The Board's comments on this appointment (including rationale, selection criteria, and the search and nomination process)
The Board (saved for Mr. Lo), taking into consideration the academic and professional qualifications, expertise, working experience and knowledge of Mr. Teo Kian Huat, and is satisfied that Mr. Teo Kian Huat possess the requisite competencies and experience to assume the responsibilities as a Non-Executive Independent Director, a member of the Nominating Committee, Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee of the Company.

The NC is of the view that there should be a strong element of independence at the Board level, especially in the light of the ongoing Sing-Swe MM Biotechnology Pte. Ltd. ("SSMM") acquisition. As such, the NC has not recommended or endorsed the appointment of this candidate due to (a) lack of experience as a listed company director; and (b) he was recommended for appointment by the introducer of the SSMM acquisition.

The Board (saved for Mr. Lo) considers Mr. Teo Kian Huat to be independent pursuant to Catalist Rule 704(7).
