Great Eastern exploring options for free float requirements compliance

SGX gave the insurer until 25 May.

Great Eastern is exploring options to comply with free float requirements under the Singapore Exchange’s (SGX) listing rules, the insurer said in a bourse filing.

The company has also been assessing the courses of action available for compliance since its suspension and intends to appoint a financial adviser to explore its options.

The insurer applied to SGX for a further extension as information from its annual report on the 2024 financial year – expected to be made available towards the end of March 2025 – will be important for this process.

The company is preparing its financial statements for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2024 which will be published in the report.

SGX had no objection to granting the extension and gave the insurer until 25 May.

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.
