SINGAPORE (Jan 20): Security company Secura Group is offering 112 million shares at 25 cents in its initial public offering (IPO).

The shares, to be listed on Catalist, come with 224 million free detachable warrants on the basis of two warrants for every one share successfully subscribed.

Four million shares will be offered to the public for subscription, while the remaining 108 million shares will be placed out.

The warrants, which will trade separately on Catalist, may be converted to one new share at an exercise price of 35 cents each and have an exercise period of three years, starting from the date of issue of the warrants.

Secura is led by chief executive officer Paul Lim, formerly the commander of Tanglin Police Division and deputy director of various departments in the Singapore Police Force.

Its substantial shareholders include Singaporean businessman and investor Peter Lim, UOB-Kay Hian executive chairman and managing director Wee Ee Chao and City Developments. They will collectively own about 52.7% of the group after the IPO.

Apart from providing security guard services, Secura owns one of the largest cheque-printing businesses in Singapore, printing and supplying chequebooks and account passbooks for various banks.

It plans to use most of its net proceeds of $26 million from the IPO to expand its security guarding business; expand its cyber security, technology and systems integration business; as well as upgrade its security printing equipment.

The IPO will close at noon on Jan 26. Trading of the shares listed is expected to start on a "ready" basis at 9am on Jan 28.

Really?

Why Peter Lim's companies are bad-luck?

Can know the names of these companies? I knew one of them is Rowley. Can't recall others.

As of 2013:
UPP Holdings*
Wilmar* (divested in 2010)
Informatics
FJ Benjamin
Yanlord Land*
Epicentre
GLP (this one got ah kong backing, so don't have to worry too much)

* - these are actually money making, but any cap gains & dividends from IPO price are minimal, and/or are currently traded lower than IPO price.

The IPO's currently ongoing, closes 26 Jan 2016. I just don't understand why they must issue with warrants, can someone explain if that'll impact the movement of the share price?

i agrree. kinda complicate things... its like getting a freebie, but not sure if its actually priced in alr. but for 25c, seems quite ok.
warrant has a time decay value though, which may not be favoaurable.

They offer printing services as well not just security, I know most of the banks chequebooks are printed by them. Business seems sustainable but growth wise dont seems to have much opportunities.
