SHARES of mainboard-listed Oceanus Group saw brisk trading on Tuesday, making it the third-most active counter by volume on the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

The counter hit an intraday high of 4.4 Singapore cents. As at the midday break, it was 5 per cent or 0.2 cent higher at 4.2 cents, with 87.7 million shares changing hands. The counter was the fourth-most traded at the time.

The active trading came after the seafood supplier submitted an exchange filing requesting to exit the SGX watch-list.

Oceanus, which has been on the SGX watch-list since 2015, has been granted four extensions to date to exit the watch-list. It was granted a fourth extension lasting 19 months until March 1 this year, with effect from the expiry of the third extension on July 31, 2019.

An issuer on the watch-list may apply to be removed from it if it records consolidated pre-tax profit for the most recently completed financial year (based on audited full-year consolidated accounts), and has an average daily market cap of S$40 million or more over the last six months.
