Singtel junks reports of Optus listing

The company said it currently has no plans to list its Australian subsidiary.

Singtel junked reports stating that it will list its Australian subsidiary, Optus.

In a statement, Singtel said it currently has no plans to list Optus and that earlier reports were "highly speculative.

"Since becoming part of the Singtel stable, Optus has grown to be a leading telco in Australia and is now a significant part of the Singtel Group," the company said.

"If, and when, there is any information that warrants disclosure, Singtel will, in compliance with applicable rules, make an announcement as appropriate," it added.

Earlier, Singtel announced that Optus will directly oversee its own enterprise division starting 1 July.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
