The Offeror now owns, controls, or has agreed to acquire an aggregate of 104,122,998 Shares representing approximately 96.59% of the total number of issued Shares of Ban Leong.

As the percentage of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Shares held in treasury) held in public hands has fallen below 10% (the “Free Float Requirement“) as required by the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST” or the “Singapore Stock Exchange“), the SGX-ST will suspend trading of the Shares at the close of the offer. As previously announced, the Offeror has no intention to support any action or take any steps for any such trading suspension by the SGX-ST to be lifted or to restore the public float. Instead, the Offeror intends to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire all the offer shares not acquired under the offer. Following such compulsory acquisition, the Offeror will proceed to delist Ban Leong from the SGX-ST.

This press release should be read in conjunction with the full text of the Announcement, a copy which may be obtained from the website of the SGX-ST.

[1] Unless otherwise stated, references in this Announcement to the total number of issued Shares shall be based on a total of 107,796,700 Shares in issue (excluding 8,703,300 treasury shares and 681,818 returned shares) as at the date of this Announcement.
