All eyes on possible OUE offer for F&N

November 15 will decide whether tug-of-war commences.

Here's more from BBVA:

The corporate story of the year is reignited this week when F&N shareholders will discover if OUE is to put up or shut up as its self-imposed deadline of 15 November looms.

If an offer does materialise it could spark a tug-of-war for F&N, akin to the corporate tussle for its half-owned subsidiary Asia Pacific Breweries which saw Heineken the eventual victor.

The ball is ready to be flung back into Thai tycoon Charoen’s court after spending a number of weeks with OUE. The big question is whether Charoen has got it right having called OUE’s bluff by not improving his $8.88 offer for the conglomerate.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
