SIA to delist Tigerair as shareholders bite sweetened offer

The flag carrier hit 93.8% in acceptances.

After numerous tweaks to its offer, Singapore’s flag carrier has finally hit the 90% mark in acceptances for Tigerair with the final offer valuing the budget airline at $1.13b.

According to a press release by Singapore Airlines (SIA), Tigerair shareholders finally succumbed to a more alluring offer of 45 cents per share made last month.

This offer was up from the 41 cents per share dangled by Singapore Airlines last November.

Meanwhile, SIA’s move to sweeten the offer came last January after clamor by the Securities Investors Association of Singapore to increase the share price.

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.
