More importantly, as promoters of ADP, the Project Sponsors will share and help to adapt Singapore's experience in industry development to enable the successful establishment of an Andhra Pradesh Investment Promotion ‘Agency (APIPA) or Capital Region Investment Promotion Agency (CRIPA). This is to support GoAP's efforts to replicate this capability across the state and make it the preferred destination in India for local and global investments. To achieve this, ADP will structure this cooperation in three stages for an initial period of five years — (i) work with APIPA or CRIPA to build capacities and capabilities of the agency; (ii) co-drive initial investment promotion efforts as on-the-job sharing and adaptation; (i) assist in on-going marketing activities, i. Investment promotion Activities will involve creation of policies, business environment and conditions to persuade companies to invest in locations, which they will normally not consider. The process involves jointly (i) identify targeted industries and corresponding activities; and (ii) develop strategies and value propositions to engage companies. ‘SWISS CHALLENGE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY ASCENDASSINGBRIDGE PTE LTD.

Through ADP, work closely with APIPA or CRIPA to jointly set economic objectives, select 2~3 industries, and develop industry blueprint and necessary policies. This process requires careful analysis to select industries based on the unique value propositions that Andhra Pradesh can offer such as its geography, its workforce and availabilty of resources and other factors. b. The policies will include business facilitation services that enable new-entry and existing companies to secure government approvals, clearances and resources with ease, creating a pro-business environment. c.

Given the current state of development in the Capital Region, aggressive marketing efforts through various marketing channels, roadshows, utilizing digital platforms, etc., would be necessary to make the development attractive for developers/investors. As presented earlier in this proposal, the developmental activities will be undertaken over three phases, The phase-wise allotment of development plots and pricing mechanism would be based on the guiding objectives provided in the table below. Table: Objective in each Phase Phases Objectives 12 Protect cost of land, recover cost of development of plots and attract, ‘Queen Bees’ and high quality tenant/developers who will ‘encourage job creation, and be the eco-system drivers 3 Revenue maximization for APCRDA, Return on Equity/invest ment for ADP, High quality tenants/developers ‘SWISS CHALLENGE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY ASCENDAS-SINGERIDGE PE LTD, AND SEMBCORP DEVELOPMENT LTO The Board of Directors of ADP will be allowed to determine the price of sale of developed land (except in the case of Phase 1 reserve price). In doing so, the Board may consider different mechanisms including the indicative ones presented below. The reserve price of allotment of development plots in Phase 1 will be provided by ADP prior to the signing of the CADA. The process of allotment of development plots and pricing mechanism are presented in the following sections. 8.9.1 Allotment of development plots i. Focus on bringing in high quality developerssinvestors/end-users The development of plots would require significant investments and hence early and faster allotment of development plots is in the interest of both APCRDA and ADP. Therefore, the focus while allotting development plots would be on bringing in quality end-users/developers who will hasten the development of the Start-Up Area and therefore, the Seed Development Area. In line with its mandate to create sustainable development, ADP will consider various criteria to bring on board high quality developers. Some of the selection criteria could include: a. Past experience in developing similar projects; b, Financial stability and capability; . Deployment of new and advanced technologies; d, Track record for generating employment: e. Ability to bring in targeted industries and customers; and f. Corporate social responsibility mandate, engagement with local community, etc. Transparency in the plot allotment process ‘As ADP will be solely responsible for allotment of the development plots, itis important that a mechanism is developed to bring in transparency in the allotment process. To do so, the following measures are proposed a, Dissemination of Information and Requirements ADP will develop and maintain a dedicated web portal throughout the project period to provide accurate and timely information on availability of development plots and development guidelines/requirements applicable to the available plots. The same ‘would help prospective developers/investors gather information regarding the available plots. ADP will publish and distribute other such marketing collaterals from time to time to provide related information. b. Expressions of interest and other documents ADP, from time-to-time, and depending on the development process, will publish documents for inviting applications from developers/investors for allotment of plots. \ SR KSES> Heng") 6 a aes) (a )s Ww ‘SWISS CHALLENGE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY ASCENOAS-SINGBRIDGE PTE LTO.

Pricing of plots is a very critical element of the entire development process. A balanced pricing framework Is needed to recover the development costs and to compensate ADP for its investment in terms of financial as well 2s management inputs through making appropriate returns on its investments. i. Principles of pricing and establishing Reserve Price ‘The Reserve Price for Phase 1 shall be jointly and mutually agreed by ADP and GoAP prior to signing the CADA. The signing of the CADA shall be contingent upon GoAP agreeing to the Reserve price. The Reserve Price computation would consider the following components, a. Cost of land The cost of the land would comprise of the base cost of land including, any administrative and financing cost related to the acquisition of the land incurred by APCRDA to be taken into account, b. Cost of land development ADP will be responsible for development of land. The cost attributed towards such development will include construction costs, financing costs, administrative costs and marketing and selling costs (advertisement and promotion, marketing collaterals, brokerage etc.), but not including operation and maintenance costs. Further, cost escalation will be taken into consideration for arriving at the cost of land development. c. Profit margin For the investment made in the project, ADP would look at a profit margin over and above the costs incurred to achieve appropriate returns. This is essential for protecting the interest of the shareholders of ADP. Other factors such as prevailing market prices in competing cities may also be considered. Based on the above factors, ADP would establish the reserve price for the development plots. li, Establishment of Land Allotment and Pricing Committee Land allotment and pricing committee comprising of equal number of representatives from GoAP and JVC would be established for dealing with aspects relating to allotment ‘SWISS CHALLENGE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY ASCENOAS SiNGBRIDGE PTE LTD, ANO SEMBCORP DEVELOPMENT TO and pricing of development plots below the reserve price. The roles and responsibilities of the committee will be mutually agreed between GoAP and JVC. ii, Pricing mechanism a. Allotment of land above the reserve price * As indicated earlier, the Reserve price for Phase 1 will be determined by ADP. Similarly, Reserve price for Phase 2 and 3 will be established by the mechanism proposed by ADP. ‘* Allotment of land may be by auction andior private discussions with potential buyers. = Incase of allotment of land through private discussions, the board of ADP will take the final decision. b. Allotment of land below the reserve price ADP may, whenever required, allot development plots at a price below the Reserve Price for the following reasons: © To attract and bring in a strategic developer! anchor tenant who would provide visibility to the project and could attract other developers; * Incase there is slump in demand for such development plots due to economic downtum, or emergence of other competitive locations etc.; * Incase GoAP requires to provide development plots to some strategic end user industries; and + Any other situations that may arse. In all the above cases, where discount to the reserve price needs to be provided or the development plots are required to be sold at a price lower than the reserve price, the pricing decision shall be taken by the Land Allotment and Pricing Committee. Furthermore, if the GoAP decides to allot land at a cost lower than reserve price, the GoAP will have to make good the difference between Reserve Price and allotment price to ADP. 8.10 Commercial terms 8.10.1 Revenue share The revenue share will be a percentage of the gross revenue from sale of plots to a developer/end-user. The revenue share mechanism has been detailed out in the 'SMISS CHALLENGE PROPOSAL SUBIVITTED BY ASCENOAS-SINGBRIDGE PTE LTD. AND SEMBCORP DEVELOPMENT LT CADA. The proposed Revenue Share is presented in the sealed envelope submitted along with the SCP and shall be considered as proprietary information. The same is in accordance with AP-IDEA, and shall not be disclosed to the public, or in the tender documents inviting competing proposals. The key terms and conditions are as follows: i. Revenue to be shared shall be percentage of gross sale revenue and shall be payable at the point of registration of the conveyance deed; ji, Any remaining profit may be used to fund project activities/distribution to shareholders of ADP in accordance with the terms of the articles of association of ADP and the Shareholders’ Agreement. :NOAS SINGBRIDGEPTELTD.
