Mindlink Groups withdraws from M&A deal with Century 21 Singapore

Singapore invoked its foreign interference law against Century 21’s principal advisors.

Mindlink Groups has withdrawn from its merger and acquisition (M&A) deal with Century 21 after one of the latter’s principal advisors, Philip Chan, received notice regarding the Foreign Interference Act.

“Mindlink Groups deems it necessary to immediately withdraw from the M&A acquisition deal,” the company said.

“We extend our gratitude for the positive collaboration experienced thus far and express regret over the circumstances leading to this decision,” the company added.

Despite the deal fallout, Mindlink Groups Chairman Chow Yi Tong said he wishes to maintain a positive relationship with Century 21.

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.
