AusNet Services eyes SGX delisting on 16 July

It will continue to maintain its primary listing on ASX.

Top large cap company AusNet Services said it will voluntarily delist from the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST). According to an announcement, it plans to remove its shares from the exchange on 16 July 2018.

AusNet Services has had its primary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), with a secondary listing on the SGX-ST, since 14 December 2005.

The company said that having considered both the advantages and disadvantages of its shares being listed on the SGX-ST, its board decided that AusNet Services should no longer maintain a secondary listing on the SGX-ST. "The delisting is in the best interests of AusNet Services as a whole. AusNet Services will continue to maintain its primary listing on ASX," it added.

It also said that SGX-ST has no objection to the proposed delisting, on the condition that it will bear the cost of the transfer of shares to the Australian register.

Moreover, a general meeting will no longer be convened to obtain the approval of AusNet Services shareholders to the delisting, as it is not required by both exchanges.

"Shareholders who hold AusNet Services shares deposited with CDP and traded on the SGX-ST may elect to have their AusNet Services SGX shares sold on ASX through a share sale facility," AusNet Services said. Participants in the share sale facility will receive the sale proceeds in Singapore dollars.

AusNet Services joins the delisting wave that has been running since 2016 and has shaved off billions in market value from the Singaporean exchange.

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.
