PROPOSED DUAL LISTING OF THE COMPANY ON THE AIM MARKET OF THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE
The Board of Directors (the“Board”) of Winking Studios Limited (the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the“Group”) wishes to announce that the Company proposes to seek a dual listing of the Company on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”)(“AIM”) (the“Proposed AIM Listing”). The Company may also seek to raise additional capital from investors at the time of the Proposed AIM Listing.
The Board believes that the Proposed AIM Listing will provide an additional quoted platform for the securities of the Company to be traded via an established stock exchange in Europe. The Proposed AIM Listing will also enable the Company to gain access to a diversified base of shareholders and investors comprising new institutional and private investors in the United Kingdom (the ”UK”) and Europe, which in turn may allow the Company greater flexibility to access the capital markets in these regions to conduct fund raising and other strategic investment exercises (such as potential merger and acquisition opportunities should they arise from time to time). With a wider and more diversified shareholder base, the Company also hopes to improve the trading liquidity of its securities on its trading platforms.
The Board further believes that the Proposed AIM Listing presents an excellent opportunity to increase the market visibility and profile of the Group globally and to enhance the Companys corporate branding and reputation, in particular, with existing and new clients in the regional and global gaming industries in which the Group operates.
The Company has appointed Strand Hanson Limited as the Company’sFinancial Adviser and Nominated Adviser (“NOMAD”) in the UK in relation to the Proposed AIM Listing. The Company has also appointed and/or is in the process of appointing other professional advisers,including legal counsel, for the purpose of advising on the Proposed AIM Listing. As at the date of this announcement, preparatory work for the Proposed AIM Listing is on-going and no application has been made to any regulatory authorities, including the LSE for the admission of the Shares to trading on AIM, or to the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”) in connection with the Proposed AIM Listing.
The Board wishes to highlight to the shareholders of the Company (the”Shareholders”) that the Proposed AIM Listing is at a preliminary stage, and it is subject to, inter alia, satisfactory completion of due diligence by certain appointed professional advisers, approval from regulatory authorities including the LSE and such other approvals by the Shareholders and the SGX-ST, where required, and is also dependent on then prevailing market conditions. It should be noted that there is no assurance that approval and/or clearance by the LSE, NOMAD and/or any other relevant regulatory authorities for the Proposed AIM Listing will be granted. There is no assurance that approval will be provided by the Shareholders in respect to the Proposed AIM Listing and/or any ancillary transactions.
In light of the foregoing, Shareholders should note that there is no certainty or assurance that any application in connection with the Proposed AIM Listing and ancillary transactions will be made to the LSE and/or the SGX-ST or if made, that the Proposed AIM Listing will eventually materialise or otherwise be proceeded with, or that any additional funding will be raised by the Company at the time of the Proposed AIM Listing, if any.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company. In the event of any doubt, Shareholders and potential investors should consult and rely on the advice of their respective legal, financial, tax or other professional advisers as to the actions they should take.
The Company shall continue to keep Shareholders updated and release announcements relating to the Proposed AIM Listing (including any material developments and progress made) as may be appropriate from time to time.

規劃於倫敦證券交易所另類投資市場進行第二或雙重主要上市
Winking Studios Limited（以下簡稱「本公司」，與其子公司合稱「本集團」）董事會（以下簡稱「董事會」）謹此宣布本公司規劃於倫敦證券交易所（以下簡稱「倫交所」）另類投資市場進行第二或雙重上市（以下簡稱「另類投資市場上市」）。
董事會相信另類投資市場上市之舉將會為本公司證券於歐洲既有證券市場交易提供額外的上市平台。此將使本公司得以擴大投者基礎，藉以讓英國及歐洲新進機構投資者及私人投資者得以參與本集團之發展。透過接觸亞太地區、英國及歐洲之投資者們，本公司得以靈活地進入該區域資本市場募集資金，以支持本集團併購佈局及業務拓展的策略。透過股東基礎更加廣泛及多元，本公司希望藉此增進證券的交易流動性。董事會進一步相信另類投資市場上市之舉將可提升本集團於全球之知名度與形象，特別是針對本集團於遊戲產業之既有客戶與新進客戶，從而優化本公司的之品牌和聲譽。
本公司已委任英國Strand Hanson Ltd. 為另類投資市場上市之指定顧問（以下簡稱「NOMAD」）。本公司另委任其他專業顧問，包括新加坡及英國法律顧問，以提供本公司於另類投資市場上市相關建議。截至本公告日期，相關準備工作正在進行，且本公司尚未向倫交所或新加坡證券交易所（以下簡稱「新交所」）提出另類投資市 場上市之申請。
董事會謹此提醒，截至本公告發佈時，尚無法確定或保證本公司是否會向倫交所和新交所提出另類投資市場上市之申請，縱未來提出申請，亦無法確定或保證最終能完成另類投資市場上市。此外，另類投資市場上市仍處於初步階段，尚須經合規之盡職調查、NOMAD 及其他專業顧問對上市適宜性之評估、倫交所之許可，以及（如適用或要求）其他法律或監管許可，包括本公司股東及新交所的許可。由於本公司也考量於另類投資市場上市時公開發行新證券，因此另類投資市場上市能否成功仍將進一步取決於當時之市場狀況。
本公司股東及潛在投資者於買賣本公司股份時務請審慎行事。如有任何疑問，股東及潛在投資者應諮詢其法律、財務、稅務或其他專業顧問。本公司將繼續向股東告報最新情況，並適時發布有關另類投資市場上市（包括任何重大發展和進度）的公告。
