Novo Tellus files for blank-check IPO in SGX

The SPAC size is between $200m to $250m.

Singapore buyout firm, Novo Tellus Capital Partners, has applied to list a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) with the Singapore Exchange, reported Bloomberg.

The firm plans to raise around $200m (US$148m) through an initial public offering of the blank-check company. The initial public offering (IPO) could take place as soon as the end of 2021.

Novo Tellus would be one of the first to list a blank-check company on Singapore’s exchange, following Vertex Holdings and European asset manager Tikehau Capital. The potential IPO comes after Singapore started allowing blank-check companies to list in September.

Deliberations are still ongoing and the size and timeline of the Novo Tellus SPAC IPO could still change. Novo Tellus declined to comment.

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.
