IMDA Act amended to expand approval requirements for media sector ownership changes.

The Info-communications Media Development Authority (Amendment) Bill expands the scope of transactions requiring prior IMDA approval. Approval is now required for any person acquiring 30% or more equity/voting power, gaining effective control, or taking over a regulated person's media business as a going concern.

Why it mattersLawyers advising on M&A in the media sector must now account for a broader trigger for mandatory regulatory approval regardless of whether the acquirer is itself a regulated person.

MAS introduces automatic class exemption framework for Single Family Offices (SFOs).

Effective 15 June 2026, the Monetary Authority of Singapore replaced the case-by-case licensing exemption for SFOs with a structure-agnostic class exemption. Qualifying SFOs must now file a Notice of Commencement of Business and subsequent annual returns to operate without a license.

Why it mattersLawyers must ensure SFO clients transition from the old case-by-case regime to the new notification-based system to avoid unlicensed activity.
