Provisional Waiver – Rule 806(2) Limit for Pro Rata Renounceable Rights Issue Raised from 50% to 100% until 31 December 2018

24 Mar 2017 SGX Listing Manual Update

Singapore Exchange (SGX) recently issued a news release detailing the grant of a provisional waiver in relation to the limit on the aggregate number of shares and convertible securities that an issuer listed on the Mainboard may issue on a pro rata basis pursuant to a general mandate under Rule 806(2) of the SGX Listing Manual. This move is reminiscent of a similar waiver granted by SGX in February 2009 to facilitate fund-raising efforts during the global financial crisis.

This update discusses the provisional waiver.
