$Keppel (BN4.SG)$ Investors should note changes to Keppel&rs...

Investors should note changes to Keppel&rsquo s net tangible assets (NTA), while those who have sold Keppel short may need to factor in the Sembmarine shares when required to cover their positions.

In response to queries from The Business Times, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) explained that short sellers who had sold Keppel short before Feb 23 &ndash that is, on a cum-distribution basis &ndash will have to deliver Keppel cum-distribution shares when due. Failing that, they will have to deliver Keppel ex-distribution shares as well as Sembmarine shares.

Should the seller fail to deliver shares to the central depository (CDP), they will be subject to CDP&rsquo s failed settlement management.

&ldquo (This) includes buying-in &ndash at a premium &ndash and procurement of the shares for delivery to the buyer, at the seller&rsquo s cost,&rdquo the SGX spokesperson said. &ldquo Short sellers who fail to deliver shares are also subject to a failed trade penalty.&rdquo

The Business Times had earlier reported that the deal between Keppel and Sembmarine appears to have attracted the attention of short sellers. Short positions on Keppel had increased slightly in recent days, while short interest in Sembmarine was up significantly.
