1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Scheme. The respective boards of directors of Innovalues Limited (the “Company” or

Company (the “Innovalues Shares”) by the Offeror, a special purpose company incorporated

under the laws of the Cayman Islands, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of

Northstar Equity Partners IV Limited (“Northstar IV Fund”), an investment fund advised and

managed by Northstar Advisors Pte. Ltd. (“Northstar”). The Acquisition will be effected by the

agreement (the “Implementation Agreement”) setting out the terms and conditions on which

the Offeror, HoldCo and the Company will implement the Scheme.

2. INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES

automation industries. In addition, the Innovalues Group also provides various surface

Mr Goh Leng Tse (Chief Executive Officer and Chairman)

Mr Pung Tong Seng (Executive Director)

Mr Ong Tiak Beng (Non-Executive Director)

Mr Anthony Teo Soon Chye (Lead Independent Director)

Mr Liew Yoke Pheng, Joseph (Independent Director)

As at the date of this Joint Announcement (the “Joint Announcement Date”), the Company

has an issued and paid-up share capital of S$13,559,694, comprising 328,109,000

Innovalues Shares.

2.2 Northstar, the Offeror and HoldCo. Northstar is a Singapore-based, MAS-licensed fund

management company managing more than US$2 billion in committed equity capital

dedicated to Southeast Asia. Northstar has a solid track record of actively growing the

businesses of its investee companies. To date, it has invested in more than 30 companies

across various sectors, including banking, insurance, retail, oil and gas, coal and mining

services, technology, telecom and agribusiness.

Each of the Offeror and HoldCo are special purpose vehicles incorporated in the Cayman

Islands for the purposes of the Acquisition.

As at the Joint Announcement Date:

(i) the sole shareholder of the Offeror is HoldCo, and the sole shareholder of HoldCo is

Precision Solutions Partners (the “Founding Shareholder”), which in turn is indirectly

wholly-owned by Northstar IV Fund, an investment fund advised and managed by

Northstar;

(ii) the share capital of the Offeror is US$50,000, divided into 500,000,000 shares of a

par value of US$0.0001 each;

(iii) the share capital of HoldCo is US$50,000, divided into 500,000,000 shares of a par

value of US$0.0001 each (the “HoldCo Shares”); and

(iv) the members of the board of directors of the Offeror and HoldCo are Tan Choon

Hong and Wong Chee Yann, who are employees of Northstar.

3. THE SCHEME

3.1 The Acquisition. Under the Scheme:

3.1.1 all the Innovalues Shares held by the shareholders of the Company (the “Innovalues

Shareholders”) as at a books closure date to be announced by the Company on

which the Transfer Books and the Register of Members of the Company will be

closed in order to determine the entitlements of the Innovalues Shareholders in

respect of the Scheme (the “Books Closure Date”) will be transferred to the Offeror:

Page 3: Precision Solutions Limited PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY ... · Solutions Group, which is the sole shareholder of the Offeror and a special purpose vehicle ... Mr Goh Leng Tse (Chief Executive

3

(i) fully paid;

(ii) free from all charges, mortgages, liens, hypothecations, hire purchases,

judgments, encumbrances, easements, security, title retention, preferential

rights, trust arrangements or any other security interests or any other

agreements or arrangements having a commercial effect analogous to the

conferring of security or similar rights in favour of any person

(“Encumbrances”); and

(iii) together with all rights, benefits and entitlements as at the Joint

Announcement Date and thereafter attaching thereto, including the right to

receive and retain all dividends, rights and other distributions (if any) declared

by the Company on or after the Joint Announcement Date. If any dividend,

right or other distribution is declared, paid or made by the Company to the

Innovalues Shareholders on or after the Joint Announcement Date, the

Offeror reserves the right to reduce the Scheme Consideration (as defined

below) by the amount of such dividend, right or distribution; and

3.1.2 in consideration for such transfer, each of the Innovalues Shareholders as at the

Books Closure Date will be entitled to receive for each Innovalues Share (the

“Scheme Consideration”), at their election:

(i) S$1.01 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”); or

(ii) in lieu of the Cash Consideration, S$0.61 in cash and one (1) HoldCo Share

which HoldCo shall allot and issue duly authorised fully paid and free from all

Encumbrances, at an issue price of S$0.40 per HoldCo Share (which shall be

converted into US dollars based on the USD:SGD exchange rate quoted by

Bloomberg on the Effective Date (as defined below)) (the “Issue Price”) (the

“Cash and Securities Consideration”), provided always that no more than

65,000,000 Innovalues Shares1 may be elected for the Cash and Securities

Consideration (the “Maximum Number”).

In the event that the aggregate number of Innovalues Shares that are elected for the

Cash and Securities Consideration exceeds the Maximum Number:

(a) the Maximum Number will be allocated among the electing Innovalues

Shareholders on a pro-rata basis according to the number of Innovalues

Shares they hold; and

(b) in respect of the balance number of Innovalues Shares that are elected for

the Cash and Securities Consideration in excess of the Maximum Number,

each relevant Innovalues Shareholder will receive in cash such amount

equivalent to the HoldCo Shares (based on the Issue Price), which cannot be

allotted and issued to such Innovalues Shareholder,

1 Representing approximately 19.8 per cent. of all of the Innovalues Shares, based on an issued share capital

of 328,109,000 as at the date of this Joint Announcement.

Page 4: Precision Solutions Limited PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY ... · Solutions Group, which is the sole shareholder of the Offeror and a special purpose vehicle ... Mr Goh Leng Tse (Chief Executive

4

(the “Adjustment Mechanism”).

The implied value of the Cash and Securities Consideration (based on the Issue Price) will be

the same as the Cash Consideration. The HoldCo Shares will not be listed on any

securities exchange following completion of the Scheme.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Innovalues Shareholder is only entitled to receive the Cash

Consideration or, in lieu thereof, the Cash and Securities Consideration, for all the Innovalues

Shares registered in the Innovalues Shareholder’s name, but not a mixture of both. In the

absence or failure of any valid election by an Innovalues Shareholder to accept the Cash

Consideration or the Cash and Securities Consideration, the Innovalues Shareholder shall

only be entitled to receive the Cash Consideration for all the Innovalues Shares registered in

such Innovalues Shareholder’s name.

Further details will be set out in the Scheme Document (as defined below).

In respect of the Cash Consideration or the cash component of the Cash and Securities

Consideration, the aggregate cash amount that is payable to any Innovalues Shareholder in

respect of the Innovalues Shares held by such Innovalues Shareholder will be rounded down

to the nearest whole cent.

Subject to the Adjustment Mechanism, in respect of the equity component of the Cash and

Securities Consideration, the aggregate number of HoldCo Shares that are issuable to any

Innovalues Shareholder in respect of the Innovalues Shares held by such Innovalues

Shareholder will be rounded down, in each case, to the nearest whole number.

The HoldCo Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scheme becoming effective and binding in

accordance with its terms will, when issued, be validly authorised, validly issued and

outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable and free from Encumbrances (other than

restrictions arising out of applicable securities laws) and all consents, authorisations,

approvals or waivers from any governmental agencies or third parties necessary for such

issuance have been or will, prior to such issuance, be obtained.

3.2 Scheme Document. Further information on the Scheme, the material terms of the HoldCo

Shares which are being offered to the Innovalues Shareholders under the Cash and

Securities Consideration (including the rights of holders of the HoldCo Shares in respect of

capital, dividends and voting), and the terms and conditions upon which the Scheme will be

implemented by the Company, the Offeror and HoldCo will be set out in the document to be

issued by the Company to the Innovalues Shareholders in respect of the Scheme (the

“Scheme Document”).

3.3 Delisting. Upon the Scheme becoming effective and binding, the Company will become a

wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror, and will, subject to the approval of the SGX-ST, be

delisted from the Official List of the SGX-ST.

3.4 Switch Option

3.4.1 Pursuant to the terms of the Implementation Agreement, in the event of a Competing

Offer (as defined below) or in the event that an intention to make a Competing Offer

is announced (whether or not such Competing Offer is pre-conditional), the Offeror

Page 5: Precision Solutions Limited PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY ... · Solutions Group, which is the sole shareholder of the Offeror and a special purpose vehicle ... Mr Goh Leng Tse (Chief Executive

5

shall have the right at its discretion to elect to proceed by way of a voluntary

conditional cash offer made for or on behalf of the Offeror to acquire all the

Innovalues Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions which will be set out in

the offer document issued for or on behalf of the Offeror (the “Offer”) in lieu of

proceeding by way of the Scheme (the “Switch Option”).

“Competing Offer” means any expression of interest, offer or proposal by any person

other than the Offeror involving (i) a sale, transfer or other disposal of any direct or

indirect interest in some or all of the shares in Innovalues or any Innovalues Group

Company which is (directly or indirectly) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Innovalues

(“Relevant Innovalues Group Company”) or substantially all of the assets, business

and/or undertakings of a Relevant Innovalues Group Company; (ii) a general offer for

the shares in a Relevant Innovalues Group Company; (iii) a scheme of arrangement

involving a Relevant Innovalues Group Company or the merger of a Relevant

Innovalues Group Company with any other entity (whether by way of joint venture,

reverse takeover bid, dual listed company structure or otherwise); or (iv) any other

arrangement having an effect similar to any of (i) to (iii), including a merger or

amalgamation proposal. For the purpose of this definition, a Competing Offer will be

deemed to be for substantially all of the assets, business and/or undertakings of a

Relevant Innovalues Group Company if the relevant assets, business and/or

undertakings in question constitute a “material amount” as defined in Note 2 to Rule 5

of the Code.

3.4.2 If the Offeror exercises the Switch Option, it will make the Offer on the same or better

terms as those which apply to the Scheme, including at a consideration per

Innovalues Share which is the same or greater than the Scheme Consideration, and

conditional upon a level of acceptances set at only more than 50 per cent. of the

Innovalues Shares to which the Offer relates and not conditional on a higher level of

acceptances.

3.4.3 In such event, the Company, the Offeror and HoldCo have agreed that the

Implementation Agreement shall terminate with effect from the date of announcement

of the Offer, save for certain surviving provisions.

4. SCHEME CONDITIONS

4.1 Scheme Conditions. The Scheme is conditional upon the satisfaction or waiver (as the case

Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the date on which the Scheme becomes

effective in accordance with its terms (the “Effective Date”):

5.1.1 Regulatory Action: by either the Company or the Offeror, if any court of competent

jurisdiction has issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action

permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the Scheme or any part

thereof, or has refused to do anything necessary to permit the Scheme or any part

thereof, and such order, decree, ruling, other action or refusal shall have become final

and non-appealable;

Shareholders to be convened pursuant to the order of the High Court of the Republic

of Singapore (the “Court”) to approve the Scheme and any adjournment thereof (the

“Scheme Meeting”); or

5.1.3 Breach: if there shall have been a breach by any Party of its obligations under the

Implementation Agreement and such breach is material in the context of the Scheme,

by either the Offeror or Innovalues (as the case may be, being the Party not in default

and having the benefit of such obligations) by fourteen (14) days written notice to the

other Parties,

in each case, after prior consultation with the Securities Industry Council (“SIC”).

5.2 Non-fulfilment of Scheme Conditions. Subject to paragraph 4.2, if for any reason the

Scheme Conditions are not satisfied (or, if applicable, waived) or if the Scheme has not

become effective on or before 5.00 p.m. on the date falling six (6) months from the date of the

Implementation Agreement or such other date as the Parties may agree in writing (the

“Conditions Long-Stop Date”), either the Offeror or Innovalues may immediately terminate

the Implementation Agreement (save for certain surviving provisions) by notice in writing to

the other Parties, provided that it has first consulted the SIC and the SIC has given its

approval for, or stated that it has no objection to, such termination.

5.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of the Implementation Agreement by either

the Company or the Offeror (as the case may be) pursuant to the terms of the Implementation

Agreement, the Implementation Agreement shall terminate (except for certain surviving

provisions such as those relating to confidentiality, costs and expenses and governing law)

and there shall be no other liability on the part of any of the Company, the Offeror or HoldCo,

except that:

5.3.1 in the event of a breach by the Company of Clauses 6.2(a), 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d),

6.2(e), 6.2(f), 6.2(g), 6.2(h), 6.2(i), 6.2(o), 6.2(p), 6.2(q) or 6.3 of the Implementation

Agreement (collectively known as the “Specific Obligations”); and/or

5.3.2 in the event a general offer for the Innovalues Shares from a third party (other than

the Offeror) turns unconditional in all respects in accordance with its terms on a date

on or prior to the expiry of five (5) months after the Conditions Long-Stop Date,

the Company shall fully compensate the Offeror for all the costs and expenses incurred by or

on behalf of the Offeror in connection with the Acquisition and/or the Scheme (including the

fees and disbursements of counsel, auditors and advisers engaged by or on behalf of the

Offeror in connection with the Acquisition and/or the Scheme), subject to a maximum amount

of S$3,000,000. Any such payment shall be made by the Company to the Offeror within:

(i) (in the case of a payment under paragraph 5.3.1) ten (10) days after written notice

from the Offeror to the Company stating that a payment obligation under paragraph

5.3.1 is triggered or where the Company issues a notice to the Offeror that it

disagrees that such payment obligation is triggered, within ten (10) days after the

date of the final settlement of such disagreement or a court order ordering that

payment be made (as the case may be); and

(ii) (in the case of a payment under paragraph 5.3.2) ten (10) days after the date on

which the general offer is declared unconditional in all respects in accordance with its

terms.

5.4 Specific Obligations of the Company. The Specific Obligations of the Company are set out

in Schedule 3 to this Joint Announcement.

6. SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND OPTIONS PROPOSAL

6.1 Share Option Scheme. The Company has an employees’ share option scheme (the “Share

Option Scheme”). Under the Share Option Scheme, options are not transferable by the

holders thereof (“Optionholders”). In view of this restriction, the Scheme will not be extended

to the Optionholders.

6.2 Options Proposal. In place of extending the Scheme to the Optionholders, the Offeror

intends to make a proposal (“Options Proposal”) to the Optionholders to pay an

Optionholder a cash amount (computed on a “see-through” basis) (the “Option Price”) in

consideration of such Optionholder agreeing not to exercise all or any of the options held by

him in respect of which he has accepted the Options Proposal (“Relevant Options”), and all

or any rights as a holder of the Relevant Options, in each case from the date of his

acceptance of the Options Proposal to the date of expiry of the respective options. The Option

Price in relation to any Innovalues Share under an option will be equal to the Cash

Page 8: Precision Solutions Limited PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY ... · Solutions Group, which is the sole shareholder of the Offeror and a special purpose vehicle ... Mr Goh Leng Tse (Chief Executive

8

Consideration minus the exercise price of that Innovalues Share under the option. Where the

exercise price of an option is equal to or in excess of the Cash Consideration, the Option

Price for each option will be fixed at S$0.001.

The Options Proposal is subject to the Scheme becoming effective and is further subject to

such options continuing, as at the Effective Date, to be exercisable into new Innovalues

Shares.

Details of the Options Proposal will be despatched to the Optionholders on or around the date

of despatch of the Scheme Document to the Innovalues Shareholders. For the avoidance of

doubt, the Scheme will be extended to all Innovalues Shares validly issued pursuant to the

Share Option Scheme prior to the date and time of the Scheme Meeting.

6.3 Exercise Restriction. In the event that there are any outstanding options which have not

been accepted under the Options Proposal on the day immediately after the Scheme is

approved by the Innovalues Shareholders in accordance with the Companies Act, the

Company will be required under the Implementation Agreement to use all reasonable

endeavours to procure that the remuneration committee of the Company shall, to the extent

permitted under the rules of the Share Option Scheme, exercise its discretion under the rules

of the Share Option Scheme not to allow such outstanding options to be exercised any

further.

7. IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKINGS

7.1 Deeds of Undertaking. Each of Mr Goh Leng Tse (“GLT”), Mr Pung Tong Seng (“SP”), Mr

Ong Tiak Beng (“OTB”) and Mr Koh Boon Hwee (“KBH” and, collectively with GLT, SP and

OTB, the “Undertaking Shareholders”) have given an irrevocable undertaking to the Offeror

(the “Deed of Undertaking”) to, inter alia:

7.1.1 vote in favour of the Scheme at the Scheme Meeting;

7.1.2 vote against and reject any and all resolutions or proposals to approve, implement,

carry out or give effect to any competing offer by a third party (subject in the case of

GLT, OTB and SP, to their respective fiduciary duties as a director of the Company or

any other Innovalues Group Company);

7.1.3 comply with certain non-solicitation and no-talk provisions, in his capacity as an

Innovalues Shareholder;

7.1.4 in the event that the Offeror exercises its Switch Option and makes the Offer in

compliance with paragraph 3.4.2, tender his Innovalues Shares in acceptance of the

Offer;

7.1.5 in the case of GLT, SP and OTB, not exercise the options held by each of them and

to elect to accept the Options Proposal; and

7.1.6 elect to accept, in respect of the relevant Undertaking Shareholder’s Innovalues

Shares:

Page 9: Precision Solutions Limited PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY ... · Solutions Group, which is the sole shareholder of the Offeror and a special purpose vehicle ... Mr Goh Leng Tse (Chief Executive

9

(i) in the case of GLT and SP, the Cash Consideration; and

(ii) in the case of KBH and OTB, the Cash and Securities Consideration.

The Undertaking Shareholders have each given the Deed of Undertaking to the Offeror in

respect of 127,045,000 Innovalues Shares held legally and/or beneficially by the Undertaking

Shareholders in the aggregate as at the Joint Announcement Date, representing

approximately 38.73 per cent. of all the Innovalues Shares. Further details of the Innovalues

Shares held by the Undertaking Shareholders as at the Joint Announcement Date are set out

in Schedule 4 to this Joint Announcement.

7.2 Termination. The Deeds of Undertaking will terminate on the earliest of any of the following

dates:

7.2.1 the date falling six (6) months from the date of execution of the Implementation

Agreement;

7.2.2 if the Implementation Agreement is not terminated, the Effective Date;

7.2.3 if the Implementation Agreement lapses or is terminated, the earliest of the date on

which:

(i) the Implementation Agreement lapses or is terminated for any reason without

the Scheme becoming effective (other than a breach by the Undertaking

Shareholders of their respective obligations under the Deeds of Undertaking),

if the Switch Option is not exercised by the Offeror;

(ii) the date the Offer lapses or is withdrawn without having become

unconditional, if the Switch Option is exercised by the Offeror; or

(iii) the date on which the Offer becomes unconditional, if the Switch Option is

exercised by the Offeror; and

7.2.4 in the event a competing general offer for the Company is announced by a third party

after this Joint Announcement, the date on which such offer becomes unconditional in

all respects.

7.3 No Other Irrevocable Undertakings. Save for the Deeds of Undertaking, neither the Offeror

nor any Relevant Person (as defined below) has received any irrevocable undertaking from

any party to vote in favour of the Scheme as at the Joint Announcement Date.

7.4 SIC Confirmation. Pursuant to an application made by the Offeror to the SIC to seek certain

rulings in relation to the Acquisition and the Scheme (the “Application”), the SIC has

confirmed that the Deeds of Undertaking:

7.4.1 in relation to OTB and KBH, do not constitute special deals under Rule 10 of the

Code;

7.4.2 in relation to GLT and SP, do not constitute special deals under Rule 10 of the Code,

subject to the condition set out in paragraph 8.5 below; and

Page 10: Precision Solutions Limited PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY ... · Solutions Group, which is the sole shareholder of the Offeror and a special purpose vehicle ... Mr Goh Leng Tse (Chief Executive

10

7.4.3 do not amount to an agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Offeror

and each of the Undertaking Shareholders to co-operate to obtain or consolidate

effective control of the Company.

Accordingly, each of the Undertaking Shareholders will not be precluded from attending and

voting at the Scheme Meeting by virtue of the Deeds of Undertaking.

8. MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE ARRANGEMENTS

8.1 Binding Term Sheet. As the Offeror intends and desires that there is continuity of

management and minimal interruption of the Innovalues Group’s business, Northstar has on

25 October 2016 entered into a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with GLT, the chief executive

officer and chairman of the Company, to set out the proposed terms and conditions of (i) the

reinvestment arrangements of GLT and SP into HoldCo, (ii) the shareholder arrangements

between GLT and the Founding Shareholder in respect of HoldCo following completion of the

Scheme, and (iii) the management equity incentive plan to be offered to the management

team of the Innovalues Group (including GLT). Details of such arrangements are set out in

paragraphs 8.2 to 8.4 below.

8.2 Reinvestment and Shareholding Structure of HoldCo.

8.2.1 Pursuant to:

(i) the Deed of Undertaking and the subscription agreement to be entered into

between the Offeror, HoldCo and GLT, GLT will agree to reinvest an agreed

amount from the proceeds arising from the sale of his Innovalues Shares

pursuant to the Scheme, to subscribe for a certain number of new HoldCo

Shares, based on the Issue Price; and

(ii) the Deed of Undertaking and the subscription agreement to be entered into

between the Offeror, HoldCo and SP, SP will agree to reinvest an agreed

amount from the proceeds arising from the sale of his Innovalues Shares

pursuant to the Scheme, to subscribe for a certain number of new HoldCo

Shares, based on the Issue Price,

(the “Reinvestments”).

8.2.2 Following completion of the Scheme and the Reinvestments (“Completion”), the

shareholding structure of HoldCo, subject to the finalised debt/equity capital structure

of HoldCo, is envisaged to be as follows:

(i) Founding Shareholder: between 60.8 to 63.2 per cent.;

(ii) GLT: approximately 23.9 per cent.;

(iii) SP: approximately 1.6 per cent.; and

Page 11: Precision Solutions Limited PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY ... · Solutions Group, which is the sole shareholder of the Offeror and a special purpose vehicle ... Mr Goh Leng Tse (Chief Executive

11

(iv) other Innovalues Shareholders who elect the Cash and Securities

Consideration (including KBH and OTB): between 11.4 to 13.8 per cent.

8.3 Shareholder Arrangements. Following Completion, the relationship between GLT and the

Founding Shareholder will be governed by a shareholders’ agreement to set out their

agreement in relation to the affairs of HoldCo (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”). The

Shareholders’ Agreement will contain provisions such as those relating to board appointment

rights, reserved matters which will require the approval of GLT, and call option rights of GLT

Undertaking given by GLT and SP, and the proposed arrangements contemplated by the

9.1 Rationale for the Offeror. The Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Offeror to

acquire control of a company in the precision manufacturing sector with a regional

manufacturing footprint.

expression of interest, offer or proposal by any person other than the Offeror in

(A) any proposal or offer to (whether directly or indirectly) acquire or become the

holder (whether by share purchase, asset purchase, scheme, capital

reconstruction, tender offer or otherwise) of, or otherwise have an economic

referred to in this item 12. In the event that any Innovalues Group Company receives any

such expression of interest, offer or proposal, Innovalues shall be entitled:

(1) if required pursuant to the Listing Rules and/or the Code, to announce such

expression of interest, offer or proposal;

(2) to enter into discussions or negotiations or otherwise entertain such expressions of

interest, offer or proposal;

(3) to make any recommendation or to refrain from making any recommendation to the

Innovalues Shareholders as the directors of Innovalues may deem fit in respect of

such expression of interest, offer or proposal; and

to comply with and discharge their fiduciary duties, statutory, regulatory and/or legal

obligations that they may be subject to under all applicable laws and regulations

(including but not limited to their obligations under the Code),

provided that, in each instance, the Board has determined in good faith and acting reasonably

(after having obtained written advice from its legal advisers) that a failure to do any of the

foregoing would constitute a breach of the Listing Rules, the requirements of the SGX-ST, the

Code or any applicable laws or regulations (including the fiduciary obligations of the directors

of Innovalues). The Offeror, HoldCo and Innovalues agree that nothing in the Implementation

Agreement will derogate from, or otherwise affect, Innovalues’ obligations under Clause

6.2(n) of the Implementation Agreement; and

13. Appeal Process: If the Court refuses to make any orders convening the Scheme Meeting or

approving the Scheme, Innovalues must appeal the Court's decision under Singapore law

(except to the extent that the Parties agree otherwise) and the Offeror, HoldCo and

Innovalues shall consult with each other in relation to such an appeal. If an appeal of the

Courts decision is made by Innovalues, the Offeror shall provide all reasonable assistance as

Innovalues and its advisers may reasonably request for the purposes of the appeal. The legal

costs and other costs and expenses incurred by Innovalues in connection with obtaining the

orders of the Court and (if applicable) the appeal shall be borne by Innovalues.
