Temasek, JTC ink mega-merger deal for four subsidiaries

Ascendas will be merged with Singbridge Group.

Government-owned entities Temasek and JTC Corporation have inked a deal to merge four of their operating subsidiaries into an integrated urban solutions platform.

The four subsidiaries involved are Ascendas Pte Ltd, Singbridge Group, JURONG International Holdings and Surbana International.

The four subsidiaries will be reorganised to create two independent operating arms. Ascendas will be merged with Singbridge to take on an asset investment & holding role, while Surbana will be merged with JIH to provide building & engineering specialist services.

JTC and Temasek began exclusive talks to explore the merger in September 2014. Both parties have agreed to move forward with the merger after completing the due diligence process. The merged group will be jointly owned by JTC and Temasek through a 49:51 partnership.

Subject to relevant regulatory approvals, the merger is expected to be completed by the first half of 2015.

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.
