    SGX LISTING

    Main Board

    The Main Board is the premier market for the listing and trading of shares on the SGX. It features established companies which meet its quantitative entry criteria (see Appendix). The Main Board is under the direct regulation and supervision of SGX.

    Catalist

    On the other hand, the Catalist serves as a complementary fundraising and trading platform with more flexible regulations for smaller fast growing companies. While the Catalist is regulated by SGX as well, it is supervised by Sponsors approved by SGX. However, SGX retains the power to discipline Catalist companies when there is a breach of the regulations.

    LISTING ON SGX

  • 5

    1) DUAL LISTING

    3) DELISTING

    Issuers may list on the SGX either by way of (a) a primary listing (On Main Board or Catalist); or (b) a secondary listing (On Main Board only).

    Primary listing: Euronext/Alternext/Marche Libre and SGX will be considered as the issuers home exchange. Both the laws and listing regulations of France and Singapore will have to be complied with in full.

    Secondary listing: Euronext remains the issuers home exchange and the issuer will only be required to comply with a limited set of listing regulations under SGX. For example, unlike a primary listing, controlling shareholders, executive directors of the issuer and their associates will not be subject to a moratorium on dealings with their shares in the issuer.

    Upon admission to the Official list of the SGX, the issuer will have a dual listing on both Euronext/Alternext/Marche Libre (as the case may be) and SGX and consequently, its securities may be traded on both markets. The issuer may thereafter raise funds in both markets.

    In the event of a carve-out, an issuer will transfer a group of assets (i.e. the assets and liabilities of a particular branch of activity) to a subsidiary and in exchange, receive securities issued by the transferee company.

    The subsidiary will apply to list its securities on one of the SGXs boards as a primary listing by way of an IPO which can be done by an issue of new shares or an offer of existing shares to the public.

    The issuer will remain listed on Euronext/Alternext/Marche Libre and subject to French law and regulations; its subsidiary will be listed on one of the SGXs boards and subject to Singapore law and regulations.

    The issuer will delist from Euronext/ Alternext/Marche Libre in accordance to French law and regulations.

    Thereafter, the issuer will apply to list its securities on one of the SGXs boards as a primary listing by way of an IPO which can be done by an issue of new shares or an offer of existing shares to the public.

    Once the issuer is delisted from Euronext/Alternext/Marche Libre and upon satisfaction of the listing requirements (see Appendix), it will apply to list its securities on one of SGXs boards by launching an IPO.

    SGX has the absolute discretion concerning the admission (and removal) of an issuer and may approve the applications for listing unconditionally or subject to conditions, and has the right to vary any such conditions or impose additional conditions or criteria.

    Besides boosting the public profile in Asia, dual listing on SGX will provide ready access to capital from the region. The enlarged size and diversity of shareholder base may also boost liquidity and valuation, particularly when the business of the issuer is more favored in the region.
