PART V
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Corporate entitlements like bonus shares, rights issues, etc.
37.—(1) Where entitlements in respect of securities purchased with CPF contributions withdrawn under these Regulations, whether listed or quoted on the Singapore Exchange and whether denominated in Singapore currency or not, are offered to a member at no cost, the entitlements shall be deemed to be purchased with CPF contributions and be held in the member’s CPF Investment Account, ordinary account or special account, as the case may be.
(2) Where entitlements in respect of securities purchased with CPF contributions withdrawn under these Regulations, whether listed or quoted on the Singapore Exchange and whether denominated in Singapore currency or not, are offered to a member at a cost, the member shall, if he decides to take up these entitlements —
(a) where the underlying investments of these entitlements are of a type approved by the Board under these Regulations, purchase these entitlements with CPF contributions withdrawn under these Regulations whereupon these entitlements shall be held in the member’s CPF Investment Account, ordinary account or special account, as the case may be;
(b) where the underlying investments of these entitlements are not of a type approved by the Board under these Regulations, purchase these entitlements with cash.
(3) Where a member sells his entitlement to any rights issue in respect of any of the securities purchased under these Regulations, the whole proceeds of the sale, less any expenses as the Board may permit, shall forthwith be credited to his CPF Investment Account, ordinary account or special account, as the case may be.
(4) All dividends declared, and interest or income earned, in respect of securities purchased by a member under these Regulations shall be credited to the member’s CPF Investment Account or special account, as the case may be.
Net realised profits may be withdrawn
38.—(1) Where a member has purchased any securities under Part II or IV and wishes to withdraw the net realised profits arising from such purchase, the member shall apply to the Board to withdraw the net realised profits within one year from the end of each accounting year in accordance with this regulation.
(2) An application made by a member under paragraph (1) may be approved subject to such terms, conditions and procedures as the Board may impose.
(3) The net realised profits of each accounting year shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:
GRA = A + B – C –D –E ‑ F
where in relation to that accounting year —
GRA
is the gross realised amount;
A
is the sale or disposal price of the securities;
B
is the total amount of dividends, interest and income received prior to the sale or disposal of the securities, interest earned in the CPF Investment Account and the Share Profit Account and any net realised profits carried forward from the previous accounting year;
C
is the total sum of the costs (including weighted average cost, where applicable) of investment in the securities sold or disposed of;
D
is the total amount of expenses, charges, fees incurred on the purchase of the securities and on the sale or disposal of such securities;
E
is the whole or such part, as the Board may determine, of the interest that would have been payable on the available amount withdrawn under these Regulations, had the member not withdrawn that amount from his ordinary account; and
F
is the net realised loss carried forward from the previous accounting year.
