Mr Lai was a non-executive director of Universal EC Investments Pte. Ltd. (“UECI”) from September 2014 to August 2021 and its wholly owned subsidiary, Greatearth Pte. Ltd. (“GEPL”), from January 2015 to August 2021. He was not part of the management of UECI or GEPL. UECI and GEPL were placed in a creditors’ voluntary winding up and a liquidator was appointed on 30 August 2021 for the companies. UECI has been dissolved in a creditors’ voluntary winding up on 5 June 2024. UECI was an investment holding company incorporated for the purpose of investing in the shares of GEPL, which was a group holding company. Two of GEPL’s subsidiaries were construction companies and their business was badly affected by the covid-19 pandemic and, as a result, UECI and GEPL were unable to continue as going concerns. UECI and GEPL were not insolvent before the covid-19 pandemic. These companies took steps to try to avoid insolvency during the covid-19 pandemic such as disposing assets, cost control and rescheduling their debts. To Mr Lai’s knowledge, there have been no subsequent investigations conducted by regulatory authorities on whether there was any wrongdoing by these companies. ANNUAL REPORT 2025 195
