QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

RELATING TO THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why did I receive these materials?

Our Shareholders as of the close of business on October 28, 2022, which we refer to as the "Record Date," are entitled to vote at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which will be held on December 6, 2022. As a Shareholder, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement. This proxy statement provides notice of the Meeting, describes the proposals presented for Shareholder action, and includes other information about the Corporation. The accompanying proxy card enables Shareholders to vote on the matters without having to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

The cost of soliciting these proxies, consisting of the printing, handling, and mailing of the proxy and related material, and the actual expense incurred by brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of common stock, will be paid by the Corporation.

In order to assure that there is a quorum, it may be necessary for certain officers, directors, regular employees, and other representatives of the Corporation to solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, or in person. These persons will receive no extra compensation for their services.

Who is entitled to vote at the Meeting?

Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to participate in the Annual Meeting. If you were a Shareholder of record on the Record Date, you would be entitled to vote all of the shares that you held on that date at the Meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the Meeting.

How many votes do I have?

You will be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of our common stock you own as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date, there were 15,020,000 shares of our common stock outstanding and eligible to vote.

How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Meeting?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of common stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Based on the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the Record Date, the holders of our common stock representing at least 5,006,667 votes will be required to establish a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions, votes withheld, and broker "non-votes" will be included in the calculation of the number of votes considered present at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are counted as present or represented for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal but does not vote on another proposal because, in respect of such other proposal, the broker does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

How can I vote my shares in person at the Meeting?

Shares held in your name as the Shareholder of record may be voted by you in person at the Meeting. Shares held by you beneficially in "street name" through a broker, bank, or other nominee may be voted by you in person at the Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Meeting?

Whether you hold shares directly as the Shareholder of record or beneficially in "street name," you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Meeting. If you are a Shareholder of record (that is if your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent), you must complete and properly sign and date the accompanying proxy card and return it to us and it will be voted as you direct. If you are a Shareholder of record and attend the Meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. If you hold shares beneficially in "street name," you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee.

Can I vote by telephone or electronically?

If you are a Shareholder of record, you may vote by telephone or electronically through the Internet, by following the instructions included with your proxy card. If your shares are held in "street name," please check your proxy card or contact your broker, bank, or other nominee to determine whether you will be able to vote by telephone or electronically and the deadline for such voting.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

Yes. If you are a Shareholder of record, you may revoke or change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by delivering a notice of revocation to our Secretary at 3 Woodlands, Sector 1, Singapore 738361, or by signing a proxy card bearing a later date, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

For shares you hold beneficially in "street name," you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Meeting and voting in person. In either case, the powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the Meeting in person and so request, although attendance at the Meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

Who counts the votes?

Votes will be counted and certified by V Stock Transfer, LLC ("V Stock"), our transfer agent; however, no representatives of V Stock will attend the Meeting and Henry F. Schlueter, our United States securities counsel, will serve as the Judge of Election. As the Judge of Election, Mr. Schlueter will certify the final vote count at the Meeting. If you are a Shareholder of record, your signed proxy card is returned directly to VStock for tabulation. If you hold your shares in "street name" through a broker, bank, or other nominee, your broker, bank, or other nominee will return one proxy card to VStock on behalf of its clients.

What are the Board of Directors' recommendations?

Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the person named as proxy holder on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors' recommendation is set forth together with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board of Directors recommends FOR the election of the directors named and FOR the approval and adoption of the Company's Equity Incentive Plan.

The Corporation's Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, through her direct ownership of 100.00% of JE Cleantech Global Limited, beneficially owns an aggregate of approximately 64% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Ms. Hong has advised the Corporation that she intends to vote her 9,600,000 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 63.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of October 28, 2022, in favor of each of the proposals above. Accordingly, both of the proposals will be approved.

Will Shareholders be asked to vote on any other matters?

To the knowledge of the Corporation and its management, Shareholders will vote only on the matters described in this proxy statement. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the persons named as proxies for Shareholders will vote on those matters in the manner, they consider appropriate.

What vote is required to approve each item?

Election of Directors

The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting is required for the election of directors (Proposal 1). A properly executed proxy marked "withhold authority" with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

Approval and adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan and other item.

For the proposal to approve and adopt the JE Cleantech Holdings Limited 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal 2), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the item will be required for approval.

A properly executed proxy marked "abstain" with respect to any matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.

How are votes counted?

In the election of directors, you may vote "FOR" all or some of the nominees or your vote may "WITHHOLD AUTHORITY FOR" with respect to one or more of the nominees. You may not cumulate your votes for the election of directors.

For the approval and adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan and other items of business, you may vote "FOR," "AGAINST," or "ABSTAIN." If you elect to "ABSTAIN," the abstention has the same effect as a vote "AGAINST." If you provide specific instructions with regard to certain items, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such items.

If you hold your shares in "street name" through a broker, bank, or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, then your broker, bank, or other nominee is considered the Shareholder of record, and you are considered the beneficial owner of your shares. We have supplied copies of our proxy statement to the broker, bank, or other nominee holding your shares of record, and they have the responsibility to send it to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other nominee on how to vote your shares at the Meeting. The broker, bank, or other nominee that is the Shareholder of record for your shares is obligated to provide you with a voting instruction card for you to use for this purpose. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account but you fail to return your voting instruction card to your broker, your shares may constitute "broker non-votes."

Brokerage firms generally have the authority to vote customers' un-voted shares on certain "routine" matters. No matters submitted for Shareholder approval herein are "routine" matters. When a brokerage firm votes its customers' un-voted shares, these shares are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF FIVE (5) PERSONS TO SERVE AS DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATION

The Corporation's directors are elected annually to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and thereafter until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. The number of directors presently authorized by the Articles of Association of the Corporation shall be not less than two (2). There shall be no maximum number of Directors unless otherwise determined from time to time by the Board.

Unless otherwise directed by Shareholders, the proxy holders named in the accompanying proxy will vote all shares represented by proxies held by them for the election of the following nominees, all of whom are now members and constitute the Corporation's Board of Directors. The Corporation is advised that all nominees have indicated their availability and willingness to serve if elected. In the event that any nominee becomes unavailable or unable to serve as a director of the Corporation prior to the voting, the proxy holder will vote for a substitute nominee in the exercise of his best judgment.

The election of the slate of directors proposed is assured, because the management of the Corporation's controlling shareholder has advised that the shares it holds will be voted for the election of the directors nominated herein.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Overview

The Corporation is asking its shareholders to consider and approve the JE Cleantech Holdings Limited 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). The Equity Incentive Plan has been approved by the Board of Directors. If our Shareholders approve the Equity Incentive Plan, it will become effective immediately. If our Shareholders do not approve the Equity Incentive Plan, it will not take effect.

Reasons to Approve the Equity Incentive Plan

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is, among other things, to encourage and enable officers, employees, non-employee directors, advisors, and consultants of the Corporation, upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Corporation depends for the successful conduct of its business, to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation. We believe that equity compensation should be a vital element of our compensation program and designed to align the interests of our Board of Directors and executives with those of our Shareholders by awarding compensation in the form of equity, which may be restricted stock awards, performance based restricted stock, options or stock appreciation rights. We further believe that the ability to grant stock awards at competitive levels is in the best interest of the Corporation and its Shareholders. The Board believes the Equity Incentive Plan is critical in enabling us to grant stock awards as an incentive and retention tool as we continue to compete for talent.

In addition, Shareholder approval of the Equity Incentive Plan would be required under the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market if our Shares were listed on the stock exchange. Thus, we are also seeking Shareholder approval, so we are in compliance with the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq stock exchange in advance of potentially being permitted to list our Ordinary Shares on the exchange when and if regulatory conditions allow.

Resolution to be Approved by Shareholders

At the Annual Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to approve a resolution in the form set forth in Appendix A to this Notice to approve the Equity Incentive Plan. In order to be adopted, the resolution must be passed by at least a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

Approval of the Equity Incentive Plan is assured because the management of the Corporation's controlling shareholder has advised that the shares it holds will be voted to approve the adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan.

Description of the Equity Incentive Plan

Set forth below is a summary of the material features of the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is set forth in its entirety as Exhibit A to Appendix A to this Notice, and all descriptions of the Equity Incentive Plan contained in this Equity Incentive Plan Proposal 2 are qualified by reference to Exhibit A to Appendix A to this Notice.

Purpose

The purpose of the Equity Incentive Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Corporation and to align their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Corporation's Shareholders.

Administration

The Equity Incentive Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee or any committee to whom the Board of Directors has delegated authority to administer the Equity Incentive Plan. All references in the Equity Incentive Plan to the "Plan Administrator" shall be, as applicable, to the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee, or any other committee.

The Plan Administrator shall have full power and exclusive authority to: (i) select the eligible persons to whom Awards may from time to time be granted; (ii) determine the type or types of Award to be granted to each participant; (iii) determine the number of Ordinary Shares to be covered by each Award; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award; (v) approve the forms of notice or agreement for use under the Equity Incentive Plan; (vi) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be settled in cash, Ordinary Shares or other property or canceled or suspended; (vii) interpret and administer the Equity Incentive Plan and any instrument evidencing an Award, notice or agreement executed or entered into under the Equity Incentive Plan; (viii) establish such rules and regulations as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Equity Incentive Plan; and (ix) delegate ministerial duties to such of the Corporation's employees as it so determines.

Types of Awards

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole discretion, to determine the type or types of awards to be granted under the Plan, including awarding compensation in the form of equity. The types of awards the Plan Administrator has the authority to grant include, but are not limited to, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units performance based restricted stock, stock options, or stock appreciation rights (collectively, the "Awards"). Such Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other type of Award. Any Award settlement may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Plan Administrator shall determine. Awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan shall be evidenced by a written, including an electronic, instrument that shall contain such terms, conditions, limitations, and restrictions as the Plan Administrator shall deem advisable and that are not inconsistent with the Equity Incentive Plan.

Eligibility

An Award may be granted to any employee, officer or director of the Corporation or its subsidiaries whom the Plan Administrator from time to time selects. An Award may also be granted to any consultant, agent, advisor, or independent contractor for bona fide services rendered to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries that (a) are not in connection with the offer and sale of the Corporation's securities in a capital-raising transaction and (b) do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Corporation's securities.

Share Reserve

A maximum of 3,004,000 Ordinary Shares shall be available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. Shares issued under the Equity Incentive Plan shall be drawn from authorized and unissued shares. Ordinary Shares covered by an Award shall not be counted as used unless and until they are actually issued and delivered to a participant. If any Award lapses, expires, terminates or is canceled prior to the issuance of shares there under or if Ordinary Shares are issued under the Equity Incentive Plan to a participant and thereafter are forfeited to or otherwise repurchased by the Corporation, the shares subject to such Awards and the forfeited or repurchased shares shall again be available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. Any Ordinary Shares: (i) tendered by a participant or retained by the Corporation as full or partial payment to the Corporation for the purchase price of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award; or (ii) covered by an Award that is settled in cash or in a manner such that some or all of the shares covered by the Award are not issued, shall be available for Awards under the Equity Incentive Plan. The number of Ordinary Shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan shall not be reduced to reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested into additional Ordinary Shares or credited as additional Ordinary Shares subject or paid with respect to an Award.

The Plan Administrator shall also, without limitation, have the authority to grant Awards as an alternative to or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or due under other compensation plans or arrangements of the Corporation.

Adjustments

In the event, at any time or from time to time, a Share dividend, Share split, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, distribution to Shareholders other than a normal cash dividend, or other change in the Corporation's corporate or capital structure results in (a) the outstanding Ordinary Shares, or any securities exchanged therefor or received in their place, being exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Corporation or (b) new, different or additional securities of the Corporation or any other company being received by the holders of Ordinary Shares, then the Plan Administrator shall make proportional adjustments in (i) the maximum number and kind of securities available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan; and (ii) the number and kind of securities that are subject to any outstanding Award and the per share price of such securities, without any change in the aggregate price to be paid therefor. The determination by the Plan Administrator as to the terms of any of the foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Plan Administrator may grant restricted stock awards ("RSA") to participants at any time on such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion. An RSA refers to an award of stock to a participant that typically vests over time and is subject to conditions that must be met before the participant can exercise the right to transfer or sell the stock. Some of the conditions may include continued employment for a defined period, earnings per share goals or other pre-agreed financial performance goals that the Plan Administrator establishes in its sole discretion.

Share Appreciation Rights

The Plan Administrator may grant Share Appreciation Rights ("SAR") to participants at any time on such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion. A SAR may be granted in tandem with an option or alone ("freestanding"). The grant price of a tandem SAR shall be equal to the exercise price of the related option. A SAR may be exercised upon such terms and conditions and for the term as the Plan Administrator determines in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and the instrument evidencing the SAR, the maximum term of a freestanding SAR shall be ten years, and in the case of a tandem SAR, (a) the term shall not exceed the term of the related option and (b) the tandem SAR may be exercised for all or part of the shares subject to the related option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related option, except that the tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the shares for which its related option is then exercisable.

The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may waive any other terms, conditions or restrictions on any SAR under such circumstances and subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate.

Other Grant of Share Awards, Restricted Share and Share Units

The Plan Administrator may also grant share awards, restricted share and share units on such terms and conditions and subject to such repurchase or forfeiture restrictions, if any, which may be based on continuous service with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or the achievement of any performance goals, as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion, which terms, conditions and restrictions shall be set forth in the instrument evidencing the Award.

Amendment and Termination of Plan

The Board may amend, adjust, suspend, or terminate the Equity Incentive Plan or any portion thereof at any time and in such respects as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or Share exchange rule, Shareholder approval shall be required for any amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan. Subject to provisions in the Equity Incentive Plan, the board of directors may amend the terms of any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively.

The Equity Incentive Plan shall have no fixed expiration date. After the Equity Incentive Plan is terminated, no future Awards may be granted, but Awards previously granted shall remain outstanding in accordance with their applicable terms and conditions and the Equity Incentive Plan's terms and conditions.

Nontransferability of Awards

No Award or interest in an Award may be sold, assigned, pledged (as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of an obligation or for any other purpose) or transferred by a participant or made subject to attachment or similar proceedings otherwise than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution, except to the extent the participant designates one or more beneficiaries on a Corporation-approved form who may exercise the Award or receive payment under the Award after the participant's death. During a participant's lifetime, an Award may be exercised only by the participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit a participant to assign or transfer an Award, subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator shall specify.

Change of Control

Unless the Plan Administrator determines otherwise with respect to a particular Award in the instrument evidencing the Award or in a written employment, services or other agreement between the participant and the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, in the event of a "change of control" as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan, if and to the extent an outstanding Award is not converted, assumed, substituted for or replaced by the successor company, then effective immediately prior to the change of control such Award shall become fully vested and exercisable or payable, and all applicable restrictions or forfeiture provisions shall lapse, and then terminate upon the effectiveness of the change of control. If and to the extent the successor company converts, assumes or replaces an outstanding Award, the vesting restrictions and/or forfeiture provisions applicable to such Award shall not be accelerated or lapse, and all such vesting restrictions and/or forfeiture provisions shall continue with respect to any shares of the successor company or other consideration that may be received with respect to such Award.

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the approval and adoption of the JE Cleantech Holding Limited 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.
