SCI, Sembmarine shareholders approve demerger deal

With the three resolutions approved, the right issue may now proceed.

Sembcorp Marine and Sembcorp Industries (SCI) have announced that the three resolutions were duly approved and passed by the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) held on 11 August, an SGX filing revealed.

T S Tay Public Accounting Corporation was appointed as the scrutineer for the EGM.

At Sembmarine's EGM, 98.76%, or shareholders of some 1.4 billion shares, voted for the rights issue, whilst 87.72 per cent, or shareholders with a collective 121.3 million shares, voted for the whitewash resolution.

At the Sembcorp's EGM, 99.67 per cent, or shareholders of 302.6 million shares, voted for the distribution resolution.

As the three resolutions are inter-conditional, this meant that the right issue may now proceed.

This follows after shareholders expressed concerns over what could happen in the event that the two firms were not able to garner shareholder approval. Sembmarine and SCI assured that the deal will unlock shareholder value.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
