Ltd. ("Taiwan Ziolar") and the entire business and assets of Ziolar Pte Ltd ("Ziolar Singapore") for an aggregate consideration equivalent to US$4.5 million, and that if within the 12 months following the issue of such Shares the Company issues any new Shares at a price below 40 pence per Share (such lower price being the "Reduced Price"), for the Company to allot and issue additional Shares as consideration for the abovementioned acquisition; and

(ii)        in addition to the authority referred to in sub-paragraph (i) above and in addition to the existing authorities granted to the Directors, to grant the Directors a general mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to issue and allot, and/or grant rights to subscribe for and/or convert any security into, such number of Shares as in aggregate does not exceed 10,000,000, and to disapply the pre-emption provisions contained in article 3.18 of the Company's articles of association ("Articles") in respect of any such allotment.

The resolutions to be proposed at the EGM are as follows:

·        Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution to authorise the directors of the Company (the "Directors") to allot up to 6,944,400 Shares as the consideration for the Ziolar Acquisition, as announced on 27 January 2014;

·        Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution to authorise the Directors to allot up to 2,000,000 additional Shares to SSP Innovations Pte Ltd (and/or its nominees), Steve Peng and Yu-Yao Eddie Chen in the event that within the Relevant Period, the Company issues any Shares at a Reduced Price. Any such further issue of Shares would be in settlement of the consideration payable for the Ziolar Acquisition.

·        Resolution 4 is a special resolution to grant the Directors the authority to disapply the pre-emption provisions contained in the Articles that would otherwise apply upon any allotment made pursuant to Resolution 3.

The Directors believe that all of the resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and accordingly recommend that the shareholders vote in favour of all of the resolutions, as they intend to do so in respect of their aggregate holding of 47,100,450 Shares, representing approximately 57.1 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.
