The Subscription Shares, when issued and delivered, will be free from all pre-emption rights, charges, liens and other encumbrances and with all rights and benefits attaching thereto and shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares existing as at the date of the issuance of the Subscription Shares save for dividends, rights, allotments or other

4

2.4.3 The Proposed Placement will not result in a transfer of controlling interest of the Company within the definition of Rule 803 of the Catalist Rules and there are no share borrowing arrangements for the Proposed Placement. The Proposed Placement is not expected to give rise to any material conflicts of interest.

    The Company will be making an application, through its continuing sponsor, Novus Corporate Finance Pte.
