Fincantieri extends Vard Holdings' exit offer to 8 August

The deal is now unconditional.

Fincantieri Oil & Gas S.p.A (Fincantieri) extends its exit offer for Vard Holdings from 7 August to 8 August 2018 as the offer is now declared unconditional in all aspects.

According to an announcement, Fincantieri now holds 87.06% of Vard. It offered to buy all of Vard’s shares for 25 cents each.

As previously said, the delisting will only occur if the Singapore Exchange (SGX) agrees to Vard's application and at least 75% of shareholders approve or not 10% or more vote against the delisting.

About 96% of votes cast the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) were in favour of the delisting.

Vard noted that shareholders that voted in favour of the delisting must still accept the exit offer by completing, signing, and submitting their form of acceptance to Fincantieri no later than 5:30 p.m. on the closing date.

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.
