Singapore Exchange (SGX) today announced that Mr Tham Sai Choy has been appointed chairman of the independent Listings Advisory Committee (LAC) effective 7 October 2019, replacing Mr Gautam Banerjee who is stepping down. The appointment was made in consultation with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

"I am proud to have worked with my fellow LAC members to promote the highest levels of quality among SGX-listed issuers, as well as to develop Singapore's capital markets further. My sincere congratulations go to Sai Choy for taking on this important appointment. I wish the LAC well and look forward to following its developments in the future," said Mr Banerjee, who is also chairman of Blackstone Singapore. Mr Banerjee was chairman of the LAC since its October 2015 inception.

"The LAC has done ground-breaking work in the past four years since it was set up, thereby taking the market forward. I look forward to contributing to the thought process behind the workings of the LAC, thereby helping develop our market further. Gautam leaves behind big shoes to fill and the LAC and I thank him for his leadership and contribution to the committee," said Mr Tham.

In the year to 30 June 2019, the LAC evaluated the listing application from a company with dual class share structure, and reviewed eight non-referral cases submitted by SGX.

Mr Tham is currently a member of the Corporate Governance Advisory Committee (CGAC) and chairs the CGAC sub-committee on Accountability & Audit, Shareholder Rights & Engagement. He is also the Chairman of the Singapore Institute of Directors and the former Chairman of KPMG Asia Pacific.

Mr Tham s full biography is set out in Appendix A. The list of the members of the LAC effective 7 October 2019 is set out in the Appendix B. The members collectively have market, legal, accounting and corporate finance experience and also comprise representatives of the investment community.
