CCM Group Limited Receives Shareholder Approval For Name Change, Diversification Into IT, Rights Issue and Bonus Shares Issue SINGAPORE, 5 August 2014 SGX Catalist-listed CCM Group Limited (CCM), announced today that shareholders have approved its proposals to chart a new corporate strategy via diversification into Information Technology business (IT), change of name to Singapore eDevelopment Limited (SED), and raising new capital via a twelve-for-one Rights Issue and Bonus Shares Issue. At an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held this morning, shareholders voted in favour for CCM to seek fresh opportunities in the IT sector through new business activities in software and hardware development, as well as investing in businesses riding on the mobile internet and cloud computing wave. Shareholders also gave their blessings for CCM to issue twelve rights shares (Rights Issue) at 0.3 Singapore cent each for every existing share held (Rights Shares), and one free bonus share for every Rights Share subscribed for (Bonus Shares) (Bonus Shares Issue). The Rights Issue and Bonus Shares Issue will raise a minimum of S$3.3 million and maximum of up to S$129.1 million in net proceeds based on two substantial shareholders undertakings, the number of bonus and piggyback warrants exercised before the books closure date as well as the number of Rights Shares subscribed for by shareholders to discharge obligations related to the legacy construction business, and accumulate a war chest to fund new businesses in real estate and IT as well as SEDs investment business. Commenting on the successful EGM, Mr. Chan Heng Fai, CEO and Executive Director of CCM, said: We would like to thank shareholders for their vote of confidence and support for the Companys new strategies, the essence of which is aptly encapsulated in our refreshed corporate identity. With a new name, fresh opportunities in real estate, IT and investments in high-growth securities, as well as a potentially improved balance sheet, we are working resolutely to plug the gaps in the legacy construction business and look towards a long-term turnaround corporate strategy.
