Note:

(1) Blue Water is an investment holding company which is equally owned by Charles Madhavan and Anthony Clive Reudavey (collectively, the “Blue Water Shareholders”).

2.3 Rationale and Benefi ts of the Acquisition

The Group is currently engaged in the (i) manufacturing of microshafts and plastic injection moulding parts; (ii) assembly of mechanisms and printed circuit board assembly used in a range of electronic products; and (iii) sourcing and marketing of component parts for the electronics industry.

The Target is an operating company with a proven track record of two (2) years in the Indonesian oil and gas resources sector. Its business model of reworking old wells enables its customers to minimise the risk of encountering dry wells. Its business model and the established track record of its Key Management Team underpin its positive growth prospects in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Target is the majority shareholder of PT Cepu which holds the exclusive rights to cooperate in conducting operations for extracting oil from the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields pursuant to the Tungkul Agreement and the Dandangilo Agreement, thus accounting for an initial 148 oil wells. PT Cepu also recently entered into the Kawengan Agreement pursuant to which PT Cepu has been granted the right to manage at least an additional 91 old oil wells.

The Target Group recorded no revenue in the fi nancial years ended 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012. The consolidated revenue of the Target Group for the last fi nancial year ended 31 December 2013 was approximately S$1.6 million. The consolidated loss after tax of the Target Group for the last three (3) fi nancial years ended 31 December 2011, 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2013 were approximately S$436, S$0.2 million and S$0.6 million respectively. Based on the unaudited consolidated income statements of the Target Group for the three (3) months ended 31 March 2014, the Target Group recorded revenue of approximately S$1.1 million and turned a profi t after tax of approximately S$0.17 million. Given the foregoing, the Board believes that the completion of the Acquisition will contribute positively to the future earnings of the Group and enhance shareholder value in the long term.

The relative shareholding of JPEL and GSIHL in the Target shall be adjusted in the event that any one of the PT SPJ and 1st KUD SP Mother Agreements, is (a) not renewed beyond its current term for another fi ve (5) years; or (b) terminated prior to the expiry of the current term (each, an “Adjustment Event”).

Upon the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the shareholding proportion of JPEL and GSIHL in the Target shall be adjusted such that the value of the GSIHL’s shareholding in the Target after such adjustment, as measured by its proportion of the Target Group’s consolidated net tangible assets on the relevant date of such Adjustment Event is equivalent to an aggregate of not less than: the Cash Consideration already paid by GSIHL to JPEL plus S$22,800,000 plus 10% internal rate of return on such amount of the Cash Consideration already paid (the “Benchmark”). In the event the value of GSIHL’s shareholding in the Target is less than the Benchmark, JPEL undertakes and agrees to transfer such number of shares in the Target to GSIHL such that the Benchmark is satisfi ed, or to GSIHL seeking additional recourse from JPEL to cover the shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustments to the shareholding proportion of JPEL and GSIHL in the Target is required if the Benchmark is satisfi ed.

As security for the obligations of JPEL in respect of the Adjustment Event, JPEL agrees to grant a fi rst priority interest over all of the shares owned by it in the Target, which total an aggregate of 538,421 shares (the “Pledged Shares”) in favour of GSIHL, and to enter into a share pledge (in a form acceptable to GSIHL) to effect this on the Completion Date. In the event that (a) the Pledged Shares are insuffi cient to discharge JPEL’s obligations; and (b) the Target issues new shares which are subscribed for by JPEL, such shares in the Target will similarly be subject to a share pledge in favour of GSIHL, as security for the obligations of JPEL in respect of the Adjustment Event.

2.4.7 Right to Appoint Directors

On or after Completion:

(a) the Company shall have the right to appoint directors (and if applicable, commissioners) in all the Target Group companies, and shall have control of the Target Group in a manner that allows the Company to consolidate the Target Group’s fi nancials in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards; and

(b) for so long as JPEL holds not less than 15% of the issued share capital of the Company, JPEL shall have the right to nominate two (2) directors to the board of directors of the Company for the nominating committee’s consideration (such consideration shall be in good faith), and in the event that the nominating committee does not recommend the appointment of any of the nominees of JPEL to the board of directors of the Company, JPEL shall have the right to continue nominating alternative individuals for the nominating committee’s consideration. Lee Kok Wah has been nominated by JPEL as its nominee, and has been appointed as a Director; and

(c) the remuneration of the directors and commissioners of the companies within the Target Group shall be subject to the prior approval of GSIHL.

2.4.8 Service Agreements

As disclosed in Section 2.4.3(m) of this Circular, a condition precedent to completion of the Acquisition is the entry by each of Charles Madhavan, Muhammad Saleh and Ario Djoko Damar into a service agreement with the Company, the Target or PT Cepu, on terms satisfactory to GSIHL. JPEL intends to appoint two (2) directors to the board of directors of the Company. The Company will provide details of any service agreement(s) entered into with a director nominated by JPEL and appointed to the Board in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Manual in due course.

2.4.9 Transfer of Target’s Shares

On or after the date of renewal of both the PT SPJ and 1st KUD SP Mother Agreements for an additional 5-year term from each of their respective expiry dates, if JPEL intends to (directly or indirectly) offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of its remaining shares in the Target, JPEL shall fi rst offer such shares to GSIHL by notifying GSIHL according to the terms set out in the SPA.

2.4.10 Shareholder’s Loan

On the Completion Date, GSIHL shall extend to the Target a shareholder’s loan of S$6,250,000 for a period of three (3) years at an interest rate of 5% per annum (subject to withholding tax gross-up if applicable) (the “Shareholder’s Loan”) in order that the Target may extend to PT Cepu the equivalent amount as the shareholder’s loan to be applied by PT Cepu as working capital.

The Shareholder’s Loan is immediately repayable to GSIHL upon demand if either of the PT SPJ and 1st KUD SP Mother Agreements is not renewed beyond its current term for another fi ve (5) years. Please refer to Section 6 of this Circular for more information relating to the funding of the Shareholder’s Loan.

The Shareholder’s Loan will be used by the Target in the following estimated proportions:

Use of Proceeds Percentage Allocation (%)

Repayment of temporary loan extended from JPEL to Target Approximately 15% to 40%

General working capital of the Target Group (e.g. salaries, operational expenses and general administrative expenses)

Approximately 60% to 85%

2.4.11 Source of Funds

On 11 July 2014, the Company entered into a Placement Agreement with the Placement Agent to place up to 80,000,000 Placement Shares at a Placement Price of not less than S$0.30 per Placement Share amounting to an aggregate amount of up to S$24,000,000 (assuming 80,000,000 Placement Shares are placed at the minimum Placement Price of S$0.30 per Placement Share. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Placement primarily to fund the First Tranche of the Cash Consideration and the Shareholder’s Loan (to be extended by the Purchaser to the Target).

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

3. TRANSFER OF CONTROLLING INTEREST IN THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE CONSIDERATION SHARES TO JPEL

Rule 803 of the Listing Manual provides that an issuer must not issue securities to transfer a Controlling Interest without prior approval of shareholders in general meeting. Under the Listing Manual, a Controlling Shareholder is a person who directly or indirectly holds 15% or more of the nominal amount of all voting shares in the Company, or a person who in fact exercises control over the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, JPEL does not hold any Shares. Assuming that all the Transactions have been completed, and that the maximum number of 80,000,000 Placement Shares is placed out by the Placement Agent, JPEL will hold approximately 16.1% of the enlarged and issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) immediately after completion of the Transactions.

In addition, as disclosed in Section 2.4.7(b) of this Circular, for as long as JPEL holds not less than 15% of the Shares, JPEL shall have the right to nominate two (2) directors to the board of directors of the Company for the nominating committee’s consideration (such consideration shall be in good faith), and in the event that the nominating committee does not recommend the appointment of any of the nominees of JPEL to the board of directors of the Company, JPEL shall have the right to continue nominating alternative individuals for the nominating committee’s consideration.

Accordingly, the Transactions would constitute a transfer of a Controlling Interest in the Company and is subject to the approval of the Shareholders for the purposes of Rule 803 of the Listing Manual. Further, as the issue price of S$0.30 per Consideration Share represents a discount of approximately 20.9% to the VWAP of S$0.3793 of the Shares for trades done on the SGX-ST on 30 May 2014 (being the last full market day on which the Shares were traded prior to the date the SPA was signed), the Company will also be obtaining the Shareholders approval in accordance with Rule 811 of the Listing Manual.

4. THE PROPOSED DIVERSIFICATION INTO THE NEW BUSINESS

4.1 The New Business

In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Group will diversify its business to include the exploration, exploitation and production of oil and gas as well as the provision of services to the upstream oil and gas sector. This includes the business of the Target Group, which involves the operation and production of oil in the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the management of the Kawengan Oil Field. Pursuant to the Tungkul Agreement and the Dandangilo Agreement, PT Cepu is responsible for the operations of the old wells, including the procurement of equipment, transportation of the oil, manpower and injecting working capital, and for funding the drilling and the operational costs of the old oil wells and bearing the costs incurred for deepening wells. In return for its operational services, it has the right to acquire a substantial proportion of the revenues arising from the oil that is produced. Please refer to Sections 2.1.1 and 2.4.4 of this Circular for more information on the business of the Target Group.

Business Scope

The New Business of exploration, exploitation and production of oil and gas may be broadly classifi ed into two (2) phases, being (a) the exploration phase; and (b) the exploitation and production phase.

(a) Exploration phase

The exploration phase includes, but is not limited to, some or all of the following activities to locate and determine the commercial viability of oil and gas reserves:

obtaining the relevant licences and concessions to undertake exploratory activities;

Page 26: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

26

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

gathering and interpreting, inter alia, seismic, geological and metallurgical information; and

undertaking exploration and appraisal drilling to verify the existence of the oil and gas reserves and to determine the extent and commercial viability of the oil and gas reserves.

(b) Exploitation and Production Phase

The exploitation and production phase includes, but is not limited to, some or all of the following activities:

obtaining the relevant licences and concessions to undertake extraction and production activities;

preparing the relevant production and development plans;

site preparation, and the installing and/or operating the required equipment to drill, extract, separate, store and/or transport the oil and gas;

entry into off-take agreements with third parties for the supply of oil and gas produced;

refi ning of extracted oil and gas into various products such as gasoline or diesel for further sale and distribution; and

maintenance of related plant and equipment.

The Group does not intend for the New Business to be restricted to any geographical area or to any particular phase or activity of the New Business.

The Diversifi cation into the New Business may be effected through investments or acquisitions of other entities or other investment structures in the New Business, joint ventures and/or directly undertaking the New Business, as and when the opportunity arises.

The Company will assess and consider factors such as whether it has the necessary fi nancing and technical expertise for the investment, acquisition and/or direct undertaking, the then existing market conditions and timing of the investment, acquisition and/or direct undertaking, the revenue which the opportunity may generate, and the standing and contribution of its business or joint venture partner, if any, before proceeding with such investment, acquisition and/or direct undertaking.

Rationale and Benefi ts

The rationale and benefi ts of the Acquisition and the Diversifi cation are set out in Sections 2.3 and 6 of this Circular.

4.2 Risk Factors

The Board believes that the Diversifi cation constitutes a fundamental change of the Company’s business and will materially change the risk profi le of the Company.

Any of the risks described below could materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to comply with its obligations, including those under the Listing Manual, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s or the Group’s business, fi nancial condition, operations and prospects. In that event, the market price of the Shares could decline, and Shareholders may lose all or part of their investments in the Shares. The risks and uncertainties described below are not intended to be exhaustive and are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Group may face. The Group could be affected by a number of risks which relate to the industries and

Page 27: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

27

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

countries in which the Group intends to operate as well as those which may generally arise from, inter alia, economic, business, market and political factors, including the risks set out herein. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or the Group or that the Company or the Group currently deem immaterial may also impair the Company’s or the Group’s business, fi nancial condition, operations and prospects. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements and the Company’s and the Group’s actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Subheadings are for convenience only and risk factors that appear under a particular sub-heading may also apply to one or more other sub-headings.

4.2.1 Risks Relating to the Group

(a) The New Business is dependent on the oil and gas industry

The New Business will be largely dependent on the oil and gas industry, in particular the level of activities in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas. Such activities are affected by factors such as fl uctuations in oil and gas prices and by other general economic factors, as well as by the industry’s view of future economic growth and the resulting impact on demand for oil and gas and the expectations of potential customers in respect of changes in oil and gas prices and the related changes in their capital spending.

The prices of oil and gas are volatile and affected by supply and demand. They in turn will affect the level of capital spending by companies in the oil and gas industry. Low oil and gas prices tend to reduce the amount of oil and gas that producers can produce economically. When this occurs, major oil and gas companies generally reduce their spending budgets for drilling, exploration and development. Any decline in the level of activities in the oil and gas industry may result in a decrease in demand for the New Business.

The above are factors beyond the control of the Group. As a result, the timing, nature and degree of changes in industry conditions are unpredictable. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to obtain the fi nancing necessary in time to develop relevant opportunities for the New Business that may arise. There can be no assurance that the activity levels of exploration, development and production activities of the Oil Fields will remain at their current levels or continue to increase. Any prolonged period of low exploration, development and production activity or decrease in demand for oil and gas would be likely to have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, fi nancial performance, fi nancial condition and operating cash fl ow.

(b) The Mother Agreements may not be renewed

The Target Group has entered into the Tungkul Agreement and the Dandangilo Agreement under which PT Cepu holds the exclusive rights to cooperate in conducting operations for extracting oil from the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields. The Tungkul Agreement took effect from 28 February 2013 and is expected to expire in February 2023. The Dandangilo Agreement took effect from 25 March 2013 and is expected to expire in March 2023. The Target Group has also entered into the Kawengan Agreement pursuant to which PT Cepu has been granted the right to manage at least 91 old oil wells located in the Village Kawengan, District Kedewan, Bojonegoro. The Kawengan Agreement was entered into on 20 June 2014 and is expected to expire in June 2024.

However, the Mother Agreements, which underlie the Tungkul Agreement, the Dandangilo Agreement and the Kawengan Agreement are valid for a fi ve (5) year period and may be renewed for a period of fi ve (5) years upon prior written application by PT SPJ or KUD SP (as the case may be) to PEP. The agreement between PEP and PT SPJ is due to expire in November 2015 while the agreement between PEP and KUD SP is due to expire in October 2017. The renewal of the Mother Agreements is subject to the discretion of

Page 28: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

28

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

the PEP to further request approval from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to renew the Concessions granted in respect of the Oil Fields. Therefore, the validity of the Tungkul Agreement, the Dandangilo Agreement and the Kawengan Agreement is also subject to such approvals. Please refer to Section 2.4.4 of this Circular for more information.

The non-renewal of the relevant Mother Agreements would impact the Group’s operation of the Oil Fields, and the Group’s results of operations and fi nancial conditions could be materially and adversely affected.

(c) The Mother Agreements may not be renewed on similar terms

Assuming the Mother Agreements are renewed, there is no guarantee that the Mother Agreements will be renewed on the terms as favourable as those in the expired agreements. If the Mother Agreements are renewed on less favourable terms, the Group’s results of operations and fi nancial conditions could be materially and adversely affected.

(d) The Group will have no control over oil prices which is fi xed by PEP

The New Business is currently dependent upon PEP as the Target’s only customer. PEP has the right to fi x the price and the exchange rate at which the oil extracted is sold, and has on occasion, sold oil below market prices. The Group will therefore have no control over the pricing of the oil extracted and sold. Unfavourable terms in pricing may have an adverse effect on the Group’s operating results.

(e) The rights and obligations under the Mother Agreements cannot be assigned to

third parties

It is a term of the Mother Agreements that each of PT SPJ and KUD SP is prohibited from assigning part or all of its rights and obligations under the respective agreements. Pursuant to the Mother Agreements, each of PT SPJ and KUD SP is responsible for the operation of the oil wells and the delivery of oil from the oil wells within the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields. There is a risk that the Cooperation Agreements signed between each of PT SPJ and KUD SP with the Target may be viewed as an assignment of PT SPJ and KUD SP’s obligations and may be taken to be a breach of the Mother Agreements, as the Tungkul Agreement and the Dandangilo Agreement each provide that the Target is obliged to operate the oil wells and to deliver the oil on behalf of each of PT SPJ and KUD SP while the Kawengan Agreement provides that the Target is responsible for the funding the drilling and the operational costs of the old oil wells.

(f) The Group may be subject to risks arising from foreign exchange fl uctuations

The business of the Group is denominated in Singapore Dollars while the business of the Target Group, its cost of sales and operating expenses are denominated in Indonesian Rupiah. Any signifi cant unfavourable fl uctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the Company’s functional currency may have an adverse effect on its operating results.

(g) The Group has no prior track record in the New Business and the New Business may not be viable or successful

As the Group does not have a proven track record in the exploration, exploitation and production of oil and gas or in the business of cooperating to conduct operations for extracting oil, the New Business may not be commercially viable or successful. Unsuccessful attempts to undertake the New Business may have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, fi nancial condition and results of operations.

Page 29: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

29

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

The exploration, exploitation and production of oil and gas may require substantial capital expenditure and investment costs before they reach a revenue producing stage. Hence, in the event that the Group engages in such activities pursuant to the New Business, the Group may not be able to generate positive cash fl ows from such activities immediately. A cash fl ow defi cit may have a negative impact on the working capital and the fi nancial position of the Group. Furthermore, as such business activities may need time to generate profi ts, to the extent that the Group is unable to generate suffi cient profi ts from its existing business and the New Business to cover its operating costs, the Group will suffer an adverse effect on its business, fi nancial performance, fi nancial condition and operating cash fl ow.

(h) Current management may not have the expertise to ensure success

As the New Business is a new area of business to the Group, the Group will face the usual risks, uncertainties and problems associated with the entry into any new business which it has no prior track record in. These risks, uncertainties and problems include, among other things, the inability to fi nd the right joint venture, strategic or other business partnerships, the inability to manage expanding operations and costs, failure to attract and retain customers, diffi culty in establishing a database of suppliers, failure to provide the results, level of revenue and margins the Group is expecting and failure to identify, attract, retain and motivate qualifi ed personnel.

In addition, the Group’s current management may not have the relevant expertise to ensure success in these areas. The Group may also face diffi culties in recruiting skilled and qualifi ed personnel in the New Business due to its specialised nature. If the Group is unable to attract and retain a suffi cient number of suitably skilled and qualifi ed personnel, the Group’s business, results of operations and fi nancial conditions being materially adversely affected.

(i) The success of the New Business is dependent on the Key Management Team

The success of the New Business is dependent, to a large extent, on the continued efforts, skills and services of the Key Management Team of the Target, who are responsible for formulating and implementing the Target Group’s business plans and driving its growth and corporate development. In particular, Charles Madhavan, the Managing Director of the Target has overall responsibility for the operations of the Target Group. He is supported by Muhammad Saleh, the President Director of the Target, and other members of the Key Management Team. There is no assurance that the Group will be able to retain their services. Please refer to Section 2.1.2 of the Circular for details of their qualifi cations and working experience. The loss of services of one or more of these individuals without suitable and/or timely replacements and an inability to attract or retain new qualifi ed personnel will have a material adverse impact on the Group’s operations and fi nancial performance.

(j) Inability to complete the Placement

There is no assurance that the Placement will be completed. As disclosed in Section 2.4.3(c) of the Circular, the completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon the completion of the Placement. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Placement to fund the First Tranche of the Cash Consideration and the Shareholders’ Loan. If the Company is unable to complete the Placement, the Company will not be able to complete the Acquisition. The Group could suffer a material adverse effect on its business, fi nancial performance, fi nancial condition, results of operations and prospects due to the amount of resources spent on the Acquisition, the loss of the business opportunities which would have been available to the Group as a result of the acquisition of the Target Group, and the negative impact on the Company’s brand image.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(k) The Target Group has a limited operating history as a company and has incurred losses in certain years since incorporation

The Target Group has a limited operating history upon which the Company based its evaluation of the Target Group’s business and prospects. As a company in the early stages of development, there are substantial risks, uncertainties, expenses and diffi culties to which the business of the Target Group is subject. To address these risks and uncertainties, the Target Group must successfully develop and execute its business strategy and respond to competitive developments. There can be no assurance that it will be able to manage effectively the expansion of its operations through organic growth or acquisitions.

The Target Group has incurred losses in each of FY2011, FY2012 and FY2013. Please refer to Section 2.1.3 of this Circular for more information on the Target Group’s fi nancial information. There can be no assurance that it will earn signifi cant profi ts or any profi ts from operations at all, which could impact its ability to sustain operations, bring operations to a point where it is able to make full use of its rights to cost recovery petroleum, or obtain any additional funds it may require in the future to satisfy requirements beyond its current committed capital expenditure. The Group cannot be certain that the Target Group will successfully develop and implement its business strategy or that it will successfully address the risks that face its business. In the event that the Target Group does not successfully address these risks, the Group’s business, fi nancial condition, prospects, results of operations, could be materially and adversely affected.

(l) Certain fi nancial information of the Target Group is unaudited

The fi nancial information of the Target Group for each of FY2011, FY2013 and 3M2014 included in this Circular has not been audited. Please refer to Sections 2.1.3 and 7 of this Circular for the fi nancial information of the Target Group. In particular, the fi nancial effects of the Acquisition set out in Section 7 have been calculated based on the unaudited consolidated statements of the Target for FY2013. There can be no assurance that, had an audit been conducted in respect of such fi nancial information, the information presented therein would not have been materially different, and Shareholders should not place undue reliance on them.

(m) Future acquisitions, joint ventures or other arrangements may expose the Group to increased business and operating risks

The Group may, as a matter of business strategy, invest in or acquire other entities engaged in the New Business, or enter into joint ventures or other investment structures in connection with the New Business. Acquisitions that the Group may make, along with potential joint ventures and other investments, may expose the Group to additional business and operating risks and uncertainties, including:

direct and indirect costs in connection with the transaction;

the inability to effectively integrate and manage acquired business;

the inability or unwillingness of joint venture partners to fulfi l their obligations under the relevant joint venture agreements;

the inability of the Group to exert control over strategic decisions made by these companies;

time and resources expended to coordinate internal systems, controls, procedures and policies;

disruption in ongoing business and the diversion of management’s time and attention from other business concerns;

Page 31: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

31

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

the risk of entering markets in which the Group may have no or limited prior experience;

the potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired businesses;

the risk that an investment or acquisition may reduce the Group’s future earnings; and

exposure to unknown liabilities.

If the Group is unable to successfully implement the Group’s acquisition or expansion strategy or address the risks associated with acquisitions or expansions, or if the Group encounters unforeseen expenses, diffi culties, complications or delays frequently encountered in connection with the integration of acquired entities and the expansion of operations, the Group’s growth and ability to compete may be impaired, the Group may fail to achieve acquisition synergies and the Group may be required to focus resources on integration of operations rather than on the Group’s primary business.

Should these occur, the Group’s business, fi nancial performance, fi nancial condition and operating cash fl ow may be adversely affected.

(n) Dilutive effect on the Company’s Shares

The Group may make future acquisitions or enter into fi nancings or other transactions involving the issuance of securities of the Company which may have a dilutive effect on the Company’s Shares. For example, the Company may issue further Shares in the future to fi nance the Second Tranche of the Cash Consideration.

4.2.2 Risks Relating to the New Business and the Oil and Gas Industry

(a) Reserve and resource estimates depend on several assumptions that may turn out to be inaccurate

This Circular includes estimates of the reserves and contingent and prospective resources for the Target-operated areas in the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul fi elds. The process of estimating hydrocarbon quantities is complex, requiring interpretations of available technical data and many assumptions made in a particular price environment. Any signifi cant deviations from these interpretations, prices or assumptions could materially affect the estimated quantities of hydrocarbons reported. The uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of hydrocarbons include, inter alia, the following:

variable factors and assumptions such as historical production from the Oil Fields;

the quality and quantity of technical and economic data;

the prevailing oil and natural gas prices applicable to production;

drilling and operating expenses, capital expenditures, taxes and the availability of funds ;

debt and equity;

the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies and future operating costs;

the production performance of the reserves; and

extensive engineering, geological and geophysical judgments.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Understanding of the subsurface conditions is based on the Group’s interpretation of the best data available but due to the inherent uncertainty of such interpretation, it may reach incorrect conclusions. The reserves and contingent and prospective resources data set out in this Circular represents estimates only and represents quantities estimated at a given point in time. Many of the factors, assumptions and variables involved in estimating hydrocarbon volumes are beyond the Group’s control and may prove incorrect over time. Estimates of the commercially recoverable hydrocarbon volumes attributable to any particular contract area, classifi cation of such hydrocarbons volumes based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues expected, prepared by different persons at different times, may vary substantially. In the event that actual production with respect to these hydrocarbons volumes is lower than these estimates and/or actual future prices are materially lower, the Group’s revenue and therefore its results of operations and fi nancial condition will be adversely affected.

The uncertainties inherent in estimating oil and gas resources and reserves are generally greater for areas where there has been limited historic hydrocarbon exploration, such as in the case of contingent, and in particular, prospective resource estimates, which are derived from the interpretation of seismic and other geoscientifi c data and where appropriate, drilling results. Such interpretation and estimates of the amounts of oil and gas resources are subjective and the production results subsequent to the date of any particular estimate may result in substantial revisions to the original interpretation and estimates, including the recoverability and commerciality of the reserves and resources.

(b) Fluctuations in the Group’s turnover due to unfavourable environmental conditions

A key factor that may lead to the fl uctuations in turnover for the New Business is the environmental changes in the areas in which the Group proposes to conduct its exploration, exploitation and production of oil and gas. In the event where there are drastic changes in the climate and extreme weather conditions, it may be more diffi cult or not feasible to conduct the New Business, and actual revenue may be signifi cantly lower than expected. The Group will be unable to mitigate the impact of environmental conditions on its results of operations. Negative environmental conditions may impact the production of oil and gas, as it may entail work stoppages and the suspension of operations, thus the Group’s results of operations and fi nancial conditions could be materially and adversely affected.

(c) Uncertainties on securing additional funding for business development

The Group’s growth strategy to undertake the New Business is capital intensive and requires substantial funding. The ability of the Group to arrange fi nancing and the cost of such fi nancing are dependent on global economic conditions, capital and debt market conditions, lending policies of the government and banks, and other factors. The Group’s business may not be able to generate suffi cient cash fl ows to fund investment and/or expansion opportunities. Unless the Group can do so through internal sources, it will be required to fi nance the cash needs through public or private equity offerings, bank loans and/or other debt fi nancing. There can be no assurance that international or domestic fi nancing for the New Business and necessary equipment that the Group may acquire or develop will be available on terms favourable to the Group or at all. The Group may have to delay, adjust, reduce or abandon its planned growth strategies. In the event that the Company does obtain bank loans or debt fi nancing but is unable to meet the fi nancing expenses of such, its business performance may be adversely affected.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(d) Disruptions to business caused by factors, such as natural disasters and human fault

The oil and gas fi elds that the Group conducts its operations for extracting oil or that the Group may acquire and develop may be damaged by fl ooding, drought, debris fl ow, landslide, earthquake, other natural disasters, human error, fault or negligence or the operations may have to be suspended during repair of the damaged plants and/or equipment or when there is a drought. The pipelines used to carry the oil and gas are vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquakes, debris fl ow, landslide, storms and fl oods, as well as disasters caused by human actions such as terrorist attacks, military conflicts and other deliberate or inadvertent actions which may affect the smooth transportation of the oil and gas mined. The operations of the New Business may be seriously disrupted by such disasters which may materially and adversely affect the Group’s results of operations.

(e) Inadequate insurance coverage to cover all liabilities

The Group’s involvement in the New Business may result in the Group becoming subject to liability for pollution, blowouts, property damage, personal injury or other hazards. Although the Group intends to obtain insurance in accordance with industry standards to address such risks, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be suffi cient to cover the full extent of such liabilities. In addition, such risks may not in all circumstances be insurable or, in certain circumstances, the Group may elect not to obtain insurance to deal with specifi c risks due to the high premiums associated with such insurance or other reasons. The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to the Group. The occurrence of a signifi cant event that the Group is not fully insured against, or the insolvency of the insurer of such event, could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s fi nancial position, results of operations or prospects.

(f) Health, safety, operational and environmental hazards

The ownership and/or the operation of the oil and gas fi elds carry an inherent risk of liability related to worker health and safety and the environment, including the risk of government imposed orders to remedy unsafe conditions and/or to remediate or otherwise address environmental contamination, potential penalties for contravention of health, safety and environmental laws, licenses, permits and other approvals, and potential civil liability. Environmental legislation may also provide for, among other things, restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with oil and gas operations. Legislation may also require that wells and facility sites be operated, maintained, abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of applicable regulatory authorities. Furthermore, environmental legislation is evolving in a manner expected to result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fi nes and liability and potentially increased capital expenditures and operating costs. The discharge of oil, natural gas or other pollutants into the air, soil or water may give rise to liabilities to governments and third parties and may require the Group to incur costs to remedy such discharge.

Compliance with health, safety and environmental laws (and any future changes) and the requirements of licenses, permits and other approvals will remain material to the New Business. The Group will incur signifi cant capital and operating expenditures to comply with health, safety and environmental laws and to obtain and comply with licenses, permits and other approvals and to assess and manage its potential liability exposure. Nevertheless, the Group may become subject to government orders, investigations, inquiries or other proceedings (including civil claims) relating to health, safety and environmental matters.

Page 34: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

34

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

The occurrence of any of these events or any changes, additions to or more rigorous enforcement of, health, safety and environmental laws, licenses, permits or other approvals could have a signifi cant impact on operations and/or result in additional material expenditures. As a consequence, no assurances can be given that additional environmental and workers’ health and safety issues relating to presently known or unknown matters will not require unanticipated expenditures, or result in fi nes, penalties or other consequences (including changes to operations) material to the Group’s business and operations.

(g) Changes in tax regulations

The Group’s operations in the oil and gas exploration, exploitation and production business are subject to taxation in the countries which the Group may operate in, including Indonesia, and it could be faced with increasingly complex tax laws. The amount of tax the Group pays could increase substantially as a result of changes in or new interpretations of these laws, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s liquidity and results of operations.

During periods of high profi tability, there may be calls for increased or windfall taxes on the revenue of energy resources. Taxes may increase or be imposed consequently. In addition, taxing authorities could review and question the Group’s tax returns leading to additional taxes and penalties which could have a material adverse effect on the fi nancial position of the Group.

(h) Fluctuations in interest rates and refi nancing risks

Interest rate fl uctuations are of particular concern to a capital-intensive industry such as that of exploration, exploitation and production of oil and gas. The Group faces interest rate and debt refi nancing risk in respect of fl oating-rate bank credit facilities and long-term fi nancings. The Group’s ability to refi nance debt on favourable terms is dependent on debt capital market conditions, which are inherently variable and diffi cult to predict.

(i) Failure of major counterparties to perform contractual obligations

The Group may enter into contracts with third-party counterparties, such as suppliers and contractors, to supply equipment or services for the New Business. Should one or more of these counterparties, such as the Group’s suppliers and/or contractors, be unable to meet their obligations under the contracts, this would result in possible loss of revenue, delay in production and increase in costs for the Group. Failure of any supplier and/or contractors to meet its obligations to the Group may result in the Group not being able to meet its commitments and thus lead to potential defaults of contracts with its customers.

(j) Reliance on access to necessary equipment from independent third-party providers

Part of PT Cepu’s obligations pursuant to the Tungkul Agreement and the Dandangilo Agreement is to procure equipment for the operation and management of the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields, as well as to deliver the crude oil produced to PEP.

The fulfi lment of these obligations is dependent upon the availability of drilling and related

equipment in the particular areas where the production and extraction of crude oil is conducted. Demand for limited equipment such as drilling rigs, or access restrictions on such equipment, may affect the availability of, and the Target Group’s access to, such equipment. In the areas in which it operates there is signifi cant demand for drilling rigs and other related equipment and even if it is successful in obtaining access to drilling rigs and other equipment, it may only be after signifi cant delay. Failure by the Target Group or its contractors to secure necessary equipment could have a material and adverse effect on its business, results of operations, fi nancial condition and prospects.

Page 35: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

35

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

PT Cepu contracts or leases services and capital equipment from third-party providers and will continue to do so. Such equipment and services may be scarce and not readily available. In addition, costs of third-party services and equipment have increased signifi cantly over recent years and may continue to rise. Scarcity of equipment and services and increased prices may in particular result from any signifi cant increase in exploration and development activities on a region by region basis. In the regions in which the Target Group operates, there is signifi cant demand for capital equipment and services. The unavailability and high costs of such equipment and services could result in a delay or non-completion of its projects and adversely affect the feasibility and profi tability of such projects, and therefore have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations, fi nancial condition and prospects.

PT Cepu and its offtaker, PEP, rely upon transportation systems, including systems owned and operated by third parties for the transport of oil and gas. It may be unable to access the transportation systems used currently or face diffi culty sourcing for alternative transportation systems. Further, PEP could become subject to increased tariffs imposed by government regulators or the third-party operators or owners of the transportation systems which could result in an increase in costs and a decrease in the profi t margins.

Additionally, importation of certain equipment and chemicals for drilling, exploration and production requires licenses of the relevant governmental agencies and the process of obtaining such licences may cause unexpected delay and substantial costs.

(k) Reliance on the discovery and development of additional reserves to replace produced reserves

The success of the New Business is dependent upon the continual acquisition, exploration or development of new oil and gas reserves to replace those produced and sold. If the Group is unsuccessful in locating and developing or acquiring new reserves, its ability to exploit and produce will decline over time due to depletion by production. The Group’s ability to achieve this objective of continual replacement of oil and gas reserves depends, in part, on its level of success in acquiring additional oil and gas reserves, and further exploration and development of the existing reserves base. Such exploration and development activities would expose the Group to a number of risks, including competition from other interested purchasers who may have larger fi nancial resources than it does; unidentifi ed historical or future liabilities of the operations that it may acquire; the inability to receive accurate and timely information about these operations in order to make informed investment decisions; problems in integrating acquired operations; problems in hiring and retaining qualifi ed personnel; as well as the geological risk that commercially recoverable reserves will not be discovered.

Exploration, development and the acquisition of reserves are capital intensive. If the Group is not successful in exploring for or developing new reserves, or acquiring contract areas containing proved plus probable reserves, its total proved plus probable reserves will decline, which will adversely affect its business, results of operations, fi nancial condition and prospects.

(l) Unanticipated increased or incremental risks

The oil and gas industry is capital intensive. To implement the business strategy for the New Business, the Group will invest in drilling and exploration activities and infrastructure. The Group’s current and planned expenditures on such projects may be subject to unexpected problems, costs and delays, and the economic results and the actual costs of these projects may differ signifi cantly from its current estimates.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

The Group relies on suppliers and contractors to provide materials and services in conducting its exploration and production activities. Any competitive pressures on its suppliers and contractors, or substantial increases in the worldwide prices of commodities, such as steel, could result in a material increase of costs for the materials and services required to conduct its business. The cost increases may be the result of infl ationary pressures. For example, due to high global demand and a limited number of suppliers, the cost of oil and gas services and goods has increased signifi cantly in recent years and could continue to increase. Future increases could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s operating income, cash fl ows and borrowing capacity and may require a reduction in the carrying value of its contract areas and its planned level of spending for exploration and development, which depends upon its ability to commercially exploit any underlying petroleum quantities. Prices for the materials and services it depends on to conduct its business may not be sustained at levels that enable the Group to operate profi tably. The Group may also need to incur various unanticipated costs, such as those associated with personnel, transportation, government taxes and compliance with environmental and safety requirements. Personnel costs, including salaries, are increasing as the standard of living rises in the countries in which the Group operates, and as demand for suitably qualifi ed personnel in the oil and gas industry increases. An increase in any of these costs could have a material and adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations, fi nancial condition and prospects.

(m) Exposure to foreign exchange risks

The revenue from the New Business will be generated from sales to markets, which may include overseas markets. To the extent that the Group’s revenue, purchases and operating costs are not matched in the same currency, such as the Indonesian Rupiah, and to the extent there are timing differences between invoicing and collection of payment, as the case may be, the Group will be exposed to any adverse fl uctuations of the currency of the jurisdiction in which the Group will be engaging in to conduct its business, and the Group’s operating results may be materially or adversely affected.

(n) The New Business is subject to general risks associated with operating businesses outside Singapore

There are risks inherent in operating businesses overseas, which include unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, social and political instability, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, potentially adverse tax consequences, legal uncertainties regarding the Group’s liability and enforcement, changes in local laws and controls on the repatriation of capital or profi ts. Any of these risks could adversely affect the Group’s overseas operations and consequently, its business, fi nancial performance, fi nancial condition and operating cash fl ow.

In addition, if the governments of countries in which the Group operates, such as Indonesia, tightens or otherwise adversely changes their laws and regulations relating to the repatriation of their local currencies, it may affect the ability of the Group’s overseas operations to repatriate profi ts to the Group and, accordingly, the cash fl ow of the Group will be adversely affected.

(o) The Group’s ability to borrow in the bank or capital markets may be adversely affected by a fi nancial crisis

The Group’s ability to borrow from banks or the capital markets to meet its fi nancial requirements is dependent on favourable market conditions. Financial crises in particular geographic regions, industries or economic sectors for example, the United States sub-prime mortgage crisis and the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the United States, have, in the recent past, led and could in the future lead to sharp declines in the currencies, stock markets and other asset prices in those geographic regions, industries or economic sectors, in turn threatening affected companies, fi nancial systems and economies.

37

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(p) Inability to locate, acquire, develop or produce oil and gas reserves

The Group’s long-term commercial success will depend on its ability to locate, acquire, develop and commercially produce oil and gas reserves. Without the continual addition of new reserves, any existing reserves that the Group may have at any particular time and the production therefrom will decline over time as existing reserves are exploited. A future increase in the Group’s reserves will depend not only on its ability to explore and develop any existing assets it may have from time to time, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable production fi elds or prospects. No assurance can be given that the Group will be able to continue to locate satisfactory production fi elds for its acquisition or participation. Moreover, even if such acquisitions or participations are identifi ed, the Group may determine that the current market, terms of acquisition and participation or pricing conditions make such acquisitions or participations uneconomic. There is no assurance that further commercial quantities of oil and gas will be discovered or acquired by the Group.

(q) Inability to predict future oil and gas revenues

Future oil and gas exploration may prove to be unprofi table, as wells may be dry or may be productive but produce insuffi cient net revenues to return a profi t after drilling, operating and other costs. Completion of a well does not assure a profi t on the investment or recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. Furthermore, drilling hazards or environmental damage could greatly increase the cost of operations, and various fi eld operating conditions may adversely affect the production from successful wells. These conditions include delays in obtaining governmental approvals or consents, shut-ins of connected wells resulting from extreme weather conditions, insufficient storage or transportation capacity or other geological and mechanical conditions. While diligent supervision of the wells and effective maintenance operations can contribute to maximising production rates over time, production delays and declines from normal fi eld operating conditions cannot be eliminated and can be expected to adversely affect revenue and cash fl ow levels on the Group’s fi nancials to varying degrees.

(r) Volatility of markets, prices and marketing

The marketability and price of oil and gas that may be produced, acquired or discovered by the Group will be affected by numerous factors beyond its control. Although not currently applicable in relation to the proposed Acquisition, in the future, depending on the future activities of the Group, the Group’s ability to market its oil and gas may depend upon its ability to acquire space on pipelines that deliver oil and gas to commercial markets. Depending on the future activities of the Group, the Group may also be affected by deliverability uncertainties related to the proximity of its reserves to pipelines and processing facilities and related to operational problems with such pipelines and facilities and extensive government regulation relating to price, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, the export of oil and gas and many other aspects of the oil and gas business.

Both oil and gas prices are unstable and are subject to fl uctuation. Any material decline in prices could result in a reduction of the Group’s net production revenue. The economics of producing from some wells may change as a result of lower prices, which could result in a reduction in the volumes of the Group’s reserves. The Group might also elect not to produce from certain wells at lower prices. All of these factors could result in a material decrease in the Group’s net production revenue causing a reduction in its oil and gas acquisition, development and exploration activities.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(s) Decreased productivity resulting from operational hazards

Oil and gas exploration, development and production operations are subject to all the risks and hazards typically associated with these operations. Such hazards would include fi re, explosion, blowouts, cratering, sour gas releases and spills, each of which may result in substantial damage to oil and gas wells, production facilities, other property and the environment or in personal injury to employees.

Oil and gas production operations are also subject to all the risks typically associated with such operations, including encountering unexpected formations or pressures, premature decline of reservoirs and the invasion of water into producing formations. Losses resulting from the occurrence of any of these risks could have a materially adverse effect on future results of operations, liquidity and fi nancial condition.

(t) Competition from major oil and gas players

All phases of the petroleum industry are competitive. Key areas in respect of which the Group faces competition include:

acquisition of exploration and production licenses through bidding processes run by governmental authorities;

alternative energy sources that may compete with or reduce demand for oil and gas;

acquisition of other companies that may already own licenses or existing hydrocarbon assets;

engagement of third-party service providers whose capacity to provide key services may be limited;

entering into commercial arrangements with customers;

purchase of capital equipment that may be scarce; and

employment of highly skilled personnel and professional staff.

The Group will inevitably compete with numerous other participants in the search for the acquisition of oil and gas production sites and, depending on future activities, in the marketing of oil and gas. Its competitors include established oil and gas companies with superior operating track records and who have substantially greater fi nancial resources, staff and facilities than those of the Group, as the case may be. Many of these competitors not only explore for and produce oil and gas, but also carry on refi ning operations and market hydrocarbon and other products on an international basis. These competitors may be able to pay more for producing oil and gas contract areas and exploratory prospects and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of contract areas and prospects than the Group’s fi nancial or personnel resources permit. This may result in higher than anticipated prices for the acquisition of licenses or assets, the hiring by competitors of key management or operatives, restrictions on the availability of equipment or services.

If the Group is unsuccessful in identifying suitable contract areas or continuing satisfactory relationships with existing partners and competing against other companies, its business, results of operations, fi nancial condition and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

39

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(u) Title to assets may be defective

Although title reviews will generally be conducted prior to the purchase of most oil and gas producing properties or the commencement of drilling wells, such reviews do not guarantee or certify that an unforeseen defect in the chain of titles will not arise to defeat the Group’s claim which could result in a reduction or elimination of the revenue received by the Group.

(v) Assessments of the value of acquisitions

Acquisitions of oil and gas issuers and oil and gas assets are typically based on engineering and economic assessments made by independent engineers and the Group’s internal assessments. These assessments both will include a series of assumptions regarding such factors and recoverability and marketability of oil and gas, future prices of oil and gas and operating costs, future capital expenditures and royalties and other government levies which will be imposed over the producing life of the reserves. Many of these factors are subject to change and are beyond the Group’s control. In particular, the prices of and markets for oil and gas products may change from those anticipated at the time of making such assessment. In addition, all such assessments involve a measure of geologic and engineering uncertainty which could result in lower production and reserves than anticipated. Initial assessments of acquisitions may be based on reports by a fi rm of independent engineers that are not the same as the fi rm the Group uses for its year end reserve evaluations. Because each of these fi rms may have different evaluation methods and approaches, these initial assessments may differ signifi cantly from the assessments of the fi rm used by the Group. Any such instance may offset the return on and value of the Company’s shares.

(w) Delays in business operations

In addition to the usual delays in payments by purchasers of oil and gas to the Group or to the operator, and the delays by operators in remitting payment to the Group, payments between these parties may be delayed due to restrictions imposed by lenders, accounting delays, delays in the sale or delivery of products, delays in the connections of wells to a gathering system, adjustment for prior periods, or recovery by the operator of expenses incurred in the New Business. Any of these delays could reduce the amount of cash fl ow available for the business of the Group in a given period and expose the Group to additional third party credit risks.

(x) Alternatives to and changing demands for petroleum products

Full conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements, increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and gas, and technological advances in fuel economy and energy generation devices could reduce the demand for crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons. The Group cannot predict the impact of changing demand for oil and gas products, and any major changes may have a material adverse effect on its business, fi nancial condition, results of operations and cash fl ows.

4.2.3 Risks Relating to Conducting Operations in Indonesia

(a) The business and operations of the Group may be affected by the political, economic and social environment in Indonesia

The New Business is mainly located in Indonesia and the Group’s main markets pursuant to the New Business will be in Indonesia. Accordingly, the Group’s business and future growth is highly dependent on the political, economic and social environment in Indonesia.

Adverse changes in the political, economic and social conditions in Indonesia such as changes in labour conditions, import and export regulations, tariffs, non-trade tariffs, barriers, custom restrictions, fl uctuations in exchange rates, economic recession and infl ation may adversely affect the Group’s business, operations and fi nancial performance.

Page 40: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

40

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

The laws and regulations in Indonesia or the interpretation and implementation of the same may be subject to change. Unfavourable changes in Indonesia laws, the Indonesia legal system or any changes in the policies implemented by the government of the Indonesia or the implementation of existing laws and policies which may result in currency and interest rate fl uctuations, capital restrictions, changes in treatment of land use rights and other property rights and changes in duties and taxes detrimental to the New Business may materially affect the Group’s operations, fi nancial performance and future growth.

From time to time, changes in law and regulations in Indonesia or the implementation thereof may also require the Group to obtain additional approvals and licences from the Indonesia authorities for the conduct of the New Business in Indonesia. In such event, the Group may need to incur additional expenses in order to comply with such requirements. This will in turn affect its fi nancial performance as its business costs will increase. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that such approvals or licences will be granted to the Group promptly or at all. If the Group experiences delay in obtaining or is unable to obtain such required approvals of licences, its operations and business in Indonesia and its overall fi nancial performance will be adversely affected.

(b) Government regulations relating to the New Business and the procurement of government licences and approvals in Indonesia

The Group’s operations in the oil and gas exploration, exploitation and production business will be subject to licenses, regulations and approvals for, inter alia, the exploration, development, construction, operation, production, marketing, pricing, transportation and storage of such resources. Similar licenses, regulations and approvals are also applicable to the Group in its capacity as an operator cooperating in production or to the service providers it engages. The governments of the countries in which the Group and/or the service providers may operate may exercise signifi cant infl uence over the oil and gas sector.

Any government action which affects the Group (such as a change in pricing policy or taxation rules or practice, or renegotiation or nullifi cation of existing concession contracts or exploration policy, laws or practice) could have a material adverse effect on the Group. In addition, the Indonesian government could also require the Company to grant to them revenues or shares of the relevant portions of the New Business, as equity participation by such governments might be a pre-condition for the grant of the necessary licences, or postpone or review projects, nationalise assets, or make changes to laws, rules, regulations or policies, which in each case, could adversely affect the Group’s business, prospects, fi nancial condition and results of operations. Possible future changes in the government, major policy shifts or increased security arrangements in Indonesia could have to varying degrees an adverse effect on the value of the Group. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations, fi nancial condition and prospects.

(c) Risk of non-compliance with governmental and regulatory requirements

Notwithstanding the adoption of any measures that are put in place by the Group, there is no assurance that the Group will be able to meet all the regulatory requirements and guidelines, or comply with all the applicable regulations at all times, or that it will not be subject to sanctions, fi nes or other penalties in the future as a result of non-compliance. If sanctions, fi nes and other penalties are imposed on the Group for failing to comply with applicable requirements, guidelines or regulations, its business, reputation, fi nancial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

41

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(d) Terrorism and militant activity

Indonesia, where the Group primarily operates and conducts the New Business has experienced terrorist and militant activity. There can be no assurance that further terrorist acts will not occur in the future. The fear of terrorist actions, either against the Group’s properties or generally, could have an adverse effect on the Group’s ability to adequately staff and/or manage the Group’s operations or could substantially increase the costs of doing so.

Any future terrorist acts in Indonesia, or countries neighbouring thereto, could destabilise the economy and increase internal divisions within the Indonesian government, and might result in concerns about stability in the region and negatively affect investors’ confi dence. Violent acts arising from and leading to instability and unrest have in the past had, and could continue to have, a material adverse effect on investment and confi dence in, and the performance of, the economies of Indonesia, and in turn, on the Group’s business. Any terrorist attack, including those targeting the Group’s properties, could interrupt parts of the Group’s business and materially and adversely affect the Group’s business, results of operations, fi nancial condition and prospects.

(e) Lack of infrastructure / poorly maintained infrastructure

Physical infrastructure in some areas in which the Group operates or intends to operate in the New Business, is obsolete or non-existent and in certain respects have not been adequately funded and maintained. Breakdowns or failures of any part of the physical infrastructure in such areas may disrupt the Group’s normal business activity, cause the Group to suspend operations or result in environmental damage to the surrounding areas. Further deterioration of the physical infrastructure in such areas may disrupt the transportation of goods and supplies, increase operational costs of doing business in these areas and generally interrupt business operations, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, results of operations, fi nancial condition and prospects.

(f) Uncertainty in the interpretation and application of laws and regulations

The courts in the jurisdiction in which the Group operates in the New Business, such as Indonesia, may offer less certainty as to the judicial outcome or a more protracted judicial process than is the case in more established economies. Businesses can become involved in lengthy court cases over simple issues when rulings are not clearly defi ned, and the poor drafting of laws and excessive delays in the legal process for resolving issues or disputes compound such problems.

Accordingly, the Group could face risks such as: (i) effective legal redress in the courts of such jurisdictions being more diffi cult to obtain, whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in an ownership dispute; (ii) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental authorities and therefore less certainty; (iii) the lack of judicial or administrative guidance on interpreting applicable rules and regulations; (iv) inconsistencies or confl icts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions; or (v) relative inexperience or unpredictability of the judiciary and courts in such matters.

Enforcement of laws in Indonesia may depend on and be subject to the interpretation placed upon such laws by the relevant local authority, and such authority may adopt an interpretation of an aspect of local law which differs from the advice that has been given to the Group by local lawyers or even by the relevant local authority itself previously. Furthermore, there is limited or no relevant case law providing guidance on how courts would interpret such laws and the application of such laws to the Group’s contracts, joint operations, licenses, license applications or other arrangements.

Page 42: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

42

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

There can be no assurance that an unfavorable interpretation or application of the laws in Indonesia will not adversely affect the Group’s contracts, joint operations, licenses, license applications or other legal arrangements. In certain jurisdictions, the commitment of local businesses, government offi cials and agencies and the judicial system to abide by legal requirements and negotiated agreements may be less certain and more susceptible to revision or cancellation, and legal redress may be uncertain or delayed. If the existing body of laws and regulations in the countries in which the Group operates are interpreted or applied, or relevant discretions exercised, in an inconsistent manner by the courts or applicable regulatory bodies, this could result in ambiguities, inconsistencies and anomalies in the enforcement of such laws and regulations, which in turn could hinder the Group’s long-term planning efforts and may create uncertainties in the Group’s operating environment.

5. THE PLACEMENT OF SHARES

5.1 Introduction to the Placement

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Placement Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue, and the Placement Agent has agreed, subject to the lodgement by the Company of an Offer Information Statement for the Placement, to procure subscriptions on a commercially reasonable efforts basis for up to 80,000,000 Placement Shares at not less than S$0.30 for each Placement Share.

Section 161 of the Companies Act requires a company to obtain the approval of its shareholders in a general meeting for the issue of shares by the company, except where such issue is undertaken pursuant a general mandate granted by shareholders in a general meeting.

Rule 805(1) of the Listing Manual requires an issuer to obtain the prior specifi c approval of shareholders in a general meeting for the issue of shares, save where such issue is undertaken pursuant to a general mandate granted by shareholders in a general meeting.

In addition, as the Placement Price represents a discount of approximately 13.32% to the VWAP of S$0.3461 for trades done on the Catalist on 10 July 2014 (being the full market day on which the Shares were traded prior to the signing of the Placement Agreement), the Company is required under Rule 811(3) of the Listing Manual to seek the specifi c approval of Shareholders for the issuance of the Placement Shares.

The Company intends to seek the specifi c approval of Shareholders for the allotment and issue of the Placement Shares at the EGM in accordance with Rules 805(1) and 811(3) of the Listing Manual and Section 161 of the Companies Act.

The Placement is not underwritten and will be undertaken pursuant to Section 277 of the SFA.

5.2 Placement Price

The minimum Placement Price of S$0.30 for each of the Placement Shares represents a discount of approximately 13.32% to the VWAP of S$0.3461 for trades done on the Shares on the Catalist on 10 July 2014 (being the full market day on which Shares were traded prior to the signing of the Placement Agreement).

The Placement Price was commercially agreed between the Company and the Placement Agent, after taking into consideration, inter alia, the historical trading prices and volume of the Shares on the Catalist. The Company and the Placement Agent will determine the Placement Price based on a bookbuilding process. If there is a strong investor demand for the Placement Price to be higher than S$0.30, the Company and the Placement Agent may agree on a higher price, taking into account factors including quality of demand and possible aftermarket performance.

6. RATIONALE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The rationale for the Transactions is as follows:

(a) The Target Group is in the growing business of enhancing the production of existing oil wells. The Acquisition presents a unique opportunity for the Company to prudently diversify into the upstream oil and gas sector.

(b) The strategic shareholding by JPEL as a Controlling Shareholder of the Company and its continued indirect equity participation in the Target Group pursuant to the Acquisition will be instrumental in ensuring the alignment of J PEL’s interest with that of the Company and the Target Group as a whole in the long term, and will incentivise JPEL to assist the Company in the development of the New Business.

(c) PT Cepu holds the exclusive rights to cooperate in conducting operations for extracting oil from the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields.

(d) The cash proceeds raised from the Placement will be primarily used to fund the First Tranche of the Cash Consideration and the Shareholder’s Loan (to be extended by the Purchaser to the Target).

Please refer to Sections 2.4.1 and 2.3 of this Circular for more information on the Consideration payable to JPEL in respect of the Acquisition and the rationale and benefi ts of the Acquisition respectively.

The net cash proceeds from the Placement (after deducting expenses relating to the Placement) will be approximately S$22,700,000 (the “Net Proceeds”). The Net Proceeds will be used by the Company in the following estimated proportions:

Use of Proceeds Percentage Allocation (%)

First Tranche of the Cash Consideration in respect of the Acquisition

Approximately 60% to 66%

Shareholder’s Loan Approximately 20% to 28%

General working capital of the Group Approximately 6% to 20%

The Company will make periodic announcements on the use of the Net Proceeds as and when they are materially disbursed, and provide a status report on the use of the Net Proceeds in the Company’s annual report. The Company will disclose a breakdown with specifi c details on the use of the Net Proceeds for working capital in such announcements and annual reports. Where there is any material deviation from the stated use of Net Proceeds, the Company will announce the reasons for such deviation.

Pending the deployment of the Net Proceeds, such proceeds may be deposited with banks or fi nancial institutions, invested in short-term money market instruments or marketable securities, and/or used for any other purpose on a short-term basis, as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, deem fi t from time to time.

The Net Proceeds from the Placement will be used (i) to fund the First Tranche of the Cash Consideration in respect of the Acquisition, (ii) to fund the Shareholder’s Loan and (iii) as general working capital of the Group. The Directors are of the opinion that after taking into consideration (a) the present bank facilities, the working capital available to the Group is suffi cient to meet its present requirements; and (b) the present bank facilities and Net Proceeds, the working capital available to the Group is suffi cient to meet its present requirements.

8. NEW SHARE ISSUE MANDATE

8.1 New Share Issue Mandate

At the last general meeting of the Company held on 26 December 2013 (the “2013 AGM”), the Shareholders passed a resolution to authorise the Directors to allot and issue new shares and convertible securities in the capital of the Company (whether by rights issue or otherwise), provided that the aggregate number of Shares to be issued pursuant to such authority does not exceed fi fty per centum (50%) of the Company’s total issued share capital at the time of passing of the resolution (the “2013 General Mandate”).

The number of issued Shares as at the date of the 2013 AGM was 263,018,657 Shares, and the maximum number of new Shares that may be issued pursuant to the 2013 General Mandate is 52,603,731 Shares.

On 18 February 2014, the Company entered into a subscription agreement, pursuant to which the subscribers agreed to subscribe for 52,000,000 Shares (“2014 Subscription”).

As the 2013 General Mandate has been substantially exhausted by the 2014 Subscription, the Company is seeking Shareholders’ approval at the EGM for a mandate (the “New Share Issue Mandate”) to be given to the Directors to issue shares and convertible securities in the capital of the Company (whether by way of rights, bonus or otherwise) at any time and upon such terms and conditions and for such purposes as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, deem fi t.

The aggregate number of shares to be issued pursuant to the New Share Issue Mandate, including shares to be issued in pursuance of any convertible securities made or granted pursuant to this authority, shall not exceed hundred per centum (100%) of the total number of issued shares in the capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) at the time of the passing of the New Share Issue Mandate, of which the aggregate number of shares and convertible securities to be issued other than on a pro-rata basis to existing Shareholders shall not exceed fi fty per centum (50%) of the total number of issued shares in the capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares).

Page 48: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

48

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Subject to such manner of calculation as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST, for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the paragraph above, the percentage of the total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) shall be based on the Company’s total number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) at the time such authority is given, after adjusting for:

(i) new shares arising from the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities;

(ii) new shares arising from exercising share options or vesting of share awards which are outstanding or subsisting at the time such authority is given, provided the options or awards were granted in compliance with Part VIII of Chapter 8 of the Listing Manual; and

(iii) any subsequent bonus issue, consolidation or sub-division of shares.

If approved, the New Share Issue Mandate will take effect from the date of the EGM and continue in force (i) until the Company’s next annual general meeting or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the law to be held, whichever is earlier, or (ii) in the case of shares to be issued in accordance with the terms of convertible securities issued, made or granted pursuant to the New Share Issue Mandate, until the issuance of such shares in accordance with the terms of such convertible securities unless prior thereto, issues of shares are made to the full extent permitted by the New Share Issue Mandate or the New Share Issue Mandate is revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting.

8.2 Compliance with Listing Manual

In exercising the authority conferred under the New Share Issue Mandate, the Company will comply with the provisions of the Listing Manual for the time being in force, unless such compliance has been waived by the SGX-ST and the Articles of Association for the time being of the Company.

8.3 Rationale

The Directors believe that the proposed New Share Issue Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. It will enable the Company to act quickly and take advantage of market conditions, in issuing shares or convertible securities, within the limits specifi ed, and avoid the delay and the expense of otherwise having to convene general meetings of the Company to approve each share issue or the making or granting of each specifi c convertible security.

8.4 Risks of the New Share Issue Mandate

(a) Dilution of shareholding

The proposed New Share Issue Mandate, once approved will empower the Directors to issue new Shares or convertible securities in the capital of the Company (whether by way of bonus issue, rights issue or otherwise), subject to the limitations set out in Section 8.1 above. This will allow the Company to undertake additional capital raisings and/or acquisitions by way of issuance of new Shares under the proposed New Share Issue Mandate provided the terms of the share issuances and/or acquisitions do not require Shareholders’ approval. In such instances, Shareholders’ shareholding in the Company will be diluted.

However, despite the proposed New Share Issue Mandate, the Company will still be subject to the Listing Manual, including but not limited to the relevant rules under Chapters 8 and 10 of the Listing Manual. Shareholders’ approval would still have to be sought if the terms of the share issuances pursuant to the additional capital raising and/or acquisition exceed certain thresholds. In such an instance, the Company will seek the approval of Shareholders for the issuance of Shares and details relating to the additional capital raising and/or acquisition will be detailed in a circular to be despatched to Shareholders allowing them to make an informed decision.

Page 49: GIKEN SAKATA (S) LIMITED - GSS Energy Limited€œOil Fields”: Means the Dandangilo-Wonocolo and Tungkul Oil Fields and the Kawengan Oil Field “Ordinary Resolutions ...

49

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(b) Shareholders may not have the opportunity to consider terms of corporate actions

If the proposed New Share Issue Mandate is approved by Shareholders at the EGM, the Company will not need to seek specifi c Shareholder’s approval for certain corporate actions that the Company may undertake, including additional capital raising and/or acquisitions if the terms of such corporate actions do not exceed the thresholds as stated in the Listing Manual. In such cases, Shareholders will not have the opportunity to consider the terms of the corporate actions.

9. DIRECTORS’ OPINION ON WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that after taking into consideration:

(a) the Group’s present bank facilities, the working capital available to the Group is suffi cient to meet its present requirements; and

(b) the Group’s present internal resources and bank facilities and the net proceeds of the Placement, the working capital available to the Group is suffi cient to meet its present requirements,

excluding its obligations in connection with the Transactions.

The Company has decided to undertake the Placement to fund the First Tranche of the Cash Consideration, the Shareholder’s Loan (to be extended by the Purchaser to the Target) and the fees and expenses in connection with the Acquisition and the Placement.

10. UNDERTAKING

Roots Capital Asia Limited has given an undertaking to the Company that it will vote in favour of the Ordinary Resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.

11. RECOMMENDATION BY DIRECTORS

Having reviewed the terms, inter alia, the rationale and fi nancial effects of the Transactions, the Directors (save for Lee Kok Wah, who has abstained from making any recommendations due to his position as director of the Target, and a shareholder of JPEL) are unanimously of the view that the Transactions are in the best interests of the Company, and they recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the Transactions at the EGM.

The Directors are of the opinion that the New Share Issue Mandate is in the best interest of the Company. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the ordinary resolution relating to the New Share Issue Mandate, at the EGM.

12. INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDERS

Save as disclosed in Sections 2.1.2 and 2.2 above, none of the Directors or the Substantial Shareholders of the Company has any interest, direct or indirect, in the Acquisition and the Placement, save for their respective shareholdings in the Company.
