APAC Realty Limited has announced a proposed 1-for-5 bonus share issue to commemorate its eighth anniversary as a Mainboard-listed entity on the Singapore Exchange (SGX-ST). This initiative aims to reward shareholders for their ongoing support and enhance the trading liquidity of the company’s shares. If approved, shareholders will receive one fully paid bonus share for every five ordinary shares held, with fractional entitlements disregarded.
The company has consistently demonstrated strong shareholder returns since its 2017 listing, maintaining an average dividend payout ratio of 78.7% and declaring over $91.2 million (S$124.6 million) in dividends. The annualised dividend yield for the first half of 2025 stood at 11.5%, reflecting the resilience of APAC Realty’s business model. CEO Marcus Chu stated, “This bonus issue marks an important milestone in APAC Realty’s journey as a listed company, and is a gesture of gratitude to our shareholders for their trust.”
The proposed bonus issue will add up to 71,839,540 new shares, representing about 16.67% of the enlarged issued and paid-up share capital. This move is expected to broaden the shareholder base and support long-term value delivery.
APAC Realty’s recent financial performance has been robust, with a 28.8% increase in revenue to $250.1 million (S$341.5 million) in the first half of 2025, driven by strong brokerage income from new home sales. The company anticipates continued growth in Singapore’s residential property market, supported by population growth and a steady pipeline of projects. Regionally, investments in Indonesia and Vietnam are expected to yield positive results in the coming years.
