We offer comprehensive advice to listed issuers on continuing listing obligations and regulatory compliance. Our team is well-versed with corporate governance and compliance matters, and some of our Directors serve or have served as independent directors on listed companies.
We provide corporate secretarial and regulatory compliance retainer and ad hoc services to listed companies, and our portfolio of listed clients include SGX Mainboard-listed company, Cosmosteel Holdings Limited and SGX Catalist-listed companies, Quantum Healthcare Limited, Amplefield Limited and Capital World Limited, and HKSE Mainboard-listed company, Courage Investment Group Limited.
We are often called upon to advise on contentious matters such as requisitions from shareholders and advising issuers who are subject to notice(s) of compliance. We recently advised SGX Catalist-listed QT Vascular Ltd (just prior to its entry of a scheme of arrangement with Quantum Healthcare Limited) in relation to certain requisition notices received from a substantial shareholder requesting for a change to the composition of the board of directors of the company and advised SGX Catalist-listed Metech International Limited on its receipt of two requisition notices issued by two different groups of shareholders, intending to, inter alia, remove certain then directors of the company and to appoint new directors to the board of directors of the company.
We are also able to assist issuers with various routine as well as non-routine corporate actions and recent notable transactions we have undertaken in this area:
- Acted for SGX Catalist-listed Quantum Healthcare Limited in seeking approvals from its shareholders on (i) the purported dilution of its indirectly-held USA-incorporated subsidiary following two capital calls purportedly carried out by the said entity, and (ii) any and all further dilution(s) and reduction(s) of its indirectly-held shareholding interest in the said entity that may occur in the future, approved by shareholders on 8 February 2024.
- Acted for SGX Mainboard-listed Powermatic Data Systems Limited in its proposed redevelopment of its existing S$46.3 million freehold investment property with a total gross floor area of 79,073 sqft, into an 8-storey multi-user industrial development for food production, approved by shareholders on 25 January 2024.
Other more routine corporate actions that we advise on include change of auditors, adoption of employee share option schemes and performance share plans, amendment of constitutions, as well as adoption of electronic communications as the mode of communication with shareholders.
