SGX extends $136.6m offer to acquire Baltic Exchange

It’s offering GBP160.41 per share.

In an attempt to explore new shipping benchmarks and clearing solutions, Singapore’s local bourse have revealed details about its bid to buy the Baltic Exchange.

According to a report by OCBC, Singapore Exchange (SGX) said it intends to keep the Baltic Exchange’s headquarters in London.

The report added that SGX also aims to maintain the existing market benchmark production and governance model, and keep end-user Baltic data fees and fees for SGX clearing of freight derivatives at current levels for at least five years.

“We see this as another avenue for SGX’s to expand its offerings as current market conditions are fairly challenging, especially for its equities trading business,” the report added.

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.
