Innopac Holdings
Innopac announced yesterday that it intends to transfer its listing from the mainboard to the Catalist board of the Singapore Exchange (SGX).
The group said it believes the transfer will provide it with "a more conducive and supportive listing platform", via a Catalist sponsor, to carry out timely corporate actions.
It added the transfer will help it attract investors as the Catalist board will provide a more flexible platform for future fund raising and potential acquisitions and disposals.
It said its board believes that the current size of the company's business and its market capitalisation better resemble that of the companies on the Catalist.
The transfer is subject to the approval of shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened, and will be subject to the SGX's "in-principle approval".
