3. RATIONALE AND JUSTIFICATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE
The Board intends to undertake the Proposed Bonus Issue to reward the existing Shareholders
in the form of Bonus Shares for their loyalty and continuing support as the Proposed Bonus

outlay by them, while maintaining their percentage of equity shareholding held in the Company.
In addition, the Proposed Bonus Issue may:-
(i) potentially result in an improved trading liquidity of UP Shares traded in the market at
an affordable share price without affecting the size of the market capitalisation of the
Company; and
(ii) encourage greater participation by investors as well as potentially broadening the
shareholder base of the Company
