The Board's comments on this appointment (including rationale, selection criteria, and the search and nomination process)
This appointment is pursuant to the conditions precedent for the completion of the acquisition of the entire issued and paid-up share capital of Poh Huat Heng Corporation Pte. Ltd. ("PHH").

The Nominating Committee has considered that Mr Tan together with Mr Ng Chuan Heng (another director of the Company) and Mr Tan Jun Hao (together, the "PHH Vendors"), through a company known as Benetre Pte Ltd, indirectly hold 25% interest in a company known as Power Works Pte. Ltd. ("Power Works"), which is a major customer of PHH. Mr Tan, Mr Ng and Mr Tan Jun Hao are also directors of Power Works.

The Company's legal advisors have advised that the PHH Vendors' interests in Power Works do not constitute interested persons transactions as defined under the Listing Rules. The Board is of the view that while the PHH Vendors do not control Power Works in any way, their interest in Power Works will help to facilitate continuous business and contracts for PHH, which will in turn be advantageous to the Company. Having also assessed his qualifications and working experience, the Board unanimously agreed to the appointment of Mr Tan as an Executive Director of the Company.
