SECURITIES Investors Association (Singapore) or Sias has asked mainboard-listed Singapore Airlines (SIA) if it has considered privatisation or has such an intention.
The investor watchdog has written a letter to the flag-carrier airline, posing a string of questions triggered by SIA's recent announcement of the issuance of mandatory convertible bonds (MCBs) to raise a further S$6.2 billion.
David Gerald, Sias chief executive, who penned the letter dated May 27, has asked on behalf of some shareholders whether the route of privatisation, like the one taken by land transport operator SMRT, has crossed the mind of SIA's board. He also asked whether SIA has such a plan in mind.
The airline group was quizzed about how it would balance or align its business interests and those of its shareholders, whom Mr Gerald said are questioning the intention of SIA and the issuance, and "are not sure what they should do about it".
