CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements contained in this Prospectus, statements made in press releases and oral statements that may be made by the Company or its officers, Directors or employees acting on its behalf, that are not statements of historical fact, constitute ‘‘forward-looking statements’’. Some of these statements can be identified by forward-looking terms such as ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘believe’’, ‘‘plan’’, ‘‘intend’’, ‘‘estimate’’, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘may’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘would’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘shall’’, ‘‘could’’ and ‘‘can’’ or similar words. However, these words are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. All statements regarding our expected financial position, business strategy, plans and prospects and the future prospects of our industry are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, including statements as to our revenue and profitability, prospects, future plans and other matters discussed in this Prospectus regarding matters that are not historical fact, are only predictions. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual future results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expected, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others:–
changes in the regulatory environment;
changes in technology;
changes in competitive conditions; and
other factors beyond our control.
These factors are discussed in more detail in this Prospectus, in particular, but not limited to, discussions under ‘‘Risk Factors’’. Given the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual future results, performance or achievements to be materially different from that expected, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Prospectus, undue reliance must not be placed on those statements. Neither the Company, the Manager, the Placement Agents nor any other person represents or warrants that our actual future results, performance or achievements will be as discussed in those statements. Further, we and our professional advisers disclaim any responsibility to update any of those forwardlooking statements or publicly announce any revisions to those forward-looking statements to reflect future developments, events or circumstances. We are, nevertheless, subject to the provisions of the SGX-ST Listing Manual regarding corporate disclosure policy.
