New Olam bonds and warrants hits SGX-ST tomorrow

Trading begins 9:00 AM on January 31.

In a release, Olam International described the trading of odd lots for the new bonds:

For the purposes of trading on the SGX-ST, each board lot of the Bonds will comprise US$1,000 in principal amount of the Bonds. Each board lot of Warrants will consist of 1,000 Warrants or such other number as may be notified by the Company. Shareholders who hold odd lots of the Bonds, the Warrants and/or the New Shares (that is, lots other than board lots of 1,000 Bonds, 1,000 Warrants or 1,000 New Shares) and who wish to trade in odd lots on the SGX-ST should note that they will be able to do so on the SGX-ST Unit Share Market. 

In addition, the Company has applied for and obtained the approval of the SGX-ST for the establishment of temporary counters to facilitate the trading of (a) the Bonds in board lots of US$100 in principal amount of Bonds per board lot and (b) the Warrants in board lots of 100 Warrants per board lot, for a period of one month commencing on the first Market Day on which the Bonds or the Warrants (as the case may be) are listed for quotation on the Main Board of the SGX-ST. The temporary counters are of a provisional nature. 

Investors who continue to hold (a) in the case of the Bonds, odd lots of less than US$1,000 in principal amount of Bonds or (b) in the case of the Warrants, odd lots of less than 1,000 Warrants, after one month from the listing of the Bonds or the Warrants (as the case may be) may face difficulty and/or have to bear disproportionate transactional costs in realising the fair market price of such Bonds or Warrants (as the case may be). 

Approval in-principle has been obtained from the SGX-ST for the dealing in, listing of and quotation of the Bonds, the Warrants and the New Shares on the Main Board of the SGX-ST, subject to certain conditions which have been disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 17 December 2012. 

The SGX-ST's approval in-principle for the listing and quotation of the Bonds, the Warrants and the New Shares is not an indication of the merits of the Rights Issue, the Bonds, the Warrants, the Company, its subsidiaries or the New Shares.
