Any relationship (including immediate family relationships) with any existing director, existing executive officer, the issuer and/or substantial shareholder of the listed issuer or of any of its principal subsidiaries
Tan Sri Lim is the Executive Chairman and Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company (which indirectly owns 100% of RWS), and is also a director of GENT, certain companies within the GENT Group, and certain companies which are substantial shareholders of GENT. Tan Sri Lim is also one of the beneficiaries of a discretionary trust, the trustee of which is Parkview Management Sdn Bhd ("Parkview").

Parkview as trustee of the discretionary trust, through its wholly-owned company, namely Kien Huat International Limited, owns the entire issued voting share capital of Kien Huat Realty Sdn Berhad ("KHR"). As such, Parkview is deemed to be interested in the shares of the Company held through KHR and Genting Overseas Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GENT, in which KHR controls more than 20% of the voting share capital.

On account of Tan Sri Lim being a beneficiary of the discretionary trust, he is deemed interested in the shares of the Company and its subsidiaries (including RWS) by virtue of the deemed interest of Parkview.
Conflict of interest (including any competing business)
By virtue of Tan Sri Lim's positions and/or his indirect shareholding interests in GENT, GENM, Empire Resorts, Inc. (a holding company for various subsidiaries engaged in the hospitality and gaming industries) and companies engaged in the business of cruise and cruise related operations under the Dream Cruises and StarCruises brands, he is considered as having interests in businesses which may compete indirectly with the business of the Group (including RWS).

GENS's management team, which has management oversight over the Group (including RWS), is separate and independent from the aforementioned companies. Further, other than Tan Sri Lim, the GENS's Board of Directors comprises four Independent Non-Executive Directors.
