NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS CIRCULAR DATED 12 DECEMBER 2016 THIS CIRCULAR IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. If you are in any doubt as to the action that you should take, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser immediately. If you have sold or transferred all your shares in the capital of KrisEnergy Ltd. (the “Company”) of par value US$0.00125 each (“Shares”), please forward this Circular together with the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and the enclosed Depositor Proxy Form or Shareholder Proxy Form (as the case may be) immediately to the purchaser or transferee or to the agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected for onward transmission to the purchaser or transferee, subject to the distribution restrictions set out in this Circular. Approval in-principle has been obtained from the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) for the listing and quotation of the Notes, the Warrants and the New Shares (each as defined herein) on the Main Board of the SGX-ST, subject to certain conditions. The Notes, the Warrants and the New Shares will be admitted to the Main Board of the SGX-ST and official quotation will commence after all conditions imposed by the SGX-ST are satisfied, including (in the case of Warrants) there being a satisfactory spread of holdings of the Warrants to provide for an orderly market in the Warrants. The SGX-ST assumes no responsibility for the correctness or accuracy of any of the statements made, reports contained and opinions expressed in this Circular. Approval in-principle granted by the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of the Notes, the Warrants and the New Shares on the Main Board of the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of the Preferential Offering (as defined herein), the Notes, the Warrants, the New Shares, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. It should be noted that the Warrants may not be listed and quoted on the SGX-ST in the event there is an insufficient spread of holdings of the Warrants to provide for an orderly market in the trading of the Warrants. In such an event, the Warrantholders (as defined herein) will not be able to trade their Warrants on the SGX-ST. However, if the Warrantholders were to exercise their rights, subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrants, to convert their Warrants into New Shares, such New Shares will be listed and quoted on the SGX-ST. INVESTING IN THE NOTES, THE WARRANTS AND THE NEW SHARES INVOLVES RISKS. SEE “RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE PREFERENTIAL OFFERING, THE NOTES, THE WARRANTS AND/OR THE NEW SHARES” IN APPENDIX 8 OF THIS CIRCULAR FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN RISKS TO BE CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH AN INVESTMENT, INCLUDING STRUCTURAL SUBORDINATION OF NOTEHOLDERS (AS DEFINED HEREIN) TO THE COMPANY’S SUBSIDIARIES’ THIRD-PARTY INDEBTEDNESS AND OBLIGATIONS, THE PROCEEDS REALISED FROM A SALE OF THE NOTE SECURITY (AS DEFINED HEREIN) POTENTIALLY BEING INSUFFICIENT FOR NOTEHOLDERS TO RECOVER ALLAMOUNTS DUE ON THE NOTES AND POTENTIAL VOLATILITY IN THE PRICE OF THE NOTES, WARRANTS AND NEW SHARES.
