DJR proposes delisting of Eastern Asia Technology from SGX

The investment holding company said it has lost competitiveness while faced with increasing global competition.

Eastern Asia Technology Limited and DJR International Ltd, in a joint announcement on Wednesday, said DJR has presented a formal proposal to the voluntary delisting of the company from Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST).

According to the joint release, the Directors have reviewed the delisting proposal and have resolved to convene an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to seek the approval of Shareholders for the delisting.

The consideration for the exit offer payable by DJR will be $0.138 in cash for each offer share.

The delisting and the Exit Offer will be conditional on the approval of the Delisting by Shareholders being obtained at the EGM to be convened.

Several reasons were raised to list the company off the market. Among the reasons mentioned were loss of competitiveness, highly unpredictable market, upfront premium, and low trading liquidity, the release said.

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.
