SECURITIES Investors Association of Singapore (SIAS) founder and CEO David Gerald on Wednesday said SIAS is "seriously concerned that there is no finality yet on Utico's offer" for Hyflux.

In a letter to the media, he highlighted that while Hyflux and the various creditor groups have been working within the timelines set by the Singapore High Court to finalise a deal, "changes have been repeatedly introduced at the eleventh hour by the investor".
