Arrangements
On 17 March 2020, the government of Malaysia announced a
countrywide movement control order including social distancing
measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. These measures
include requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited
purposes; and stopping all gatherings of more than two people in
public.
We fully support these measures to protect public health and
safety.
As such, we will now hold the AGM via a special arrangement.
Voting by proxy and not in person
The Adjourned 2019 Annual General Meeting ("Adjourned 2019 AGM")
will be conducted with minimum quorum of shareholders present in
order to conduct the normal business of the meeting. The results of
the proxy votes on the proposed resolutions will be announced, in
the normal way, as soon as practicable after the conclusion of
Adjourned AGM.
To safeguard the health and safety of Shareholders during the
global COVID-19 pandemic, PureCircle encourages Shareholders to
exercise their right to vote at the Adjourned 2019 AGM by
appointing the Chairman as their proxy instead of attending the
Adjourned 2019 AGM in person.
The dial-in and login details in order to attend the Adjourned
2019 AGM via electronic means are being sent directly to registered
shareholders along with the Adjourned 2019 AGM materials.
Shareholders are reminded that participation via electronic
means does not constitute formal attendance at the Adjourned 2019
AGM nor would Shareholders be able to vote electronically.
Shareholders would need to submit their form of proxy ahead of
the Adjourned 2019 AGM in accordance with the instructions printed
thereon if they wish to cast their votes.
The situation in relation to COVID-19 continues to develop and
we are closely monitoring developments, including any regulatory

be made and information will be made available on our website at:

-- PureCircle is the only company that combines advanced R&D
with full vertical integration from farm to high-quality,
great-tasting innovative stevia sweeteners.
-- The Company collaborates with farmers who grow the stevia
plants and with food and beverage companies which seek to improve
their low- and no-calorie formulations using a sweetener from
plants.
-- PureCircle will continue to: lead in research, development
and innovation; produce a growing supply of multiple varieties of
stevia sweeteners with sugar-like taste, using all necessary and
appropriate methods of production; and be a resource and innovation
partner for food and beverage companies.
-- PureCircle stevia flavor modifiers work in synergy with
sweeteners to improve the taste, mouthfeel and calorie profile, and
enhance the cost effectiveness, of beverage and food products.
-- Founded in 2002, PureCircle is continually investing in
breakthrough research and development and it has been granted over

About stevia
-- Given the growing global concerns about obesity and diabetes,
beverage and food companies are working responsibly to reduce sugar
and calories in their products, responding to both consumers and
health and wellness advocates. Sweeteners from the stevia plant
offer sugar-like taste and are becoming an increasingly important
tool for these companies.
-- Like sugar, stevia sweeteners are from plants. But unlike
sugar, they enable low-calorie and zero-calorie formulations of
beverages and foods.
-- Stevia leaf extract is a natural-based, zero calorie,
high-intensity sweetener, used by global food and beverage
companies as a great-tasting zero-calorie alternative to sugar and
artificial sweeteners.
-- Stevia is a naturally sweet plant native to South America;
today, it is grown around the world, notably in Kenya, China and
the US.
-- The sweet-tasting parts of the stevia leaf are up to 350
times sweeter than sugar: stevia's high-intensity sweetness means
it requires far less water and land than sugar.
-- Research has shown that the molecules of the stevia leaf are
present and unchanged in the dried stevia leaf, through the
commercial extraction and purification process, and in the final
stevia leaf extract product. All major global regulatory
organisations, across 65 countries, have approved the use of
high-purity stevia leaf extracts in food and beverages.
