1. INTRODUCTION

  1. Mr Hui Choon Kit ("Mr Hui"), the CFO and Company Secretary of Fraser and Neave, Limited (the "Company" or "FNL", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), informed all present that the Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or the "Meeting") was being held by electronic means pursuant to the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Alternative Arrangements for Meetings for Companies, Variable Capital Companies, Business Trusts, Unit Trusts and Debenture Holders) Order 2020. Mr Hui explained that shareholders who were accessing the Meeting electronically would be treated as present and may be named in the attendance lists.
  2. Mr Hui informed the Meeting that Khun Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi ("Khun Charoen"), the Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Board"), would preside as Chairman of the AGM remotely from Bangkok, Thailand.
  3. Khun Charoen, speaking in Thai, welcomed all who were attending FNL's 122nd AGM. Khun Chotiphat Bijananda ("Khun Chotiphat"), a non-independent and non-executive Director, informed that Khun Charoen would conduct the Meeting in Thai, while he would assist Khun Charoen with the translation to English.
  4. Khun Charoen said that the Company's Share Registrar had informed him that there was a sufficient number of verified shareholders who were attending the Meeting electronically, such that the requisite quorum was present. He proposed all the Resolutions to be tabled at the Meeting, except for Resolution 10 on the proposed renewal of the mandate for interested person transactions. Khun Charoen stated that he would hand over the chair of the Meeting to Mr Koh Poh Tiong ("Mr Koh"), the Chairman of FNL's Board Executive Committee, when Resolution 10 was being considered.
  5. On Khun Charoen's request, Mr Hui introduced the members of the Board who were present physically and remotely at the Meeting.
  6. Mr Hui noted that as previously announced by the Company, there would be no live question and answer session at the AGM. He explained that the Company had invited members to submit questions in advance of the AGM. He thanked shareholders for their questions and informed the Meeting that responses to substantial and relevant questions received from shareholders had been published on SGXNet and on the Company's corporate website as soon as practicable after such questions were received by the Company.
