ST Electronics to divest interest in subsidiary

ST Engineering's electronic arm entered into an agreement to sell its entire 51% equity interest in Brightspot Interactive Learning Pte Ltd (BSIL).

The interest will be sold to one of BSIL's existing shareholders for a total cash consideration of S$6,000.

The consideration was arrived at on a willing buyer willing seller basis taking into account the current financial position of BSIL.

Subsequent to the sale, BSIL will cease to be a subsidiary of STEE-T&S, a wholly owned subsidiary of ST Electronics.

In a statement, ST Engineering said the divestment is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering for the current financial year.

The divestment of BSIL is a result of an ongoing business review to streamline STEE-T&S' operations.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
