OTHER EVENTS
Acquisition of shares in Thakral Corporation Ltd
CYI's acquisition of 264,000,000 newly-issued shares of Thakral Corporation Ltd
("TCL") described in CYI's February 7, 2005 press release was completed on March
23, 2005. As a result, CYI holds a 14.99% stake in TCL.
Revolving credit facility
As an additional source of funding for the business diversification plan
described in CYI's February 7, 2005 press release, CYI entered into an unsecured
revolving credit facility with a bank in Singapore on March 23, 2005. The
facility may be used to finance CYI's business expansion and diversification
related activities and the maximum amount available thereunder is US$25,000,000.
The facility is available for three years. The terms of the facility require
that Hong Leong Asia Ltd ("HLA") retain ownership of CYI's special share and
that CYI remain a consolidated subsidiary of HLA. The terms of the facility also
include certain financial covenants with respect to CYI's tangible net worth and
net gearing ratio throughout the tenor of the facility, as well as negative
pledge provisions and customary drawdown requirements and events of default.
Payment of fees to Hong Leong Management Services Pte Ltd
The independent directors on the CYI board of directors have authorized CYI to
pay to Hong Leong Management Services Pte Ltd ("HLMS") certain fees for services
performed by HLMS on behalf of CYI in implementing CYI's business
diversification plan. HLMS provides management and other services to members of
the Hong Leong group of companies, and is an affiliate of HLA. As a result of
HLMS's involvement and assistance, CYI completed its private placement of
US$25,000,000 convertible bonds on February 23, 2005, and completed the
acquisition of its 14.99% stake in TCL on March 23, 2005. Accordingly, the
independent directors have authorized payment by CYI to HLMS of US$500,000 for
the convertible bond placement and S$150,000 for the TCL acquisition. HLMS may
also receive fees for the establishment of the US$25,000,000 revolving credit
facility described above, as well as upon completion of the proposed
restructuring of CYI as contemplated by the July 2003 Agreement.
