Singapore – January 13, 2025: Tiong Seng Holdings Limited has secured in-principle approval from the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) for the listing and quotation of 20,000,000 new ordinary shares. These shares, priced at S\$0.10 each, will be issued to Continental Steel Pte Ltd, generating an aggregate consideration of S\$2,000,000.

Conditions for SGX-ST Approval

The approval is subject to the following conditions:

• Compliance with SGX-ST’s continuing listing requirements.
• Submission of the following documents:
  • A written undertaking from Tiong Seng Holdings to comply with Rules 704(30) and 1207(20) of the SGX-ST Listing Manual regarding the use of proceeds. Specifically, if proceeds are used for working capital, the company must disclose detailed breakdowns in announcements and annual reports.

Potential Implications for Shareholders
