AsiaPhos launches IPO with S$200m market capitalization

Firm focused on phosphate mining in China.

AsiaPhos Limited (AsiaPhos), a Singapore-headquartered mineral resources company with vertically-integrated phosphate-based chemical production operations in the pipeline, launched its initial public offering (IPO) of 122 million Invitation shares priced at S$0.25 each, in conjunction with its proposed listing on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST).

United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB) is the Sponsor and Underwriter of the Invitation. Asiasons WFG Capital Pte. Ltd. is the Placement Agent of the Invitation.

The Invitation Shares, comprising 97.6 million new shares and 24.4 million vendor shares, represent 15.25% of AsiaPhos’ enlarged post-Invitation share capital of 800 million shares. The Invitation comprises 2 million shares under the public offer tranche and 120 million shares under the placement tranche.

Based on the Invitation price of S$0.25, the post-Invitation market capitalisation of AsiaPhos will be S$200 million. It will be the first company to be listed on the SGX-ST which is solely focused on exploring and mining phosphate in the PRC with the ability to manufacture and produce phosphate-based chemical products.

“According to an independent valuation report, the preferred fair market value of the Group’s assets, namely the two mines and a P4 plant, is between RMB1.0 billion (or approximately S$207.6 million2) and RMB1.6 billion (or approximately S$332.1 million2) with the preferred value being RMB1.3 billion (or approximately S$269.8 million[) as at 31 March 2013. Accordingly, the Invitation price of S$0.25 represents a discount of almost 26% to the preferred value,” said Mr Khong Choun Mun, Head of Corporate Finance, UOB.

The Invitation opens at 7.00 p.m. on 25 September 2013 and is expected to close at 12.00 noon on 3 October 2013. Electronic applications are expected to open at 12.30 p.m. on 26 September 2013. Trading of AsiaPhos’ shares is expected to commence on a “ready” basis at 9.00 a.m. on 7 October 2013.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
