Medeze’s Cordlife offer lapses after securing less than 1% stake

The offer was deemed unfair and unreasonable by an independent financial.

A partial offer for a 10% stake in Cordlife Group has lapsed, with the offerer, a subsidiary of Thai-listed Medeze Group, securing less than 1% of shares.

At the close of the offer, the total number of shares owned by Medeze Treasury amounted to 2.4 million, representing a 0.95% stake.

This comprises the 1.8 million shares (0.68%) that Medeze Treasury had already owned pre-offer, as well as the valid acceptances of 694,591 shares (0.27%).

Medeze Treasury would have needed 25.6 million shares for the offer to succeed.

The offer was deemed unfair and unreasonable by an independent financial adviser, who recommended that shareholders reject it.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
