SGX starts consultations for SPAC listing framework

The public consultations will remain open until April 28.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has started consultations on the viability and appropriate conditions for listing Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs)

"In reviewing the viability of SPACs, we note that recent SPACs developments have brought to the fore certain risks, in particular excessive dilution and the rush to de-SPAC. We are therefore proposing measures to address these risks, with the aim of creating credible listing vehicles that will increase investor choice and result in successful, value-creating combinations for their shareholders,” said Tan Boon Gin, CEO of Singapore Exchange Regulation, in a statement.

The SGX is seeking feedback from the market on broad admission creteria; conditions for founding shareholders, management teams and controlling shareholders; and business compbination requirements.

Consultations will be open until April 28, through this link.

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.
