Maybank acquires stake in Kim Eng

Mayban IB, formerly known as Aseam Credit, announced the completion of the acquisition for 44.63% of the issued share capital of Kim Eng.

On behalf of Maybank's subsidiary, Mayban IB, Nomura announced that all the ordinary shares other than those shares already owned by Mayban IB, its related corporation and their respective nominees have already been acquired.

Together with the market purchases on January 7, 2011 and January 10, 2011 for approximately 5.6% stake in Kim Eng, Maybank now owns a majority interest of 50.2% in Kim Eng, said Maybank in a statement.

The completion of the Acquisition closely follows Maybank’s announcement of May 5, 2011 stating its firm intention to make a mandatory unconditional cash offer for all the ordinary shares in the capital of Kim Eng other than those already owned by Mayban IB Holdings, its related corporations and their respective nominees pursuant to the satisfaction of the pre-condition to the making of the Offer.

According to Kim Eng, the Acquisition has been completed in accordance with the Share Purchase Agreements.

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.
