SINGAPORE, 23 October 2019 – PropertyGuru Limited today announces that it has decided not to proceed with its proposed initial public offering (“IPO”) on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).
Despite strong investor support from a number of leading global and Australian investors, the Board of PropertyGuru has decided to withdraw the IPO due to uncertainty in the current IPO market.
The Company remains positive in its outlook for the performance of the business and does not require new funds to be raised to fund its current business operations.
Further, the Company continues to have the support of its existing shareholders, which is highlighted by the fact that both major shareholders (TPG and KKR), representing aggregate ownership of 58%, were not seeking to sell any shares at IPO and had entered into voluntary escrow arrangements until February 2021.
PropertyGuru Chairman Olivier Lim said, “Despite strong engagement throughout the process with prospective investors, the Board and existing shareholders have determined not to proceed with the offer. This decision took into account current IPO market sentiment.”
