Additional TextPlease also refer to the Company's announcements (Announcement Reference SG171114OTHRS2BK and SG171116OTHRFNWU) released on 14 November 2017 and 16 November 2017 respectively (the "Announcements") in relation to legal action in respect of unauthorised withdrawals from Huizhou Daya Bay Mei Tai Cheng Property Development Co., Limited.
Additional TextUnless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms used herein shall bear the same meaning as in the Announcements.
Additional TextThe Board is of the view that the issue of the Requisition Notice by Mr Luo in respect of his intention to call for an EGM to seek the removal of certain directors and the appointment of other directors is an attempt to circumvent the breach of corporate governance in respect of the Unauthorised Withdrawals involving companies controlled by Mr Luo.
Additional TextThe Board is of the opinion that, until such time that matters in respect of the Unauthorised Withdrawals and the proposed removal and appointment of directors are resolved, it would be prudent for the Company to request for a voluntary suspension of trading in its shares.
Additional TextThe Company will make further announcements as may be necessary and/or appropriate and on resumption of trading of the Company's shares in due course.
