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.

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.
