Date 28/06/2012

As a market operator, SGX sets high admission standards and listing requirements. As with all other international exchanges, SGX has the right to delist companies that are unable or unwilling to meet these requirements. This is necessary to maintain the quality and standards of listed companies in the market. In administering these rules, SGX aims to protect shareholders’ interests by according these companies a reasonable period of time to be in compliance with listing standards. For example, watch list companies have 2 years to exit the watch list and are required to regularly keep investors updated and informed during this period.
