(1) | the right to transfer shares in the Company shall be restricted in the manner hereinafter appearing; and |
(2) | subject to the Act, the number of members of the Company (counting joint holders of shares as one person and not counting any person in the employment of the Company or of its subsidiary or any person who while previously in the employment of the Company or of its subsidiary was and thereafter has continued to be a member of the Company) shall be limited to fifty. |
Share Capital and Variation of Rights
4. | Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class of shares but subject to the Act, shares in the Company may be issued by the directors and any such shares may be issued with such preferred, deferred, or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital, or otherwise, as the directors, subject to any ordinary resolution of the Company, determine. |

5. | Subject to the Act, any preference shares may, with the sanction of an ordinary resolution, be issued on the terms that they are, or at the option of the Company are liable, to be redeemed. |
6. | The Company shall not exercise any right in respect of treasury shares other than as provided by the Act. Subject thereto, the Company may hold or deal with its treasury shares in the manner authorized by, or prescribed pursuant to, the Act. |
7. | If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a special resolution passed by holders of the shares of the class. To every such special resolution the provisions of these articles relating to resolutions of the Company shall mutatis mutandis apply, but so that where the special resolutions are passed at a general meeting, the necessary quorum shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy one-third of the issued shares of the class and that any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

8. | The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking equally therewith. For the purposes of this article, any of the Company’s issued share capital held as treasury shares and the Company as a holder of treasury shares shall be disregarded. |
9. | The Company may pay commissions or brokerage on any issue of shares at such rate or amount and in such manner as the directors may deem fit. Such commissions or brokerage may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the allotment of fully or partly paid shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. |
10. | Except as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and the Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or unit of a share or (except only as by these articles or by law otherwise provided) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder. |
11. | Every person whose name is entered as a member in the register of members shall be entitled without payment to receive a certificate under the seal of the Company in accordance with the Act but in respect of a share or shares held jointly by several persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate, and delivery of a certificate for a share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders. For the purposes of this article, any of the Company’s issued share capital held as treasury shares and the Company as a holder of treasury shares shall be disregarded. |
Lien
12. | The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all money (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time in respect of that share, and the Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on all shares (other than fully paid shares) registered in the name of a single person for all money presently payable by him or his estate to the Company; but the directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this article. The Company’s lien, if any, on a share shall extend to all dividends payable thereon. |
3
13. | The Company may sell, in such manner as the directors think fit, any shares on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, nor until the expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the share, or the person entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy. |
14. | To give effect to any such sale the directors may authorise some person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale. |
15. | The proceeds of the sale shall be received by the Company and applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue, if any, shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale. |
Calls on Shares
16. | The directors may from time to time make calls upon the members in respect of any money unpaid on their shares and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed times and each member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen days’ notice specifying the time or times and place of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times and place so specified the amount called on his shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the directors may determine. |
17. | A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the directors authorising the call was passed and may be required to be paid by instalments. |
18. | The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof. |
19. | If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the sum from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate not exceeding 8 per cent per annum as the directors may determine, but the directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part. |
20. | Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on allotment or at any fixed date, shall for the purposes of these articles be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date on which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable, and in case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these articles as to payment of interest and expenses, forfeiture, or otherwise shall apply as if the sum had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. |
21. | The directors may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment. |
4
22. | The directors may, if they think fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same all or any part of the money uncalled and unpaid upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any part of the money so advanced may (until the same would, but for the advance, become payable) pay interest at such rate not exceeding (unless the Company shall otherwise resolve) 8 per cent per annum as may be agreed upon between the directors and the member paying the sum in advance. |
Transfer of Shares
23. | Subject to these articles any member may transfer all or any of his shares by instrument in writing in any usual or common form or in any other form which the directors may approve. The instrument shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferor shall remain the holder of the shares transferred until the transfer is registered and the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members in respect thereof. |
24. | The instrument of transfer must be left for registration at the office of the Company together with such fee not exceeding S$1.00 as the directors from time to time may require, accompanied by the certificate of the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer, and thereupon the Company shall subject to the powers vested in the directors by these articles register the transferee as a shareholder and retain the instrument of transfer. |
25. | The directors may decline to register any transfer of shares to a person of whom they do not approve and may also decline to register any transfer of shares on which the Company has a lien. |
26. | The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for such periods as the directors may from time to time determine not exceeding in the whole thirty days in any year. |
Transmission of Shares
27. | In case of the death of a member the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by him with other persons. |
28. | Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time properly be required by the directors and subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself as holder of the share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof, but the directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that member before his death or bankruptcy. |
29. | If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he elects to have another person registered he shall testify his election by executing to that person a transfer of the share. All the limitations, restrictions, and provisions of these articles relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by that member. |
5
30. | Where the registered holder of any share dies or becomes bankrupt his personal representative or the assignee of his estate, as the case may be, shall, upon the production of such evidence as may from time to time be properly required by the directors in that behalf, be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages, and to the same rights (whether in relation to meetings of the Company, or to voting, or otherwise), as the registered holder would have been entitled to if he had not died or become bankrupt; and where two or more persons are jointly entitled to any share in consequence of the death of the registered holder they shall, for the purposes of these articles, be deemed to be joint holders of the share. |
Forfeiture of Shares
31. | If a member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call or instalment remains unpaid serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued. |
32. | The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. |
33. | If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the directors to that effect. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited shares and not actually paid before the forfeiture. |
34. | A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the directors think fit, and at any time before a sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the directors think fit. |
35. | A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all money which, at the date of forfeiture, was payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares (together with interest at the rate of 8 per cent per annum from the date of forfeiture on the money for the time being unpaid if the directors think fit to enforce payment of such interest), but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of all such money in respect of the shares. |
36. | A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a director or the secretary of the Company, and that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. |
37. | The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a forfeited share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold or disposed of and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale, or disposal of the share. |
6
38. | The provisions of these articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. |
Conversion of Shares into Stock
39. | The Company may by ordinary resolution convert any paid-up shares into stock and reconvert any stock into paid-up shares. |
40. | The holders of stock may transfer the same or any part thereof in the same manner and subject to the same articles as and subject to which the shares from which the stock arose might previously to conversion have been transferred or as near thereto as circumstances admit; but the directors may from time to time fix the minimum amount of stock transferable and restrict or forbid the transfer of fractions of that minimum. |
41. | The holders of stock shall according to the amount of the stock held by them have the same rights, privileges and advantages as regards dividends voting at meetings of the Company and other matters as if they held the shares from which the stock arose, but no such privilege or advantage (except participation in the dividends and profits of the Company and in the assets on winding up) shall be conferred by any such aliquot part of stock which would not if existing in shares have conferred that privilege or advantage. |
42. | Such of the articles of the Company as are applicable to paid-up shares shall apply to stock, and the words “share” and “shareholder” therein shall include “stock” and “stockholder”. |
Alteration of Capital
43. | The Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution do one or more of the following:- |
(1) | increase the share capital by such sum as the resolution shall prescribe; |
(2) | consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital; |
(3) | subdivide its shares or any of them, so however that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount (if any) unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and |
(4) | cancel the number of shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution in that behalf have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person or which have been forfeited and diminish the amount of its share capital by the number of the shares so cancelled. |
44. | Subject to any direction to the contrary that may be given by an ordinary resolution of the Company, all new shares shall, before issue, be offered to such persons as at the date of the offer are entitled to receive notices from the Company of general meetings in proportion, as nearly as the circumstances admit, to the amount of the existing shares to which they are entitled. The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered, the proposed issue price and terms of payment of the shares, and limiting a time within which the offer, if not accepted, will be deemed to be declined, and, after the expiration of that time, or on the receipt of an intimation from the person to whom the offer is made that he declines to accept the shares offered, the directors may dispose of those shares in such manner as they think most beneficial to the Company at such issue price and payment terms which are no more favourable than as set out in the offer. The directors may likewise so dispose of any new shares which (by reason of the ratio which the new shares bear to shares held by persons entitled to an offer of new shares) cannot, in the opinion of the directors, be conveniently offered under this article. |
7
45. | The Company may by special resolution reduce its share capital, in any manner and with, and subject to, any incident authorised, and consent required by law. |
46. | The Company may, subject to and in accordance with the Act, purchase or otherwise acquire shares in the issued share capital of the Company on such terms and in such manner as the Company may from time to time think fit. Any share that is so purchased or acquired by the Company shall, unless held in treasury in accordance with the Act, be deemed to be cancelled immediately on purchase or acquisition. On the cancellation of a share as aforesaid, the rights and privileges attached to that share shall expire, and where any such cancelled share was purchased or acquired out of the capital of the Company, the amount of the share capital of the Company shall be reduced accordingly. |
General Meetings
47. | The Company shall, hold annual general meetings or dispense with the holding of annual general meetings, in accordance with the provisions of the Act. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings. |
48. | Any director may whenever he thinks fit, convene an extraordinary general meeting, and extraordinary general meetings shall be convened on such requisition or in default may be convened by such requisitionists as provided by the Act. |
49. | Subject to the provisions of the Act relating to agreements for shorter notice, fourteen days’ notice at the least (exclusive of the day on which the notice is served or deemed to be served, but inclusive of the day for which notice is given) specifying the place, the day and the hour of meeting and in case of special business the general nature of that business shall be given to such persons as are entitled to receive such notices from the Company. |
50. | All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at an extraordinary general meeting, and also all that is transacted at an annual general meeting, with the exception of the consideration of the accounts, balance-sheets, and the reports of the directors and auditors, the fixing of the remuneration of directors, the election of directors in the place of those retiring, the declaration of dividends and the appointment and fixing of the remuneration of the auditors. |
Proceedings of the Company
51. | Any resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company may be passed by written means in accordance with the provisions of the Act and these articles. In the event the Company has only one member, the Company may pass a resolution by the member recording the resolution and signing the record. |

Save as herein otherwise provided, two members present in person shall form a quorum, or if the Company has only one member, that member shall form a quorum. For the purposes of this article, “member” includes a person attending as a proxy or as representing a corporation which is a member but does not include the Company as a holder of treasury shares. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of members, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place, or to such other day and at such other time and place as the directors may determine. |

54. | The chairman may, with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Save as aforesaid it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting. |
55. | At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded:- |
(1) | by the chairman; |
(2) | by at least three members present in person or by proxy; |
(3) | by any member or members present in person or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to vote at the meeting; or |
(4) | by a member or members holding shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right. |
Unless a poll is so demanded a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has on a show of hands been carried or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the Company shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution. The demand for a poll may be withdrawn. For the purposes of this article, any of the Company’s issued share capital held as treasury shares and the Company as a holder of treasury shares shall be disregarded.
56. | If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner and either at once or after an interval or adjournment or otherwise as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded, but a poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. |
57. | In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded shall be entitled to a second or casting vote. |
58. | Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, at meetings of members or classes of members, each member entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy or by attorney and on a show of hands every person present who is a member or a representative of a member shall have one vote, and on a poll every member present in person or by proxy or by attorney or other duly authorised representative shall have one vote for each share he holds. For the purposes of this article, any of the Company’s issued share capital held as treasury shares and the Company as a holder of treasury shares shall be disregarded. |
9
59. | In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders; and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members. |
60. | A member who is of unsound mind or whose person or estate is liable to be dealt with in any way under the law relating to mental disorder may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee or by such other person as properly has the management of his estate, and any such committee or other person may vote by proxy or attorney. |
61. | No member shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of shares in the Company have been paid. |
62. | No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at such meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such objection made in due time shall be referred to the chairman of the meeting, whose decision shall be final and conclusive. |
63. | The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing (in the common or usual form) under the hand of the appointer or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointer is a corporation, either under seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised. A proxy may but need not be a member of the Company. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll. |
64. | Where it is desired to afford members an opportunity of voting for or against a resolution the instrument appointing a proxy shall be in the following form or a form as near thereto as circumstances admit:- |
GENIUSU PTE. LTD.
I/We, , of being a member/members of the abovenamed company, hereby appoint of , or failing him, of , as my/our proxy to vote for me/us on my/our behalf at the (annual or extraordinary, as the case may be) general meeting of the company, to be held on the day of 20 , and at any adjournment thereof.

10
66. | A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy or attorney shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or unsoundness of mind of the principal or revocation of the instrument or of the authority under which the instrument was executed, or the transfer of the share in respect of which the instrument is given, if no intimation in writing of such death, unsoundness of mind, revocation, or transfer as aforesaid has been received by the Company at the office before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the instrument is used. |
67. | Without limitation to any provisions of the Act allowing the passing of resolutions by any other written means, and in addition to any procedure allowed under the Act for the passing of resolutions by written means, a resolution in writing signed by all the members or their agents authorized in writing shall (except where a meeting is prescribed by the Act) be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the members duly convened and held, and any such resolution may consist of several documents in like form, each signed by or on behalf of one or more members. In the case of a corporate body which is a member, such resolution may be signed on its behalf by any one of its directors or by any other person (whether identified by name or by reference to the holding of any particular office) duly authorized by such corporate body by resolution of its directors or by other governing body or authorized under any document executed under common seal or any other valid authorization or by power of attorney to sign resolutions on its behalf. The expressions “in writing” and “signed” include approval by telefax, telex, cable, telegram or by electronic means by any such member. |

11
71. | The Company may, by way of written resolutions, or at the meeting at which a director so retires fill the vacated office by electing a person thereto, and in default the retiring director shall if offering himself for re-election and not being disqualified under the Act from holding office as a director be deemed to have been re-elected, unless at that meeting, or by way of written resolutions, it is expressly resolved not to fill the vacated office or unless a resolution for the re-election of that director is put and lost. |
72. | The Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution appoint directors and increase or reduce the number of directors, and may also determine in what rotation the increased or reduced number is to go out of office.

Proceedings of Directors
86. | The directors may meet together for the despatch of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as they think fit. A director may at any time and the secretary shall on the requisition of a director summon a meeting of the directors. |
87. | Subject to these articles questions arising at any meeting of directors shall be decided by a majority of votes and a determination by a majority of directors shall for all purposes be deemed a determination of the directors. In case of an equality of votes the chairman of the meeting shall have a second or casting vote. |
88. | (1) | Other than the office of auditor, a director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company and he or any firm of which he is a member may act in a professional capacity for the Company in conjunction with his office of director for such period and on such terms (as to remuneration and otherwise) as the directors may determine. No director or intending director shall be disqualified by his office from transacting or entering into any arrangement with the Company either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise nor shall such transaction or arrangement or any transaction or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any director shall be in any way interested be avoided nor shall any director so transacting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such transaction or arrangement by reason only of such director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established. |
(2) | Every director shall observe the provisions of the Act relating to the disclosure of the interests of the directors in transactions or proposed transactions with the Company or of any office or property held by a director which might create duties or interests in conflict with his duties or interests as a director. Subject to such disclosure, a director shall be entitled to vote in respect of any transaction or arrangement in which he is interested and he shall be taken into account in ascertaining whether a quorum is present. |
89. | (1) | A director may be or become a director of or hold any office or place of profit (other than as auditor) or be otherwise interested in any company in which the Company may be interested as vendor, purchaser, shareholder or otherwise and unless otherwise agreed shall not be accountable for any fees, remuneration or other benefits received by him as a director or officer of or by virtue of his interest in such other company. |

90. | Any director with the approval of the directors may appoint any person (whether a member of the Company or not) to be an alternate or substitute director in his place during such period as he thinks fit. Any person while he so holds office as an alternate or substitute director shall be entitled to receive notice of meetings of the directors and to attend and vote as a director at any such meeting at which the director appointing him is not present. An alternate director shall be entitled to exercise all the powers of the appointor in his place (except the power to appoint an alternate director) and to sign annual statutory accounts and any directors’ resolutions in writing in place of the appointor. An alternate or substitute director shall not require any share qualification, and shall ipso facto vacate office if the appointor vacates office as a director or if the appointor removes the appointee from office. Any appointment or removal under this article shall be effected by notice in writing under the hand of the director making the same. |
14
91. | The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors may be fixed by the directors, and unless so fixed shall be two if the Company has more than one director, or one, if the Company has only one director. |
92. | The continuing directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the articles of the Company as the necessary quorum of directors, the continuing directors or director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of directors to that number or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose. |
93. | The directors may elect a chairman of their meetings and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within ten minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is unwilling to act, the directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. |
94. | The directors may delegate any of their powers or discretion to committees consisting of one or more members of their body and (if thought fit) one or more other persons co-opted as hereinafter provided. Any committee so formed shall in the exercise of the powers so delegated conform to any regulations which may from time to time be imposed by the directors. Any such regulations may provide for or authorise the co-option to the committee of persons other than directors and for such co-opted members to have voting rights as members of the committee. |
95. | The meetings and proceedings of any such committee consisting of two or more members shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of these presents regulating the meetings and proceedings of the directors, so far as the same are not superseded by any regulations made by the directors under the last preceding article. |
96. | A committee may elect a chairman of its meetings; if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within ten minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting or is unwilling to act, the members present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. |
97. | A committee may meet and adjourn as it thinks proper. Questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes of the members present, and in the case of an equality of votes the chairman shall have a second or casting vote. |
98. | All acts done by any meeting of the directors or of a committee of directors or by any person acting as a director shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any such director or person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified to be a director. |
99. | A resolution in writing signed by a majority of the directors shall be as effective as a resolution duly passed at a meeting of the directors and may consist of several documents in the like form, each signed by one or more directors. The expressions “in writing” and “signed” include approval by telefax, telex, cable, telegram or by electronic means by any such director. In the event the Company has only one director, that director may pass a resolution by recording the resolution and signing the record. In the event the Company has only one director, that director may make a declaration required or authorised to be made under the Act by recording the declaration and signing the record; and such recording and signing of the declaration satisfies any requirement in the Act that the declaration be made at a meeting of the directors. |
15
100. | The directors may meet either in person or by telephone or by other means of communication by which all persons participating in the meeting are able to hear and be heard by all other participants and participation in the meeting in this manner shall be deemed to constitute presence in person at such meeting. The directors participating in any such meeting shall be counted in the quorum for such meeting and all resolutions agreed by the directors in such meeting shall be deemed to be as effective as a resolution passed at a meeting in person of the directors duly convened and held. A meeting conducted by telephone or other means of communication as aforesaid is deemed to be held at the place agreed upon by the directors attending the meeting, provided that at least one of the directors present at the meeting was at that place for the duration of the meeting. |
Managing Directors
101. | The directors may from time to time appoint one or more of their body to the office of managing director (or any equivalent appointment howsoever described) for such period and on such terms as they think fit and, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into in any particular case, may revoke any such appointment. A director so appointed shall not, while holding that office, be subject to retirement by rotation or be taken into account in determining the rotation of retirement of directors, but his appointment shall be automatically determined if he ceases from any cause to be a director. |
102. | A managing director (or any director holding an equivalent appointment) shall, subject to the terms of any agreement entered into in any particular case, receive such remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, or participation in profits, or partly in one way and partly in another) as the directors may determine. |
103. | The directors may entrust to and confer upon a managing director (or any director holding an equivalent appointment) any of the powers exercisable by them upon such terms and conditions and with such restrictions as they may think fit, and either collaterally with or to the exclusion of their own powers, and may from time to time revoke, withdraw, alter, or vary all or any of those powers. |
Secretary
104. | The secretary shall in accordance with the Act be appointed by the directors for such term, at such remuneration, and upon such conditions as they may think fit; and any secretary so appointed may be removed by them. If thought fit, two or more persons may be appointed as joint secretaries. |
Seal |
105. | The directors shall provide for the safe custody of the seal, which shall only be used by the authority of the directors or of a committee of the directors authorised by the directors in that behalf, and every instrument to which the seal is affixed shall be signed (a) by a director and shall be countersigned by the secretary or by a second director or by some other person appointed by the directors for the purpose, or (b) by the sole director in the event the Company has only one director. |
16
Accounts
106. | The directors shall cause proper accounting and other records to be kept and shall distribute copies of the profit and loss accounts, balance-sheets and other documents as required by the Act and shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and place and under what conditions or regulations the accounting and other records of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of members not being directors, and no member (not being a director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or paper of the Company except as conferred by statute or authorised by the directors or by the Company in general meeting or by resolutions of members passed pursuant to these articles. |
Dividends and Reserves
107. | The Company may declare dividends by a resolution of the Company, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors, and no dividend may be declared or paid to the Company in respect of any treasury shares. |
108. | The directors may from time to time pay to the members such interim dividends as appear to the directors to be justified by the profits of the Company, but no dividend may be declared or paid to the Company in respect of any treasury shares. |
109. | No dividend shall be paid otherwise than out of profits or shall bear interest against the Company. |
110. | The directors may, before recommending any dividend, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as reserves which shall, at the discretion of the directors, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied, and pending any such application may, at the like discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the directors may from time to time think fit. The directors may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits which they may think prudent not to divide. |
111. | Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid, but no amount paid or credited as paid on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for the purposes of this article as paid on the share. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; but if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date that share shall rank for dividend accordingly. |
112. | The directors may deduct from any dividend payable to any member all sums of money, if any, presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in relation to the shares of the Company. |
113. | Any resolution of the Company declaring a dividend or bonus may direct payment of such dividend or bonus wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of paid-up shares, debentures or debenture stock of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and the directors shall give effect to such resolution, and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the directors may settle the same as they think expedient, and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the directors. |
17
114. | Any dividend, interest, or other money payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of that one of the joint holders who is first named on the register of members or to such person and to such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, bonuses, or other money payable in respect of the shares held by them as joint holders. |
Capitalisation of Profits
115. | The Company may upon the recommendation of the directors resolve that it is desirable to capitalise any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution, and accordingly that such sum be set free for distribution amongst the members who would have been entitled thereto if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions on condition that the same be not paid in cash but be applied either in or towards paying up any amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares held by such members respectively or paying up in full unissued shares or debentures of the Company to be allotted, distributed and credited as fully paid up to and amongst such members in the proportion aforesaid, or partly in the one way and partly in the other, and the directors shall give effect to such resolution. |
116. | Whenever such a resolution as aforesaid shall have been passed the directors shall make all appropriations and applications of the undivided profits resolved to be capitalised thereby, and all allotments and issues of fully paid shares or debentures, if any, and generally shall do all acts and things required to give effect thereto, with full power to the directors to make such provision by the issue of fractional certificates or by payment in cash or otherwise as they think fit for the case of shares or debentures becoming distributable in fractions, and also to authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the members entitled thereto into an agreement with the Company providing for the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid up, of any further shares or debentures to which they may be entitled upon such capitalisation, or (as the case may require) for the payment up by the Company on their behalf, by the application thereto of their respective proportions of the profits resolved to be capitalised, of the amounts or any part of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing shares, and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such members. |
Notices
117. | A notice may be given by the Company to any member either personally or by sending it by post to him at his registered address, or (if he has no registered address in Singapore) to the address, if any, in Singapore supplied by him to the Company for the giving of notices to him, or by any other methods prescribed by the Act. Where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, prepaying, and posting a letter containing the notice, and to have been effected in the case of a notice of a meeting on the day after the date of its posting, and in any other case at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post. |

118. | A notice may be given by the Company to the joint holders of a share by giving the notice to the joint holder first named in the register of members in respect of the share. |
119. | A notice may be given by the Company to the persons entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member by sending it through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or assignee of the bankrupt, or by any like description, at the address, if any, in Singapore supplied for the purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or (until such an address has been so supplied) by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred. |
120. | (1) | Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner hereinbefore authorised to:- |
(a) | every member (excluding the Company as holder of treasury shares); |
(b) | every person entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member who, but for his death or bankruptcy, would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting; and |
(c) | the auditor (if any) for the time being of the Company. |
(2) | No other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings. |
Winding Up
121. | If the Company is wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company, divide amongst the members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how the division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of any such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, thinks fit, but so that no member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities whereon there is any liability. For the purposes of this article, any of the Company’s issued share capital held as treasury shares and the Company as a holder of treasury shares shall be disregarded. |
Indemnity
122. | Every director, managing director, agent, auditor, secretary, and other officer for the time being of the Company shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company to the extent permitted by the Act. |
