SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF AGP

 

Immediately prior to the commencement of the Offer Period (i.e. 31 March 2017), 861,278,857 AGP Shares (representing approximately 97.17% of the issued share capital of AGP) or any rights over AGP Shares were held, controlled or directed by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it.

During the Offer Period, there were valid acceptances in respect of a total of 304,264,521 AGP Shares (the "Acceptance Shares") (i.e. including all acceptances which were subject to a Cooling-off Period and without Cooling-off Period as at the close of the Offer) representing approximately 34.33% of the entire issued share capital of AGP, tendered under the Offer. Upon the close of the Offer at 4:00 p.m. on 28 August 2017, the Offeror was interested in (i) an aggregate of 863,028,859 AGP Shares (i.e. excluding acceptances which were subject to a Cooling-off Period as at the date of the First Results Announcement) representing approximately 97.37% of the entire issued share capital of AGP as at the date of the First Results Announcement; and (ii) an aggregate of 3,576,274 AGP Shares which were subject to a Cooling-off Period, representing approximately 0.40% of the issued share capital of AGP as at the date of the First Results Announcement. As no withdrawal has taken place in respect of the acceptances that were subject to a Cooling-off Period, the Offeror is interested in a total of 866,605,133 AGP Shares, representing approximately 97.77% of the issued share capital of AGP.

 

 

Immediately before the Offer opened for acceptance, the Offeror was interested in 443,486,289 SEA Shares, representing approximately 65.06% of the issued share capital of SEA at that time. Upon the close of the Offer, as no withdrawal has taken place in respect of the acceptances that were subject to a Cooling-off Period, the Offeror is interested in 367,420,170 SEA Shares, representing approximately 53.87% of the issued share capital of SEA as at the date of this joint announcement.

 

Save for the Acceptance Shares and the AGP Shares distributed under the Distribution in Specie, neither the Offeror nor any of the parties acting in concert with it had (i) acquired or agreed to acquire any other relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of AGP or any rights over the AGP Shares during the Offer Period; or (ii) dealt in value or borrowed or lent any AGP Shares or relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of AGP during the Offer Period.
