Data room for a Catalist listing

Short answerOn Catalist, the full sponsor decides whether a company is suitable to list and supervises it afterwards. Its due diligence is thorough, so the data room must be complete, well indexed and kept up to date beyond listing.

How it works in Singapore

Catalist is SGX's sponsor-supervised board for growth companies. There are no minimum profit or market value tests; the sponsor assesses suitability and submits the offer document, which is lodged with SGX as agent for MAS.

Sponsors continue to supervise listed companies, so the room often stays in use after listing.
