Securities and Futures (Amendment) Bill - Sponsored Depositary Receipts
Summary
Singapore Parliament introduced Bill No. 8/2026 on April 7, 2026, proposing amendments to the Securities and Futures Act 2001. The Bill adds new section 239AA establishing a regulatory framework for offers of Sponsored Depositary Receipts (SDRs), defining key terms including 'depositary' and 'SDR' and providing MAS authority to prescribe instruments as SDRs.
What changed
The Bill introduces a new Division and section 239AA to the Securities and Futures Act 2001 specifically addressing offers of Sponsored Depositary Receipts (SDRs). The new section provides statutory definitions for 'depositary' (the issuer holding underlying securities) and 'SDR' or 'sponsored depositary receipt' (instruments conferring rights to exchange for underlying securities and receive interest, dividends, or distributions). The MAS is granted authority to prescribe instruments or classes of instruments as SDRs.
Affected parties including depositaries, issuers of underlying securities, and investors in SDR offerings should monitor this Bill's progress. Once enacted, the new framework will impose regulatory requirements on SDR offerings, and parties may need to ensure their instruments and arrangements comply with the prescribed definitions and any forthcoming MAS regulations under this new authority.
What to do next
- Monitor Bill 8/2026 progress through Parliament
- Assess current SDR offerings against proposed definitions
- Prepare for potential MAS prescription of SDR instruments

| \| “ PART 13A
\| MODIFICATION OF ACT FOR PURPOSES
OF DUAL LISTING BOARDS \|
\| Purpose of this Part \|
\| 309E. —(1) The purpose of this Part is to enable regulations to be made to modify the application of this Act and subsidiary legislation made under this Act in relation to the following matters, for the purposes in subsection (2):
\\| (a) \\| offers or intended offers of capital markets products that are to be listed on a Dual Listing Board; \\|
\\| (b) \\| offers or intended offers of capital markets products that are made using an offer information statement, being offers or intended offers made, or treated under section 239AA as made, by a Dual Listing Board issuer; \\|
\\| (c) \\| acts occurring within or outside Singapore in relation to capital markets products listed or to be listed on a Dual Listing Board. \\|
\\| (2) The purposes mentioned in subsection (1) are —
\\| (a) \\| to streamline the preparation of offer documents for capital markets products to be listed on both a Dual Listing Board and an overseas exchange; and \\|
\\| (b) \\| to align certain practices between Singapore and the foreign jurisdiction in which that overseas exchange operates (such as by modifying the restrictions on advertisements and publications of offers or intended offers of capital markets products, and introducing defences for criminal or civil liability), \\|
\\| in order to support any dual‑listing arrangement to which SGX‑ST is a party as described in subsection (3). \\| \\| (a) \\| to streamline the preparation of offer documents for capital markets products to be listed on both a Dual Listing Board and an overseas exchange; and \\| (b) \\| to align certain practices between Singapore and the foreign jurisdiction in which that overseas exchange operates (such as by modifying the restrictions on advertisements and publications of offers or intended offers of capital markets products, and introducing defences for criminal or civil liability), \\| in order to support any dual‑listing arrangement to which SGX‑ST is a party as described in subsection (3). \\|

\\| in order to support any dual‑listing arrangement to which SGX‑ST is a party as described in subsection (3). \\| \\| \\| \\| \\| \\|
\\| (3) The dual‑listing arrangement is one that the Authority considers is likely to enable access by issuers of capital markets products to a larger liquidity pool and a wider range of international investors. \\| \| (a) \| offers or intended offers of capital markets products that are to be listed on a Dual Listing Board; \| (b) \| offers or intended offers of capital markets products that are made using an offer information statement, being offers or intended offers made, or treated under section 239AA as made, by a Dual Listing Board issuer; \| (c) \| acts occurring within or outside Singapore in relation to capital markets products listed or to be listed on a Dual Listing Board. \| (2) The purposes mentioned in subsection (1) are —

\| (2) The purposes mentioned in subsection (1) are —
\\| (a) \\| to streamline the preparation of offer documents for capital markets products to be listed on both a Dual Listing Board and an overseas exchange; and \\|
\\| (b) \\| to align certain practices between Singapore and the foreign jurisdiction in which that overseas exchange operates (such as by modifying the restrictions on advertisements and publications of offers or intended offers of capital markets products, and introducing defences for criminal or civil liability), \\|
