ThaiBev proposed share swap with TCC Assets values FPL at $1.89 per share

It will no longer hold any interest in FPL upon completion.

Thai Beverage Public Company Limited (ThaiBev), through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary InterBev Investment Limited (IBIL), has proposed a share swap with TCC Assets Limited (TCCAL). It will involve no cash outlay from either IBIL or ThaiBev.

In the proposed share swap, IBIL will transfer its entire 28.78% shareholding in Frasers Property Limited (FPL) to TCCAL. In return, TCCAL will transfer its 41.30% shareholding in Fraser and Neave, Limited (F&N) to IBIL.

The proposed share swap will occur at a ratio of around 1.88 FPL shares for each F&N share. This ratio was established through negotiations reflecting prices of $1.89 per FPL share and $3.55 per F&N share.

Upon completion, ThaiBev will no longer hold any interest in FPL, and its stake in F&N, held indirectly through IBIL, will rise from 28.31% to 69.61%. Concurrently, TCCAL's stake in F&N will decrease from 58.90% to 17.60%, whilst its stake in FPL will increase from 58.10% to 86.89%.

“Our aim with the proposed share swap is to entrench our position as a stable and sustainable ASEAN leader and cement our pure-play status by exiting the property business,” said Prapakon Thongtheppairot, Group CFO of ThaiBev.

“It also gives us a better ability to strengthen the collective potential of ThaiBev’s non-alcoholic beverage segment and F&N’s beverage and food brands to expand our reach in Southeast Asia,” he continued.

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.
