SIA Placement – Selldown Isn’t Particularly Well Flagged. Overhang Is Too Large to Ignore
- Napier (Temasek) is looking to raise around US$300m via its secondary selldown in Singapore Airlines (SIA SP).
- The deal isn’t very well flagged given that the investor hadn’t earlier given any explicit guidance of a selldown.
- Post-Selldown, Temasek will still own over 50% of SIA’s shares outstanding, so the overhang will be a large one.
Tryt IPO – Peer Comp – One of the Widest Margins Historically, but Has Lagged over the Track Record

- Tryt Inc (9164 JP), a leading professional recruiting and temporary staffing service in Japan, seeks to raise US$450 million. Pricing is on 5 July, and book-building is 6-11 July.
