ST Engineering Raises Cap In STET

 

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) announced today that ST Education & Training Private Limited (“STET”) has increased its issued and paid up capital from S$1m to S$2m. This increase in paid-up capital is by way of a bonus issue of 1,000,000 ordinary shares of S$1 each.

This bonus issue is not expected to have any impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering for the current financial year.
