Singapore Exchange (SGX) is pleased to welcome UOB Kay Hian Private Limited as a Full Sponsor on Catalist, the sponsor-supervised board for growth companies.

As a Full Sponsor, UOB Kay Hian will be authorised to sponsor IPOs on Catalist and oversee the company's compliance with SGX listing rules.

Lawrence Wong, Head of Listings at SGX said, "The Catalist sponsorship regime has provided fast growing companies with a shorter time to market and efficient capital raising. The addition of UOB Kay Hian as a Full Sposor will help fuel continued growth in market capitalisation and result in more success stories for Catalist companies, some of which have since qualified and had transferred to the Mainboard"

The addition of UOB Kay Hian as Full Sponsor brings Catalist's Sponsor pool to 11 Full Sponsors (with 55 Registered Professionals) and six Continuing Sponsors (with 19 Registered Professionals). SGX will continue to widen the pool of Sponsors to add depth and breadth to the sponsorship regime.
