SINGAPORE - The Monetary Authority of Singapore said on Monday morning (April 8) that its supervisory reviews to date have not uncovered any impropriety on the part of DBS in performing its roles as both issue manager and distributor of Hyflux perpetual securities in 2016.
DBS was the sole lead manager and bookrunner of Hyflux's issue of $500 million, 6 per cent perpetual securities on May 27, 2016.
The issue was for the purpose of redeeming the $475 million perpetual securities earlier issued to accredited investors. In view of strong interest from retail investors, the size of the public offer was increased from $115 million to $329 million. Hyflux's directors, management and employees were allocated $6 million and the remaining $165 million placed out.
