OUE to acquire OUELH stake from ITOCHU

OUE will support the long-term prospects of OUELH.

OUE has signed an agreement with Tokyo-based ITOCHU Corporation to purchase its shares of OUE Lippo Healthcare (OUELH).

In an announcement in the Singapore Exchange, the real estate giant said it has signed a purchase agreement and a memorandum of understanding with ITOCHU to purchase its 6% stake in Singapore-based OUELH.

On 31 March, OUE will purchase the shares of OUELH for approximately $27.6m, or at $0.10 per unit.

"The transaction extends the strategic partnership with ITOCHU Corporation and is inline with the group’s commitment to the longer-term prospects of OUELH’s healthcare business. The transaction will also allow OUELH to focus on executing its longer term business plan with the firm support of its key stakeholders," OUE said in the bourse announcement.

OUELH currently operates one hospital in China and owns 12 nursing homes in Japan.

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.
