According to Centurion, the delisting was due to the costs and utilities needed to upkeep its listing on the HKEX. The volume of trading of Centurion’s shares were also limited on the HKEX.
Following the delisting, Centurion will retain the primary listing of its shares on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST).
Shareholders will have the option to hold its Hong Kong shares, although they will not be traded on the HKEX after the last dealing date. They will also be able to deposit their shares with Singapore’s Central Depository (CDP) account and hold their shares, which are listed and can be traded on the SGX-ST.
The proposed delisting will be subject to Centurion’s shareholders’ approval at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM). A circular will be despatched to Centurion’s shareholders regarding the proposed delisting.
