SPH subsidiary acquires 40% share in Beerfest

For S$480,000 in cash.

Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) has announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, SPHere Exhibits Pte. Ltd., has purchased 4,000 shares in Beerfest Asia Pte Ltd (Beerfest) from Timbre Group Pte Ltd (Timbre), representing 40% of the share capital of Beerfest, at the consideration of S$480,000.

Timbre will thereafter hold 40% in Beerfest. The remaining 20% will be held by individuals.

The consideration was arrived at on an arms' length willing-seller-willing-buyer basis after taking into account various factors such as existing assets, intellectual property rights, goodwill, financial position and business prospects of Beerfest.

The consideration was wholly satisfied in cash and was funded from the Company's internal resources.

The acquisition is not expected to have any material impact on the net tangible assets per share or earnings per share of SPH for the current financial year ending 31 August 2014.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
