our expansion plans. In addition, we believe that the extensive range of fastener products that we carry, which can cater to a broad spectrum of industrial applications, coupled with our diversified base of customers across countries, means that we are not dependent on any single end-use industry, which in turn enables us to ride through the different business and economic cycles of different industries and different countries. Experienced and committed management team Our Group is led by Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng, each of whom has more than 30 years of experience in the fastener industry and who are instrumental in setting the strategic direction of our Group and in developing and expanding our business. Our Executive Chairman, Teo Choon Hock, has primary oversight of the performance and strategic goals of our Group while our Managing Director, Kwek Keng Seng, is primarily responsible for the overall management of the business operations of our Group, with particular oversight of our sales and warehouse teams.

PROSPECTS AND TRENDS Fasteners have a wide spectrum of commercial and industrial applications used in, amongst others, manufacturing of automotives and parts, aircraft, appliances, machinery, construction and infrastructure. We believe that given the wide spectrum of commercial and industrial applications of fasteners, the fastener industry is not dependent on any single end-use industry, but is generally dependent on factors such as population growth, industrial development and general economic conditions. We expect that increasing fixed investments and a rise in the manufacturing bases in emerging economies such as Asia Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa will boost fastener demand compared to the more developed markets. As such, we have focused our marketing efforts on distributors with retail networks primarily in Southeast Asia, as well as in emerging markets such as South America. Our sales to customers in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore collectively accounted for approximately 70.3%, 67.7% and 68.0% of our revenue in FY2010, FY2011 and FY2012, respectively. Our Directors have made the following observations for the current financial year based on current trends to-date: (a) Subject to competitive and pricing pressures, we expect our revenue to generally follow the activity trend for the manufacture of durable goods, as well as in the construction and infrastructure industry. We expect our finance expenses to increase further due to the refinancing of our interest-free Directors’ loans of S$2.6 million, which were outstanding as at 31 December 2012, with commercial bank loans. We expect our administration expenses to increase as a result of the full year effect of the remuneration of new finance and administration staff who had joined us over the course of FY2012. Any difference in the net realisable value of our inventory and our carrying cost of inventory will impact our cost of sales.

(b)

(c)

(d)

89

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
(e) Any change in the price of raw materials could affect the cost of our purchases of fasteners and this could, in turn, impact our gross margins. A portion of our listing expenses incurred in connection with the Placement that will be treated as a charge in our financial statements as well as ongoing compliance costs as a listed company will affect our financial results in FY2013. Please refer to the section entitled “ Use of Proceeds and Listing Expenses ” of this Offer Document for more details of our listing expenses.

(f)

Arising from the above factors and especially (b), (c) and (f), we believe that our results of operations for FY2013 would be affected and, hence, investors ought to be aware that our past results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our current and future results of operations. Save as disclosed above and in the sections entitled “ Risk Factors ”, and “ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations ” of this Offer Document, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, our Directors believe that there are no other known recent trends in production, sales and inventory, and in the costs and selling prices of products and services, as well as any other known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on net sales or revenues, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause financial information disclosed in this Offer Document to be not necessarily indicative of our future operating results or financial condition. Please also refer to the section entitled “ Cautionary Note On ForwardLooking Statements ” of this Offer Document.

ORDER BOOK We have established a diverse pool of approximately 200 customers in more than 45 countries. Typically in our industry, our customers do not commit to definite and/or long-term purchase orders of their requirements for the various fastener products. We typically receive order enquiries from our customers through our internet website, facsimile or by email. Following receipt of the order enquiry, our sales and marketing team will send a sales quotation to the customer. Unless credit terms are extended to the customer, we will arrange for the delivery of the cargo to the customer upon payment of the invoice. Accordingly, given the nature of our business, the concept of an order book is not meaningful for us.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES AND FUTURE PLANS Our business strategies and future plans are as follows: To enhance our existing warehouse facilities and upgrade our inventory management system We plan to enhance our existing warehouse facilities through a reorganisation of our warehouse space and installation of new racks in line with our expansion plans. We also plan to upgrade our inventory management system and will consider either installing a new inventory management system or upgrading our existing inventory management system so as to enhance our ability to more efficiently track and manage an increased inventory and achieve a faster turnaround time in processing our customers’ orders.

90

GENERAL INFORMATION ON OUR GROUP
We intend to use approximately S$1.0 million of the net proceeds from the Placement for this purpose. To diversify our product range We have longstanding relationships with our customers and maintain frequent contact with them to better understand the market trends and their product demands and requirements. With this insight, we believe that we are in a better position to formulate appropriate strategies to expand our product range, thereby enabling us to meet our customers’ requirements of any mix of products and for any quantity for delivery on a timely basis. We believe that with a more comprehensive product range, we will be able to strengthen our position as a “Mix-And-Match Expert” for the supply of quality fasteners. The diversification of our product range will be funded by our working capital, which includes the net proceeds from the Placement allocated to our general working capital. To expand our business through acquisitions, joint ventures and/or strategic alliances We may also expand our business, whether in Singapore or overseas, through acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances that we believe will complement our current and future business. We believe that suitable acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances will give us access to new markets and customers as well as new businesses. As at the date of this Offer Document, we are not engaged in any discussion with any party for acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances. Should such opportunities arise, we will seek the requisite approval, where necessary, from our Shareholders and the relevant authorities as may be required by the relevant rules and regulations.

INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
GUIDELINES AND TRANSACTIONS REVIEW PROCEDURES FOR FUTURE INTERESTED PERSON

All future interested person transactions will be properly documented and submitted to our Audit Committee for periodic review to ensure that they are carried out on an arm’s length basis, on normal commercial terms, and will not be prejudicial to the interests of our minority Shareholders. In respect of all future interested person transactions, we will implement the following review procedures: (a) in relation to any purchase of products or procurement of services from interested persons, quotes from at least two unrelated third parties in respect of the same or substantially the same type of transactions will be used as comparison wherever possible. The Audit Committee will review the comparable factors, taking into account, inter alia , the suitability, quality, timeliness in delivery and cost of the product or service, and the experience and expertise of the supplier. Transactions with such interested persons shall not be on terms less favourable to our Group than those with unrelated third parties; in relation to any sale of products or provision of services to interested persons, the price and terms of two other completed transactions of the same or substantially the same type of transactions to unrelated third parties are to be used as comparison wherever possible. Transactions with such interested persons shall not be on terms less favourable to our Group than those with unrelated third parties; when renting from or to interested persons, our Audit Committee shall take appropriate steps to ensure that such rent is commensurate with the prevailing market rates, including adopting measures such as making relevant enquiries with landlords of properties of similar location and size, or obtaining necessary reports or reviews published by property agents (including an independent valuation report by a property valuer, where appropriate). The rent payable shall be based on the most competitive market rental rate of similar properties in terms of size and location, based on the results of the relevant enquiries; where it is not possible for appropriate information (for comparative purposes) to be obtained, the interested person transaction will be approved by our Audit Committee, who has no interest in the transaction, who will determine whether the price, fees and/or other terms offered by or to the interested persons are fair and reasonable, with consideration to whether the price, fees and/or other terms are in accordance with our usual business practices and policies. In determining the transaction price payable to the interested person for such products and/or services, our Audit Committee will determine whether the relevant transaction is undertaken at an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms, taking into account factors such as, but not limited to, suitability, quantity, quality, requirements and specifications; and any contracts to be made with an interested person shall not be approved unless the pricing is determined in accordance with our usual business practices and policies for the same or substantially similar type of transactions between us and unrelated parties on terms that are no more favourable than those extended to, or no less favourable than those received from other unrelated parties.

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
On 13 June 2013, our Shareholders approved a performance share plan known as the “PS Group Holdings Performance Share Plan” and a share option scheme known as the “PS Group Holdings Employee Share Option Scheme”, the rules of which are set out in Appendices E and F of this Offer Document, respectively. Both the PSP and the ESOS will provide eligible participants with an opportunity to participate in the equity of our Company and to motivate them towards better performance through increased dedication and loyalty. Both the PSP and ESOS form an integral and important component of our compensation plan and are designed primarily to reward and retain employees whose services are vital to the growth and performance of our Company and/or our Group. The PSP and ESOS are designed to complement each other in our Group’s efforts to reward, retain and motivate employees to achieve better performance. The aim of implementing more than one incentive plan is to increase our Group’s flexibility and effectiveness in its continuing efforts to reward, retain and motivate employees to achieve increased performance by providing our Group with a more comprehensive set of remuneration tools and further strengthen its competitiveness in attracting and retaining local and foreign talent. Unlike the ESOS whereby participants are required to pay the exercise price of the Options, the PSP allows our Group to provide an incentive for participants to achieve certain specific performance targets by awarding fully paid Shares to participants after these targets have been met. In addition, the assessment criteria for granting Option(s) under the ESOS are more general (e.g. based on length of service and general performance of our Group) and do not relate to specific performance targets imposed by our Group. In contrast, the assessment criteria for granting of Awards under the PSP will be based on specific performance targets or to impose time-based service conditions, or a combination of both.

PS GROUP HOLDINGS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN The PSP complies with the requirements as set out in Chapter 8, Part VIII of the Listing Manual. A summary of the rules of the PSP is set out below. Capitalised terms used throughout this section shall, unless otherwise defined in the section entitled “ Definitions ” of this Offer Document, bear the meanings as defined in Appendix E of this Offer Document. As at the date of this Offer Document, no Awards have been granted under the PSP. Objectives of the PSP The main objectives of the PSP are as follows: (a) to attract potential employees with relevant skills to contribute to our Group and to create value for Shareholders; to instil loyalty to, and a stronger identification by the Participants with the long-term prosperity of our Group; to motivate the Participants to optimise their performance standards and efficiency and to maintain a high level of contribution to our Group;

(b)

(c)

110

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
(d) (e) to align the interests of the Participants with the interests of the Shareholders; to give recognition to the contributions made by the Participants to the success of our Group; and to retain key employees of the Company whose contributions are essential to the long-term prosperity of the Group.

(f)

The rationale for adopting the PSP is to give our Company greater flexibility to align the interests of employees, especially our key personnel, with that of our Shareholders. It is also intended to reward, retain and motivate employees to achieve superior performance which creates and enhances economic value for our Shareholders. A performance target based Award may be granted. As the Shares will be issued free under the PSP, the Participants would receive the same benefit from an Award in respect of fewer Shares as they would receive if share options were granted instead in respect of a larger number of Shares. The PSP would therefore allow our Company to provide an incentive to employees while reducing the dilutive effect to Shareholders. The Awards given to a particular Participant will be determined at the discretion of the Committee, who will take into account factors such as the Participant’s capability, scope of responsibility, skill and vulnerability to leaving the employment of our Group. In deciding on an Award to be granted to a Participant, the Committee will also consider all aspects of the compensation and/or benefits given to the Participant and such other share-based incentive schemes of our Company, if any. The Committee may also set specific criteria and performance targets for each Participant, taking into account factors such as (a) our Company’s and our Group’s business goals and directions for each financial year; (b) the Participant’s actual job scope and responsibilities; and (c) the prevailing economic conditions. Summary of the PSP The following is a summary of the rules of the PSP which should be read in conjunction with the “ Rules of the PS Group Holdings Performance Share Plan ” set out in Appendix E of this Offer Document. 1. Eligibility The following persons shall be eligible to participate in the PSP: (a) Group Employees (including Group Executive Directors) who have attained the age of 21 years on or before the date of grant of the Award; and Non-Executive Directors (including independent Directors) who have attained the age of 21 years on or before the date of grant of the Award.

(b)

Controlling Shareholders and Associates of a Controlling Shareholder who meet the above eligibility criteria are also eligible to participate in the PSP provided that (a) the participation of; and (b) the terms of each grant and the actual number of Awards granted under the PSP to, a Participant who is a Controlling Shareholder or an Associate of a Controlling Shareholder shall be approved by our independent Shareholders in a general meeting in separate resolutions for each such person, and the basis for seeking such Shareholders’ approval will be included in the circular to Shareholders. 111

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
There shall be no restriction on the eligibility of any Participant to participate in any other share incentive schemes or share plans implemented or to be implemented by our Company or any other company within our Group. Subject to the Companies Act and any requirement of the SGX-ST, the terms of eligibility for participation in the PSP may be amended from time to time at the absolute discretion of the Committee. 2. Awards Awards represent the right of a Participant to receive fully paid Shares free of charge, upon the Participant achieving prescribed Performance Targets. The selection of the Participants and the number of Shares which are the subject of each Award to be granted to a Participant in accordance with the PSP shall be determined at the absolute discretion of the Committee, which shall take into account criteria such as, inter alia , the rank, scope of responsibilities, performance, years of service and potential for future development and contribution to the success of our Group. In the case of a performance-related Award, the Performance Targets will be set by the Committee depending on each individual Participant’s job scope and responsibilities. The Performance Targets to be set shall take into account both the medium and long-term corporate objectives of our Group and the individual performance of the Participant and will be aimed at sustaining long-term growth. The corporate objectives shall cover market competitiveness, business growth and productivity growth. The Performance Targets could be based on criteria such as sales growth, growth in earnings and return on investment. In addition, the Participant’s length of service with our Group, achievement of past performance targets, value-add to our Group’s performance and development and overall enhancement to Shareholder value, amongst others, will be taken into account. Awards may be granted at any time in the course of a financial year, provided that in the event that an announcement on any matter of an exceptional nature involving unpublished price sensitive information is imminent, Awards may only be vested and hence any Shares comprised in such Awards may only be delivered on or after the second Market Day from the date on which the aforesaid announcement is made. An Award letter confirming the Award will be sent to each Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is finalised, specifying, inter alia , in relation to the Award: (a) in relation to a performance-related Award, the Performance Targets and the performance period during which the prescribed Performance Targets are to be met; the number of Shares to be vested on the Participant; and the date by which the Award shall be vested.

(b) (c)

The Committee will take into account various factors when determining the method to arrive at the exact number of Shares comprised in an Award. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the current price of the Shares, the total issued share capital of our Company and the pre-determined dollar amount which the Committee decides that a Participant deserves for meeting his Performance Targets. For example, Shares may be awarded based on pre-determined dollar amounts such that the quantum of Shares comprised in Awards is 112

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
dependent on the closing price of Shares transacted on the Market Day the Award is vested. Alternatively, the Committee may decide absolute numbers of Shares to be awarded to Participants irrespective of the price of the Shares. The Committee shall monitor the grant of Awards carefully to ensure that the size of the PSP will comply with the relevant rules of the Listing Manual. 3. Size and duration of the PSP The total number of Shares which may be delivered pursuant to the vesting of Awards on any date, when added to the aggregate number of Shares issued and/or issuable in respect of (a) all Awards granted under the PSP; (b) all Options granted under the ESOS; and (c) all other Shares issued and/or issuable under any other share-based incentive schemes or share plans of the Company, shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company from time to time. The Directors believe that the size of the PSP will give our Company sufficient flexibility to decide the number of Shares to be offered under the PSP. However, it does not indicate that the Committee will definitely issue Shares up to the prescribed limit. The Committee will exercise its discretion in deciding the number of Shares to be granted to each Participant under the PSP. This, in turn, will depend on and commensurate with the performance and value of the Participant to our Group. The aggregate number of Shares that are available to the Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders under the PSP shall not exceed 25% of the total number of Shares available under the PSP. The number of Shares that are available to each Controlling Shareholder or Associate of our Controlling Shareholder under the PSP shall not exceed 10% of the Shares available under the PSP. The PSP shall continue in force at the discretion of the Committee, subject to a maximum period of 10 years commencing on the date on which the PSP is adopted by our Company in general meeting, Provided always that the PSP may continue beyond the above stipulated period with the approval of Shareholders by ordinary resolution in general meeting and of any relevant authorities which may then be required. Notwithstanding the expiry or termination of the PSP, any Awards made to Participants prior to such expiry or termination will continue to remain valid. 4. Operation of the PSP The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether Performance Targets have been met (whether fully or partially) or exceeded and/or whether the Participant’s performance and/or contribution to our Company and/or any of our subsidiaries justifies the vesting of an Award. In making any such determination, the Committee shall have the right to make reference to the audited results of our Company or our Group, as the case may be, to take into account such factors as the Committee may determine to be relevant, such as changes in accounting methods, taxes and extraordinary events, and further, the right to amend the Performance Targets if the Committee decides that a change in the Performance Targets would be a fairer measure of performance. Awards may only be vested and consequently any Shares comprised in such Awards shall only be delivered upon the Committee being satisfied that the Participant has achieved the Performance Targets. 113

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
Subject to the prevailing legislation and the provisions of the Listing Manual, our Company will be delivering Shares to Participants upon vesting of their Awards by way of an issue of new Shares or the transfer of existing Shares held as treasury shares to the Participants. In determining whether to issue new Shares or to purchase existing Shares for delivery to Participants upon the vesting of their Awards, our Company will take into account factors such as the number of Shares to be delivered, the prevailing market price of the Shares and the financial effect on our Company of either issuing new Shares or purchasing existing Shares. New Shares allotted and issued on the release of an Award shall rank in full for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of the then existing Shares, the record date for which is on or after the date of issue of the new Shares or the date of transfer of treasury shares pursuant to the vesting of the Award, and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing Shares then in issue. 5. Adjustments and alterations under the PSP (a) Variation of Capital If a variation in the issued ordinary share capital of our Company (whether by way of a capitalisation of profits or reserves or rights issue, capital reduction, subdivision, consolidation, distribution or otherwise) shall take place, then: (i) the class and/or number of Shares which are the subject of an Award to the extent not yet vested; and/or the class and/or number of Shares over which future Awards may be granted under the PSP,

(ii)

shall be adjusted by the Committee to give each Participant the same proportion of the equity capital of our Company as that to which he was previously entitled and, in doing so, the Committee shall determine at its own discretion the manner in which such adjustment shall be made. Unless the Committee considers an adjustment to be appropriate, the following events shall not normally be regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment: (i) the issue of securities as consideration for an acquisition or a private placement of securities; the cancellation of issued Shares purchased or acquired by our Company by way of a market purchase of such Shares undertaken by our Company on Catalist during the period when a share purchase mandate granted by Shareholders (including any renewal of such mandate) is in force;

(ii)

(iii) the issue of Shares or other securities convertible into or with rights to acquire or subscribe for Shares to its employees pursuant to any share option scheme or share plan approved by Shareholders in general meeting, including the PSP; and (iv) any issue of Shares arising from the exercise of any warrants or the conversion of any convertible securities issued by our Company.

114

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
Notwithstanding the provisions of the rules of the PSP: (i) the adjustment must be made in such a way that a Participant will not receive a benefit that a Shareholder does not receive; and any adjustment (except in relation to a capitalisation issue) must be confirmed in writing by the Auditors (acting only as experts and not as arbitrators) to be in their opinion, fair and reasonable.

(ii)

(b)

Modifications to the PSP Any or all the provisions of the PSP may be modified and/or altered at any time and from time to time by resolution of the Committee, provided that: (i) any modification or alteration which would be to the advantage of Participants under the PSP shall be subject to the prior approval of Shareholders in a general meeting; and no modification or alteration shall be made without due compliance with the Listing Manual and such other laws or regulations as may be applicable.

(ii)

6.

Reporting requirements Under the Listing Manual, an immediate announcement must be made on the date of grant of an Award and provide details of the grant, including the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) date of grant; market price of the Shares on the date of grant of the Award; number of Shares granted under the Award; number of Shares granted to each Director and Controlling Shareholder (and each of their Associates) under the Award, if any; and the vesting period in relation to the Award.

(e)

The following disclosures (as applicable) will be made by our Company in our annual report for so long as the PSP continues in operation: (a) (b) the names of the members of the Committee administering the PSP; in respect of the following Participants: (i) (ii) Directors of our Company; Participants who are Controlling Shareholders and their Associates; and

(iii) Participants (other than those in paragraph (b)(i) above) who have received Shares pursuant to the vesting of Awards granted under the PSP which, in aggregate, represent 5% or more of the total number of Shares available under the PSP, 115

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
the following information: (aa) the name of the Participant; (bb) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards which have been granted to such Participant during the financial year under review; (cc) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards which have been granted to such Participant since the commencement of the PSP to the end of the financial year under review; (dd) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards which have been issued and/or transferred to such Participant pursuant to the vesting of Awards under the PSP since the commencement of the PSP to the end of the financial year under review; and (ee) the aggregate number of Shares comprised in Awards which have not been vested as at the end of the financial year under review; and (c) 7. such other information as may be required by the Listing Manual or the Companies Act.

Role and composition of the Committee The Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the PSP and shall consist of Directors. As at the date of this Offer Document, the Committee comprises Ang Miah Khiang, Tan Jee Ming and Tan Chin Keong. The Committee shall have the power, from time to time, to make and vary such rules (not being inconsistent with the PSP) for the implementation and administration of the PSP as they think fit including, but not limited to: (a) (b) imposing restrictions on the number of Awards that may be vested within each financial year; and amending Performance Targets if by so doing, it would be a fairer measure of performance for a Participant or for the PSP as a whole.

In compliance with the requirements of the Listing Manual, any Participant of the PSP who is a member of the Committee shall not be involved in its deliberations in respect of Awards to be granted to or held by him or his Associate. 8. Abstention from voting Participants who are also Shareholders and are eligible to participate in this Plan must abstain from voting on any resolution relating to the participation of, or grant of Awards to the Participants. Financial effects of the PSP 1. Cost of Awards Entities shall apply Singapore Financial Reporting Standard 102 (“ FRS 102 ”) for all share-based payment transactions. Participants will receive Shares and the Awards would be accounted for as equity-settled share-based transactions, as described in the following paragraphs.

116

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
The fair value of employee services received in exchange for the grant of the Awards will be recognised as a charge to profit or loss over the period between the grant date and the vesting date of an Award. The total amount of the charge over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of each Award granted at the grant date and the number of Shares vested at the vesting date, with a corresponding credit to reserve account. Before the end of the vesting period, at each accounting year end, the estimate of the number of Awards that are expected to vest by the vesting date is subject to revision, and the impact of the revised estimate will be recognised in profit or loss with a corresponding adjustment to the reserve account. After the vesting date, no adjustment to the charge to profit or loss is made. The amount charged to profit or loss would be the same whether our Company settles the Awards by issuing new Shares or by purchasing existing Shares. The amount of the charge to profit or loss also depends on whether or not the Performance Target attached to an Award is measured by reference to the market price of the Shares. This is known as a market condition. If the Performance Target is a market condition, the probability of the Performance Target being met is taken into account in estimating the fair value of the Award granted at the grant date, and no adjustments to amounts charged to profit or loss are made if the market condition is not met. However, if the Performance Target is not a market condition, the fair value per Share of the Awards granted at the grant date is used to compute the amount to be charged to profit or loss at each accounting date, based on an assessment at that date of whether the non-market conditions would be met to enable the Awards to vest. Thus, where the vesting conditions do not include a market condition, there would be no charge to profit or loss if the Awards do not ultimately vest. 2. Share capital The PSP will result in an increase in our Company’s issued share capital where new Shares are issued to Participants. The number of new Shares issued will depend on, among others, the size of the Awards granted under the PSP. In any case, the PSP provides that the total number of Shares which may be delivered pursuant to the vesting of Awards on any date, when added to the aggregate number of Shares issued and/or issuable in respect of (a) all Awards granted under the PSP; (b) all Options granted under the ESOS; and (c) all other Shares issued and/or issuable under any other share-based incentive schemes or share plans of the Company, shall not exceed 15% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company from time to time. If instead of issuing new Shares to the Participants, treasury shares are transferred to Participants or our Company pays the equivalent cash value, the PSP would have no impact on our Company’s total number of issued Shares. 3. NTA The PSP will result in a charge to our Company’s profit or loss over the period from the grant date to the vesting date of the Awards. The amount of the charge will be computed in accordance with FRS 102. When new Shares are issued under the PSP, there would be no effect on the NTA. However, instead of issuing new Shares to Participants, existing Shares are purchased for delivery to Participants, or our Company pays the equivalent cash value, the NTA would be impacted by the cost of the Shares purchased or the cash payment, respectively. 4. EPS The PSP will result in a charge to earnings equivalent over the period from the grant date to the vesting date, computed in accordance with FRS 102. 117

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
It should again be noted that the delivery of Shares to Participants of the PSP will generally be contingent upon the Participants meeting the prescribed Performance Targets and conditions.

PS GROUP HOLDINGS EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME The ESOS complies with the requirements as set out in Chapter 8, Part VIII of the Listing Manual. Capitalised terms used throughout this section shall, unless otherwise defined in the section entitled “ Definitions ” of this Offer Document, bear the meanings as defined in Appendix F of this Offer Document. As at the date of this Offer Document, no Options have been granted under the ESOS. Objectives of the ESOS The objectives of the ESOS are as follows: (a) to motivate Participants to optimise their performance standards and efficiency and to maintain a high level of contribution to our Group; to retain key employees and Directors whose contributions are essential to the long-term growth and profitability of our Group; to instil loyalty to, and a stronger identification by Participants with the long-term prosperity of, our Group; to attract potential employees with relevant skills to contribute to our Group and to create value for our Shareholders; and to align the interests of Participants with the interests of our Shareholders.

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

The ESOS will provide eligible Participants with an opportunity to participate in the equity of our Company and to motivate them towards better performance through increased dedication and loyalty. The ESOS, which forms an integral and important component of our employee compensation plan, is designed to primarily reward and retain Directors and employees whose services are vital to our well-being and success. This would enable our Company to give recognition to past contributions and services as well as motivate Participants generally to contribute towards the long-term growth of our Group. Summary of the ESOS The following is a summary of the rules of the ESOS which should be read in conjunction with the “ Rules of the PS Group Holdings Employee Share Option Scheme ” set out in Appendix F of this Offer Document. 1. Participants Confirmed full time employees of our Group, Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors (including Independent Directors) who have attained the age of 21 years on or prior to the relevant Offer Date and are not undischarged bankrupts and have not entered into a composition with their respective creditors, shall be eligible to participate in the ESOS at the absolute discretion of the Committee.

118

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
Confirmed full time employees of our Group, Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors who are also Controlling Shareholders or Associates of a Controlling Shareholder are also eligible to participate in the ESOS provided that (a) the participation of, and (b) the terms of any Options to be granted and the actual number of Shares to be granted under the ESOS, to a Participant who is a Controlling Shareholder or an Associate of a Controlling Shareholder shall be approved by the independent Shareholders in separate resolutions for each such person. 2. Administration The ESOS shall be administered by the Committee with powers to determine, inter alia , the following: (a) (b) (c) persons to be granted Options; number of Options to be granted; and recommendations for modifications to the ESOS.

As at the date of this Offer Document, the Committee comprises Ang Miah Khiang, Tan Jee Ming and Tan Chin Keong. The Committee will consist of Directors (including Directors or persons who may be Participants). A member of the Committee who is also a Participant must not be involved in any deliberation or decision in respect of Options granted or to be granted to him. 3. Size of the ESOS The total number of Shares over which the Remuneration Committee may grant Options on any date, when added to the number of Shares issued and issuable in respect of (a) all Options granted under the ESOS; and (b) all Awards granted under the PSP; and (c) all outstanding options or awards granted under such other share-based incentive schemes of the Company, shall not exceed 15% of the number of issued Shares (including treasury shares, as defined in the Companies Act) on the day immediately preceding the Offer Date of the Option. Our Directors believe that this limit gives us sufficient flexibility to decide upon the number of Option Shares to offer to our existing and new employees. The number of eligible participants is expected to grow over the years. Our Company, in line with its goal of ensuring sustainable growth, is constantly reviewing its position and considering the expansion of its talent pool which may involve employing new employees. The employee base, and thus the number of eligible participants will increase as a result. If the number of Options available under the ESOS is limited, our Company may only be able to grant a small number of Options to each eligible participant which may not be a sufficiently attractive incentive. Our Company is of the opinion that it should have sufficient number of Options to offer to new employees as well as to existing ones. The number of Options offered must also be significant to serve as a meaningful reward for contributions to our Group. However, it does not necessarily mean that the Committee will definitely issue Option Shares up to the prescribed limit. The Committee shall exercise its discretion in deciding the number of Option Shares to be granted to each employee which will depend on the performance and value of the employee to our Group.

119

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
4. Maximum entitlements The aggregate number of Shares comprised in any Option to be offered to a Participant under the ESOS shall be determined at the absolute discretion of the Committee, which shall take into account (where applicable) criteria such as rank, past performance, years of service, potential for future development of that Participant. The aggregate number of Shares in respect of which Options may be granted to the Controlling Shareholders or Associates of the Controlling Shareholders under the ESOS shall not exceed 25% of the total number of Shares available under the ESOS. The aggregate number of Shares in respect of which Options may be granted to any individual Controlling Shareholders or Associate of a Controlling Shareholder under the ESOS shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares available under the ESOS. 5. Options, exercise period and exercise price The Options that are granted under the ESOS may have exercise prices that are, at the Committee’s discretion, set at a price (the “ Market Price ”) equal to the average of the last dealt prices for the Shares on the Official List of Catalist for the five consecutive Market Days immediately preceding the relevant date of grant of the relevant Option; or at a discount to the Market Price (subject to a maximum discount of 20%). Options which are fixed at the Market Price (“ Market Price Option ”) may be exercised after the first anniversary of the date of grant of that Option while Options exercisable at a discount to the Market Price (“ Discounted Option ”) may only be exercised after the second anniversary from the date of grant of the Option. Options granted under the ESOS will expire upon the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of that Option. 6. Grant of Options Under the rules of the ESOS, there are no fixed periods for the grant of Options. As such, offers for the grant of Options may be made at any time at the discretion of the Committee. However, no Option shall be granted during the period of 30 days immediately preceding the date of announcement of our Company’s interim or final results (as the case may be). In addition, in the event that an announcement on any matter of an exceptional nature involving unpublished price sensitive information is imminent, offers may only be made after the second Market Day from the date on which the aforesaid announcement is made. 7. Termination of Options Special provisions in the rules of the ESOS deal with the lapse or earlier exercise of Options in circumstances which include the termination of the Participant’s employment in our Group, the bankruptcy of the Participant, the death of the Participant, a take-over of our Company and the winding-up of our Company. 8. Acceptance of Options The grant of Options shall be accepted within 30 days from the date of offer. Offers of Options made to Grantees, if not accepted by the closing date, will lapse. Upon acceptance of the offer, the Grantee must pay our Company a consideration of S$1.00.

9. Rights of Shares arising from the exercise of Options Shares arising from the exercise of Options are subject to the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of our Company. The Shares so allotted will upon issue rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing issued Shares, save for any dividend, rights, allotments or distributions, the record date for which is prior to the relevant exercise date of the Option. For such purposes, “record date” means the date as at the close of business on which our Shareholders must be registered in order to participate in any dividends, rights, allotments or other distributions (as the case may be). 10. Duration of the ESOS The ESOS shall continue in operation for a maximum duration of 10 years commencing on the date on which the ESOS is adopted by our Company in general meeting and may be continued for any further period thereafter with the approval of our Shareholders by ordinary resolution in general meeting and of any relevant authorities which may then be required. 11. Abstention from voting Shareholders who are eligible to participate in the ESOS are to abstain from voting on any resolution of Shareholders relating to the ESOS. Grant of Discounted Options Discounted Options will only be granted to deserving employees whose performance has been consistently good and/or whose future contributions to our Group will be invaluable. The ability to offer Discounted Options will operate as a means to recognise the performance of Participants as well as to motivate them to continue to excel while encouraging them to focus on improving the profitability and return of our Group to a level that benefits our Shareholders when these are eventually reflected through an appreciation of our Share price. Discounted Options would be perceived in a more positive light by the Participants, inspiring them to work hard and produce results in order to be offered Discounted Options as only employees who have made significant contributions to the success and development of our Group would be granted Discounted Options. The flexibility to grant Discounted Options is also intended to cater to situations where the stock market performance has overrun the general market conditions. In such events, the Committee will have absolute discretion to: (a) grant Options set at a discount to the Market Price of a Share (subject to a maximum limit of 20%); and determine the Participants to whom, and the Options to which, such reduction in exercise prices will apply.

(b)

In determining whether to give a discount and the quantum of the discount, the Committee shall be at liberty to take into consideration factors including the performance of our Company, our Group, the performance of the participant concerned, the contribution of the Participant to the success and development of our Group and the prevailing market conditions. At present, our Company foresees that Discounted Options may be granted principally in the following circumstances: (a) firstly, where it is considered more effective to reward and retain talented employees by way of a Discounted Option rather than a Market Price Option. This is to reward the outstanding 121

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
performers who have contributed significantly to our Group’s performance and the Discounted Option serves as additional incentives to such Group employees. Options granted by our Company on the basis of Market Price may not be attractive and realistic in the event of an overly buoyant market and inflated share prices. Hence, during such a period, the ability to offer Discounted Options would allow our Company to grant Options on a more realistic and economically feasible basis. Furthermore, Discounted Options will give an opportunity to our Group employees to realise some tangible benefits even if external events cause the Share price to remain largely static; and (b) secondly, where it is more meaningful and attractive to acknowledge a Participant’s achievements through a Discounted Option rather than paying him a cash bonus. For example, Discounted Options may be used to compensate employees and to motivate them during economic downturns when wages (including cash bonuses and annual wage supplements) are frozen or cut, or they could be used to supplement cash rewards in lieu of larger cash bonuses or annual wage supplements. Accordingly, it is possible that meritbased cash bonuses or rewards may be combined with grants of Market Price Options or Discounted Options, as part of eligible employees’ compensation packages. The ESOS will provide our Group employees with an incentive to focus more on improving the profitability of our Group thereby enhancing Shareholder value when these are eventually reflected through the price appreciation of our Shares after the vesting period.

The Committee will have the absolute discretion to grant Discounted Options, to determine the level of discount (subject to a maximum discount of 20% of the Market Price) and the Grantees to whom, and the Options to which, such discount in the exercise price will apply provided that our Shareholders in general meeting shall have authorised, in a separate resolution, the making of offers and grants of Options under the ESOS at a discount not exceeding the maximum discount as aforesaid. Such Discounted Options may only be exercisable after two years from the date of grant. Our Company may also grant Options without any discount to the Market Price. Additionally, our Company may, if it deems fit, impose conditions on the exercise of the Options (whether such Options are granted at the Market Price or at a discount to the Market Price), such as restricting the number of Shares for which the Option may be exercised during the initial years following its vesting. Financial effects of the ESOS Any Options granted under the ESOS would have a fair value. Where such options are granted at a consideration below their fair value, there will be a cost to our Company, the amount of which will depend on whether the Options are granted at the Market Price or at a discount to the Market Price. The cost to our Company of granting Options under the ESOS would be as follows: (a) the exercise of an Option at a discounted exercise price would translate into a reduction of the proceeds from the exercise of such options, as compared to the proceeds that our Company would have received from such exercise had the exercise been made at the prevailing Market Price of our Shares. Such reduction of the exercise proceeds would represent the monetary cost to our Company of granting Options with a discounted exercise price; as the monetary cost of granting Options with a discounted exercise price is borne by our Company, the earnings of our Company would effectively be reduced by an amount corresponding to the reduced interest earnings that our Company would have received from

(b)

122

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
the difference in proceeds from an exercise price with no discount versus the discounted exercise price. Such reduction would, accordingly, result in the dilution of our Company’s EPS; (c) the effect of the issue and allotment of new Shares upon the exercise of Options on our Company’s NAV per Share is accretive if the exercise price is above the NAV per Share, but dilutive otherwise; and the grant of Options under the ESOS will have an impact on our Company’s reported profit because under FRS 102, share-based payments require the recognition of an expense in respect of Options granted under the ESOS. The expense will be based on the fair value of the Options at the date of grant and will be recognised over the vesting period.

(d)

The financial effects discussed above in (a), (b) and (c) would only materialise upon the exercise of the relevant Options. The cost of granting Options discussed in (d) above would be recognised in the financial statements even if the Options discussed in (d) above are not exercised. Share options have value because the option to buy a company’s share for a fixed price during an extended future time period is a valuable right, even if there are restrictions attached to such an option. As our Company is required to account for share-based awards granted to our employees, the cost of granting Options will affect our financial results as this cost to our Company would be required to be charged to our Company’s profit or loss commencing from the time Options are granted. Subject as aforesaid, as and when Options are exercised, the cash inflow will add to the net tangible assets of our Company and its share capital base will grow. Where Options are granted with subscription prices that are set at a discount to the Market Prices for our Shares prevailing at the time of the grant of such Options, the amount of the cash inflow to our Company on the exercise of such Options would be diminished by the quantum of the discount given, as compared with the cash inflow that would have been receivable by our Company had the Options been granted at the Market Price of our Shares prevailing at the time of the grant. The grant of Options will have an impact on our Company’s reported profit under the accounting rules in FRS 102. The cost to our Company in granting an Option would vary depending on the number of Options granted pursuant to the ESOS, whether these Options are granted at Market Price or at a discount to the Market Price and the validity period of the Options. Generally, a greater discount and a longer validity period for an Option will result in a higher potential cost to our Company.

RATIONALE FOR PARTICIPATION BY THE CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS AND ASSOCIATES OF OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS IN THE PSP AND THE ESOS Our Company acknowledges that the services and contributions of employees who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders are important to the development and success of our Group. The extension of the PSP and the ESOS to confirmed full-time employees who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders allows our Group to have a fair and equitable system to reward employees who have actively contributed to the progress and success of our Group. The participation of our Controlling Shareholders or the Associates of the Controlling Shareholders in the PSP and the ESOS will serve both as a reward to them for their dedicated services to our Group and a motivation for them to take a long-term view of our Group.

123

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
Although participants who are Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders may already have shareholding interests in our Company, the extension of the PSP and the ESOS to include them ensures that they are equally entitled, with the other employees of our Group who are not Controlling Shareholders or Associates of our Controlling Shareholders, to take part and benefit from this system of remuneration. We are of the view that a person who would otherwise be eligible should not be excluded from participating in the PSP and the ESOS solely by reason that he/she is a Controlling Shareholder or an Associate of our Controlling Shareholder(s). The specific approval of our independent Shareholders is required for the proposed participation of any Controlling Shareholder and/or their Associates in the PSP and the ESOS as well as any specific grant thereunder to such persons. Separate resolutions must be passed for each such person and, in the case of a grant, the resolution must state the actual number of Shares comprised in the specific grant and its applicable terms, as well as the Company’s rationale for such proposal. On the foregoing basis, we are of the view that there are sufficient safeguards against abuse resulting from the participation of the Controlling Shareholders and/or their Associates in the PSP and the ESOS. It is proposed that Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng, both of whom are Controlling Shareholders, and Teo Yong Tat, who is an Associate of Teo Choon Hock, and all of whom are also employees of our Group, be entitled to participate in the PSP and the ESOS. The shareholding interests of Teo Choon Hock and Kwek Keng Seng in the issued share capital of our Company as at the Latest Practicable Date are disclosed in the section entitled “ Shareholders ” of this Offer Document. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Teo Yong Tat does not hold any Shares. Rationale for participation of Teo Choon Hock Teo Choon Hock is the Executive Chairman of our Company and oversees our performance and establishes the strategic goals and direction of our Group. He also formulates our Group’s policies in relation to quality control, purchasing, marketing and finance. Teo Choon Hock is one of the founding members of PS Fasteners and has been with our Group for more than 20 years. As our Executive Chairman, Teo Choon Hock plays a pivotal role in providing strategic leadership, business and management direction, business networks and market contacts to our Group. Our Directors believe that the potential contribution that may be made by Teo Choon Hock to our Group’s future development will be substantial. Our Directors are of the view that including Teo Choon Hock in the PSP and the ESOS will give due recognition for his services and contributions to the growth and development of our Group. The extension of the PSP and the ESOS to Teo Choon Hock is consistent with our Company’s objectives to motivate our employees to achieve and maintain a high level of performance and contribution which is vital to the success of the Company. Although Teo Choon Hock already has a shareholding interest in the Company, the extension of the PSP and the ESOS to him will ensure that he is equally entitled, with the other employees who are not Controlling Shareholders, to take part in and benefit from this system of remuneration, thereby enhancing his long-term commitment to our Company.

124

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
Rationale for participation of Kwek Keng Seng Kwek Keng Seng is our Managing Director, and he assists our Executive Chairman with the overall management of our Group’s business operations. Kwek Keng Seng manages our day-to-day operations in the areas of sales and warehouse operations, formulating the sales strategies and setting sales targets for our Group as well as overseeing the storage and logistics management of our products. Kwek Keng Seng is one of the founding members of PS Fasteners and has been with our Group for more than 20 years. As our Managing Director, he oversees the overall management of our Group, and with his wealth of experience and industry contacts, he has also been instrumental in the Group’s expansion. Kwek Keng Seng’s expertise and contribution to our Group has been invaluable since inception and his continuing contribution is an important factor for the further growth and success of our Group. Our Directors are of the view that including Kwek Keng Seng in the PSP and the ESOS will give due recognition for his services and contributions to the growth and development of our Group. The extension of the PSP and the ESOS to Kwek Keng Seng is consistent with our Company’s objectives to motivate our employees to achieve and maintain a high level of performance and contribution which is vital to the success of our Group. Although Kwek Keng Seng already has a shareholding interest in the Company, the extension of the PSP and the ESOS to him will ensure that he is equally entitled, with the other employees who are not Controlling Shareholders, to take part in and benefit from this system of remuneration, thereby enhancing his long-term commitment to our Company. Rationale for participation of Teo Yong Tat Teo Yong Tat is our Business Development Manager. He is responsible for establishing and/or maintaining relationships with our customers and suppliers, developing business opportunities in existing and potential markets as well as reviewing quotations for and confirming orders with customers. Teo Yong Tat has been with our Group since 2011 and has played an important role in improving our Group’s IT infrastructure which enabled us to have a faster turnaround time in processing our customers’ orders. He continues to provide invaluable support to our Company to assist in overseeing our sales operations and expansion plans. Our Directors consider it crucial to provide incentives which will instill in employees a sense of commitment to our Company. Although Teo Yong Tat is the son of Teo Choon Hock, he does not have any beneficial interest in the shareholding interests of Teo Choon Hock nor does he have any direct shareholding interest in the Company. The extension of the PSP and the ESOS to him will ensure that he is equally entitled, with other employees who are not Controlling Shareholders or Associates of Controlling Shareholders, to take part in and benefit from this system of remuneration, thereby enhancing his long-term commitment to our Company. Acknowledgement and approval by subscribers of Placement Shares The participation in the PSP and the ESOS by Teo Choon Hock, Kwek Keng Seng and Teo Yong Tat will take place only after the listing of our Company on Catalist. By subscribing for the Placement Shares, investors shall be deemed to have acknowledged and approved the participation by each of Teo Choon Hock, Kwek Keng Seng and Teo Yong Tat in each of the PSP and the ESOS. Nonetheless, under the Listing Manual, the specific grant of Awards or Options to

125

EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES
each of Teo Choon Hock, Kwek Keng Seng and Teo Yong Tat and any other Controlling Shareholders or their Associates will have to be approved in separate resolutions by independent Shareholders in general meeting.

RATIONALE FOR PARTICIPATION BY OUR NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS (INCLUDING INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS) IN THE PSP AND THE ESOS While the PSP and the ESOS cater principally to Group Employees, it is recognised that there are other persons who make significant contributions to our Group through their close working relationships with our Group, even though they are not employed within our Group. Such persons include the Non-Executive Directors (including Independent Directors). The Non-Executive Directors are persons from different professions and working backgrounds, bringing to our Group their wealth of knowledge, business expertise and contacts in the business community. They play an important role in helping our Group shape its business strategy by allowing our Group to draw on their diverse backgrounds and working experience. Although our Non-Executive Directors are not involved in the day-to-day running of our operations, they play an invaluable role in furthering the business interests of our Group by contributing their experience and expertise. It is crucial for our Group to attract, retain and incentivise the Non-Executive Directors. By aligning the interests of the Non-Executive Directors with the interests of Shareholders, our Company aims to inculcate a sense of commitment on the part of the Non-Executive Directors towards serving the short and long-term objectives of our Group. The participation by Non-Executive Directors in the PSP and the ESOS will provide our Company with a further avenue to acknowledge and recognise their services and contributions to our Group as it may not always be possible to compensate them fully or appropriately by increasing the directors’ fees or other forms of cash payment. For instance, the Non-Executive Directors may bring strategic or other value to our Company which may be difficult to quantify in monetary terms. The grant of Awards and/or Options to Non-Executive Directors will allow our Company to attract and retain experienced and qualified persons from different professional backgrounds to join our Company as Non-Executive Directors, and to motivate existing Non-Executive Directors to take extra efforts to promote the interests of our Company and/or our Group. However, as their services and contributions cannot be measured in the same way as the full-time employees of our Group, for the purpose of assessing the contributions of the Non-Executive Directors, the Committee will propose a performance framework comprising mainly non-financial performance measurement criteria, such as the extent of involvement and responsibilities shouldered by the relevant Non-Executive Director, taking into consideration, inter alia , his performance and contributions to the success and development of our Group, his committee memberships in our Group, as well as his contribution, which includes contribution of his experience in the areas of overall business strategies, risk management and investment decisions. In order to minimise any potential conflict of interests and to not compromise the independence of the Non-Executive Directors, we intend to grant only a nominal number of Awards and/or Options to such Non-Executive Directors. The Committee may also decide that no Awards/Options shall be made in any financial year or no Award/Option may be granted at all.

EXCHANGE CONTROLS
There are no exchange control restrictions in Singapore on the repatriation of capital and the remittance of profit into or out of Singapore by or to our Group companies in Singapore.

127

CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT
Upon listing and quotation on Catalist, our Shares will be traded under the book-entry settlement system of CDP, and all dealings in and transactions of our Shares through Catalist will be effected in accordance with the terms and conditions for the operation of Securities Accounts with CDP, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. Our Shares will be registered in the name of CDP or its nominee and held by CDP for and on behalf of persons who maintain, either directly or through Depository Agents, Securities Accounts with CDP. Persons named as direct Securities Account holders and Depository Agents in the Depository Register maintained by CDP, rather than CDP itself, will be treated, under our Articles of Association and the Companies Act, as members of our Company in respect of the number of Shares credited to their respective Securities Accounts. Persons holding our Shares in Securities Accounts with CDP may withdraw the number of Shares they own from the book-entry settlement system in the form of physical share certificates. Such share certificates will, however, not be valid for delivery pursuant to trades transacted on Catalist, although they will be prima facie evidence of title and may be transferred in accordance with our Articles. A fee of S$10 for each withdrawal of 1,000 Shares or less and a fee of S$25 for each withdrawal of more than 1,000 Shares is payable upon withdrawing our Shares from the book-entry settlement system and obtaining physical share certificates. In addition, a fee of S$2 or such other amount as our Directors may decide, is payable to the share registrar for each share certificate issued, and a stamp duty of S$0.20 per S$100 or part thereof of the last transacted price is payable where it is withdrawn in the name of a third party. Persons holding physical share certificates who wish to trade on Catalist must deposit with CDP their share certificates together with the duly executed and stamped instruments of transfer in favour of CDP, and have their respective Securities Accounts credited with the number of Shares deposited before they can effect the desired trades. A fee of S$10 is payable upon the deposit of each instrument of transfer with CDP. The above fees may be subject to such charges as may be in accordance with CDP’s prevailing policies or the current tax policies that may be in force in Singapore from time to time. Transactions in our Shares under the book-entry settlement system will be reflected by the seller’s Securities Account being debited with the number of Shares sold and the buyer’s Securities Account being credited with the number of Shares acquired. No transfer of stamp duty is currently payable for our Shares that are settled on a book-entry basis. A Singapore clearing fee for trades in our Shares on Catalist is payable at the rate of 0.04% of the transaction value subject to a maximum of S$600 per transaction. The clearing fee, instrument of transfer deposit fee and share withdrawal fee may be subject to GST at the prevailing rate of 7.0% (or such other rate prevailing from time to time). Dealings of our Shares will be carried out in Singapore dollars and will be effected for settlement on CDP on a scripless basis. Settlement of trades on a normal “ready” basis on Catalist generally takes place on the third Market Day following the transaction date, and payment for the securities is generally settled on the following business day. CDP holds securities on behalf of investors in Securities Accounts. An investor may open a direct account with CDP or a sub-account with a CDP Depository Agent. The CDP Depository Agent may be a member company of the SGX-ST, bank, merchant bank or trust company.

REPORT FROM THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS IN RELATION TO THE AUDITED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010, 2011 AND 2012 3 July 2013 The Board of Directors PS Group Holdings Ltd. 3 Kaki Bukit Road 2 #01-06 Eunos Warehouse Complex Singapore 417837 Independent Auditor’s Report on the Combined Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of PS Group Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Group”) set out on pages A-6 to A-46, which comprise the combined balance sheets of the Group as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, and the combined statements of comprehensive income, combined statements of changes in equity and combined statements of cash flows of the Group for the financial years then, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of combined financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair profit and loss accounts and balance sheets and to maintain accountability of assets. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010, 2011 AND 2012 2. 2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) Functional and foreign currency The Group’s combined financial statements are presented in Singapore Dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the combined financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiary and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates approximating those ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the end of the reporting period are recognised in profit or loss. 2.5 Basis of consolidation The combined financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary as at the end of the reporting period. The financial statements of the subsidiary used in the preparation of the combined financial statements are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. Consistent accounting policies are applied to like transactions and events in similar circumstances. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. The substance is that the Group is a continuation of PS Fastener Pte. Ltd.. The combined financial statements of the Group for the financial years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 have been presented as if the Group had been in existence for all periods presented and the assets and liabilities are brought into the combined financial statements at their existing carrying amounts. The retained earnings recognised in the combined financial statements are the retained earnings of PS Fastener Pte. Ltd.. 2.6 Subsidiary A subsidiary is an entity over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010, 2011 AND 2012 2. 2.7 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) Property, plant and equipment All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment and are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment and borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying property, plant and equipment. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Leasehold properties Leasehold improvements Motor vehicles Tools and equipment Office equipment Furniture and fittings Computers – – – – – – – 41 years 5 to 10 years 5 to 10 years 5 to 10 years 5 to 10 years 5 to 10 years 1 to 3 years

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on de-recognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

If any indication exists, or when an annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash-generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. 2.9 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition are accounted for using the weighted average cost formula. Where necessary, allowance is provided for damaged, obsolete and slow moving items to adjust the carrying value of inventories to the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2.10 Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent measurement Loans and receivables Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. Trade and other receivables, and cash and cash equivalents are classified as loans and receivables. De-recognition A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss. Regular way purchase or sale of a financial asset All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.

PS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010, 2011 AND 2012 2. 2.11 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) Impairment of financial assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. (a) Financial assets carried at amortised cost For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. When the asset becomes uncollectible, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is reduced directly or if an amount was charged to the allowance account, the amounts charged to the allowance account are written off against the carrying value of the financial asset. To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

AND ITS SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010, 2011 AND 2012 2. 2.11 Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d) Impairment of financial assets (cont’d) (b) Financial assets carried at cost If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the business environment where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the issuer) that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods. 2.12 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, and demand deposits that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 2.13 Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 2.14 Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are recognised when, and only when, the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Group determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

2.14 Financial liabilities (cont’d) Subsequent measurement Other financial liabilities After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. Trade and other payables, and loans and borrowings are classified as other liabilities. De-recognition A financial liability is de-recognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss. 2.15 Employee benefits (a) Defined contribution plans The Group makes contributions to the Central Provident Fund scheme in Singapore, a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed. (b) Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised as a liability when they accrue to the employees. The estimated liability for leave is recognised for services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

2.16 Revenue Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defined terms of payment, net of commission and discount, and excluding taxes or duty. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: (a) Sale of goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the transfer of significant risk and rewards of ownership of the goods to the customer, usually on delivery of goods. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return of goods. (b) Interest income Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. 2.17 Borrowing costs Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of that asset. Capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress and the expenditures and borrowing costs are incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalised until the assets are substantially completed for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds. 2.18 Taxes (a) Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, in the country where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

2.18 Taxes (cont’d) (a) Current income tax (cont’d) Current income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. (b) Deferred tax Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of each reporting period. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

2.18 Taxes (cont’d) (c) Sales tax Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except: – Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.



The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet. 2.19 Share capital and share issuance expenses Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted against share capital. 2.20 Contingencies A contingent liability is: (a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because: (i) It is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or The amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

(b)

(ii)

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Contingent liabilities and assets are not recognised on the balance sheet of the Group, except for contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination that are present obligations and which the fair values can be reliably determined.

2.21 Related parties A related party is defined as follows: (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group and Company if that person: (i) (ii) has control or joint control over the Company; has significant influence over the Company; or

(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or Company or of a parent of the Company. (b) An entity is related to the Group and the Company if any of the following conditions applies: (i) the entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others). one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

(ii)

(iii) both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. (iv) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity. (v) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Company or an entity related to the Company. If the Company is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Company.

(vi) the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a). (vii) a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity). 3. Significant accounting judgements and estimates The preparation of the Group’s combined financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of each reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future periods.

In determining the functional currencies of the respective entities in the Group, judgement is required to determine the currency that mainly influences sales prices for goods and services and of the country whose competitive forces and regulations mainly determines the sales prices of its goods and services. The functional currencies of the entities in the Group are determined based on management’s assessment of the economic environment in which the entities operate and the entities’ process of determining sales prices. 3.2 Key sources of estimation uncertainty The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the combined financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. (a) Impairment of loans and receivables The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of the Group’s loans and receivables at the end of the reporting period is disclosed in Note 13 to the combined financial statements.

Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment to be within 1 to 41 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amount of the Group’s plant and equipment at 31 December 2012 is disclosed in Note 10 to the combined financial statements. (c) Taxes Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax provisions already recorded. The Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities. The amount of provision is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the relevant tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective Group entity’s domicile. The carrying amount of the Group’s income tax payable at 31 December 2012 was $233,545 (2011: $173,606; 2010: $247,050). The Group’s deferred tax liabilities at 31 December 2012 is disclosed in Note 17 to the combined financial statements. 4. Revenue 2010 $ Sale of goods 5.

Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group is exposed to financial risks arising from its operations and use of financial instruments. The key financial risks include credit risk, currency risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Group’s risk management policy seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects from these exposures. The management continually monitors the Group’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities.

PS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEARS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010, 2011 AND 2012 22. Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d) The Board of Directors is responsible for setting the objectives, the underlying principles of financial risk management for the Group and establishing policies such as authority levels, oversight responsibilities, risk identification and measurement, exposure limits and hedging strategies, in accordance with the objectives and underlying principles approved. It is, and has been throughout the current and previous financial year, the Group’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to the following financial risks identified or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks. (a) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its obligations. The Group’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables. For other financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents), the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. The Group’s objective is to seek continual revenue growth while minimising losses incurred due to increased credit risk exposure. The Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. Excessive risk concentration Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographical region, or have economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry. In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the Group’s policies and procedures include specific guidelines to focus on maintaining a diversified portfolio. Identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managed accordingly. Exposure to credit risk At the end of the reporting period, the Group has no significant exposure to a single customer.

Financial risk management objectives and policies (cont’d) (a) Credit risk (cont’d) Credit risk concentration profile The Group determines concentration of credit risk by monitoring the country profile of its trade receivables on an ongoing basis. The credit risk concentration profile of the Group’s trade receivables at the end of the reporting period is as follows: 2010 $ Malaysia Indonesia Singapore Other countries Total 715,160 558,442 350,321 191,167 1,815,090 % 39 31 19 11 100 $ 711,900 618,551 391,750 328,631 2,050,832 2011 % 35 30 19 16 100 $ 826,028 502,346 425,422 136,930 1,890,726 2012 % 44 27 23 6 100

Financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired Trade and other receivables that are neither past due nor impaired is due from creditworthy debtors with good payment record with the Group. Cash and cash equivalents that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable financial institutions. Financial assets that are either past due or impaired At the end of the reporting period, the Group has no receivables that are impaired. Information regarding financial assets that are past due is disclosed in Note 13 to the combined financial statements. (b) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due to shortage of funds. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. It was the Group’s objective to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through short-term banking facilities and borrowings from banks or directors in order to meet its liquidity requirements both in the short and long term. In the management of liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations. A-41

Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk arises when transactions are denominated in foreign currencies. The Group has transactional currency exposures arising mainly from sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities, primarily, Singapore Dollars (“SGD”). The foreign currency in which these transactions are denominated are mainly United States Dollars (“USD”). The Group’s objective is where possible to limit the effect of exchange rate movements on the Group’s earnings by closely monitoring the movement of exchange rate fluctuations but the Group does not use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or purchase currency options for trading purposes.

(d)

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk mainly arises from its loans and borrowings and trust receipts. Interest rate risk is managed by the Group on an on-going basis with the primary objective of limiting the extent to which net interest expense could be affected by an adverse movement in interest rates. The Group’s policy is to obtain the most favourable interest rates available for its borrowings and bank deposits. Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk A change of 100 basis points in interest rate at the reporting date would increase/(decrease) profit after tax and equity by the amounts as shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency and tax rates, remain constant. At the end of the reporting period, if SGD interest rates had been 100 (2011: 100; 2010:100) basis points lower/higher with all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit before tax would have been $20,511 (2011: $16,376; 2010: $13,068) higher/lower. This arises mainly as a result of lower/higher interest expense on floating rate loans and borrowings and trust receipts, and higher/lower interest income from floating rate for cash at bank.

APPENDIX B – DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES
The following statements are brief summaries of the rights and privileges of Shareholders conferred by the laws of Singapore and the Articles of our Company. These statements summarise the material provisions of the Articles and are qualified in entirety by reference to the Articles, a copy of which will be available for inspection at our registered office during normal business hours for a period of six months from the date of registration of this Offer Document. 1. Ordinary Shares There are no founders, management, deferred or unissued shares reserved for issue for any purpose. We have only one class of shares, namely, our ordinary shares which have identical rights in all respects and rank equally with one another. All of the Shares are in registered form. We may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the rules of the SGX-ST, purchase our own Shares. However, we may not, except in circumstances permitted by the Companies Act, grant any financial assistance for the acquisition or proposed acquisition of our own Shares. 2. New Shares New Shares may only be issued with the prior approval in a general meeting of our Shareholders. The aggregate number of Shares to be issued pursuant to such approval may not exceed 100% (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST) of our issued share capital for the time being, of which the aggregate number of shares to be issued other than on a pro-rata basis to our Shareholders shall not exceed 50% (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST) of our issued share capital for the time being (the percentage of issued share capital being based on our issued Shares at the time such authority is given after adjusting for new Shares arising from the conversion of convertible securities or employee share options on issue at the time such authority is given and any subsequent consolidation or sub-division of Shares). The approval, if granted, will lapse at the conclusion of the annual general meeting following the date on which the approval was granted or the date by which the annual general meeting is required by law to be held, whichever is the earlier but any approval may be previously revoked or varied by Shareholders in general meeting. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of the Companies Act and any special rights attached to any class of shares currently issued, all new Shares are under the control of our Board who may allot and issue the same with such rights and restrictions as it may think fit. 3. Shareholders Only persons who are registered in the register of Shareholders of our Company and, in cases in which the person so registered is CDP, the persons named as the Depositors in the Depository Register maintained by CDP for the Shares, are recognised as our Shareholders. Our Company will not, except as required by law, recognise any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share or other rights for any Share other than the absolute right thereto of the registered holder of that Share or of the person whose name is entered in the Depository Register for that Share. Our Company may close the register of Shareholders for any time or times if we provide the SGX-ST at least five clear market days’ notice. However, the register of Shareholders may not be closed for more than 30 days in aggregate in any calendar year. Our Company typically closes the register of Shareholders to determine Shareholders’ entitlement to receive dividends and other distributions.

APPENDIX B – DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES
4. Transfer of Shares There is no restriction on the transfer of fully paid Shares except where required by law or the Listing Manual or the rules or by-laws of any stock exchange on which our Company is listed. Our Board may decline to register any transfer of Shares which are not fully paid Shares, or Shares on which our Company has a lien. Our Shares may be transferred by a duly signed instrument of transfer in a form approved by the SGX-ST or any stock exchange on which our Company is listed. Our Board may also decline to register any instrument of transfer unless, among other things, it has been duly stamped and is presented for registration together with the share certificate and such other evidence of title as it may require. Our Company will replace lost or destroyed certificates for Shares if it is properly notified and if the applicant pays a fee which will not exceed S$2 and furnishes any evidence and indemnity that our Board may require. 5. General Meetings of Shareholders Our Company is required to hold an annual general meeting every year. Our Board may convene an extraordinary general meeting whenever it thinks fit and must do so if Shareholders representing not less than 10% of the total voting rights of all Shareholders request in writing that such a meeting be held. In addition, two or more Shareholders holding not less than 10% of the issued share capital of our Company (excluding treasury shares) may call a meeting. Unless otherwise required by law or by our Articles, voting at general meetings is by ordinary resolution, requiring an affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast at that meeting. An ordinary resolution suffices, for example, for the appointment of directors. A special resolution, requiring the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the votes cast at the meeting, is necessary for certain matters under Singapore law, including voluntary winding up, amendments to the Memorandum of Association and our Articles, a change of the corporate name and a reduction in the share capital. Our Company must give at least 21 days’ notice in writing for every general meeting convened for the purpose of passing a special resolution. Ordinary resolutions generally require at least 14 days’ notice in writing. The notice must be given to every Shareholder who has supplied our Company with an address in Singapore for the giving of notices and must set forth the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and, in the case of special business, the general nature of that business. 6. Voting Rights A Shareholder is entitled to attend, speak and vote at any general meeting, in person or by proxy. Proxies need not be Shareholders. A person who holds Shares through the SGX-ST book-entry settlement system will only be entitled to vote at a general meeting as a Shareholder if his name appears on the Depository Register maintained by CDP 48 hours before the general meeting. Except as otherwise provided in our Articles, two or more Shareholders must be present in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum at any general meeting. Under the Articles, on a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person and by proxy shall have one vote (provided that in the case of a Shareholder who is represented by two proxies, only one of the two proxies as determined by that Shareholder or, failing such determination, by the Chairman of the meeting in his sole discretion shall be entitled to vote on a show of hands), and on a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each Share which he holds or represents. A poll may be demanded in certain circumstances, including by the chairman of the meeting or by any Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or by proxy and representing not less than 10% of the total voting rights of all Shareholders having the right to attend and vote at the meeting or by not less than two Shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. In the case of an equality of vote, whether on a show of hands or a poll, the chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to a casting vote. B-2

APPENDIX B – DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES
7. Dividends Our Company may, by ordinary resolution of our Shareholders, declare dividends at a general meeting, but we may not pay dividends in excess of the amount recommended by our Board. We must pay all dividends out of our profits. Our Board may also declare an interim dividend without the approval of our Shareholders. All dividends are paid pro-rata among our Shareholders in proportion to the amount paid up on each Share, unless the rights attaching to an issue of any Share provide otherwise. Unless otherwise directed, dividends are paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post to each Shareholder at his registered address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment by our Company to CDP of any dividend payable to a Shareholder whose name is entered in the Depository Register shall, to the extent of payment made to CDP, discharge our Company from any liability to that Shareholder in respect of that payment. 8. Bonus and Rights Issues Our Board may, with approval by our Shareholders at a general meeting, capitalise any reserves or profits and distribute the same as bonus Shares credited as paid-up to our Shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. Our Board may also issue rights to take up additional Shares to Shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings. Such rights are subject to any conditions attached to such issue and the regulations of any stock exchange on which our Company is listed. 9. Take-overs Under the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers (“ Singapore Take-over Code ”), issued by the Authority pursuant to section 321 of the SFA, any person acquiring an interest, either on his own or together with parties acting in concert with him, in 30% or more of the voting Shares must extend a takeover offer for the remaining voting Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Singapore Take-over Code. In addition, a mandatory takeover offer is also required to be made if a person holding, either on his own or together with parties acting in concert with him, between 30% and 50% of the voting rights acquires additional voting shares representing more than 1% of the voting shares in any six month period.

14. Substantial Shareholders The Securities and Futures Act requires our Substantial Shareholders to give notice to us of certain information as prescribed by the Authority, including particulars of their interest, within two business days of becoming aware of being our Substantial Shareholders or ceasing to be our Substantial Shareholder and being aware of any change in the percentage level of their interest. “Percentage level”, in relation to a Substantial Shareholder, is the percentage figure ascertained by expressing the total votes attached to all the voting shares in which the Substantial Shareholder has an interest (or interests) immediately before or (as the case may be) immediately after the relevant time, as a percentage of the total votes attached to all of the voting shares (excluding treasury shares), and if it is not a whole number, rounding that figure down to the next whole number. Under the Securities and Futures Act, a person has a substantial shareholding in us if he has an interest (or interests) in one or more of our voting shares (excluding treasury shares) and the total votes attached to those shares are not less than 5.0% of the total votes attached to all of our voting shares (excluding treasury shares).

Provided always that where the necessary majority for such a special resolution is not obtained at the general meeting, consent in writing if obtained from the holders of three-fourths of the preference shares concerned within two (2) months of the general meeting, shall be as valid and effectual as a special resolution carried at the general meeting. Article 16(1) – Entitlement to certificate Shares must be allotted and certificates despatched within ten (10) market days of the final closing date for an issue of shares unless the Exchange shall agree to an extension of time in respect of that particular issue.

Where a registered shareholder transfers part only of the shares comprised in a certificate or where a registered shareholder requires the Company to cancel any certificate or certificates and issue new certificates for the purpose of subdividing his holding in a different manner the old certificate or certificates shall be cancelled and a new certificate or certificates for the balance of such shares issued in lieu thereof and the registered shareholder shall pay a fee not exceeding S$2 (or such other fee as the Directors may determine having regard to any limitation thereof as may be prescribed by any stock exchange upon which the shares of the Company may be listed) for each such new certificate as the Directors may determine.

APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF SELECTED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF OUR COMPANY
Article 47 – Rights and privileges of new shares Subject to any special rights for the time being attached to any existing class of shares, the new shares shall be issued upon such terms and conditions and with such rights and privileges annexed thereto as the general meeting resolving upon the creation thereof shall direct and if no direction be given as the Directors shall determine; subject to the provisions of these Articles and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) such shares may be issued with a preferential or qualified right to dividends and in the distribution of assets of the Company or otherwise. Article 71(1) – Voting rights of Members Subject and without prejudice to any special privileges or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any special class of shares for the time being forming part of the capital of the Company and to Article 6, each Member entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy or attorney, and (in the case of a corporation) by a representative.

For the purpose of determining the number of votes which a Depositor or his proxy may cast on a poll, the Depositor or his proxy shall be deemed to hold or represent that number of shares entered in the Depositor’s Securities Account at the cut-off time as certified by the Depository to the Company, or where a Depositor has apportioned the balance standing to his Securities Account as at the cut-off time between two (2) proxies, to apportion the said number of shares between the two (2) proxies in the same proportion as specified by the Depositor in appointing the proxies; and accordingly no instrument appointing a proxy of a Depositor shall be rendered invalid merely by reason of any discrepancy between the number of shares standing to the credit of that Depositor’s Securities Account as at the cut-off time, and the true balance standing to the Securities Account of a Depositor as at the time of the relevant general meeting, if the instrument is dealt with in such manner as aforesaid. Article 72 – Voting rights of joint holders Where there are joint holders of any share any one (1) of such persons may vote and be reckoned in a quorum at any meeting either personally or by proxy or by attorney or in the case of a corporation by a representative as if he were solely entitled thereto but if more than one (1) of such joint holders is so present at any meeting then the person present whose name stands first in the Register of Members or the Depository Register (as the case may be) in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof. Several executors or administrators of a deceased Member in whose name any share stands shall for the purpose of this Article be deemed joint holders thereof.

APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF SELECTED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF OUR COMPANY
Article 73 – Voting rights of members of unsound mind If a Member be a lunatic, idiot or non-compos mentis, he may vote whether on a show of hands or on a poll by his committee, curator bonis or such other person as properly has the management of his estate and any such committee, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy or attorney, provided that such evidence as the Directors may require of the authority of the person claiming to vote shall have been deposited at the Office not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting.

(iii) subdivide its shares or any of them (subject to the provisions of the Companies Act), Provided always that in such subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount (if any) unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and (iv) subject to the provisions of these Articles and the Companies Act, convert any class of shares into any other class of shares. Article 50(2) – Repurchase of Company’s shares The Company may purchase or otherwise acquire its issued shares subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and any other relevant rule, law or regulation enacted or promulgated by any relevant competent authority from time to time (collectively, the “ Relevant Laws ”), on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Company may in general meeting prescribe in accordance with the Relevant Laws. Any shares purchased or acquired by the Company as aforesaid may be cancelled or held as treasury shares and dealt with in accordance with the Relevant Laws. On the cancellation of any share as aforesaid, the rights and privileges attached to that share shall expire. In any

C-8

APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF SELECTED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF OUR COMPANY
other instance, the Company may hold or deal with any such share which is so purchased or acquired by it in such manner as may be permitted by, and in accordance with, the Companies Act. Article 51 – Power to reduce capital The Company may by special resolution reduce its share capital or any other undistributable reserve in any manner subject to any requirements and consents required by law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, upon cancellation of any share purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company pursuant to these presents and the Companies Act, the number of issued shares of the Company shall be diminished by the number of shares so cancelled, and where any such cancelled shares were purchased or acquired out of the capital of the Company, the amount of the share capital of the Company shall be reduced accordingly. 8. Any change in the respective rights of the various classes of shares including the action necessary to change the rights, indicating where the conditions are different from those required by the applicable law Article 7(1) – Variation of rights If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes, the repayment of preference capital other than redeemable preference capital and the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, whether or not the Company is being wound up, only be made, varied or abrogated with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of shares of the class and to every such special resolution, the provisions of Section 184 of the Companies Act shall, with such adaptations as are necessary, apply. To every such separate general meeting, the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall mutatis mutandis apply; but so that the necessary quorum shall be two (2) persons at least holding or representing by proxy or by attorney one-third of the issued shares of the class and that any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy or by attorney may demand a poll. Provided always that where the necessary majority for such a special resolution is not obtained at the general meeting, consent in writing if obtained from the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of the class concerned within two (2) months of the general meeting shall be as valid and effectual as a special resolution carried at the general meeting. Article 8 – Creation or issue of further shares with special rights The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or by these Articles, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking equally therewith.

C-9

APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF SELECTED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF OUR COMPANY

Any time limit after which a dividend entitlement will lapse and an indication of the party in whose favour this entitlement operates Article 130(1) – Unclaimed dividends The payment by the Directors of any unclaimed dividends or other monies payable on or in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof. All dividends unclaimed after being declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors for the benefit of the Company and any dividend unclaimed after a period of six (6) years from the date of declaration of such dividend may be forfeited and if so shall revert to the Company but the Directors may at any time thereafter at their absolute discretion annul any such forfeiture and pay the dividend so forfeited to the person entitled thereto prior to the forfeiture. For the avoidance of doubt no Member shall be entitled to any interest, share of revenue or other benefit arising from any unclaimed dividends, howsoever and whatsoever. If the Depositor returns any such dividend or money to the Company, the relevant Depositor shall not have any right or claim in respect of such dividend or money against the Company if a period of six (6) years has elapsed from the date of the declaration of such dividend or the date on which such other money was first payable. 10. Any limitation on the right to own shares including limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the shares Article 11 – No trust recognised Except as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust and the Company shall not be bound by or compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any interest in any fractional part of a share or (except only as by these Articles or by law otherwise provided) any other rights in respect of any share, except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the person (other than the Depository) entered in the Register of Members as the registered holder thereof or (where the person entered in the Register of Members as the registered holder of a share is the Depository) the person whose name is entered in the Depository Register in respect of that share. Article 20 – Person under disability No share shall in any circumstances be transferred to any infant, bankrupt or person of unsound mind but nothing herein contained shall be construed as imposing on the company any liability in respect of the registration of such transfer if the company has no actual knowledge of the same. Article 48(1) – Issue of new shares to Members Subject to any direction to the contrary that may be given by the Company in general meeting, or except as permitted under the Exchange’s listing rules, all new shares shall before issue be offered to the Members in proportion, as nearly as the circumstances admit, to the number of the existing shares to which they are entitled or hold. The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered, and limiting a time within which the offer, if not accepted, will be deemed to be declined, and, after the expiration of that time, or on the receipt of an intimation from the person to whom the offer is made that he declines to

C-10

APPENDIX C – SUMMARY OF SELECTED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF OUR COMPANY
accept the shares offered, the Directors may dispose of those shares in such manner as they think most beneficial to the Company. The Directors may likewise so dispose of any new shares which (by reason of the ratio which the new shares bear to shares held by persons entitled to an offer of new shares) cannot, in the opinion of the Directors, be conveniently offered under this Article. Article 48(2) Notwithstanding Article 48(1) above but subject to the Companies Act and the byelaws and listing rules of the Exchange, the Company may by ordinary resolution in general meeting give to the Directors a general authority, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as may be specified in the ordinary resolution to: (i) issue shares in the capital of the Company (whether by way of rights, bonus or otherwise); and/or make or grant Instruments; and/or

(ii)

(iii) (notwithstanding the authority conferred by the ordinary resolution may have ceased to be in force) issue shares in pursuance of any Instrument made or granted by the Directors while the ordinary resolution was in force; provided that: (a) the aggregate number of shares or Instruments to be issued pursuant to the ordinary resolution (including shares to be issued in pursuance of Instruments made or granted pursuant to the ordinary resolution but excluding shares which may be issued pursuant to any adjustments effected under any relevant Instrument) does not exceed any applicable limits prescribed by the Exchange; in exercising the authority conferred by the ordinary resolution, the Company shall comply with the listing rules for the time being in force (unless such compliance is waived by the Exchange) and the Articles; and (unless revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting) the authority conferred by the ordinary resolution shall not continue in force beyond the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting next following the passing of the ordinary resolution, or the date by which such Annual General Meeting is required by law to be held, or the expiration of such other period as may be prescribed by the Companies Act (whichever is the earliest).

(b)

(c)

Article 48(3) Notwithstanding Article 48(1) above but subject to the Companies Act, the Directors shall not be required to offer any new shares to members to whom by reason of foreign securities laws such offers may not be made without registration of the shares or a prospectus or other document, but may sell the entitlements to the new shares on behalf of such Members in such manner as they think most beneficial to the Company.

APPENDIX D – TAXATION
The following is a discussion of certain tax matters relating to Singapore income tax, capital gains tax, stamp duty, estate duty and GST consequences in relation to the purchase, ownership and disposal of our Shares based on the current tax laws in Singapore. The discussion is limited to a general description of certain tax consequences in Singapore with respect to ownership of our Shares by Singapore investors, and does not purport to be a comprehensive nor exhaustive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase our Shares. It is also not intended to be and does not constitute legal or tax advice. The discussion below is based on the assumption that our Company is a tax resident in Singapore for Singapore income tax purposes. The laws, regulations and interpretations, may change at any time, and any change could be made on a retroactive basis. These laws and regulations are also subject to various interpretations and no assurance can be given that the relevant tax authorities or the courts of Singapore will agree with the explanations or conclusions set out below or that changes in such laws and regulations will not occur. You, as a prospective subscriber of our Shares should consult your tax advisers and/or legal advisers concerning the tax consequences of owning and disposing our Shares. Neither our Company, our Directors nor any other persons involved in this Placement accepts responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the subscription, purchase, holding or disposal of our Shares. 1. INCOME TAX (a) Individual Taxpayers An individual is regarded as a tax resident in Singapore in a year of assessment if, in the preceding calendar year, he was physically present in Singapore or exercised an employment in Singapore for 183 days or more, or if he ordinarily resides in Singapore. Individual taxpayers who are Singapore tax residents are subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore. All foreign-source income received (except for certain income received through a partnership in Singapore) in Singapore by Singapore tax resident individuals is exempt from Singapore income tax if the IRAS is satisfied that the tax exemption would be beneficial to the individual. Singapore tax-resident individuals are subject to tax based on progressive rates, currently ranging from 0% to 20%. Non-Singapore resident individuals, subject to certain exceptions, are subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore. They are generally subject to tax at 20% except for Singapore employment income which is subjected to tax at a flat rate of 15% or at the resident rate, whichever is higher. (b) Corporate Taxpayers A company is tax resident in Singapore if the control and management of its business is exercised in Singapore. Corporate taxpayers are subject to Singapore income tax on income accrued in or derived from Singapore and, subject to certain exceptions, on foreign-source income received or deemed to be received in Singapore from outside Singapore. Foreign-

D-1

APPENDIX D – TAXATION
source income in the form of dividends, branch profits and services income received or deemed to be received in Singapore by Singapore tax resident companies on or after 1 June 2003 are exempt from tax if certain prescribed conditions are met. The corporate tax rate in Singapore is 17% with effect from year of assessment 2010 (i.e. financial year ended 2009). In addition, 75% of up to the first S$10,000 of normal chargeable income, and 50% of up to the next S$290,000 is exempt from corporate tax. The remaining chargeable income (after the partial tax exemption) will be taxed at 17%. In addition, for newly incorporated entities, subject to meeting certain conditions, the first S$100,000 and one-half of up to the next S$200,000 of their normal chargeable income will be eligible for tax exemption. (c) Dividend Distributions (i) One Tier Corporate Taxation System Singapore adopts the One-Tier Corporate Taxation System (“ One-Tier System ”), Under the One-Tier System, the tax collected from corporate profits is a final tax and the after-tax profits of the company resident in Singapore can be distributed to the shareholders as tax exempt (One-Tier) dividends. Such dividends are tax exempt in the hands of the shareholders. (ii) Withholding Taxes Singapore does not currently impose withholding tax on dividends paid to resident or non-resident shareholders. Foreign shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers to take into account the tax laws of their respective home countries/countries of residence and the applicability of any double taxation agreement which their country of residence may have with Singapore. 2. CAPITAL GAINS TAX In general, there is no tax on capital gains in Singapore. Thus, any gains derived from the disposal of our Shares acquired for long-term investment will not be taxable in Singapore. On the other hand, where the taxpayer is deemed by the IRAS to be carrying on a trade or business of dealing in shares in Singapore, gains from disposal of shares are of an income nature (rather than capital gains) and thus subject to Singapore income tax. Subject to certain conditions being met, with effect from 1 June 2012 and for a period of five years, gains derived from the disposal of ordinary shares by companies will not be subjected to Singapore tax, if the divesting company holds a minimum shareholding of 20% of the ordinary shares in the company whose shares are being disposed for a minimum period of 24 months. Other than the above, there are no specific laws or regulations which deal with the characterisation of capital gains, and hence, gains may be construed to be of an income nature and subject to tax especially if they arise from activities which the IRAS regards as the carrying on of a trade in Singapore. D-2

APPENDIX D – TAXATION
Foreign sellers are advised to consult their own tax advisers to take into account the applicable tax laws of their respective home countries or countries of residence as well as the provisions of any applicable double taxation agreement. 3. STAMP DUTY No stamp duty is payable on the subscription and issuance of our Shares. Where existing Shares evidenced in certificated form are acquired in Singapore, stamp duty is payable on the instrument of transfer of the Shares at the rate of S$0.20 for every S$100 or any part thereof of the consideration for, or market value of the Shares, whichever is higher. The purchaser is liable for stamp duty, unless otherwise agreed. No stamp duty is payable if no instrument of transfer is executed (such as in the case of scripless shares, the transfer of which does not require instruments of transfer to be executed) or if the instrument of transfer is executed outside Singapore. However, stamp duty may be payable if the instrument of transfer which is executed outside Singapore is subsequently received in Singapore. Stamp duty is not applicable to electronic transfers of our Shares through the CDP system. 4. ESTATE DUTY Singapore estate duty has been abolished with effect from 15 February 2008. 5. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (“GST”) General The sale of our Shares by a GST-registered investor belonging in Singapore to another person belonging in Singapore is an exempt supply not subject to GST. Any GST (for example, GST on brokerage) incurred by the investor in connection with the making of this exempt supply will generally become an additional cost to the investor unless the investor satisfies certain concessions. Where our Shares are sold by a GST-registered investor to a person belonging to a country other than Singapore, the sale is a zero-rated supply (i.e. subject to GST at zero rate). Any GST (for example, GST on brokerage) incurred by him in the making of this zero-rated supply for the purpose of his business will, subject to the provisions of the GST legislation, be recoverable as an input tax credit in his GST returns. Investors should seek their own tax advice on the recoverability of GST incurred on expenses in connection with purchase and sale of our Shares. Services such as brokerage, handling and clearing services rendered by a GST-registered person to an investor belonging in Singapore in connection with the investor’s purchase, sale or holding of our Shares will be subject to GST at the prevailing rate of 7.0%. Similar services rendered contractually to an investor belonging outside Singapore should qualify for zero-rating (i.e. subject to GST at zero rate) provided that the investor is not physically present in Singapore at the time the services are performed and the services do not directly benefit a person who belongs in Singapore.

7. 7.1 AWARDS The selection of the Participants and number of Shares which are the subject of each Award to be granted to a Participant in accordance with the PSP shall be determined at the absolute discretion of the Committee, which shall take into account criteria such as, inter alia , the rank, scope of responsibilities, performance, years of service and potential for future development and contribution to the success of the Group. In the case of a performance-related Award, the Performance Targets will be set by the Committee depending on each individual Participant’s job scope and responsibilities. The Performance Targets to be set shall take into account both the medium and long-term corporate objectives of the Group and the individual performance of the Participant and will be aimed at sustaining long-term growth. The corporate objectives shall cover market competitiveness, business growth and productivity growth. The Performance Targets could be based on criteria such as sales growth, growth in earnings and return on investment. In addition, the Participant’s length of service with the Group, achievement of past Performance Targets, value-add to the Group’s performance and development and overall enhancement to shareholder value, amongst others, will be taken into account. As soon as reasonably practicable after an Award is finalised by the Committee, the Committee shall send an Award letter to the Participant confirming the said Award. The said Award letter shall specify, inter alia , the following: (a) in relation to a performance-related Award, the Performance Targets for the Participant and the period during which the Performance Targets shall be met; the number of Shares to be vested on the Participant; and the date by which the Award shall be vested.

7.2

7.3

(b) (c) 7.4

The Committee shall take into account various factors when determining the method to arrive at the exact number of Shares comprised in an Award. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the current price of the Shares, the total issued share capital of the Company and the predetermined dollar amount which the Committee decides that a Participant deserves for meeting his Performance Targets. For example, Shares may be awarded based on predetermined dollar amounts such that the quantum of Shares comprised in Awards is dependent on the closing price of Shares transacted on the Market Day the Award is vested. Alternatively, the Committee may decide absolute numbers of Shares to be awarded to Participants irrespective of the price of the Shares. The Committee shall monitor the grant of Awards carefully to ensure that the size of the PSP will comply with the relevant rules of the Listing Manual. Awards are personal to the Participant to whom it is given and shall not be transferred (other than to a Participant’s personal representative on the death of that Participant), charged, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, unless with the prior approval of the Committee.

8. 8.1 VESTING OF THE AWARDS Notwithstanding that a Participant may have met his Performance Targets, no Awards shall be vested: (a) upon the bankruptcy of the Participant or the happening of any other event which results in his being deprived of the legal or beneficial ownership of such Award; in the event of any misconduct on the part of the Participant as determined by the Committee in its discretion; subject to Rule 8.2, upon the Participant ceasing to be in the employment of the Group for any reason whatsoever; or in the event that the Committee shall, at its discretion, deem it appropriate that such Award to be given to a Participant shall so lapse on the grounds that any of the objectives of the PSP (as set out in Rule 3) have not been met.

(b)

(c)

(d)

8.2

A Participant shall be entitled to an Award so long as he has met the Performance Targets notwithstanding that he may have ceased to be employed by the Group after the fulfilment of such Performance Targets. For the purpose of this Rule 8.2, the Participant may cease to be so employed in any of the following events, namely: (a) through ill health, injury or disability (in each case, evidenced to the satisfaction of the Committee); redundancy; death; retirement at or after the legal retirement age; retirement before the legal retirement age with the consent of the Committee; or any other event approved by the Committee.

(b) (c) (d) (e) (f) 9. 9.1

TAKE-OVER AND WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY Notwithstanding Rule 8 but subject to Rule 9.5, in the event of a take-over being made for the Shares, a Participant shall (notwithstanding that the vesting period for the Award has not expired) be entitled to the Shares under the Awards if he has met the Performance Targets which fall within the period commencing on the date on which such offer for a take-over of the Company is made or, if such offer is conditional, the date on which such offer becomes or is declared unconditional, as the case may be, and ending on the earlier of: (a) the expiry of six months thereafter, unless prior to the expiry of such 6-month period, at the recommendation of the offeror and with the approvals of the Committee and

E-7

APPENDIX E – RULES OF THE PS GROUP HOLDINGS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN
the SGX-ST, such expiry date is extended to a later date (in either case, being a date falling not later than the last date on which the Performance Targets are to be met); or (b) the date of expiry of the period for which the Performance Targets are to be met,

provided that if during such period, the offeror becomes entitled or bound to exercise rights of compulsory acquisition under the provisions of the Companies Act and, being entitled to do so, gives notice to the Participants that it intends to exercise such rights on a specified date, the Participant shall be obliged to fulfill such Performance Targets until the expiry of such specified date or the expiry date of the Performance Targets relating thereto, whichever is earlier, before an Award can be vested. 9.2 If under any applicable laws, the court sanctions a compromise or arrangement proposed for the purposes of, or in connection with, a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with another company or companies, each Participant who has fulfilled his Performance Targets shall be entitled, notwithstanding the provisions herein and the fact that the vesting period for such Award has not expired but subject to Rule 9.5, to any Shares under the Awards so determined by the Committee to be released to him during the period commencing on the date upon which the compromise or arrangement is sanctioned by the court and ending either on the expiry of 60 days thereafter or the date upon which the compromise or arrangement becomes effective, whichever is later. If an order or an effective resolution is made for the winding-up of the Company on the basis of its insolvency, all Awards, notwithstanding that they may have been so vested shall be deemed or become null and void. In the event of a members’ voluntary winding-up (other than for amalgamation or reconstruction), the Awards shall so vest in the Participant for so long as, in the absolute determination by the Committee, the Participant has met the Performance Targets prior to the date that the members’ voluntary winding-up shall be deemed to have been commenced or effective in law. If in connection with the making of a general offer referred to in Rule 9.1 or the scheme referred to in Rule 9.2 or the winding-up referred to in Rule 9.4, arrangements are made (which are confirmed in writing by the Auditors, acting only as experts and not as arbitrators, to be fair and reasonable) for the compensation of Participants, whether by the payment of cash or by any other form of benefit, no release of Shares under the Award shall be made in such circumstances. RELEASE OF AWARDS As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each performance period, the Committee shall review the Performance Targets specified in respect of that Award and determine whether they have been satisfied and, if so, the extent to which they have been satisfied (whether fully or partially) and the number of Shares to be released. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine whether Performance Targets have been met (whether fully or partially) or exceeded and/or whether the Participant’s performance and/or contribution to the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries justifies the

APPENDIX E – RULES OF THE PS GROUP HOLDINGS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN
vesting of an Award. In making any such determination, the Committee shall have the right to make reference to the audited results of the Company or the Group, as the case may be, to take into account such factors as the Committee may determine to be relevant, such as changes in accounting methods, taxes and extraordinary events, and further, the right to amend the Performance Targets if the Committee decides that a changed Performance Targets would be a fairer measure of performance. 10.3 Awards may only be vested and consequently any Shares comprised in such Awards shall only be delivered upon the Committee being satisfied that the Participant has achieved the Performance Targets. Subject to the prevailing legislation and the provisions of the Listing Manual, the Company will deliver Shares to Participants upon vesting of their Awards by way of an issue of New Shares or the transfer of existing Shares held as treasury shares to the Participants. In determining whether to issue New Shares or to purchase existing Shares for delivery to Participants upon the vesting of their Awards, the Company will take into account factors such as the number of Shares to be delivered, the prevailing market price of the Shares and the financial effect on the Company of either issuing New Shares or purchasing existing Shares. The Committee will procure, upon approval of the Board, the allotment or transfer to each Participant of the number of Shares which are to be released to that Participant pursuant to an Award under Rule 7. Any proposed issue of New Shares will be subject to there being in force at the relevant time the requisite Shareholders approval under the Companies for the issue of Shares. Any allotment of New Shares pursuant to an Award will take into account the rounding of odd lots. Where New Shares are to be allotted or any Shares are to be transferred to a Participant pursuant to the release of any Award, the Vesting Date will be a trading day falling as soon as practicable after the review of the Committee referred to in Rule 10.1. On the Vesting Date, the Committee will procure the allotment or transfer of each Participant of the number of Shares so determined. Where New Shares are to be allotted upon the vesting of any Award, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after allotment, where necessary, apply to the SGX-ST for the permission to deal in and for quotation of such Shares on Catalist. Shares which are allotted or transferred on the release of an Award to a Participant shall be issued in the name of, or transferred to, CDP to the credit of either: (a) (b) (c) the securities account of that Participant maintained with CDP; the securities sub-account of that Participant maintained with a Depository Agent; or the CPF investment account maintained with a CPF agent bank,

in each case, as designated by that Participant. Until such issue or transfer of such Shares has been effected, that Participant shall have no voting rights nor any entitlements to dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of any Shares which are the subject of the Award granted to him. 10.10 New Shares allotted and issued, and existing Shares held in treasury procured by the Company for transfer, on the release of an Award, shall be subject to all the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and the Companies Act, and shall rank in full for all entitlements, including dividends or other distributions declared or recommended in respect of the then existing Shares, the Record Date for which is on or after the date of issue of the New Shares or the date of transfer of treasury shares pursuant to the vesting of the Award, and shall in all other respects rank pari passu with other existing Shares then in issue. “Record Date” means the date fixed by the Company for the purposes of determining entitlements to dividends or other distributions to or rights of holders of Shares. 10.11 Shares which are allotted, and/or treasury shares which are transferred, on the vesting of an Award to a Participant, may be subject to such moratorium as may be imposed by the Committee. VARIATION OF CAPITAL If a variation in the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (whether by way of a capitalisation of profits or reserves or rights issue, capital reduction, subdivision, consolidation, distribution or otherwise) shall take place, then: (a) the class and/or number of Shares which are the subject of an Award to the extent not yet vested; and/or the class and/or number of Shares over which future Awards may be granted under the PSP,

shall be adjusted by the Committee to give each Participant the same proportion of the equity capital of the Company as that to which he was previously entitled and, in doing so, the Committee shall determine at its own discretion the manner in which such adjustment shall be made. 11.2 Unless the Committee considers an adjustment to be appropriate, the following events shall not normally be regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment: (a) the issue of securities as consideration for an acquisition or a private placement of securities; the cancellation of issued Shares purchased or acquired by the Company by way of a market purchase of such Shares undertaken by the Company on Catalist of the SGX-ST during the period when a share purchase mandate granted by Shareholders (including any renewal of such mandate) is in force;

(b)

APPENDIX E – RULES OF THE PS GROUP HOLDINGS PERFORMANCE SHARE PLAN
(c) the issue of Shares or other securities convertible into or with rights to acquire or subscribe for Shares to its employees pursuant to any share option scheme or share plan approved by Shareholders in general meeting, including the PSP; and any issue of Shares arising from the exercise of any warrants or the conversion of any convertible securities issued by the Company.

(d)

11.3

Notwithstanding the provisions of Rule 11.1: (a) the adjustment must be made in such a way that a Participant will not receive a benefit that a Shareholder does not receive; and any adjustment (except in relation to a capitalisation issue) must be confirmed in writing by the Auditors (acting only as experts and not as arbitrators) to be in their opinion, fair and reasonable.

(b)

11.4

Upon any adjustment required to be made pursuant to this Rule 11, the Company shall notify the Participant (or his duly appointed personal representatives where applicable) in writing and deliver to him (or his duly appointed personal representatives where applicable) a statement setting forth the class and/or number of Shares thereafter to be issued or transferred on the vesting of an Award. Any adjustment shall take effect upon such written notification being given. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PSP The Plan shall be administered by the Committee in its absolute discretion with such powers and duties as are conferred on it by the Board, provided that no member of the Committee shall participate in any deliberation or decision in respect of Awards granted or to be granted to him. The Committee shall have the power, from time to time, to make and vary such rules (not being inconsistent with the PSP) for the implementation and administration of the PSP as they think fit including, but not limited to: (a) imposing restrictions on the number of Awards that may be vested within each financial year; and amending Performance Targets if by so doing, it would be a fairer measure of performance for a Participant or for the PSP as a whole.

The ESOS is primarily a share incentive scheme. It recognises the fact that the services of such Group Employees are important to the success and continued well-being of the Group. Implementation of the ESOS will enable the Company to give recognition to the contributions made by such Group Employees. At the same time, it will give such Group Employees an opportunity to have a direct interest in the Company and will also help to achieve the following positive objectives: (a) to motivate each Participant to optimise his performance standards and efficiency and to maintain a high level of contribution to the Group; to retain key employees and Directors whose contributions are essential to the long-term growth and profitability of the Group; to instil loyalty to, and a stronger identification by the Participants with the long-term prosperity of, the Group; to attract potential employees with relevant skills to contribute to the Group and to create value for the Shareholders; and to align the interests of the Participants with the interests of the Shareholders.
