Hong Leong Asia units extend deadline for acceptances of Tasek offer

This is the second time they made an extension, which was originally set on 23 June.

Hong Leong Asia’s subsidiaries HL Cement (Malaysia) and Ridge Star have extended the deadline of receiving acceptances in regards to the proposal to acquire all remaining shares in cement manufacturer Tasek from 17 July to 3 August, an SGX filing revealed.

This is the second time they made an extension, which was originally set on 23 June. Hong Leong offered to acquire the remaining ordinary shares and preference shares in Tasek after it raised its stake in the latter to 92.42%.

The latest move follows after Ridge Star acquired another 22,400 Tasek ordinary shares for $42,267.93, bringing its stake in the firm to 96.59%.

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.
