Genting Bhd to take Genting Malaysia private for $2.1b

GENT has launched an offer at $0.72 per share.

Genting Bhd (GENT) announced plans to take majority ownership of its subsidiary Genting Malaysia (GENM) for RM6.7b (S$2.1b)

GENT, which currently holds 49.4% of GENM, launched a conditional voluntary takeover offer for GENM at RM2.35 ($0.72) a share, up from GENM’s last-traded price of RM2.14 ($0.66) on Friday, the company said in an exchange filing last 13 October 2025.

The acquisition would lead to the gaming and hospitality arm’s delisting from Bursa Malaysia and enable GENT to streamline capital allocation and support large-scale investments.

Trading in shares of GENT and GENM ended Monday following the acquisition announcement. GENT closed at RM2.86 ($0.88).

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.
