In its press release dated June 11, Union Gas says it believes a listing on the Mainboard would provide the company with greater visibility and recognition in the market.
“The Group believes that listing on the Mainboard would provide us with a wider platform to reach out to a larger investor base (which may include institution investors and/or overseas based investors), with greater opportunities for future fund raising and corporate actions,” says Teo Hark Piang, executive director and CEO of Union Gas.
“This could potentially facilitate the Group to better tap into capital markets (both equity and debt) where such opportunities for certain fundraising activities are presented to companies of larger market capitalisation and/or companies listed on the Mainboard, to meet the Union Gas’ funding requirements and provide the Group with greater flexibility to pursue its future plans,” Teo adds.
