Keppel and SPH close voluntary unconditional general offer for M1

Both firms are expected to hold 80.69% of M1.

Konnectivity, the joint venture company of Keppel and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), has announced the close of the voluntary unconditional general offer for M1 Limited, with the offeror and its concert parties holding 94.55% in M1.

Due to strong shareholder support, Keppel and SPH are entitled to compulsorily acquire all the shares of shareholders who have not accepted the offer at the price of $2.06 for each share. Subject to the approval of the Singapore Exchange, M1 will then be delisted.

After the compulsory acquisition, Konnectivity is expected to hold 80.69% of M1 with the remaining 19.31% being held by Keppel Telecommunications and Transportation Limited.

Following the close of the offer, Keppel and SPH will work with M1 to commence a multi-year transformational journey to enhance its competitiveness. M1 will devise a multi-pronged strategy of innovation, technology adoption and digitalization, to better meet the needs of its customers.

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.
