CDL unveils offer for Millennium & Copthorne

The deal would value the hotel group at about $3.2b.

City Developments Limited (CDL) is looking to buy out its London-listed hotel arm Millennium & Copthorne (M&C) for 552.5 pence a share, a deal with a total of $3.2b.

The consideration price would amount to 545 pence per share.

M&C's independent directors will recommend an offer by CDL to M&C Shareholders.

CDL said that it intends to maintain M&C’s current business model, in particular, to run the business as an owner and operator of its hotel portfolio.

It clarified that it has no intention to sell or repurpose any of M&C’s hotels in London or in New York.

CDL currently owns 65.20% of M&C shares.

CDL has until 6 November 2017 to announce its intention to make an offer for M&C.

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.
