2.2 Basis and justification of arriving at the Tender Consideration The Tender Consideration for the Land was arrived at after taking into consideration the location of the Land, the permissible development plans intended for the Land as well as the minimum bid price set by the URA. The Tender Consideration amounts to approximately SGD1,689 per square foot ( psf ) (computed based on maximum permissible GFA for the Land). In this respect, the Company had taken note of the recently transacted Qatar Investment Authority s (QIA) purchase of the 99-year leasehold Asia Square Tower 1 for SGD3.4 billion from BlackRock in June 2016, which translates into about SGD2,700 psf. Asia Square Tower 1 is located adjacent to the Land (as depicted within the map under Section 2.1 of this announcement). Pursuant to the requirement of Paragraph 10.04(1) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ( Bursa Securities ), an independent registered valuer will be appointed by the Company to prepare an independent valuation report on the Land ( Valuation Report ) for the purpose of submission to Bursa Securities.

The actual development costs to be incurred by IOIPG and its subsidiaries ( IOIPG Group or Group ) will depend on, amongst others, time span of the development projects, the type of development to be undertaken, financing cost as well as cost of raw materials, construction cost and other miscellaneous cost. 3. RATIONALE FOR THE LAND TENDER IOIPG views the Land Tender as an opportunity for the Group to venture into prime office tower development with complementary mixed-use development located in the CBD of Singapore with close proximity to prestigious commercial developments such as One Raffles Quay and Marina Bay Financial Centre. The proposed development to be undertaken on the Land is expected to be attractive to major financial institutions and multinational corporations, which is envisaged to further complement the Group s existing developments in Singapore, as well as an attractive addition to the Group s investment properties portfolio. 4

The Land Tender also augurs well for the growth of the IOIPG Group as the proposed development on the Land is expected to contribute positively to the future revenue stream and profitability of the Group. 4. RISK FACTORS IN RELATION TO THE LAND TENDER 4.1 Business risk in relation to the property development industry in Singapore The Land Tender is subject to risks inherent in Singapore s property development industry of which the Group is already involved in. Such risks may include, amongst others, adverse changes in real estate market prices, changes in demand for types of residential, commercial and industrial properties, competition from other property developers, changes in economic, social and political conditions, delay in completion of property development projects against the scheduled completion, performance of third party sub-contractors, labour and material supply shortages, fluctuations in the prices of building materials and costs of labour charges, increase in real property gains tax and GST as well as changes in property tax assessments and other statutory charges. Any changes in such conditions may affect the business operations and financial performance of the Group. Notwithstanding this, the Group is familiar with Singapore s property market through its existing property development projects in Singapore, namely Seascape and Cape Royale at Sentosa Cove, Cityscape at Farrer Park, The Trilinq at Jalan Lempeng as well as South Beach at Beach Road. As such, the risk associated with the Land Tender will be addressed as part of the Group s ordinary course of business. 4.2 Acquisition risk Although the proposed development to be undertaken on the Land is expected to contribute positively to the earnings of the Group in the ensuing financial years, there is no guarantee that the anticipated benefits from the Land Tender will be realised or that the Group will be able to generate sufficient returns from the proposed development on the Land to offset the associated cost of investment. As such, there is no assurance that the proposed development on the Land will enable the Group to improve its financial performance and the duration required for the Group to recoup its investment could be longer than anticipated. Nevertheless, the Board has exercised due care in considering the potential risks and benefits associated with the Land Tender and the Board is optimistic on the Land Tender after taking into consideration, amongst others, the development potential and prospects of the Land. 4.3 Interest rate risk The Group intends to finance the Tender Consideration via bank borrowings and/or internally generated funds. The Group could potentially be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on such borrowings obtained, leading to higher borrowing costs which may adversely affect the Group s business operations and financial performance as well as its ability to service future loan repayment obligations. Further, fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the demand for properties to be developed on the Land as higher interest rates may lead to an increase in prices of the properties for prospective buyers. This may thus affect the demand for properties and the success of the Group s plan in undertaking the development on the Land. 5

Nevertheless, the Group shall continuously monitor and review its debt portfolio, which includes taking into consideration its gearing level, interest costs as well as cash flows in achieving an overall optimal capital structure. The Company may in the future consider to undertake an equity fund raising exercise to refinance the Group s bank borrowings so as to better manage its interest exposure and gearing level. Depending on market conditions, the Group will also review its pricing strategy to ensure that its properties are competitively priced. 4.4 Economic condition The successful development of the Land depends largely on the economic condition in Singapore. Factors that could affect the successful development of the Land include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, inflation, economic growth, taxation, accounting policies, changes in laws and regulations, government policies and political stability. Any changes in these conditions, such as a prolonged economic downturn, could have an impact on the Singapore property development industry. Whilst the Group practices prudent financial risk management and efficient operating procedures, there is no assurance that any changes in economic developments, which are beyond the control of the Group, will not affect the Group. 5. PROSPECTS OF THE LAND TENDER The Land is situated in a prime and strategic location in Marina Bay, Singapore which is an international business and financial hub. Marina Bay is a vibrant destination with a good mix of commercial, residential and entertainment uses. It has been established as a major business and financial precinct to complement the existing CBD of Singapore and is home to many major local and international companies as well as financial institutions. The Land is strategically located with a prominent frontage along Central Boulevard and Raffles Quay-Shenton Way, two (2) key roads within Marina Bay and the CBD of Singapore. The future development on the Land will offer excellent views for tenants with the Marina Bay waterfront to the north-east, green open space to the south-east, and across the CBD of Singapore to the west. The future development on the Land will be linked directly to the surrounding developments at One Raffles Quay and Marina Bay Financial Centre as well as office clusters at Raffles Place and Shenton Way via an extensive network of pedestrian links and also seamlessly connected to the adjacent Downtown MRT Station, nearby Raffles Place MRT Station and the future Shenton Way MRT Station, offering easy access to the rail network. In view of the strategic location of the Land, the Group is optimistic on the prospects of the proposed development to be undertaken on the Land, which is envisaged to be attractive to major financial institutions and multinational corporations. 6. EFFECTS OF THE LAND TENDER 6.1 Share capital and substantial shareholders shareholdings The Land Tender is not expected to have any effect on the share capital and substantial shareholders shareholdings of IOIPG as no new ordinary shares in the Company will be issued pursuant thereto. 6

6.2 Earnings and earnings per share ( EPS ) The Land Tender is not expected to have any material effect on the earnings and EPS of the Group for the financial year ending 30 June 2017. Nevertheless, the Land Tender is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings and EPS of the Group for the ensuing financial years arising from the earnings contribution from the proposed development to be undertaken on the Land. 6.3 Net assets ( NA ) and gearing The Land Tender is expected to be completed by the first (1 st ) quarter of calendar year 2017 and is not expected to have any material effect on the NA of the Group for the financial year ending 30 June 2017. However, the Land Tender is expected to enhance the NA and NA per share of the Group in the future in view of the potential future profit contribution arising from the proposed development to be undertaken on the Land. As the Tender Consideration is to be satisfied by bank borrowings and/or internally generated funds and the exact manner in which the Tender Consideration will be satisfied has yet to be finalised at this juncture, the effect of the Land Tender on the Group s gearing will be dependent on the final combination of bank borrowings and/or internally generated funds which will only be determined at a later stage. 7. HIGHEST PERCENTAGE RATIO The highest percentage ratio applicable to the Land Tender as per Paragraph 10.02(g) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Securities is 48.93%, calculated based on the Tender Consideration as compared to the Company s latest audited consolidated NA as at 30 June 2016. 8. APPROVALS REQUIRED The Land Tender is subject to the following approvals being obtained:- (i) (ii) ratification from the Company s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting ( EGM ) to be convened ( Proposed Ratification ); and any other relevant parties/authorities, if required. For information purposes, AmInvestment Bank had, on behalf of the Board, submitted a waiver application to Bursa Securities from having to obtain shareholders approval prior to the completion of the Land Tender, which was approved by Bursa Securities on 2 November 2016 subject to, inter-alia, IOIPG must procure shareholders ratification within six (6) months from URA s acceptance of the Land Tender. The Waiver Application was submitted after taking into consideration, amongst others, the conditions of tender set out by the URA whereby tenderers are required to submit firm and unconditional offers for the Land.

Accordingly, the Group is required to comply with the condition of the tender as stated above whereby the tender must be unconditional at the point of submission. 9.
