INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS

Going public is an exciting milestone for every successful business.

The decision to take your company public is critical for a growing, privately held company.

Listing on the Singapore Exchange can be a complex and time-consuming process. Companies have to meet the requirements of the regulatory bodies, such as regulations of the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the listing rules of the Singapore Exchange.

As the process requires careful planning and management to ensure a successful listing, we can act as your advisors to:

•  evaluate and advise on the suitability, corporate structure and timing of the floatation
•  review the listing requirements and assist in restructuring the company's financial and operational activities to ensure that your company is in a position to qualify for the floatation
•  address problems and resolve issues that may adversely affect the listing
•  recommend and introduce strategic investors, lawyers, underwriters, valuers and other professional advisors for the transaction
•  advise on Singapore regulatory issues, including corporate governance
•  provide the necessary assistance and guidance through the entire IPO process and to the extent possible, expedite the IPO preparatory work
•  manage, coordinate, trouble shoot, drive and expedite the IPO process

We can also act jointly with a recognised issue manager to:

•  manage the registration and offering process
•  co-ordinate the work of accountants, lawyers, public relations and the media
•  prepare/review the required filing documents which include the application and prospectus
•  address queries from the Singapore Exchange on the prospectus

After listing, the next phase of the company will be to plan for the future. We will:

•  assist you to manage shareholders' value and to grow your business
•  provide you with on-going advice and support on developments in your company, and periodic reporting to shareholders and regulators
•  provide you with on-going advice and support on market developments and activities, such as new share issues and major transactions, and the relevant documentation and project management support
•  hold regular meetings with you to keep an update of the latest developments in your company, and provide solutions to business issues which you may encounter
