Description (Please provide a detailed description of the event in the box below)
The Ministry of Health has on 20 March 2020 issued a notification requiring events and gatherings with 250 or more participants in attendance at any one time to be suspended till 30 June 2020, as part of stricter safe distancing measure to prevent further spread of Covid-19 cases. In view of the foregoing, DBS Group Holdings Ltd will:

(i) restrict the number of attendees at the AGM to under 250 by imposing a mandatory pre-registration requirement; and

(ii) offer an option for DBS' shareholders to watch a live webcast of its AGM proceedings online via their mobile phones, tablets or computers.

Please see the attachment for more details on how shareholders can pre-register to watch the live webcast or to attend the AGM. Registrations will close at 2pm on 28 March 2020.

Important notes for shareholders:

(1) Due to the constantly evolving Covid-19 situation in Singapore, we may be required to change our AGM arrangements at short notice. Shareholders should check our DBS' website at https://www.dbs.com/investors/agm2020.page for updates on our AGM.

(2) Shareholders are strongly encouraged to register to watch the live webcast of the AGM, and to cast their votes by submitting proxy forms and appointing the "Chairman of the meeting" as their proxy.

(3) All shareholders are required to pre-register online if they would like to attend the AGM in person, or appoint a proxy to attend the AGM in person on their behalf. Pre-registration for attendance in person at the AGM is on a "first come first served" basis. Once the limit on the number of attendees who can attend our AGM in person is reached, this will be indicated on the pre-registration website and shareholders will not be able to pre-register their (or their proxies ) attendance.

(4) All shareholders who have already submitted proxy forms are also required to pre-register their proxies' attendance online.

(5) Shareholders who had successfully pre-registered their (or their proxies') attendance online will receive an email confirmation.

(6) On the day of the AGM, shareholders are required to bring their original NRIC/passport and email confirmation of attendance, and register their attendance at the AGM venue. We regret that shareholders (or their proxies) who do not have the email confirmation will not be allowed entry into the AGM venue.

(7) To reduce close contact, save for bottled water, no gift vouchers, food and beverages will be provided at the AGM. The amount budgeted for gift vouchers and refreshments will be donated to healthcare workers at the frontline of the fight against Covid-19.
