Company Announcement

CORRIGENDUM TO ANNOUNCEMENT DATED 9 JULY 2021

AND CIRCULAR DATED 12 JULY 2021

SINGAPORE, 17 JULY 2021

  1. Introduction
    The Board of Directors (the "Board" or "Directors") of Boustead Projects Limited (the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") refers to the Company's announcement dated 9 July 2021 ("Announcement") and circular to Shareholders dated 12 July 2021 ("Circular") in relation to the Proposed Transfer of Award Treasury Shares to
    Directors. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms and references used herein shall bear the same meanings ascribed to them in the Circular.
  2. Corrigendum to Announcement and Circular
    The Board wishes to inform that Section 3.2(d)(iv) of the Circular should read as follows:

"(iv) The proposed transfer of the Award Treasury Shares to the Directors at the Proposed Transfer Price would have a lower share based payment expense when compared to a grant of Share awards under the Restricted Share Plan (assuming the transfer of Award Treasury Shares and the award granted under the Restricted Share Plan involve the same number of shares and were granted on the same day). This is due to the Proposed Transfer Price payable by the Directors of S$0.806 per Share. However, the expense charged to the profit and loss of the Company will not have an impact to the NTA. In addition, the Company will be able to recover the costs of buy-back of the 2,400,000 Award Treasury Shares as explained in Section 3.3 (Basis of Proposed Transfer Price) and (after deducting legal and regulatory expenses) the NTA will be improved by an amount equivalent to the Net Proceeds."

Following from the above, the financial effects of the Proposed Transfer set out in Sections

4.3 and 4.4 of the Announcement and Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of the Circular have been adjusted such that:

  1. The profit attributable to owners of the Company after the Proposed Transfers is S$130,428,000 instead of S$131,688,000. This is calculated on the assumption that the share price of the Company is S$1.3226 (which was the VWAP on 9 July 2021) on 1 April 2020;
  2. The NTA after the Proposed Transfers is S$427,770,000 instead of S$425,856,000. This is calculated on the assumption that the Proposed Transfer Price for the Award Treasury Shares had been received on 31 March 2021; and
  3. The basic EPS and NTA per Share after the Proposed Transfers marginally changed from 42.0 cents to 41.6 cents and S$1.359 to S$1.365 respectively.

The above adjustments to the financial effects are not material.

Save as disclosed above, all of the information in the Announcement and Circular remain unchanged.
