The Notes will be secured by a pledge of the shares of the Issuer held by the Company and a pledge of the shares of the Subsidiary Guarantor held by the Issuer.

Approval-in-principle has been received for the listing of the Notes on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”). Admission of the Notes to the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the Issuer or the Notes.

The Notes are being offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state law. The Issuer does not intend to register any portion of the offering of the Notes in the United States.
