SGX drops private notification plan for significant deals
But privy lists that companies need to maintain widened to include all material transactions
Singapore
LISTED firms and their controlling shareholders will no longer need to privately tell the Singapore Exchange (SGX) about a significant transaction before the deal is made public, after a fresh bourse rule change that some market watchers saw as essentially euthanising a toothless tiger.
Backing down on an earlier proposal to codify the practice of private notifications to the bourse, the SGX said in a press release on Tuesday evening that feedback via a public consultation "showed an overall lack of consensus on the right timing for such private notifications by companies and/or controlling shareholders".
