When announcing thepactin April, Grab said in an investor presentation its completion target was July.\n“We decided to be proactive,” Tan said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. “We wanted to set the bar in transparent financial reporting. It may have taken a little longer than we expected.”\nGrab, which operates across Southeast Asia, is the latest company to be affected by intensifying scrutiny from U.S. financial regulators on deals involving SPACs. After a frenzy of listings, the SPAC market has been hit by a crackdown by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as well as lawsuits from shareholders, falling stock prices and delays in planned listings.\nThe SEC’s scrutiny on how accounting rules apply to a key element of blank-check companies has prompted restatement filings. The regulator has said that SPACs may need to account for warrants -- securities issued to early investors -- as liabilities, rather than as equity.\nTan, 39, declined to comment when asked if he expects any major restatements by Grab following the financial audit.\nAnthony TanPhotographer: Akio Kon/Bloomberg\nHe didn’t rule out a secondary listing in Grab’s home market of Singapore, saying the company considers all options. But he said Grab is “laser-focused” on the Nasdaq listing via the Altimeter merger that values the combination at about $40 billion.\nThe CEO said Grab considered a traditional initial public offering, but opted for a deal with Brad Gerstner’s Altimeter after seeing the commitment by the SPAC partner. Altimeter has committed to a three-year lock-up period.\n“They put their money where their mouth is,” he said.\nSome analysts have questioned Grab’s targeted valuation. Matthew Kanterman, an analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence,calculatesthat Grab’s enterprise value-to-sales ratio is more than double those of ride-sharing peers Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc., “giving it scant wiggle room for missteps.”\nWhen asked if the $40 billion valuation may be too stretched, Tan declined to give a direct answer.\n“We are just excited about the region,” a large market for digital services, he said. “We are excited that Grab is an early one to represent Southeast Asia on a global stage.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":80,"commentSize":33,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
