Update as at 30 May 2020, 12.20 am.

We refer to:

  • our announcement dated 8 April 2020 on the extension of time granted by the Singapore Exchange Regulation and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority to hold the AGM by 29 June 2020;
  • the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 passed by Parliament on 7 April 2020 which enables the Minister for Law by order to prescribe alternative arrangements for listed companies in Singapore to, inter alia, conduct general meetings, either wholly or partly, by electronic communication, video conferencing, tele-conferencing or other electronic means; and
  • the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Alternative Arrangements for Meetings for Companies, Variable Capital Companies, Business Trusts, Unit Trusts and Debenture Holders) Order 2020 (the “Order”) which was gazetted on 13 April 2020, and which sets out the alternative arrangements in respect of, inter alia, general meetings of companies.
Date, time and conduct of AGM
 
GSS Energy is pleased to announce that pursuant to the Order, its AGM will be convened and held by electronic means, on 22 June 2020 at 10.00 am.
 
Important advisory due to COVID-19 outbreak
 
The AGM is an important event in the Company’s corporate calendar as part of our engagement with our shareholders. We would normally encourage and welcome shareholders to attend and participate in our AGM. However, we are faced with an abnormal situation this year due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

  • No personal attendance at AGM. Due to the current COVID-19 restriction orders in Singapore, shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM in person.
  • Alternative arrangements for participation at AGM. Shareholders may participate at AGM by:
  1. attendance at the AGM via electronic means (including arrangements by which the meeting can be electronically accessed via live audio-visual webcast or live audio-only stream);
