SGX seeks feedback on changes to Mainboard, Catalist Listing Rules

It’s an attempt to align with the amended Companies Act.

SGX is seeking public feedback on proposed amendments to Mainboard and Catalist Listing Rules including the electronic transmission of notices and documents to shareholders. According to the market regulator’s announcement, the proposals are to align the rules with the amended Companies Act passed in October 2014.

The bourse is consulting the public, firstly, on whether there are concerns if companies are allowed to electronically transmit these materials to shareholders with their implied consent. This means the company’s articles of association provide for electronic communication and shareholders won’t have the option to receive physical copies.

Secondly, SGX is concerned whether companies should be allowed to do so when consent from shareholders is expressly, or deemed to have been, obtained.

SGX also stated that it is soliciting views and comments on on policy positions highlighted by other recent statutory changes. This includes safeguards for notices and documents’ electronic transmission; directors’ insurance coverage and indemnities; voting rights restraint; and subsidiary’s treatment of shares in its holding company.

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.
