Governance Announcement Regarding Chair, Mr. Lee Joo Hai

PGG Wrightson Limited (PGW) notes that the PGW Board of Directors have been informed that its Chair, Mr. Lee Joo Hai has been charged in Singapore under certain Singaporean securities regulation in respect to potential lapses in relevant disclosures related to a Singaporean listed company, Hyflux Limited in respect of which Mr. Lee was a director.

The PGW Board notes that these matters are completely unrelated to PGW and the business and operations of PGW.

The PGW Board has considered matters and understands that Mr. Lee is defending these charges. The PGW Board has agreed with Mr. Lee that it is currently considered that the charges and related investigations do not compromise the performance of Mr. Lee’s duties in relation to PGW.
