Tigerair clinches delisting approval from SGX

It no longer needs to hold a shareholder meeting.

Budget carrier Tiger Airways has received delisting approval from the Singapore Exchange.

The regulator said that it has no objection to the proposed delisting, and added that it will grant the company a waiver of the requirement that the privatisation has to be approved by shareholders in a general meeting.

The waiver was granted because Tigerair's parent company, Singapore Airlines, already holds over 90% of all Tiger shares.

"Accordingly, it is a given conclusion that any delisting resolution will be approved. For that reason, it would be an unnecessary expenditure of time and expense if the Company were required to call a general meeting of its Shareholders to approve the Proposed Delisting," the SGX said.

The delisting will not impact holders of perpetual convertible capital securities (PPCS).

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
