SGX Stocks Calendar

How to read this calendar

Each entry is a meeting announcement filed with SGX, shown under the date it was announced. The Meeting Schedules toggle above re-places the same data on the date of the meeting itself, which is what you want when planning whether you can attend, or when a resolution will actually be decided.

AGM and EGM are not the same thing

An Annual General Meeting is required of every Singapore company each year and follows a predictable script: adopt the audited accounts, approve the final dividend, re-elect retiring directors, approve directors' fees, re-appoint the auditor, and renew the routine share-issue and buyback mandates. A listed company must generally hold its AGM within four months of its financial year end, which is why this calendar thickens in April — most SGX issuers close their books in December.

An Extraordinary General Meeting is called when something cannot wait: a major acquisition or disposal, a rights issue, a scheme of arrangement in a takeover, a delisting proposal. An EGM is therefore worth more of your attention than an AGM — it means something specific is being put to shareholders, and the notice attached to it says what.

Why the dates matter even if you never attend

The AGM is usually where the final dividend is approved, so the meeting date gates the payment: the ex-date on the dividends calendar normally falls after the meeting, not before it. Voting at listed-company meetings is by poll and the results are themselves announced to SGX afterwards, so a contested resolution is visible in the filings even if you were not in the room. Attending is not the only way to take part — a shareholder may appoint a proxy, and most Singapore issuers now accept proxy forms and questions submitted ahead of the meeting.

What to read before a meeting

The notice of meeting sets out each resolution. The circular attached to an EGM explains the transaction and usually carries an independent financial adviser's opinion. Both are linked from the entries here, and each company page keeps its filing history beside its price chart. If you want a plain reading of a long circular, the summariser will condense the PDF — a convenience, not a substitute for the document.

Everything else an issuer files

Trading halts and suspensions, substantial-shareholder and director dealings, buybacks, placements, rights issues, takeover and delisting notices — anything that is not a meeting, a dividend or a results filing — is published by SGX itself at company announcements, more completely and more currently than a copy here could be.
