Notes:

On 3 April 2020, the Singapore Government announced the implementation of "circuit breaker" measures (enhanced safe distancing measures and closure of non-essential workplace premises) to curb the further spread of COVID-19. The COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 (the "Temporary Measures Act") was passed by Parliament on 7 April 2020 and the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Alternative Arrangements for Meetings for Companies, Variable Capital Companies, Business Trusts, Unit Trusts and Debenture Holders) Order 2020 (the "Meetings Orders") was issued by the Minister for Law on 13 April 2020 which provide, among others, legal certainty to enable issuers to make alternative arrangements to hold general meetings where personal attendance is required under written law or legal instruments (such as a company's constitution). The Meeting Orders have been extended from 30 September 2020 to 30 June 2021 and amendments to the Temporary Measures Act come into force on 29 September 2020. A joint statement was also issued on 13 April 2020, and subsequently updated on 27 April 2020 and 1 October 2020, by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Singapore Exchange Regulation providing guidance for listed and non-listed entities on the manner in which general meetings are to be conducted during the period when elevated safe distancing measures are in place. In view of these development, general meetings which held beyond 30 June 2021 can be held via electronic means, and are encouraged to do so. This will help keep physical interactions and COVID-19 transmission risks to a minimum, which remain important in the long term, even as safe distancing regulations are gradually and cautiously relaxed.
