This Chapter sets out continuing requirements which an issuer is required to observe once admitted to the Official List.

An issuer must announce via SGXNET:

(1) all information and documents that the issuer files on SEC EDGAR, at the same time as the SEC EDGAR filing;

(2) all information and documents required to be publicly disclosed in the U.S. by the issuer under relevant U.S. securities laws or regulations or the Nasdaq Listing Rules, but not filed on SEC EDGAR, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than 8.30am (Singapore time) on the market day immediately after release in the U.S.;

(3) all filings on SEC EDGAR pursuant to SEC reporting requirements on insiders of the issuer where the issuer has been notified prior to such filing, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than 8.30am (Singapore time) on the market day immediately after the SEC EDGAR filing; and

(4) any other filings on SEC EDGAR in respect of the issuer, as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than 8.30am (Singapore time) on the second market day after the SEC EDGAR filing.

(1) An issuer must release all announcements via SGXNET, unless specified otherwise.

(2) The Exchange will expect the issuer to request a trading halt under Rule 602 to facilitate the dissemination of material information if such announcement is made during trading hours in Singapore.

(3) Where an issuer announces via SGXNET any filing in respect of the issuer that was filed on SEC EDGAR by a third party (a "Third-Party Filing"), the issuer must ensure that the SGXNET announcement contains the same contents as the corresponding filing made on SEC EDGAR. The issuer shall not, by reason of making such announcement, be responsible under the Rules for the accuracy of the contents of the Third-Party Filing.

On a continuing basis, an issuer must:

(1) maintain a primary listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market;

(2) comply with all the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, unless:

(a) a waiver has been obtained for any non-compliance; or

(b) compliance is regained or a deficiency is cured within a period prescribed by Nasdaq; and

(3) provide an annual certification in the form prescribed at Appendix 4.1 that it has complied with the applicable continuing listing obligations in the Rules.

An issuer must immediately notify the Exchange in writing where it has:

(1) received a notification of deficiency or delisting determination from Nasdaq; or

(2) requested for a voluntary delisting of its securities listed on Nasdaq.

An issuer without a Singapore resident independent director must engage a Singapore-based compliance adviser on a continuing basis, unless otherwise allowed by the Exchange.

An issuer must appoint two authorised representatives, each of whom must be:

(1) a director;

(2) the company secretary;

(3) an officer or employee with suitable authority; or

(4) a Singapore-based compliance adviser.

An authorised representative shall:

(1) be the principal channel of communication between the Exchange and the issuer at all times, and such representative must be readily available and easily contactable during Singapore market hours;

(2) supply the Exchange with details in writing of how he or she can be contacted, including email, mobile and office telephone numbers. The issuer must notify the Exchange of any changes to such details;

(3) ensure that whenever he or she may be uncontactable, suitable authorised alternates are appointed and to supply the Exchange with details in writing of how such alternates may be contacted, including their email, mobile and office telephone numbers; and

(4) not to terminate his or her role as authorised representative before notifying the Exchange of:

(a) the proposed termination; and

(b) the name and relevant particulars of the replacement.

If the Exchange is not satisfied that the authorised representative is fulfilling his or her responsibilities adequately, it may require the issuer to appoint a replacement. The issuer must immediately notify the Exchange of the relevant particulars of any replacement and contact details.

The Issuer must ensure arrangements required under Rules 204(1) and 207 are maintained on a continuing basis.

Where the trading of securities of an issuer is suspended on the Global Listing Board, there must not be any transfers of securities, unless approved by the Exchange.

A document given to the Exchange by an entity, or on its behalf, becomes and remains the property of the Exchange to deal with as it wishes, including copying, storing in a retrieval system, transmitting and selling to the public, and publishing any part of the document and permitting others to do so. The documents referred to in this Rule include a document given to the Exchange in support of a listing application or in compliance with the Rules.

The issuer must comply with additional requirements relating to operational and trading matters as prescribed by the Exchange from time to time.
