Participate in the termination of the Trust by receiving a share of all net cash proceeds derived from the realisation
of the assets of the Trust less any liabilities, in accordance with their proportionate interests in the Trust. However, a
unitholder does not have the right to require that any assets (or part thereof) of the Trust be transferred to him.
The restrictions of a unitholder include the following:
·
A unitholder’s right is limited to the right to require due administration of the Trust in accordance with the provisions
of the Trust Deed; and
·
A unitholder has no right to request the Trust to redeem his units while the units are listed on SGX-ST.
The Trust Deed contains provisions that are designed to limit the liability of a unitholder to the amount paid or payable for
any units in the Trust. The provisions seek to ensure that if the issue price of the units held by a unitholder has been fully
paid, no such unitholder, by reason alone of being a unitholder, will be personally liable to indemnify the Trustee or any
creditor of the Trustee in the event that liabilities of the Trust exceed its assets.
