Proceeds will be used for investment purposes.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage’s (JC&C) subsidiary Astra International will sell all of its shares in Indonesia-based Bank Permata to Bangkok Bank for $1.53b, an SGX filing revealed. JC&C holds 44.56% of Bank Permata.

The company will use the net proceeds for its investment purposes.

The market value of the shares was based on the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of approximately 12 cents (IDR1,273) per Bank Permata share for all trades done on 11 December.

The carrying value of the shares is at $986.63m (US$729.7m), which will translate to a gain from the disposal of about $816.26m (US$603.7m). The net profit attributable to the disposal will be about $47.32m (US$35m).

At the same time, Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) will also divest its shares in Bank Permata to Bangkok Bank.

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.
