ST Engineering loses Cubic Corporation bid

American firm Cubic Corporation chooses the proposal of rival bidders over the Singaporean company's bid.

ST Engineering has dropped its deal in US-based defense firm Cubic Corporation.

This, following Cubic's acceptance of the rival proposal submitted by Veritas Capital and Evergreen Coast Capital Corporation.

"We appreciate the engagement of the Cubic Board and management team throughout this process. ST Engineering is well positioned for further value creation and will continue to execute on the many other opportunities we have to be a key Smart City solutions provider on the global stage," said ST Engineering CEO and Group President Vincent Chong in a bourse disclosure.

Veritas and Evergreen offered a US$75 per share offer, lower than ST Engineering's US$78 per share proposal.

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.
