As of August 27, 1999, there were approximately 7,664 shareholders in record of the Ordinary Shares, of which approximately 300 were
registered in the US, and approximately 7,364 in Singapore. Because many of the US shares are held by brokers and other institutions
on behalf of shareholders, Creative is unable to estimate the total number of shareholders represented by these US record holders.
On August 27, 1999, the closing price of Creative’s Ordinary Shares on the NASDAQ National Market was $9.81 and on the SES was S$17.10.
