PRESS RELEASE

Food Junction’s food courts support


Retail Price Watch Group’s initiatives
• In addition, Food Junction’s Privilege Card (at $5 a card including 7% GST)
offers 10% discount at all its food courts including Toast@Work outlets; 5%
discounts at its Tetsu restaurant and SoEZ studios.

SINGAPORE – 8 April 2011 – Mainboard-listed lifestyle food service company Food Junction
Holdings Limited (“Food Junction” or “the Group”) today announced that tenants at all 13
of its food courts in Singapore have rallied together in support of the Government’s Retail
Price Watch Group (“RPWG”) initiatives to help curb inflationary pressures on consumers.

In a unanimous show of support for RPWG’s initiatives, Food Junction and its tenants have
pledged to maintain their prices for the next six months. In doing so, they hope to do their
small part in reining inflation and continue to keep prices affordable for consumers as part
of its corporate social responsibility efforts.

Said Mr Eric Gan, Food Junction’s Chief Financial Officer, “We are very impressed and proud
of our food court tenants for their community spirit. When we first broached the subject
about them revising their price list to reflect the general increase in operating costs, we
were surprised that more than 90% of them indicated they had no intention to do so. We
are pleased that all of our tenants have pledged their support for RPWG’s initiatives on the
premise that there would be no adverse changes to the economic situation or disruption to
food supplies. Many believe that the inflation is only temporary and are confident of the
Government’s ability to rein in rising costs.”

“We are hoping that our loyal customers and consumers at large, will support Food
Junction’s outlets and increase patronage at our stalls, and that the higher sales volume will
more than mitigate any raw material cost increases,” he said.

Mr Gan added that the scale of participation among Food Junction’s tenants spoke volumes
about their support for the RPWG programme, which was strictly voluntary. This support to
maintain prices is very much part of the Group’s creed to bring wholesome, affordable food
to a wide spectrum of customers, and also part of its commitment to serve the community it
operates in. Food Junction will continue to work closely with its partners, including tenants
and landlords, to ensure that the Group delivers its brand promise to always bring value to
its customers.

As an extension of this promise, Food Junction’s Privilege Card, which was re-launched in
November 2010, offers a 10% discount at all Food Junction food courts and Toast@Work
outlets, and 5% discount at its Tetsu Japanese restaurant at Tanglin Mall and SoEZ cooking
studios at Great World City and United Square. At $5 a card (GST included), the Food
Junction Privilege Card will also help to stretch the dollar for its customers.
