F&N advisers call new offer 'fair'

We’re talking about $14b.

IG Markets Singapore said:

Thai tycoon Charoen seems to have won his protruded fight for Fraser & Neave, though he was forced to dig deeper into his bulging pockets with a $9.55-a-share offer.

The improved bid looks likely to be accepted by the F&N board, after its advisers called the new offer ‘fair’. With a cool $14 billion changing hands for the control of F&N it looks set to pave the way for further M&A activity in the Asian drinks sector.

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.
