ST Aerospace's joint venture firm shaves off $7m of capital

Keystone Holdings expects this to improve Return on Equity and liquidity management.

ST Aerospace's joint venture company, Keystone Holdings Global, has reduced its share capital from $53m to $46m.

According to an announcement, the exercise has returned the $7m to shareholders as an excess to paid-up capital of Keystone Holdings' short-term needs. This is expected to improve Return on Equity (ROE) and liquidity management.

"Keystone is committed to increasing its aircraft fleet as it expands its leasing business, and will be well funded by way of equity from its shareholders and/or credit facilities that can be readily accessed to fund new aircraft purchases," the company said.

Keystone Holdings is a 50-50 joint venture company between ST Aerospace, held through its subsidiary ST Aerospace Resources Pte. Ltd, and SJ Aviation Capital Pte. Ltd. It holds subsidiaries across various geographies with a portfolio of aircraft which are currently on lease to global airlines.

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.
