IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SCHEME PARTIES

Explanatory Statement Content

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared by the directors of the Company solely to inform the Scheme Parties of the proposals for the Scheme. Nothing in this Explanatory Statement or any other document issued with or appended to it should be relied on for any purpose other than to make a decision with respect to the Scheme. In particular, and without limitation, nothing in this Explanatory Statement or any other document issued with or appended to it should be relied on in connection with the purchase of any shares, warrants, bonds, notes or any other debt or assets of any Group company. Any parties making such investment decision should rely on their own enquiries prior to making such decisions.

The information contained in this Explanatory Statement has been prepared based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this Explanatory Statement. The Company has taken reasonable steps to ensure that this Explanatory Statement contains the information reasonably necessary to enable the Scheme Parties to make an informed decision about the effect of the Scheme on them.

In assisting the Company to prepare this Explanatory Statement, none of the Advisors have verified that the information contained in this Explanatory Statement is in accordance with facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the accuracy of such information and each of those persons expressly disclaims responsibility for such information.

Nothing contained in this Explanatory Statement shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the Company's future financial performance or that of the Group.

Any summary of the principal provisions of the Scheme contained in this Explanatory Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Scheme itself. Each Scheme Party is advised to read and consider carefully the text of the Scheme and in the event of a conflict between the information and terms described in this Explanatory Statement and the Scheme, the terms of the Scheme shall prevail.

Legal, Tax and Financial Advice

The contents of this Explanatory Statement shall not be construed as legal, tax or financial advice. Each Scheme Party is recommended to consult its own professional advisers as to legal, tax or financial advice.

Forward Looking Statements

This Explanatory Statement contains certain forward looking statements with respect to the Company and the Group and certain plans and objectives of the boards of the Company or the Group (as applicable). These forward looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward looking statements often use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "goal", "believe", "will", "may", "should", "would", "could" or other words of similar meaning. These statements are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made by the directors (as applicable) of the Group in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe appropriate. None of directors of the Company and the directors of any of the Group companies, the Company, the Group companies or any other person represents or warrants that our future results, performance or achievements will be as discussed in those statements. By their nature, forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainty, and the factors described in the context of such forward looking statements in this document could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such forward looking statements.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. Given the risks and uncertainties that may cause our future results, performance or achievements to be materially different from that expected, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Explanatory Statement, undue reliance must not be placed on these

545804-4-6-v4.0 2 17-40739547

statements. Neither the directors of the Company or any of the Group companies, nor the Company or the Group, assume any obligation to update or correct any forward looking statements contained in this Explanatory Statement to reflect any change of expectations with respect thereto or any change in the event, situation or circumstances on which any such forward looking statement was based.

Documents Received

You will have been notified by way of advertisement in the Straits Times, the Business Times, and Lianhe Zaobao, and, by way of announcement on SGXNet, that the following documents have been published on the Hyflux's website:

1. this Explanatory Statement;

3. proxy forms to enable Scheme Parties to vote at the Scheme Meetings; and

The Company will circulate the draft Implementation Deed and the draft Restructuring Documents set out in schedules to the Implementation Deed to Scheme Parties via the same or other appropriate manner prior to the Scheme Meetings.

In light of the evolving COVID-19 situation and the accompanying uncertainty, as well as taking into consideration the measures introduced and recommended by the Singapore Government, including restrictions on large organised events, the Company is still considering the best approach to holding the Scheme Meetings. In the event of any further developments, the Company will update the Scheme Parties via SGXNet or such other means as may be appropriate as soon as practicable.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

To: the Scheme Parties

17 March 2020

THIS EXPLANATORY STATEMENT CONCERNS MATTERS WHICH MAY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND ENTITLEMENTS AND YOU MAY THEREFORE WISH TO TAKE

APPROPRIATE LEGAL ADVICE ON ITS CONTENTS

Dear Sir/Madam,

Proposed scheme of arrangement ("Scheme") in relation to Hydrochem (S) Pte Ltd ("Company") under Section 210 of the Companies Act (Chapter 50, 2006 Revised Edition) of the Republic of Singapore ("Act")

1. Introduction

1.1 On 22 May 2018, the Company's holding company, Hyflux Ltd ("Hyflux"), announced that applications have been made to the Court pursuant to Section 211B(1) of the Act to commence a court supervised process to reorganise the liabilities and businesses of Hyflux and five (5) of its subsidiaries, namely, the Company, Hyflux Engineering Pte Ltd ("HE"), Hyflux Membrane Manufacturing (S) Pte Ltd ("HMM"), Hyflux Innovation Centre Pte Ltd ("HIC") and Tuaspring Pte LTd ("Tuaspring"). The applications for HIC and Tuaspring were subsequently aborted.7

1.2 Thereafter, Hyflux conducted a competitive process to pursue strategic investments in the overall business of the Group as part of the Restructuring. On 18 October 2018, Hyflux entered into a restructuring agreement (the "SMI Restructuring Agreement") with SM Investments Pte. Ltd. ("SMI"). The SMI Restructuring Agreement was terminated on 4 April 2019 and the scheduled scheme meetings to vote on the schemes of arrangement as contemplated under the SMI Restructuring Agreement were cancelled.

1.3 Following termination of the SMI Restructuring Agreement, Hyflux resumed a competitive process to pursue alternative strategic investments. On 26 November 2019, Hyflux announced that it had entered into a restructuring agreement (the "Restructuring Agreement")8 with Utico FZC (the "Investor") pursuant to which:

(a) the Investor, through the Investment SPV, will subscribe to such number of new Shares representing 95% of the enlarged issued share capital of Hyflux for an aggregate subscription amount of S$300,000,000; and

(b) the Investment SPV will grant Hyflux a working capital line of a maximum amount of S$100,000,000,

(together, the "Proposed Investment").

7 More information on the Restructuring can be accessed at: https://www.hyflux.com/financial-

reorganisation-exercise/ 8 A copy of which is set out under Appendix B of this Explanatory Statement.

545804-4-6-v4.0 5 17-40739547

1.4 A condition precedent to the Restructuring Agreement coming into effect is the full and final settlement and/or discharge of the General Claims. See paragraphs 10.8 to 10.13 of this Explanatory Statement setting out other conditions precedent to the Proposed Investment and the effectiveness of the Scheme.

1.5 In connection with the Restructuring and as contemplated under the Restructuring Agreement, the Company intends to enter into a compromise and arrangement with the Scheme Parties in respect of all Scheme Claims pursuant to the terms of the Scheme.

1.6 For a snapshot of the effect of the Scheme, the payouts thereunder and the expected returns, please refer to Appendix F of this Explanatory Statement and paragraphs 10.16 to 10.20 of this Explanatory Statement. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to inform the Scheme Parties of the background and effect of the Scheme. It is written and issued pursuant to Section 211 of the Act and in accordance with the applicable procedure and guidance laid down in the Act and by the Court. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, capitalised expressions used shall have the meanings set out in Appendix A of this Explanatory Statement.

1.7 Please note that this Explanatory Statement does not form the basis of the legal contract between the Company and the Scheme Parties. The legally binding contract between the Company and the Scheme Parties in the event the proposed scheme of arrangement is approved by the Scheme Parties and sanctioned by the Court is the Scheme. The Company has prepared this Explanatory Statement on a best efforts basis, but makes no warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information provided herein. The Company reserves the right to amend or supplement this Explanatory Statement and/or the information contained herein.

2. What is a Scheme of Arrangement?

2.1 A scheme of arrangement is a statutory procedure under Singapore law which allows a company to agree a compromise or arrangement with parties to whom it owes obligations towards (or classes of parties), and for the terms of that compromise or arrangement to bind any non-consenting or opposing minority parties.

2.2 A scheme of arrangement becomes effective if:

(a) it is approved by a majority in number (above 50%) representing at least 75% in value of each class of scheme parties present and voting at each scheme meeting;

(b) it is sanctioned by the Court; and

(c) a sealed copy of the order of Court sanctioning the scheme of arrangement is lodged with ACRA.

2.3 The purpose of the Scheme is to effect a compromise and arrangement between the Company and the Scheme Creditors which will apply to all Scheme Claims. If the Scheme becomes effective, it will bind the Company and all the Scheme Parties according to its terms, including those Scheme Parties who did not vote on the Scheme or who voted against it, irrespective of where in the world those Scheme Parties reside or have their seat.

2.4 The Scheme cannot be sanctioned by the Court unless the court is satisfied, among other things, that the relevant provisions of the Act have been complied with and is fair and reasonable (i.e. an intelligent and honest person, a member of the class concerned and acting in respect of his or her own interest, might reasonably approve the scheme of arrangement.)

5. Background to the Scheme

The Group's Businesses

5.1 As a global provider of sustainable solutions, the Group is committed to resource optimisation and sustainable development. The Group is a specialist in water treatment with full value chain capabilities spanning research and development, manufacturing, engineering, procurement and construction as well as operations and maintenance. Among the top desalination plant providers globally, the Group has developed landmark projects including one of the world’s largest seawater reverse osmosis desalination plants in Algeria and Asia’s first integrated water and power plant in Singapore. In addition to seawater desalination and water treatment, the Group has expanded its offerings to include power and waste-to-energy.

5.2 The Group carries out its business activities in the following key segments:

(a) Engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning ("EPC") services: The development of large-scale desalination, integrated water and power plants and waste-to-energy plants lies at the core of the Group’s business. Depending on the client’s tender specifications, such construction projects are executed on an EPC, Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) or Build-Own-Operate (BOO) basis.

(b) Operations and maintenance ("O&M") services: The Group also operates water, wastewater, water recycling and desalination plants worldwide over concession periods of up to 30 years.

Background to the Restructuring

5.3 The Group entered the power industry with the Tuaspring Integrated Water and Power Project ("Tuaspring IWPP"), the first desalination plant in Singapore and Asia with an

Page 16: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 13 17-40739547

on-site power plant that could supply electricity to the project, as well as Singapore's national power grid. The Group's financial difficulties are largely due to its investment in Tuaspring IWPP. Although the outlook for the Singapore power market was favourable at the time the Group was awarded the Tuaspring IWPP project, the excess power generation capacity in Singapore, coupled with the weak demand in the Singapore market resulted in depressed electricity prices, resulting in significant losses for Tuaspring, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyflux. This had in turn adversely impacted the Group's financial performance since 2016 when the power plant commenced operations. The impact of the weak Singapore power market, coupled with an increase in the reserve margin required by the Energy Market Authority, drove the Group to record its first full year loss for 2017, which continued into the first quarter of 2018. This resulted in the Group having to inject more cash to support the operations of the power plant. While the Group embarked on a divestment exercise for the Tuaspring IWPP in early 2017, the divestment process took longer than anticipated. The need to providing funding to support the operations of the Tuaspring IWPP, coupled with the uncertainty of the divestment of the Tuaspring IWPP or a significant capital injection, raised the real possibility of a liquidity crunch by the middle of May 2018.

5.4 This was compounded by challenges on the repatriation of monies into Singapore from its overseas subsidiaries, as well as increased requirements for monies to be placed in fixed deposit accounts for performance bonds to be issued or renewed in support of the existing projects.

5.5 To address these challenges, preserve value, seek urgently needed capital injection and maintain a sustainable capital structure, the Hyflux board took the view that a transparent and court supervised reorganisation process was in the best interests of all of the stakeholders of the Group and hence applied to the Court to commence the Restructuring.

Steps taken during the Restructuring

5.6 As part of the Restructuring:

(a) the Group conducted a competitive exercise to pursue strategic investments in the overall business of the Group ("Investor Search Process"), which culminated in the execution of the Restructuring Agreement with the Investor as described above at paragraphs 1.2 and 1.3;

(b) the Group adopted various austerity measures to limit costs and expenses of the Group during the Restructuring;

(c) in relation to the Tuaspring IWPP:

(i) the PUB purchased the desalination plant pursuant to the provisions of the water purchase agreement between PUB and Tuaspring ("WPA"), and agreed to waive any compensation sum that may be payable by Tuaspring to PUB under the WPA; and

(ii) Malayan Banking Berhad ("Maybank"), the sole secured creditor of Tuaspring, appointed receivers and managers over the assets of Tuaspring (save for the assets purchased by PUB);

(d) the Group reached an overall settlement with the MHI Group and the lenders to the TuasOne WTE Project, which will ensure continued liquidity for the purposes of constructing the TuasOne WTE Project and allow the TuasOne WTE Project to be completed;

(e) the Group successfully reached an agreement with the Bank of China Limited, Tianjin Dagang Branch ("BOC") to restructure the terms of a loan facility of RMB 617 million ("Tianjin Dagang Loan") for the construction of the 100,000 m3/day seawater desalination plant in Dagang City, Tianjin Province, PRC ("Tianjin Dagang Plant"); and

545804-4-6-v4.0 14 17-40739547

(f) the Group divested its interest in 150,000 shares of PT Oasis Waters International in consideration of S$32 million as part of the Group's efforts to streamline its business activities, improve liquidity and focus on its core activities in the infrastructure sector.

Investor Search Process

5.7 Following the commencement of the 211B Proceedings, the Group undertook an intensive search process for a strategic investor. This included seeking out potential investors from past interest indicated, advisors' network targeted approach and engaging in discussions with investors who approached the Group or its advisors following the Applications.

5.8 In the light of the high profile of the Group and the media attention received by the 211B Proceedings, there were multiple unsolicited potential investors who approached the Group. All such options were considered, and the Group also took steps to actively seek out potential investors who may have had an interest in investing in the Group to seek out the best option available for stakeholders. After several rounds of discussions with the potential investors, the offers were developed and considered on the basis of the following criteria:

(a) the value of the investment;

(b) the conditions imposed by the offeror/certainty of the offer;

(c) the financial ability of the offeror to complete the investment;

(d) the timing within which the offeror could complete (bearing in mind the liquidity crunch); and

(e) the offeror's synergies with the Group which could effectively revitalise the business.

5.9 On 18 October 2018, Hyflux entered into the SMI Restructuring Agreement.

5.10 Approximately one month before the schemes of arrangements contemplated under the SMI Restructuring Agreement were intended to be voted on, SMI began to act in a manner that evidenced a lack of intention to complete the investment. This conduct led to a great degree of uncertainty over whether SMI would complete the investment even if the scheduled scheme meetings were successful. Eventually, the SMI Restructuring Agreement was terminated on 4 April 2019 after Hyflux accepted SMI's repudiation of the deal. In view of the termination of the SMI Restructuring Agreement, the scheduled scheme meetings were cancelled.

5.11 Following the termination of the SMI Restructuring Agreement, the Group resumed the exercise of pursing alternative investors. On 15 April 2019, Hyflux announced that it appointed nTan Corporate Advisory Pte Ltd ("nTan") as an additional advisor to the Group in the ongoing reorganisation process. Since their appointment, nTan has provided invaluable advice to the Board in navigating the difficult restructuring process and dealing with the myriad of complex conflicting issues and challenges faced by the Company and the Board. nTan has also played a pivotal role in advising the Board in securing and navigating the negotiations with Utico to reach agreement on the Restructuring Agreement as well as in advising the Board on the other potential investors.

5.12 The search process for alternative investors yielded 8 potential parties with some of whom the Group engaged in active discussions. Given the heightened pace of the restructuring process, and the potential for improved returns to stakeholders from a strategic investment (as opposed to a judicial management or liquidation), the Group has prioritised discussions with potential strategic investors in respect of an investment in the entire Group (as opposed to investors interested in specific parts of the Group's business).

Page 18: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 15 17-40739547

5.13 Within one month from the termination of the SMI Restructuring Agreement, Hyflux received a non-binding letter of intent from the Investor for the possible investment of S$400,000,000 in the Group, to be used for equity and working capital purposes as well as possible urgent funding.

5.14 Based on the information provided by the Investor, the Investor is the largest private full service utility and developer in the Middle East. It possesses a reputable track record in the water and power industries, in which Hyflux operates. Its shareholders and investors include sovereign institutions of the governments of Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Brunei.

5.15 Following an extensive period of negotiations the Hyflux board resolved that it was in the best interests of the various stakeholders that the Group enter into the Restructuring Agreement with the Investor on 26 November 2019. Annexed to the Restructuring Agreement is a creditors' term sheet that sets out the proposed terms of the Schemes (the "Creditors' Term Sheet"). In the early stages of the Restructuring, some of Hyflux's stakeholder group representatives were actively involved in the negotiations over the terms of the Creditors Term Sheet, while being continuously updated on the negotiations over the terms of the Restructuring Agreement through weekly meetings, email correspondence and distribution of each turn of the Restructuring Agreement. The Creditors' Term Sheet was then finalised between the Investor and the Company in the interests of pushing the restructuring timetable forward in the interests of all stakeholders.

5.16 The Restructuring Agreement and the proposed Scheme, as part of the wider Restructuring, are intended to serve a dual function:

(a) enable the Group to seek fresh capital that is urgently required to sustain its ongoing businesses and infrastructure projects; and

(b) comprehensively restructure the Group's financial obligations. The Restructuring allows the Company to finally and fully settle its obligations to the Scheme Parties thereby significantly reducing the financial burden on the Company and alleviating pressures on the Company's cash flow.

5.17 The Hyflux board believes that the resolution of the Group's financial difficulties will provide a platform for the Group to stabilise its existing operations as well as pursue new business opportunities in the long term, for the benefit of its stakeholders.

5.18 Following the Restructuring, Hyflux will continue to operate across the entire water value chain (including developing, operating and owning water desalination plants, waste water treatment plants, etc.), which is its core area of expertise. It will pursue business opportunities along with the Investor to enhance shareholder and stakeholder value.

Disposal of the Tuaspring IWPP

5.19 The Tuaspring IWPP is an integrated water desalination and power plant. The Tuaspring IWPP was developed through Tuaspring and was funded through a combination of non-recourse project financing debt (with Maybank as the sole secured lender to Tuaspring), shareholder loans and equity from Hyflux. The shareholder loans and equity from Hyflux to Tuaspring were funded from the proceeds of the issuance of the S$400 million Preference Shares, two earlier issuances of perpetual capital securities totalling S$475 million and other corporate debt of Hyflux. For the purpose of redeeming these earlier issuances of perpetual capital securities, Hyflux subsequently raised the S$500 million Perpetual Capital Securities.

5.20 At the time of the project's development, the outlook for the Singapore power market was very favourable and the Tuaspring IWPP was projected to be profitable. The technical and financial viability of Tuaspring IWPP model was validated and approved by various parties, including regulators, professional advisors and project finance lenders.

5.21 However, the subsequent oversupply of gas in the Singapore market led to depressed electricity prices in the wholesale market. This in turn resulted in significant losses for Tuaspring from electricity generation. In early 2017, after Tuaspring was operational, in line with its business model and asset light strategy, Hyflux embarked on a divestment exercise of the Tuaspring IWPP to improve the Group's liquidity. However, challenges arising from (i) the losses from the electricity generation, (ii) the lack of potential buyers' understanding of the market risks in the Singapore power market compared to other jurisdictions, as well as (iii) the prolonged process of obtaining offtaker approval for the prequalification of bidders to receive information, and conduct due diligence, on Tuaspring, resulted in a protracted sale process and difficulties in procuring and retaining bidders' interest in the divestment process.

5.22 Under the SMI Restructuring Agreement, it was contemplated that the Tuaspring IWPP would remain within the Group's portfolio, and that SMI's investment would in turn pave the way for the resolution of the Group's financial difficulties (including those associated with the Tuaspring IWPP). Alongside the restructuring efforts with SMI, the Group had also conducted a competitive bidding exercise for the divestment of the Tuaspring IWPP pursuant to an agreement to a collaborative consensual sale process with Maybank, the secured lender to Tuaspring (who holds security over the Tuaspring IWPP) ("Collaboration Agreement"), as well as working with PUB, the off-taker, and other interested parties to maximise the number of pre-qualified bidders for the Tuaspring IWPP. However, only a limited number of parties were eventually pre-qualified to receive the necessary information on the project, which limited the marketing of the Tuaspring IWPP divestment. Ultimately, of the two pre-qualified parties, only one proceeded to make a bid and that bid was subject to conditions which, even if met, would not have resulted in recovery sufficient to even repay Maybank's secured debt. The Group therefore focused its efforts on the completion of the investment contemplated under the SMI Restructuring Agreement.

5.23 On 5 March 2019, Tuaspring received a notice from the PUB, asserting that defaults under the WPA had occurred. The PUB notice stipulated that Tuaspring had 30 days from the date of the notice to remedy the alleged defaults (i.e. by 5 April 2019). A press release issued by PUB also on the same day stated that if Tuaspring failed to remedy the alleged defaults, PUB would exercise its right to terminate the WPA and take control of the desalination plant. Upon request for clarification from Tuaspring, PUB then informed Tuaspring that should it elect to purchase the desalination plant, it would be willing to waive any compensation sum that may be payable by Tuaspring to PUB pursuant to the WPA. PUB subsequently extended the cure period from 5 April 2019 to 30 April 2019, save that such extension would be immediately rescinded if inter alia approval for Hyflux's scheme of arrangement in respect of the SMI investment was not obtained at the meeting of its creditors on 5 April 2019.

5.24 Following the termination of the SMI Restructuring Agreement and the cancellation of the scheme meetings, on 17 April 2019, the PUB issued a notice of termination notifying Tuaspring that the previous extension of the cure period was rescinded on 5 April 2019, and provided for a 30 day notice period, at the end of which the WPA was terminated on 18 May 2019. Further, PUB elected to purchase the desalination plant of the Tuaspring IWPP pursuant to the provisions of the WPA.

5.25 Maybank has since terminated the Collaboration Agreement and appointed receivers and managers over the assets of Tuaspring (including the power plant), save for the desalination plant purchased by PUB. It is expected that the receivers and managers will conduct a sale process for the power plant and remaining assets not acquired by PUB and the proceeds, after the costs of the receivership, will go towards discharging the secured debt owed to Maybank. Any excess will only be received by Hyflux's creditors once the liabilities at Tuaspring are fully settled. In turn, such surplus (if any) will be need to be distributed to the Unsecured Scheme Parties first before any funds can be distributed to the P&P Scheme Parties. Given the challenges previously faced with procuring and retaining bidders' interest in the divestment process and that the only bid was not sufficient to repay Maybank's secured debt, the Group is of the view that there is unlikely to be any returns to Hyflux from its investment in Tuaspring. On 12

March 2020, YTL Power International Berhad (“YTL”) released an announcement on the Malaysian stock exchange, Bursa Malaysia, that YTL and Taser Power Pte. Ltd. (“Taser”) have, on 12 March 2020, entered into a put and call option agreement with the receivers and managers of Tuaspring to acquire the Tuaspring power plant for a total purchase consideration of S$331.45 million. Completion of this put and call option agreement is conditional on, inter alia, approval of the Public Utilities Board of Singapore and the Energy Market Authority of Singapore, and completion of financing arrangements.

5.26 The disposal of the Tuaspring IWPP has nonetheless reduced the Group's working capital needs, which would have otherwise been significantly greater given the Tuaspring IWPP's significant funding needs for its operations, and the exclusion of such loss-making projects from the Group's portfolio have attracted investors that may have previously not been willing to continue funding such projects as part of their investment proposal.

TuasOne WTE Project

5.27 The TuasOne WTE Project is an ongoing project for the construction and development of the TuasOne waste-to-energy plant ("TuasOne WTE Plant"). In 2015, Hyflux and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Limited ("MHIL") entered into a consortium agreement to prepare and submit a tender to the National Environment Agency ("NEA") to develop a waste-to-energy plant under a Design-Build-Own-Operate scheme. In connection with this tender, TuasOne Pte Ltd ("TuasOne") was incorporated with Hyflux and MHIL as shareholders (in the proportion of 75% and 25% respectively). TuasOne entered into a WTE services agreement with NEA to develop the TuasOne WTE Project, and to provide waste treatment services exclusively to NEA for 25 years. Hydrochem was engaged as the EPC contractor to the TuasOne WTE Project.

5.28 As a capital intensive project, the Group has been closely engaged with the MHIL Group and the lenders to TuasOne on a liquidity support plan that would allow for the TuasOne WTE Project to have sufficient funding until completion of the TuasOne WTE Plant. On 15 February 2019, the Group executed a definitive binding settlement agreement with the MHI Group, to resolve certain disputes between the Group and the MHI Group in respect of the TuasOne WTE Project, and address certain operational matters regarding the TuasOne WTE Project, so as to facilitate the cooperation of all parties working together to complete the TuasOne WTE Project.

5.29 The Group continued to engage the MHI Group and the TuasOne lenders on the terms of further drawdowns under the TuasOne facility, so as to ensure the availability of sufficient resources to complete the TuasOne WTE Project. As part of the discussions, parties had explored the possibility of novating the EPC contract to a MHI subsidiary for the purposes of completing the TuasOne WTE Project, to ensure the stability and completion of the TuasOne WTE Project. In turn, this would preserve value for Hyflux, as the value of its 75% shareholding in TuasOne is dependent on the TuasOne WTE Project being completed, and operating so as to receive payments from NEA as the off taker.

5.30 Following these negotiations, the Group and the MHI Group entered into the MHI Settlement Agreement on 26 December 2019, the terms of which include the novation of the TuasOne EPC contract from Hydrochem to MHIAP, a subsidiary of the MHI Group (the "TuasOne EPC Novation"). As at the date of the TuasOne EPC Novation, Hydrochem estimates that it has completed approximately 96.8% of the works for the TuasOne WTE Project. With the novation, the MHI Group will be responsible for the remaining 3.2% of the works. The MHI Settlement Agreement also provides for the

545804-4-6-v4.0 18 17-40739547

release and discharge of claims, including those between the MHI Group on the one hand, and the Group on the other.11

5.31 In essence, the MHI Settlement Agreement provides for an overall settlement between the Group (including TuasOne), the MHI Group, and the lenders to the TuasOne WTE Project, which will ensure continued funding for the TuasOne WTE Project. The continued funding would, in turn, ensure completion of the TuasOne WTE Project, which is currently expected to be in January 2021, and the preservation of the Group's stake in the TuasOne WTE Project. The MHI Settlement Agreement resolves certain contingent liabilities and uncertainties and therefore creates more stable conditions for the Restructuring.

5.32 For the avoidance of doubt, the TuasOne EPC Novation will not affect the Company's shareholding nor stake in TuasOne, which will continue to undertake operations and maintenance for the TuasOne WTE Plant after it has reached commercial operations.

Tianjin Dagang Plant

5.33 The Group was engaged to develop, construct and provide operation and maintenance work for the Tianjin Dagang Plant, a 100,000 m³/day seawater desalination plant in Dagang City, Tianjin Province, PRC. To finance the development of the project, Hyflux's wholly owned subsidiary, Tianjin Dagang Newspring Co Ltd ("TJDG Newspring"), had on 11 March 2009 entered into the Tianjin Dagang Loan (a loan tenure of 15 years) with BOC.

5.34 As part of the ongoing efforts to restructure the Group's liabilities, Hyflux entered into negotiations with BOC to restructure the terms of the Tianjin Dagang Loan, and subsequently reached an extension plan of the Tianjin Dagang Loan. Pursuant to the extension plan, the maturity date of the Tianjin Dagang Loan has been extended by a further 3 years to 2026, with an adjusted repayment schedule reflecting lower annual repayments. BOC will also be provided with a pledge of the TJDG Plant, which is owned by TJDG Newspring. The extension plan is expected to ease pressure on TJDG Newspring's cash flow in the short to medium term.

PT Oasis

5.35 On 19 November 2018, the Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hyflux Consumer Products Pte. Ltd., disposed of its 150,000 shares in its Indonesian bottled drinking water business, PT Oasis. The disposal was at the book value of the asset, for a total consideration of S$32 million (subject to a compulsory withholding tax in Indonesia of 5%), and was made to Clivers Company Limited. This disposal provided some short-term liquidity to meet the Group's working capital needs.

7. Rationale for the Scheme and potential alternatives

7.1 While the Group is currently facing financial difficulties, the Board believes that the Group has a viable business and will continue to trade as a going concern if its current financial obligations and liabilities are restructured and/or compromised and the contemplated Investment under the Restructuring Agreement is completed.

7.2 The Board believes that the Restructuring pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement and the proposed Scheme would benefit all stakeholders, including the Scheme Parties who would receive a greater return under the Scheme than under a

Page 26: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 23 17-40739547

winding up of the Company. In coming to this conclusion, the Board has taken into account the following considerations:

(a) It is anticipated that, under the terms of the Restructuring, the Scheme Parties will receive a substantially better return over time on the amount owed to them than they would do if the Company was placed into winding up, the liquidation of the Company being the expected outcome in the event that the Restructuring fails and is not implemented13. The Scheme Parties are directed to (i) a copy of the liquidation analysis prepared by Ernst & Young Solutions LLP ("EY") which can be found under Appendix G of this Explanatory Statement (the "EY Liquidation Analysis") and which sets out an estimate of what the Scheme Parties might obtain if the Company were to enter into liquidation following a failure of the Restructuring, and (ii) a copy of the estimated returns to Scheme Parties under the Scheme prepared by the Group and its advisors (the "Estimated Returns Analysis") which can be found under Appendix F of this Explanatory Statement.

(b) It is estimated that if the Company is placed into winding up, which the Board expects to be the case in the event that the Scheme does not become effective and the Restructuring does not complete, the Scheme Parties will not stand to recover from their Scheme Claims14.

(c) It is estimated that pursuant to the Restructuring (which requires the Scheme to be effective), the average estimated return for each General Claimant will be S$5,000 plus a recovery of approximately 8.5% to 20%15.

(d) The better outcomes referred to above will result from cash distributions to be made to Scheme Parties from the proceeds of the Proposed Investment.

(e) The approval of the Hyflux Scheme and the Subsidiary Schemes will enable a mutually beneficial restructuring of the Group's indebtedness, in order to achieve the following outcomes (as set out at paragraph 5.16 above):

(i) comprehensively restructure the Group's financial obligations. The Restructuring allows the Company to finally and fully settle its obligations to the Scheme Parties thereby significantly reducing the financial burden on the Company and alleviating pressures on the Company's cash flow; and

(ii) to enable the Group to seek fresh capital that is urgently required to sustain its ongoing businesses and infrastructure projects. In this regard, Hyflux has been pursuing potential strategic investments for the Group. In line with this business objective, the Restructuring will enable Hyflux to maximise the value of the Group entities (including the Company), and to ensure the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the Group with a view to deliver value to its shareholders and other stakeholders.

(f) It is expected that the Group will emerge expeditiously from these proceedings having restructured the Group's financial obligations and finally and fully settled its obligations to the Scheme Parties. Given that the Scheme Parties will receive

13 Upon commencement of liquidation of Hyflux, being the ultimate holding company of the Group,

many of the other Group entities (including the Company) are also assumed to enter liquidation on or around the same time. Consequently, it is also assumed that construction activities on various projects of the Group would immediately cease.

14 The ranges presented in the EY Liquidation Analysis are illustrative only, based on certain assumptions made by the Group and EY and therefore the actual recoveries could be greater or less than those percentages.

15 The average estimated percentage returns per Scheme Party illustrated in the Estimated Returns Analysis are illustrative only, based on certain assumptions made by the Group and its advisors and therefore the actual recoveries could be greater or less than those percentages.

Page 27: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 24 17-40739547

a substantially better return over time on the amount owed to them than they would do if the Company was placed into winding up, the Group hopes that the Restructuring will enjoy support from the Scheme Parties. Hyflux accordingly considers that the Restructuring will effect a fair and commercial compromise and arrangement of the rights of the Scheme Parties and one which will enhance the financial position of the Group as well as that of Scheme Parties.

7.3 If the Restructuring is not completed by the Group within a reasonable timetable, given the cash flow issues facing the Group, the Group may face the possibility of no further extensions of the moratorium being granted under the 211B Proceedings and the creditors making demand and seeking recourse in the Court or elsewhere for unpaid amounts due and owing. The Board has concluded that it is necessary to pursue the Scheme in order to facilitate the Restructuring of the Group's overall indebtedness and to avoid winding-up of the Group. Hyflux has also been approached by two other investors. In particular, a proposal was made by a third party, Aqua Munda Pte Ltd ("Aqua Munda") to all senior creditors of Hyflux to purchase the debt that is owed to them by Hyflux. The offer was announced by Hyflux via SGXNet on 17 December 2019 pursuant to a request by Aqua Munda which subsequently furnished an information memorandum dated 27 December 2019. On 19 February 2020 Hyflux also received a letter from Longview International Holdings Ltd. ("Longview") expressing its interest in investing in Hyflux together with a joint venture partner, an undisclosed major Chinese entity. The Longview offer was announced by Hyflux via SGXNet on the same day. The terms of the proposed investment by Longview have not been made available to Hyflux. Given the uncertainty surrounding the Aqua Munda and Longview offers, as of the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company believes that the proposed investment by the Investor is currently the only viable offer available to Hyflux.

7.4 Accordingly, the Board recommends that the Scheme Parties vote in favour of the Scheme to be proposed at the Scheme Meetings.

8. Rationale for classes of Scheme Parties

8.1 The law requires that Scheme Parties must be split into separate classes and a separate meeting (and vote) held for each class of Scheme Parties where Scheme Parties have rights which are so dissimilar as to make it impossible for them to consult together with a view to their common interest.

8.2 Having considered the existing rights of the Scheme Parties, and the way in which those rights will be compromised under the Scheme, and having taken legal advice, the Company considers that the Scheme Parties should be separated into the following three classes for the purposes of voting on each of the Schemes:

(a) the General Claimants comprise of the General Trade Claimants, who hold General Trade Claims, and the Other Claimants, who hold Other Claims;

(b) HMM which holds the HMM Claim; and

(c) the Subordinated Scheme Parties who hold Subordinated Scheme Claims.

8.3 Three separate classes are required as the rights of the General Claimants, HMM and the Subordinated Scheme Parties are sufficiently dissimilar from each other as to make it impossible for them to consult together with a view to their common interest for the following reasons:

(a) HMM ranks equally with the General Claimants in a liquidation, but is treated differently from the General Claimants under the Scheme, and should therefore be classified separately from the General Claimants; and

(b) the Subordinated Claims rank equally with the General Claimants in a liquidation, but are treated differently from the General Claimants under the Scheme (i.e. the Subordinated Claims are only given a nominal consideration of S$1 under the

Page 28: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 25 17-40739547

Scheme), and should therefore be classified separately from the General Claimants.

8.4 The Company considers that within each proposed class, the creditors' rights are not so dissimilar from each other as to make it impossible for them to consult together with a view to their common interest, given that the relative rights of the creditors within each class.

8.5 In light of the above, the Company will hold three Scheme Meetings; one at which the General Claimants will be invited to vote, one at which HMM will be invited to vote, and one at which the Subordinated Scheme Parties will be invited to vote.

9. Inter-conditionality of the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme and the other Subsidiary Schemes

9.1 The continued effectiveness of the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme and the other Subsidiary Schemes is interdependent so that if (i) the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme or any of the other Subsidiary Schemes is not approved by the requisite majority of Scheme Parties (as defined under the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme or any of the other Subsidiary Schemes, as applicable), (ii) a Court order sanctioning the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme or any of the other Subsidiary Schemes is not obtained for the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme or any of the other Subsidiary Schemes, or (iii) any Court order sanctioning the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme or any of the other Subsidiary Schemes is not registered with ACRA, the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme or any of the other Subsidiary Schemes will not become effective and the implementation of the Restructuring will not be possible.

10. Salient terms of the Scheme

Claims and approval process

10.1 The notices to file the relevant Proof of Claim required under the Act to participate in the Scheme Meetings and to receive payments under the Scheme were published on 9 January 2020, 5 February 2020 and 27 February 2020.

(e) On the day of the Scheme Meetings, the Chairman will provide each Scheme Party with a copy of the updated list of Scheme Parties with Accepted Scheme Claims.

10.3 All Accepted Claims will be determined as at the Record Date. Any alleged Scheme Claim(s) not denominated in Singapore dollars (S$) shall be converted to its value in Singapore dollars (S$) using the Base Currency Conversion Rate.

10.4 The Company will send in writing the results of the adjudication to every Scheme Party who has filed a Proof of Claim.

Excluded Claims and other claims not subject to the Scheme

10.5 For the purposes of the Scheme, the following Claims are Excluded Claims that will not be affected by the Scheme:

(a) Any Claim arising under or in respect of the Facilities, which are to be compromised under the scheme of arrangement which has been proposed by Hyflux.

(b) Any Claim arising under or in respect of the finance documents and the project documents in relation to the TuasOne Facility and any Claim arising under or in respect of the agreements set out in paragraph (c)(i) to (c)(vi) of the definition of "Excluded Claim" in the Scheme.

545804-4-6-v4.0 27 17-40739547

and for the Group and the MHI Group to settle all disputes between them in respect of the TuasOne WTE Project.

(e) Any Claim arising under or in respect of the QDC EPC Contract, which is contemplated to be completed and in respect of which there remain ongoing negotiations with the lenders in relation to the QDC EPC Contract for the purpose of allowing the Qurayyat IWP to meet the requirements of the offtaker, but only to the extent any such Claim cannot by law be extinguished, waived or compromised or no longer be a Liability of the Company under the Scheme.

(f) Any Claim arising under or in respect of the matters set out in paragraph (g) to (i), (l) and (m) of the definition of "Excluded Claim" in the Scheme, which are contingent Liabilities arising from bonds and guarantees that must be maintained if the Group is to continue its EPC business.

(g) Any Claim of HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited (in its capacity as trustee of Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust) Limited arising under or in respect of the leases dated 4 April 2005 and 15 February 2017.

(h) Any Claim which is not as at 22 May 2018 a legally valid and binding debt of a definite amount then actually due from the Company, save for Claims set out in Schedule 2 of the Scheme. Claims that arise after 22 May 2018 (other than those set out in Schedule 2 of the Scheme) relate to critical payments of the Company which the Company intends to pay in full.

10.6 Further, creditors with claims of monetary value less than or equal to S$5,000 will not be captured under the Scheme. The Company will separately determine the quantum such claim outside of the Scheme, and settle such claim in full by no later than the Settlement Date.

10.7 Also, sub-suppliers with claims in relation to the Khurais Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plant project should also note that they will not be entitled to participate in and/or receive entitlements under the Scheme in respect of such claims, as these claims will be settled by Saipem pursuant to an agreement dated 30 January 2019 between the Company, HMM, Hydrochem Saudi Limited and Saipem.

Schemes Effectiveness

10.8 The Scheme shall become effective on the Schemes Effective Date, being the date on which the latest of the Scheme Effective Date, the Hyflux Scheme Effective Date, the HE Scheme Effective Date and the HMM Scheme Effective Date occurs (i.e. the date on which the latest Court order sanctioning the Scheme, the Hyflux Scheme, the HE Scheme and the HMM Scheme (after it has been approved by the relevant scheme parties) is registered with ACRA. The Company will notify the Scheme Parties via an announcement made on SGXNet that the Schemes Effective Date has occurred.

10.9 As described in more detail in paragraph 11, the Scheme will, from the Schemes Effective Date, grant authority to the Scheme Manager to accede to the Implementation Deed (in its capacity as the Scheme Manager and on behalf of the Scheme Parties) and to execute certain other documents required to implement the Restructuring Steps contemplated by and in connection with the Scheme and the Implementation Deed (such documents being the "Restructuring Documents") to take effect in accordance with the terms of the Implementation Deed.

Completion, Restructuring Effective Date and Settlement Date

10.10 The continued effectiveness of the Scheme is contingent upon (and the Settlement Date will be determined by) (i) Completion Date under the Restructuring Agreement, and (ii) Restructuring Effective Date occurring under and in accordance with the Implementation Deed. This is in turn contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions Precedent under the Implementation Deed (including the conditions precedent under the Restructuring Agreement), including but not limited to:

Page 31: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 28 17-40739547

(a) the approval by the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of the New Shares to be issued by Hyflux to the Investor;

(b) the Investor obtaining the necessary whitewash waiver from the Securities Industries Council

(c) the approval by Hyflux's shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of Hyflux for the allotment and issue of the New Shares to be issued Hyflux to the Investor and for the waiver of their right to receive a general offer pursuant to Rule 14 of the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers arising from the Proposed Investment; and

(d) Hyflux obtaining the necessary approval, consent and waiver from the National Environment Agency in respect of the TuasOne WTE Project.

10.11 The Restructuring Steps to take effect on the Restructuring Effective Date shall take effect in accordance with the steps set out in the Implementation Deed.

10.12 If: (i) the Restructuring Effective Date does not occur on or before the Long-Stop Date, or (ii) the Restructuring Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms prior to the Restructuring Effective Date, regardless of the Scheme having become effective on the Scheme Effective Date, the Scheme will be terminated and the compromise and arrangements thereunder shall be of no effect and shall be construed as if it had never become effective.

10.13 The Scheme Parties will be notified via an announcement made on SGXNet that the Completion Date and the Restructuring Effective Date have occurred.

10.14 The Settlement Date will occur on the date falling 7 Business Days after the Restructuring Effective Date.

10.15 The Scheme Parties will be notified via an announcement made on SGXNet that the Settlement Date has occurred.

Cash consideration under Scheme

10.16 Pursuant to discussions with the Investor, S$10 million of the Investment Amount has been allocated as at the Restructuring Effective Date to satisfy all claims against the Company, HE and HMM. This amount has been allocated between the three entities based on an evaluation of the liquidation analysis to allow recovery, at the first payout date, of at least as much as the high case in the liquidation scenario. Of this S$10 million, approximately S$4.45 million has been allocated to the Company for the purpose of the Scheme (being the amount equal to the Base General Claims Cash Consideration).

10.17 Further, pursuant to the terms of the TuasOne EPC Contract and the MHI Settlement Agreement, the Company will receive a Trade Creditors' Payment, of which (i) 32.65% will be utilised for settlement of the Accepted General Claims (i.e. the Additional General Claims Cash Consideration); and (ii) 17.35% will be paid to HMM for settlement of claims under the HMM Scheme (i.e. the HMM Claim Cash Consideration).

10.18 Each Subordinated Scheme Party will receive a nominal sum of S$1 for its Subordinated Claim.

Cash distribution under Scheme

10.19 Payments under the Scheme are expected to be as follows:

(a) Payment of S$1 to each Subordinated Scheme Party;

(b) Distribution of the Base General Claims Cash Consideration of S$4.45 million to all General Claimants on the Settlement Date in the following manner:

Page 32: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 29 17-40739547

(i) payment of S$5,000 each to all General Claimants with Accepted General Claims;

(ii) a pro rata distribution of the remaining amount after payment under paragraph 10.19(b)(i) (i.e. the Initial General Claim Cash Payout) to all General Claimants with Accepted General Claims based on the value of their respective Accepted General Claim (after deducting S$5,000 from such value).

(c) Distribution of the Trade Creditors' Payment within 28 days of the Company receiving the same in the following manner:

(i) a pro rata distribution of the Additional General Claims Cash Consideration (i.e. the Final General Claims Cash Consideration) to all General Claimants with Accepted General Claims based on the value of each Accepted General Claim (after deducting S$5,000 from such value); and

(ii) Distribution of the HMM Claim Cash Consideration to HMM.

10.20 The last day for any distributions to be made under the Scheme is the Distribution Expiry Date, i.e., the date falling 2 ½ years after the Restructuring Effective Date. Upon the Distribution Expiry Date, Scheme Parties shall no longer be entitled to any distributions under the Scheme, even if there remain certain distributions that have not been made by the Distribution Expiry Date. For example, if the Company does not receive the Trade Creditors' Payment prior to the expiry of the Distribution Expiry Date, then General Claimants will no longer be entitled to the payout to be made upon receipt of the Trade Creditors' Payment.

Discharge and Extinguishment of Scheme Claims

10.21 On the Restructuring Effective Date, each Scheme Party shall give the undertakings, releases and waivers as set out in Clause 5 of the proposed Scheme.

10.22 For the avoidance of doubt, the undertakings, releases and waivers set out in Clause 5 of the Scheme do not apply to Excluded Claims.

Remuneration of Scheme Manager

10.23 The Scheme Manager shall be remunerated according to what is fair, reasonable and adequate given the Scheme Manager's roles and responsibilities set out in the scheme and prevailing market conditions. Based on the structure of the scheme, it is envisaged that the work to be done can broadly be divided into work that is: (i) complex and requires considerable expertise or judgment; and (ii) time-intensive but generally less complex.

10.24 The first category (work involving considerable "value contribution"), includes the adjudication of proofs, conduct of the scheme meetings, attending to queries from Scheme Parties, re-basing and calculation of distributions under the Scheme (other than the initial distribution that is to be made on the Settlement Date), dealing with surplus amounts, addressing challenges to the Scheme Manager's decisions and the assessment of liabilities that crystallise and liabilities that are extinguished save in obvious situations. All disputes, court proceedings and matters involving an independent assessor as provided for under the Proof Regulations will be part of this category.

10.25 This category of work will be remunerated on a time–incurred basis using standard hourly rates and handled by a team staffed at appropriate levels of seniority.

10.26 The second category of work involves more time spent especially in light of the varied nature of the obligations being schemed and the large number of Scheme Parties. This category includes administrative tasks, co-ordination of logistics and reconciling of documents and verification of data. This category also includes other tasks which do

Page 33: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 30 17-40739547

require more judgment to be exercised in addition to considerable man-hours such as the preparing of the various lists of creditors and the corresponding amounts that have been claimed, admitted and/or rejected, the review of supporting documents from Scheme Parties against the company's records and following up on further documents and information required, computation and work associated with the initial distribution on the Settlement Date, computing the various cash payouts under the Scheme, and the facilitating of requests for inspection of Proofs of Claim.

10.27 This category of work will similarly be remunerated on a time–incurred basis using standard hourly rates and handled by a team staffed at appropriate levels of seniority but a discount will be applied on the total fees incurred.

Modifications

10.28 The Scheme contains provisions allowing the Company to, prior to the calling of any Scheme Meeting, delete, modify, amend or add to the terms of the Scheme which the Company (upon further consultation with Scheme Parties as necessary or relevant) may think fit or appropriate for the implementation of the Restructuring.

10.29 The Scheme also contains provision for the Company, at any Court hearing to sanction the Scheme, to consent on behalf of itself and all Scheme Parties to any modification of, or addition to, or to any condition to the Scheme which the Court may think fit to approve or impose which is necessary for the implementation of the Restructuring. The Court would be unlikely to approve any modification of, or addition to, or impose a condition to, the Scheme which might be material to the interests of the Scheme Parties unless Scheme Parties were informed of such modification, addition, or condition. It would be for the Court to decide, in its discretion, whether or not a further meeting of Scheme Parties should be held in those circumstances.

10.30 The Scheme Manager may at any time convene Eligible Scheme Parties' Meeting(s) to consider any amendments to the Scheme that are procedural in nature, provided that such amendments do not have an adverse effect on any of the Scheme Parties and/or their rights under the Scheme.

Releases

10.31 The terms of the Scheme also release the Company and any other member of the Group (including their respective Personnel (including current and former officers and directors) and Affiliates) from any claims in relation to or arising out of or in connection with:

(a) any liability in respect of the preparation, negotiation, sanctioning or implementation of the Scheme and/or the Restructuring; and

(b) any liability arising under or in connection with any Scheme Claims, save for any claims in relation to or arising out of or in connection with any entitlements to Scheme Consideration.

11. Implementation of the Restructuring

11.1 The Restructuring will be implemented pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Documents and, in particular, the Implementation Deed which is to be entered into between amongst others, the Investor, the Investment SPV, Hyflux and the Company. Pursuant to the Scheme, the Scheme Manager will be authorised to, amongst other things, accede as a party to the Implementation Deed on behalf of the Scheme Parties and take such steps or actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable to give effect to the terms, or otherwise implement the transactions contemplated by the Implementation Deed and the Restructuring Documents. The Scheme Manager shall accede to the Implementation Deed as soon as practicable after the Scheme Effective Date and shall become bound by the terms of the Implementation Deed in its capacity as the Scheme Manager and on behalf of the Scheme Parties.

Page 34: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 31 17-40739547

11.2 Under the Implementation Deed, the Restructuring steps to be completed will commence on the Business Day after all of the Conditions Precedent have been satisfied (or waived) and a notice confirming satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent has been issued by Hyflux. The Restructuring Steps shall include the implementation of the terms of the Scheme, the Restructuring Agreement, and shall also include the release of all of the Scheme Claims.

11.3 The steps to occur pursuant to the Implementation Deed include:

(a) As soon as possible after the Scheme Effective Date, the Scheme Manager will sign each Restructuring Document to which it is expressed to be a party on its own behalf and on behalf of the Scheme Parties who are expressed to be a party to them (acting as their attorney and agent pursuant to the terms of the Scheme).

(b) On the date on which Hyflux has received documents and/or seen evidence in form and substance satisfactory to it to satisfy the Conditions Precedent, Hyflux will issue a notice confirming satisfaction of Conditions Precedent. Issuing of the notice will trigger a "Restructuring Commencement Time" which is the time on which the "Completion Date" (as defined in the Restructuring Agreement) will take effect and the Restructuring Steps will take place in the order set out in the Implementation Deed. The Restructuring Steps are inter-conditional. To the extent that any of the steps are not completed on the Restructuring Effective Date, each of the steps will be deemed not to have become effective and will be unwound to the extent legally possible.

(c) Immediately upon the occurrence of the Restructuring Commencement Time, the Investor shall irrevocably pay the Completion Amount and the Additional Completion Amount to Hyflux and/or the Escrow Agent. Subject to the previous agreement between Hyflux and the Investor, the Bank Guarantee will either be called upon or the Investor will pay the Deposit Amount in cash.

(d) Certain Restructuring Documents will be released (in the order set out below but subject to the inter-conditionality described above):

(i) the Working Capital Line Facility Agreement;

(ii) the documents required to allot T1 Shares to the Investor and the Co-Investors;

(iii) other documents required to be delivered by Hyflux to the Investor pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Agreement;

(iv) the documents required to appoint New Directors to the Board of Hyflux;

(v) the Instruction Letters, the New Security Documents, the New Finance Documents (each as defined in the Implementation Deed) and the Escrow Agreement; and

(vi) the Release Documents (as defined in the Implementation Deed).

(e) Immediately following the release of the Release Documents, the releases contained in clause 5 of the Scheme shall take effect and accordingly all of the rights, title and interests of the Scheme Parties to and in the Scheme Claims shall be discharged and released (save for any claims in relation to or arising out of or in connection with any entitlements to Scheme Consideration).

11.4 Immediately upon the completion of the final Restructuring Step, Hyflux will deliver the Restructuring Completion Notice and will make an announcement on SGXNet that the Completion Date and Restructuring Effective Date have occurred.

Page 35: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 32 17-40739547

11.5 On or before the Settlement Date, which is due to occur 7 Business Days after Restructuring Effective Date, the following steps will take effect:

(a) the Company and/or the Scheme Manager shall make or procure the Escrow Agent to make the payments, allocations and distributions described at paragraphs 10.19 above; and

(b) the Company and/or the Scheme Manager shall make or procure the Escrow Agent to make the payments, allocations and distributions in accordance with the terms of the Subsidiary Schemes and other payments as described in the Implementation Deed,

or in each case, procure that such payments are irrevocably instructed.

11.6 Immediately upon completion of the steps described at paragraph 11.5 above, the Scheme Manager will deliver the Settlement Date Steps Completion Notice and Hyflux will make an announcement on SGXNet that the Settlement Date occurred.

11.7 The Implementation Deed will be substantially in the form distributed to the Scheme Parties prior to the Scheme Meetings.

12. Interests of Directors

12.1 Section 211(1) of the Act requires that this Explanatory Statement discloses any material interests of the directors of the Company, whether as directors or as members, creditors or holders of units of shares of the Company or otherwise, and the effect thereon of the compromise or arrangement in so far as it is different from the effect on the like interests of other persons.

12.2 The Company is not aware of any relevant interests of its directors as at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

13. Risk Factors

13.1 In considering whether to vote in favour of the Scheme, each Scheme Party should carefully consider all of the information contained in this Explanatory Statement and in particular the risk factors described below, which are not exhaustive. There may be other risks other than that highlighted below, and Scheme Parties should also consider all other risks relevant in the circumstances.

13.2 Risk of Scheme not being sanctioned by the Singapore Court: Even if the required majority of votes is secured from Scheme Parties in support of the Scheme (which cannot be assured) at the Scheme Meetings, the Scheme is still subject to the approval of the Court. The Court will not sanction the Scheme unless the Court is satisfied, among other things, that the relevant provisions of the Act have been complied with and that the Scheme is fair and reasonable (i.e. an intelligent and honest person, a member of the class concerned and acting in respect of his or her own interest, might reasonably approve the scheme of arrangement (see above at paragraph 2.4)). There can be no assurance as to the Court's decision in this regard.

13.3 Risk of the Scheme being objected to: Even if the Scheme is approved at the Scheme Meetings, it is possible for a person with an interest in the Scheme (whether a Scheme Party or otherwise) to object to the scheme. They may attend or be represented at the Court sanction hearing in order to make representations that the Scheme should not be approved and to appeal against the granting of the Court order sanctioning the Scheme. Therefore, it is possible that objections will be made at or before the sanction hearing or that an appeal will be made against the granting of the Court order sanctioning the Scheme and that any such objections or appeal will delay or prevent the Restructuring.

13.4 Risk of Hyflux Scheme and other Subsidiary Schemes not being approved by the requisite majority of creditors: Even if the Scheme is approved by the requisite

Page 36: Proposal in relation to a SCHEME OF …...(d) If you wish to, you may object to the Chairman's adjudication of your Proof of Claim or another Scheme Party's Proof of Claim at a time

545804-4-6-v4.0 33 17-40739547

majorities of Scheme Parties, the effectiveness of the Scheme is inter-conditional with the effectiveness of the Hyflux Scheme as well as the other Subsidiary Schemes (see paragraph 9 above). The effectiveness of the Hyflux Scheme as well as the other Subsidiary Schemes is contingent on (i) the Subsidiary Schemes being approved by the requisite majority of Scheme Parties (as defined under the Hyflux Scheme and each other Subsidiary Scheme), (ii) the Court sanctioning the Hyflux Scheme and each other Subsidiary Scheme at the relevant Court sanction hearing, and (iii) any Court order sanctioning the Hyflux Scheme and the other Subsidiary Schemes being registered with ACRA.

13.5 Risk of Scheme Meetings not being completed on the timeline envisaged in this Explanatory Statement: Factors unknown to the Company at the date of this Explanatory Statement may result in delays to the completion of the Restructuring.

13.6 Risk of not receiving the necessary approval from Hyflux's shareholders: Even if the Scheme is sanctioned by the Court, its effectiveness is nonetheless contingent on, among other things: (i) the approval by the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of the New Shares to be issued by Hyflux to the Investor, (ii) the Investor obtaining the necessary whitewash waiver from the Securities Industries Council and (iii) the approval by Hyflux's shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of Hyflux for the allotment and issue of the New Shares to be issued by Hyflux to the Investor and for the waiver of their right to receive a general offer pursuant to Rule 14 of the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers arising from the Proposed Investment (see above at paragraph 10.10).

13.7 Risk of the Restructuring not being completed before the Group runs out of cash: Even if the required majority of votes is secured from Scheme Parties in support of the Scheme at the Scheme Meetings, the Restructuring may not be completed before the Group runs out of cash. Absent an unexpected deterioration in market conditions, the Group should not run out of cash prior to the date it is expected that the Scheme will become effective. However, if the Restructuring is not completed by the end of 2020, the board of one or more of the Group companies may determine that the Restructuring is no longer feasible and that they have no option but to take steps to place that company into some other form of insolvency proceedings.

13.8 Risk of the conditions to completion of the Restructuring not being fulfilled: Even if the Scheme is approved by the requisite majorities of Scheme Parties and the Scheme Effective Date occurs, in order for the Restructuring to be implemented there are other conditions that need to be fulfilled for Completion under the Restructuring Agreement and Restructuring Effective Date to occur (see above at paragraph 10.10). If the Scheme does not become effective and/or the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied or waived, the Restructuring Effective Date will not occur and the Restructuring will not take effect. If the Restructuring does not occur, the Group will not benefit from the restructuring of the debt and the injection of funds pursuant to the Proposed Investment and the Group companies would be very likely to enter into insolvency processes which would result in a severe risk to creditors' returns.

13.9 Risk of the Restructuring Agreement terminating: Even if the Scheme is approved by the requisite majorities of Scheme Parties, in order for the Restructuring to be implemented the Restructuring Effective Date must occur on or prior to the Long-Stop Date. If the Restructuring Effective Date does not occur on or prior to the Long-Stop Date, the Restructuring Agreement will terminate. The Restructuring Agreement may also terminate in accordance with its terms prior to the Restructuring Effective Date in which case the Restructuring will not take effect (see above at paragraph 10.11).

13.10 Risk of the Proposed Investment not materialising: The Investor and the Investment SPV are entities independent of the Company and the Group and neither the Group nor the Company have been able to assess the financial standing of the Investor or the Investment SPV. Factors unknown to the Company or the Group as of the date of this Explanatory Statement may result in the Proposed Investment not materialising.

1. Total Realizable Assets

► Please note that these returns represent amounts received by Hydrochem only. Returns shown are primarily due to realizations fromother assets including intercompany receivables and income tax receivables.

2. Preferential claims

► Pursuant to Section 328 of the Singapore Companies Act, the costs and expenses of the winding up including taxes and liquidator’sexpenses, fees and disbursements shall be paid in priority to all other unsecured debt.

► The estimated employee claims of approximately S$8m is based on the assumption of early termination of employees upon liquidationand this claim amount is updated based on the employee salary and headcount information as at March 2019.

► Liquidators’ expenses, fees and disbursements have been estimated to cover fees and expenses of the liquidator up to the dissolutionof the liquidation, including the estimated costs of any retained employees to oversee the asset realizations. However, the liquidators’expenses do not take into account professional fees of external parties. We assume that there are no complex matters required to behandled by the liquidator during the process of liquidation.

3. Unsecured creditors

► The unsecured creditors refer to the bank creditors, contingent creditors, trade creditors and other creditors. The liquidation analysiswas performed based on the available position of liabilities at the time of preparation of this analysis dated 4 July 2019:

► Trade and other liabilities as at 30 September 2018; and

Purpose of this

analysis

► This Document is an updated liquidation analysis report.

► Our analysis has been prepared solely for Hyflux Ltd for the purpose of the Debt Restructuring Exercise. Theanalysis details the estimated realizations from a theoretical liquidation scenario of Hydrochem.

Approach of this

analysis

► The analysis has been prepared on a ‘bottom-up’ basis where liquidation or sales of assets occur at each individualstandalone entity. This approach takes into account the intercompany flows within the Group which will be importantto the ultimate return to Hydrochem. In this analysis, recoveries to the creditors of Hydrochem includes the valuerecovered from its subsidiaries (including outside of Singapore in a number of cases). Additional analysis wasperformed to further consider the estimated realization values derived from material projects (including outside ofSingapore in a number of cases) which may be available to Hydrochem.

► In our analysis we have taken into account some of the standard practices (i.e. the likelihood of repayments fromlocal debtors, the ability of an overseas liquidator to enforce security (where relevant) upon local entities and theease of repatriating cash) that are specific to certain jurisdictions that could possibly have an impact on the ultimateliquidation returns of Hydrochem.

Estimated returns

to unsecured

creditors

► The estimated total return to unsecured creditors in a liquidation scenario is nil recovery in both Low case and Highcase, based on the assumptions detailed in this analysis. We consider that returns to creditors (preferential claimsonly) could take up to 5 years to deliver given the market norms in dealing with the complex and multi-jurisdictionalstructure of the Group.

Overarching

assumptions

The overarching key assumptions that underpin our analysis are as follows:

1. Insolvency date as at 30 September 2018

► The analysis is based on the balance sheet as at 30 September 2018 (proxy to the moratorium date of 22 May

2018 and being the latest unaudited publicly available consolidated financial statements). Where possible, we

have reflected the updated balances based on certain known material events up to 4 July 2019 resulting in an

increase in liabilities since 30 September 2018 (e.g. the calling of performance bonds, proof of debts from the

adjudication exercise in March 2019 and restructuring costs incurred up to 24 May 2019). As such, any other

events post the assumed liquidation date are not considered in the analysis.

► The analysis does not include intercompany realizations from associates and JVs within the Group.

2. Impact of Hyflux Ltd’s liquidation

► Upon commencement of liquidation of Hyflux Ltd who is the ultimate holding company of the Group, many of the

other Group entities (including Hydrochem and the EPC business generally) are also assumed to enter

liquidation on or around the same time. Consequently, we also assume that construction activities on projects

would immediately cease.

3. Employees

► Most of the employees would have their contracts of employment terminated immediately upon liquidation. We

assume only a small base of skeleton staff would be retained by the liquidator to assist with the realization of

assets.

4. Material asset owning entities / investments

► We have assumed that certain asset owning entities / investments which do not require financial support from

Hyflux Ltd, are not placed into liquidation and are instead realized through the sale of shares via an orderly sale

process.

assumptions

5. Debt profile

► All debt in Hydrochem is unsecured. Only the bank facilities, performance bonds and certain other liabilities are

guaranteed by Hyflux Ltd.

► In addition to the liabilities reflected on the balance sheet, Hydrochem also has off balance sheet exposure to

corporate guarantees and/or performance bonds relating to certain EPC works. It has been assumed that all of

these contingent liabilities have crystallised.

6. Adjustments to estimated recoveries

► Where assets are held in challenging or complex jurisdictions, we have applied a discount to the likely

recoverability. However, specific local insolvency laws in jurisdictions that may prove challenging to repatriate

cash, have not been examined in further detail.

► The available cash as at 30 September 2018 has been assumed to be partly used for operational purposes,

with 20% of the balance available for creditors. Any amounts held in fixed deposit / reserve accounts are

assumed to be set off in full against the bank creditors’ unsecured claims.

► The balance sheet contains multiple items such as PPE, stocks, prepayments, trade and other receivables and

these items are assumed to be realized in a range of 0%-20%. Please note that trade and other receivables

relate to third party receivables.

Assumptions –

Low case

► The Low case estimates returns to unsecured creditors where liquidation or sales of assets occur at each individualstandalone entity and we assume that the environment in which the liquidator is trying to realize value from theassets / investments is very challenging.

► The Low case also includes forced sales on certain assets necessitated by the absence of working capital facilitieswhich reduces a liquidator’s ability to transact for maximum value.

Assumptions-

High case

► The High case has factored a greater stability into the liquidation process as a whole, largely the key assets /investments could be realized at a higher value.
