On 7 April 2020 and 13 April 2020 respectively, the Government of Singapore enacted the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 (the "Act") and the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Alternative Arrangements For Meetings For Companies, Variable Capital Companies, Business Trusts, Unit Trusts and Debenture Holders) Order 2020 (the "Order"). Among other things, the Act and Order containnew legislative provisions aimed at providing legal certainty on the holding of meetings by companies. The relevant provisions concerning meetings are deemed to have come into operation retrospectively on 27 March 2020. Accordingly, compliance with the alternative arrangements prescribed under the Act and Order will be deemed to satisfy any requirements for convening, holding, conducting such meeting under the relevant written law or legal instrument. On 13 April 2020, the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority, Monetary Authority of Singapore and Singapore Exchange Regulation issued a joint statement providing Additional Guidance on the Conduct of General Meetings During Elevated Safe Distancing Period.
