Accordingly, the Whitewash Waiver is no longer required, and the application for the Whitewash Waiver, as set out in the Announcements, will not be made.

As the Sale and Purchase Agreement has been lapsed, no Circular will be issued and no SGM will be convened and held by the Company for the Independent Shareholders to consider and approve, among others the Acquisition and the Whitewash Waiver.
