Jardine Cycle & Carriage Limited ("JC&C") wishes to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Platinum Victory Pte. Ltd. ("PVPL"), has purchased 50,000 shares in Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation ("REE") for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately USD0.08 million.

As a result of the purchase, PVPL's shareholding in REE has increased from 24.89% to 24.90%.

The purchase was funded by internal resources, and the consideration was arrived at on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis having regard to the prevailing market price. As at 28 February 2019, the closing market price of a REE share on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange was VND33,050.

The purchase is not expected to have a material impact on the JC&C Group's net tangible assets or earnings per share. Had the purchase taken place on 1 January 2018, it would not have had a material impact on the JC&C Group's earnings per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2018. Had the purchase taken place on 31 December 2018, it would not have had a material impact on the JC&C Group's net tangible assets per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2018.

None of the Directors or controlling shareholders of JC&C has any interest, direct or indirect, in the transaction (save through their shareholding interests, if any, in JC&C or directorship in REE).
