3.   GENERAL

      The board of directors (“Board”) and management of Alaris are pleased with the results of the
      General Meeting.

      The Board believes that the implementation of the Transaction is in line with Alaris’ strategy
      to focus on the development, manufacturing and selling of RF (Radio Frequency) products to global
      niche markets. The Disposal further aligns Alaris’ offerings with its value proposition of
      continuously evolving its intellectual property base to design products for specific customer
      needs. The Board maintains that each subsidiary of Alaris should enjoy fully committed resources
      to realise their full potential. With this in mind and based on the assessment of the available
      market size, the Board believes that the Disposal will free up much needed capacity to enable
      future international growth and acquisitions aligned to the core strategy. Alaris and its
      subsidiaries intend to make further acquisitions in due course. Being a client-centric
      organisation with clients based worldwide, Alaris and its subsidiaries intends to expand its
      global footprint to be closer to its clients. In addition, the Transaction gave rise to an
      opportunity for Alaris to repurchase additional Alaris shares from the Aucom Management who are
      leaving the group as a result of the implementation of the Transaction, at a reasonable valuation.
