- Signing ceremony witnessed by the Prime Minister of Vietnam and Minister for National Development and Second Minister for Finance of Singapore

Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sembcorp Utilities, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the People's Committee of Quang Ngai Province (Quang Ngai PC) today at the Viet Nam - Singapore Business Dialogue 2018 in Singapore. The MOU covers the allocation of land by Quang Ngai PC to Sembcorp for the development of a 750-megawatt gas-fired power project in the Dung Quat Economic Zone, located in central Vietnam's Quang Ngai province.

Under that agreement, Sembcorp has completed its feasibility study and has submitted the report to MoIT earlier this year for further review and evaluation.

Koh Chiap Khiong, Head of Singapore, Southeast Asia & China of Sembcorp, said, 'Having established a proven track record in Vietnam with our Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park projects and our first power plant, Phu My 3, we are confident of successfully developing this project. We are committed as a long term investor to Vietnam and hope to grow our offerings as an integrated energy player to support Vietnam's move to cleaner energy sources to power the nation's economic growth.'

The signing of the MOU is not expected to have a material impact on the earnings per share and net asset value per share of Sembcorp Industries for the financial year ending December 31, 2018.
