SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) is also popularly referred to as a blank cheque company, that allows the listed company without any existing businesses to raise capital through an IPO (initial public offering), and thereafter use the capital to invest into companies.

 

SPAC Listing on Singapore Exchange Mainboard

Singapore | Leading financial centre in Asia

The SGX listing under the SPAC framework must have the following key features:

  • Minimum market capitalisation of S$150 million
  • De-SPAC must take place within 24 months of IPO with an extension of up to 12 months subject to fulfilment of prescribed conditions
  • Moratorium on Sponsors’ shares from IPO to de-SPAC, a 6-month moratorium after de-SPAC and for applicable resulting issuers, a further 6-month moratorium thereafter on 50% of shareholdings.
  • Sponsors must subscribe to at least 2.5% to 3.5% of the IPO shares/units/warrants depending on the market capitalisation of the SPAC
  • De-SPAC can proceed if more than 50% of independent directors approve the transaction and more than 50% of shareholders vote in support of the transaction
  • Warrants issued to shareholders will be detachable and maximum percentage dilution to shareholders arising from the conversion of warrants issued at IPO is capped at 50%
  • All independent shareholders are entitled to redemption rights
  • Sponsor’s promote limit of up to 20% of issued shares at IPO

 

CEO SGX RegCo, Tan Boon Gin
Tan Boon Gin, CEO of Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo):

“SGX’s SPAC framework will give companies an alternative capital fund raising route with greater certainty on price and execution.

We want the SPAC process to result in good target companies listed on SGX, providing investors with more choice and opportunities. To achieve this, you can expect us to focus on the sponsors’ quality and track record. We have also introduced requirements that increase sponsors’ skin in the game and their alignment with shareholders’ interest.”
