This followed a <a href="https://api2.sgx.com/sites/default/files/2018-09/Consultation%2BPaper%2Bon%2BProposed%2BRevisions%2Bto%2BMainboard%2BAdmission%2BCriteria%2Band%2Bthe%2BIntroduction%2Bof%2BSPAC.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">consultation paper</a> over a decade earlier.
The feedback phase ended on the 28 April - there were 80 respondents - and unfazed by increased regulatory oversight on blank cheque companies in the US, the SGX <a href="https://www.sgx.com/media-centre/20210902-sgx-introduces-spac-listing-framework" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> a proposed listing framework yesterday.
The detailed paper is <a href="https://api2.sgx.com/sites/default/files/2021-09/Response%20Paper%20on%20Proposed%20Listing%20Framework%20for%20Special%20Purpose%20Acquisition%20Companies.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. 
The final framework mostly mirrors the March consultation paper, with the largest change being the abolishment of limits on the exercise of redemption rights by independent shareholders.
More below the fold.
