  THREE-D AGENCIES PROPRIETARY LIMITED AND SHAMROCK PLASTICS PROPRIETARY LIMITED
                             (COLLECTIVELY “THREE-D”)

Hudaco that distributes electrical cables, sockets and industrial plugs.

The transaction falls below the threshold of a category 2 transaction and accordingly, this
