The Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors had reviewed the reason for Mr Ding's resignation as stated above, and had accepted his resignation (with a mutually agreed abridged notice period), notwithstanding the short tenure of Mr Ding's appointment as the CEO of the Company.

Following Mr Ding's resignation, Mr Lim Chap Huat, the Executive Chairman who is responsible for charting the strategic direction, business planning and development of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), will also assume the role of the CEO to run the day to day operations and implement the Group's strategies and policies, with the support from the Group's key management personnel ("KMP"), who have vast experience, knowledge and qualifications in the construction industry as well as familiarity with the Group through having served in various roles in the Group for periods ranging between 6 years to 33 years.

The Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors are confident that, with the continued dedication of Mr Lim Chap Huat and the KMP, the Group will be able to continue to execute its strategies of diversifying capabilities, internationalisation and the adoption of automated processes, in particular, the Group's expansion in the precast and prefabrication manufacturing business. The Group believes that its investment and commitment in the precast and prefabrication manufacturing business, led by a team of dedicated construction/precast concrete professionals, supporting the Construction Industry Transformation Map, will be an important part of its business strategy for the near future.

The Nominating Committee and the Board of Directors will also continue to review the overall continuing succession plan for the role of CEO.
