Temasek nabbed pro-rata entitlement to 985.96 million rights shares.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has announced that its rights issue of shares was fully subscribed, an SGX filing revealed.

Valid acceptances and excess applications were received for about 2.13 billion rights shares, representing approximately 119.5% of the 1.78 billion rights shares available. It includes 985.96 million rights shares, or 55.5% of the total rights shares available, which Tembusu had procured via subscription, comprising Temasek’s pro-rata entitlement to the said shares.

Around 67.481 million rights shares were not validly taken up and will be allotted to satisfy excess applications. “In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rights Issue, the company had, in the allocation of excess rights shares to satisfy excess applications, given preference to the rounding of odd lots,” SIA stated.

As for the mandatory convertible bonds (MCBs), valid acceptances and excess applications were received for $2.08b in principal amount, representing 59.6% of the $3.5b in aggregate principal amount of rights MCBs available under the rights issue.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
