Rajah & Tann Singapore shares our views on the mergers & acquisitions (“M&A“) trends and developments in Singapore in our contribution to the Chambers Global Practice Guide: Corporate M&A 2022 published by Chambers and Partners.
Exclusively authored by our leading M&A partners Sandy Foo, Lim Wee Hann, Lawrence Tan and Favian Tan, the article sets out an overview of the M&A landscape in Singapore, recounting the M&A activity in 2021 and providing the 2022 outlook. Our partners highlight some significant market trends and legal developments that may shape the M&A activity moving forward. These include increased activities of special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) which are allowed to list on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST Mainboard) from 3 September 2021, and greater emphasis on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors when making decisions relating to M&A.
