SIAS clears position on Hyflux restructuring deal

The association clarifies that it is not backing the deal “at this stage”.

The Securities Investors Association (Singapore) (SIAS) has clarified that it does not back Hyflux’s restructuring agreement as the company has yet to reach a finalised deal, it said in a media statement.

This comes after SIAS previously announced that it is supporting the embattled water firm's decision in applying for a two-month debt moratorium extension. Hyflux made the request to Court to give them more time to facilitate negotiations with its UAE-based potential white knight Utico. The said extension will also help Hyflux pursue other investors in the event that no agreement can be made.

The proposed rescue deal between the two firms state that Utico will hold 88% stake inof Hyflux.

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.
