Potential Share Price Impact
Investors should pay close attention to the outcome of the ongoing strategic review and discussions with the Sponsor. Any transaction that may arise from these talks—such as a sale, merger, or restructuring—could be highly price sensitive and may significantly affect the value of ACRO-HT’s Stapled Securities. However, at present, no deal has been confirmed and there is no assurance that any transaction will occur.
The Managers have committed to making the appropriate announcements in compliance with SGX listing rules should any material development occur. Until then, shareholders are advised to refrain from taking any premature action and to exercise caution when dealing in ACRO-HT securities.
