EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

 

Grindrod Shipping Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”), a public company incorporated in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore, is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-259019) (the “Registration Statement”), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to terminate all offerings and deregister any and all securities, registered but unsold or otherwise unissued as of the date hereof under the Registration Statement, filed with the SEC on August 23, 2021, registering the offer and sale, from time to time, by (i) the Company of up to 3,862,004 ordinary shares, no par value (“Ordinary Shares”), of the Company, and/or (ii) the selling shareholders identified in any prospectus supplement, of up to 8,094,282 Ordinary Shares of the Company.

 

For ease of reference, all share numbers above are as stated in the original Registration Statement, without giving pro forma effect to any adjustments, as applicable, for any subsequent events such as stock splits occurring after the original filing date of the Registration Statement.

 

On June 20, 2024, at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Company’s shareholders approved a selective capital reduction (“SCR”), pursuant to Section 78G of the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore, which is expected to become effective in the third quarter of calendar year 2024 and in which the Company would cancel all the Ordinary Shares other than the Ordinary Shares held by the Company’s majority shareholder, Good Falkirk (MI) Limited (“GF”), a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Taylor Maritime Investments Limited, resulting in GF owning 100% of the Ordinary Shares of the Company.

 

In connection with the SCR, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with the undertaking made by the Company in Part II, Item 10(a)(3) of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof, and terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. After giving effect to this Amendment, there will be no remaining securities registered by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement.
