A debate over the merits of dual-class stks, as  Singapore Exchange  (SGX) is striving to be first Asian mkt to allow such a structure, said it would not consider a listing as " radical" as  Snap.

SGX' s head of capital mkt development Md Nasser Ismail said, proposed Singapore system calls for some regulatory control and safeguards of investors' rights.

" I don' t think what we have envisaged for dual-class share structure is until to that extent, where investors are merely financial investors and have no say in the direction of the coy. We' re not there yet. Not like U.S. that has mechanisms regulating corporate excesses like class action suits."

" So, an offering like Snap is not something that would be consider, not at this time.


SGX-ST. A stable stk exchange with strength in business trusts n REITs, is forced to look for new ways to boost listings / trading after  penny stock crash in 2013  dented confidence. That episode wiped out SGD$8 billion (U.S.$5.74 bil) in mkt value and contributed to a slowdown in IPOs.

With the rise of entrepreneurship and technology start-ups in Asean n Asia, SGX-ST put forth  a slew of proposals, including dual-class shares, in an attempt to enhance its appeal to firms n technology companies often opt to list in Australia or in U.S. over Singapore.

But the proposal invited criticisms, no thanks to the controversies surrounding  Snap' s decision to offer " no vote" shares in its IPO.

In a  Financial Times commentary  earlier this mth, Aberdeen Asset Mgt Asia' s corporate governance head David Smith wrote - SGX risks triggering a " global race to the bottom" in diluting investor rights if it allows such structure.

Nasser, however, said the proposal is not set in stone yet n SGX would " listen carefully" to opinions of the public on this topic.

" Well, we proposed it, (but) I don' t know what the outcome will be, frankl. What the mkt thinks of this matters a lot, not so much my opinions," he said when asked whether SGX wishes for the proposal to go through.

As Competition for IPOs intensifies



Regional exchanges have upped their game in luring start-ups to list, including the set-up of a platform to trade in start-ups in Thailand and an incubator program in Indonesia to point young companies toward the IPO route.

Recognizing that competition is steep, Nasser, who also leads SGX' s effort in the tech and start-up scene, said his team has started engaging companies early in hopes of steering them to list on the exchange when they are ready.

Asked whether such efforts would yield results, Nasser declined to give specifics but said optimistic number of tech companies listing on SGX would grow beyond the current 84 this year.

" SGX is known for it listing standards, high regulation standards and expectations on all listed companies. (Such a reputation) matters (for companies) when they' re looking for new business partners and going into new markets," Nasser said.

 Alert Admin 		Gaming tech firm indicates price range of HK$2.93 to HK$4 a share

Razer is seeking to raise up to US$545m (S$743m) through an initial public offering (IPO) in HK that could value the Co up to US$4.55 billion.

Razer, o1 a roadshow until Nov 6, has indicated an IPO price of between HK$2.93 to HK$4 a share.

The price will be fixed on Nov 6 with plans for trading to start on Nov 13. The IPO comprises 1.06 billion shares or 12% of Razer's share capital. There will also be an over-allotment option for 160 million shares.

Razer's market debut would coincide with the launch of its first mobile phone, which it said would be released first in the US and EU Nov 2 (SG time) is the expected date, according to Razer's website.

Early investors include Intel, HK's richest man Li Ka Shing and S'pore venture capitalist Lee Hsien Yang, ( younger bro of S'pore's prime minister) has raised US$153m from five cornerstone investors, including Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC (US$20m).

The IPO would raise net proceeds of about HK$3.5 billion, based on a mid-range offer price and assuming that over-allotment option is not exercised.

Of this, 25% will be used to expand business in the gaming and digital entertainment industry, including mobile devices. Another 25% will be set aside for acquisitions, 20% for expansion of research and development, and 20% earmarked for sales and marketing initiatives for new products such as zGold, Razer's credits service launched in January.

It plans to launch its 1st mobile device by end 2017, n/or in early 2018.  Razer also acquired Ouya, that made Android mobile TV games product.  In 2016, Razer  acquired THX, the audio coy founded by George Lucas in 1983 that focuses on developing premium audio and visual set-ups and providing audiovisual certifications. It IPO reveals - Razer again paid around $15 mil for the asset.

MindChamps has inked agreements with Chinese investors ahead of a planned IPO

MindChamps, largest operator and franchiser of pre-sch centres in S' pore, has signed exclusive partnerships with investment firms, China First Capital Group (CFCG) and Hillhouse Capital.  CFCG, which sells automotive parts began diversifying to education business last year, said: " Globally, early childhood education sector has gained much visibility in recent years.

The parties intend to operate pre-schools and kindergartens under MindChamps brand in China, including HK, in Australia and in US. A more definitive terms will be entered into within 6-months from IPO date, said CFCG.

Last mth, Bloomberg sources, that company intends to launch an IPO here as soon as this quarter, and is seeking a valuation of about $200 million.

MindChamps was founded as an educational research centre in Australia in 1998 and opened its first pre-school in Singapore in 2008.

It now has six company-owned and 44 franchisee-operated pre-schools and reading and writing enrichment centres for children between the ages of two months and 10 years, across Singapore, Australia, the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates.

In its Hong Kong Exchange filing, CFCG said it has also entered into a cornerstone subscription agreement with MindChamps and will subscribe for a 4.99% stake in MindChamps, a financial commitment that is not expected to exceed $11 million, it said

In 2014, Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) bought a 22% stake in MindChamps for $12 million.

MindChamps is well positioned to ride on the growth in early childhood education industry and has built a prominent brand for pre-sch education and have achieved in premium-range pre-sch mkt."

In S' pore, MindChamps has 36 pre-schools and three stand-alone enrichment centres.

A 2015 survey by Straits Times and research firm Nexus Link found that four in 10 families here pack their pre-school children off to tuition, costing them about $155 a month.

But competition for private education providers is also rising.

To deal with a shortage of pre-school places for children in the ages of zero to four, as well as to raise the quality and affordability of pre-schools here, Govt announced in August that by 2022, annual public spending on the pre-school sector will reach $1.7 billion, more than double the $840 million committed this year.

By 2023, pre-schools run or supported by govt will take up 2/3 of the mkt share, up from half.

 Alert Admin 		Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed al-Jadaan told bond investors that the initial public offering (IPO) of Saudi state oil giant Aramco will proceed as planned in 2018, sources Reuters.

Aramco has previously said the listing remained ?on track? after a report. Saudi held the global investor call in preparation for a potential 3rd int'l bond issuance, having issued a US$17.5bil int'l bond last yr n a US$9bil sukuk in April.

Saudi aim to list upto 5% (world?s largest oil producer) on stock exch in Riyadh, the Tadawul, and one or more int'l mkts in an IPO that could raise US$100bil

https://www.bloomberg.com/quicktake/saudi-aramco

Saudi govt intends to sell  up to 5% of Aramco  in 2018, most likely in the  2nd half. By  one estimate  last year, the sale could raise  $100 billion, dwarfing the $25 billion snared by Chinese internet retailer Alibaba in the world' s largest initial public offering in 2014.

More recent estimates suggest Aramco may be worth much less, with one analysis valuing the stake  at $20 billion. Either way,  bankers  are lining up to reap a  bonanza of fees.

Proceeds from the Aramco sale would bulk up a  sovereign wealth fund  at the center of a push to diversify the economy, a goal that&rsquo s gained urgency since the price of crude tumbled from more than $100 a barrel in 2014 to about half that level.

Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman' s drive to create jobs for millions of unemployed Saudis in manufacturing, tourism and other fields is  seen as crucial  to the kingdom&rsquo s political stability.

The company will face unprecedented scrutiny: Disclosures needed to trade Aramco shares on overseas exchanges may include the first independent audit of the kingdom&rsquo s reserves, details about its production capacity and a window into how much of the nation&rsquo s oil wealth goes to the royal family.

Aramco is  considering selling shares  in London, New York, Tokyo,  Singapore, HK or even Canada, as well as the domestic market. Chief Executive Officer Amin Nasser says the  company may list  on two or three exchanges. To make the sale more attractive to investors, Saudi Arabia will reduce the company' s  tax rate.

The IPO has an indicative size of US$1 billion (S$1.35 billion), according to Sea's registration statement filed on Saturday ( Sept 23).

Sea, which made its mark initially with gaming, diversified into ecommerce and digital payments. Today it has three brands ? Garena, Shopee, and AirPay ? with a presence in seven markets across Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Singapore.

Pension Plan, and US private equity firm General Atlantic LLC.

The US$550-million funding this year was aimed at expanding Shopee in Indonesia, where it competes with Lazada and Tokopedia which are both backed by Chinese giant Alibaba.

The company was valued at US$3.75 billion at its earlier funding round in March 2016.

 Alert Admin 		Cromwell European Reit has lodged a preliminary IPO prospectus for a listing on S'pore Exchange (SGX).

The real estate investment trust, which draws rental income from 81 properties in six European countries, expects to raise gross proceeds of up to ?1.25 billion (S$2 billion). Units will be issued at between 55 and 57 euro cents a unit.

Based on the IPO price range, the Reit is forecasting a distribution yield of 7.5 to 7.7 per cent for next year.

Offeing 1.58 billion units consists of an international placement tranche of about 1.2 billion units, a Japanese public offering of 268 million units, and 79 million units that will be offered to S'pore public.

Cromwell European Reit will have a market cap of between ?1.2 billion and ?1.25 billion upon its debut.

The Reit has a portfolio of retail, office and light industrial properties in gateway cities in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland, valued at ?1.83 billion.

This will be largest IPO since NetLink NBN Trust, which had a mkt cap of $3.1 bil upon its IPO in July. It $2.3 bil offer size was the biggest here in 6-years.

The Reit has more than 1,000 leases and a weighted average lease expiry of 5.1 years, which means that no more than 12 per cent of headline rent will expire in each year up to 2021.

About 69.1% of the property portfolio comprises freehold land.

The IPO has two cornerstone investors - Cerberus Singapore, which is taking up a 7% stake, and Hillsboro Capital with 8% stake. Cerberus is affiliated with the vendor of certain of the Reit's properties.

The Reit sponsor is Australia- listed Cromwell Property Grp. Cromwell will take up a stake of between 8.7 and 12.7% in the Reit, based on the maximum offering price and depending on whether the over-allotment option for 91 mil units is exercised.

The Reit manager, Cromwell EReit Management, chose to structure the Reit to have a high free-float as its aim is to be eligible for regional index inclusion shortly after listing.

With an aggregate leverage between 34.3 and 36.6%, below the ceiling of 45%, the Reit has ample borrowing capacity to fund growth acquisitions, the draft prospectus said.

Goldman Sachs and UBS are the joint issue managers. They are also the joint bookrunners and underwriters together with DBS, Daiwa Capital Markets and CITIC CLSA Securities.

This will be the largest IPO since NetLink NBN Trust, which had a market cap of $3.1 billion upon its IPO in July. It $2.3 billion offer size was the biggest here in six years.

The public offering will open at 9pm on Sept 21 and close at 12pm on Sept 26, based on its indicative timetable.
