SGX extends exclusive talks for proposed Baltic Exchange takeover

Both parties have made “good progress” in the discussions.

Singapore Exchange and the Baltic Exchange have jointly agreed to extend the period of exclusive discussions regarding the SGX’s proposed takeover.

The period of exclusive talks has been extended from 30 June 2016 to 31 August 2016.

In a statement, the parties said that they have together met with shareholders and much of the stakeholder community over the past weeks to discuss the transaction and have made “good progress” in consultations.

The extension to the period of exclusivity allows this dialogue to continue before the final terms of the transaction are agreed.

Despite the extension, the SGX reiterated that there is no assurance that the exclusivity agreement signed on 25 May 2016 will lead to any definitive agreement or completion of the takeover.

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.
