Great Eastern secures extension to complete delisting

It was granted an extension until 30 September 2025.

Great Eastern Holdings has secured approval from the Singapore Exchange (SGX) for more time to complete its delisting and bonus share issue plans.

In an exchange filing on 9 June, the insurer said SGX has granted an extension until 30 September 2025 to finalise the proposed transactions, which include its delisting, the adoption of a new constitution, and a bonus issue of shares.

The company will convene an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to seek shareholder approval. A circular with the indicative timeline will be sent to shareholders on 9 June 2025.

The extension comes after multiple rounds of approvals from SGX since July 2024, following OCBC’s successful takeover offer for all remaining shares in Great Eastern.

Trading in Great Eastern shares has been suspended since 15 July 2024.

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.
