SGX Issues Consultation Paper on Special Purpose Acquisition Companies

01 Apr 2021 LegisWatch

In recent times, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) have become the topic of discussion in global capital markets as a way for companies to access public funds in a volatile market. On 31 March 2021, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) released a consultation paper to seek feedback from the public on the SGX’s proposal to introduce a primary listing framework for SPACs in Singapore to list on the Main Board of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The consultation paper may be obtained from the SGX’s website: https://tinyurl.com/5r9kmsmd.
