Global BioLife Inc. to present Functional Fragrance
Formula at the American Society for Microbiology’s
Biothreats Conference as a New Method to Prevent and
Treat Tuberculosis

SINGAPORE, 29 October 2019 – Singapore Exchange-listed Singapore eDevelopment
Limited (Stock Code 40V) (“SeD”) wishes to announce that its biomedical subsidiary
incorporated in Nevada, Global BioLife Inc. (“Global BioLife”) will be presenting its research
on its Functional Fragrance Formula (“3F”) against tuberculosis at the 2020 American
Society for Microbiology (“ASM”) Biothreats Conference. The 2020 ASM Biothreats
Conference will take place from 28 January 2020 to 30 January 2020 in Arlington, Virginia.
ASM is one of the largest life science societies, with more than 30,000 members, including
researchers, educators, and health professionals. The ASM Board of Directors supplies
strategic direction to the society and focuses on biodefense and emerging diseases.
Tuberculosis (“TB”) is a disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. TB,
which primarily affects the lungs, is transmitted through the open air when an infected person
sneezes, coughs, talks, or laughs. The symptoms of TB include a low-grade fever, night
sweats, weakness or tiredness, and weight loss. TB kills someone approximately every 18
seconds, causing over 1.6 million deaths in 2017 alone. According to the World Health
Organization, about one-quarter of the world's population has latent TB, which means
people have been infected by TB bacteria but are not (yet) ill with the disease and cannot
transmit the disease, making it the top infectious killer in the world.
In 2017, SeD announced a collaboration between Global BioLife and United States based
Chemia Corporation (“Chemia”), a company involved in providing high quality, cost effective
fragrances to the manufacturers of personal care, household and industrial & institutional
products, based in the United States of America, to develop a suite of fragrances labelled
Functional Fragrance Formulation (“3F”) that can go towards fighting the disease rather than
just smell pleasant. “The impact of functional fragrances will transform the modern perfume
industry”, said Mr. Thomas A. Meyer, Chemia’s Vice-President of Innovation and
Sustainability.
Global BioLife’s Director of Scientific Initiatives, Daryl Thompson, has led this research. “3F
is a new paradigm, designed to provide solutions for emerging epidemics and pandemics
globally using cutting edge methods”, says Thompson.

Global BioLife and Chemia Corporation had contracted American Type Culture Collection
(“ATCC”), to conduct the testing in their High Containment Laboratory under Biosafety Level
3 conditions. ATCC was established in 1925 and is a leading developer and supplier of
authenticated cells lines and microorganisms who designs custom services for testing the
world’s most dangerous viruses and bacteria.
Global BioLife also relies on the expertise of former Senior Assistant Surgeon General of
the United States, Dr. Roscoe M. Moore Jr. (“Dr. Moore”), who also served as an Epidemic
Intelligence Service Officer with the United States Center for Disease Control and
Prevention. Dr. Moore, who is also the Chief Epidemiologist with the Center for Devices and
Radiological Health in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said, “I am very excited about
the results 3F has demonstrated. There is a strong need for new and effective measurement
to address the spread of TB globally.” Dr. Moore was recently appointed to the Board of
Advisors for the Institute of Human Virology, School of Medicine, University of Maryland.
“It is an honor to be invited to present our groundbreaking research at the 2020 ASM
Biothreat Conference”, said SeD’s Executive Chairman Mr. Chan Heng Fai.
Shareholders and potential investors of SeD are advised to exercise caution when dealing
or trading in the securities of SeD. Shareholders and potential investors of SeD are advised
to read this Media Release and any further announcements made by SeD carefully.
Shareholders and potential investors of SeD should consult their stockbrokers, bank

they should take.

amount of cash Perennial UW will receive arising from this transaction.
Company’s response: The stated amount was fully received in cash by Perennial UW.

to Yanlord Investment”. Please quantify the shareholders’ loan amount.
Company’s response: The shareholders’ loan amount was S$176 million.
3. It was further disclosed at para 3.1 that Yanlord Investment’s “UEL Shares and WBL
Shares [were valued] at S$2.60 per UEL Share and S$2.5947 per WBL Share
respectively.” Please disclose:

b. The bases of the valuation of UEL Shares and WBL Shares of $2.60 and $2.5947
per UEL Share and WBL Share respectively;

d. Who is the valuer;
e. How do these prices compare to the market prices or market valuations of UEL
and WBL Shares.
Company’s response: No valuer has been appointed for this transaction and no
valuation was conducted. The transaction was for the sale of Perennial UW’s stake in
a joint venture company. The consideration was agreed between the buyer and the
vendor and it took into account the investment in UEL and WBL shares, capitalised
transaction costs, cash and cash equivalents, bank loan, other liabilities and funding
costs. The price of S$2.60 UEL is 1.3% higher than the VWAP of S$2.565 for the
1 month preceding 24 October 2019 (being the date of this transaction) and 2.3% lower
than the last price of S$2.66 before trading was halted. There was no available market
price or market valuation for WBL shares as WBL is not listed.

S$176 million and the proceeds received by Perennial UW was S$202.7 million. As

investment in UEL and WBL shares, capitalised transaction costs, cash and cash
equivalents, bank loan, other liabilities and funding costs.

GSS was formed to use other techniques to modify sugar and also to apply insulino-mimetic technology to all other sweeteners with the goal to modify or create safer solutions for the global sugar supply. The other main focus is to commercialise and build on the value of the current and new sugar technologies the Group is focused in developing.

Laetose is the first run at adapting insulino-mimetic technologies into sucrose. Laetose is 30% reduced sugar, has fewer calories, and testing confirmed that it is low glycemic and inhibits the pro-inflammatory effects caused by sugar.

GSS is now working with globally positioned food companies to leverage the technology and deploy healthy sugars in products worldwide. These partnerships include innovation, marketing, supply chain development, manufacturing, and distribution. This is in line with the Group’s focus to streamline and enforce the commercialisation efforts on the advancement of its sugar technologies.
