To date, over 32,000 MGP products have been employed to protect offshore platform structures and jetties. In India alone, more than 8,000 MGPs have been installed on over 117 structures since 1995.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Contract is expected to have a positive impact on the net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of the Group for the current financial year ending Dec. 31.

Save for their shareholdings in the Company, none of the Directors or controlling shareholders of the Company has any interest, direct or indirect, in the Contract. The Directors are also not aware of any substantial shareholders that have any interest, direct or indirect, in the Contract.
