Singapore Exchange to list Nam Cheong Dockyard

Listing follows company's reverse takeover of Eagle Brand at S$472mil.

Sarawak-based shipbuilder Nam Cheong Dockyard Sdn Bhd (NC Dockyard) will be listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) following a reverse takeover of Eagle Brand Holdings Ltd.

In a statement released to the SGX Friday, the deal valued NC Dockyard, together with a 50% stake in unit Nam Cheong Offshore Pte Ltd (NC Offshore) at S$472mil.

Eagle Brand said it would acquire the assets by issuing new shares in the company to Nam Cheong group’s substantial shareholder Datuk Tiong Su Kouk and others.

The SGX-listed firm was without a core business following the disposal of its previous assets. The transaction will give Tiong almost complete control of Eagle Brand.

NC Dockyard reported a revenue of RM1.1 billion (S$466,06 million) and a net profit of RM120 million (S$50.85 million) in the year ended Dec 31, 2009. NC Offshore posted a turnover of S$121.5mil and net profit of S$15.3mil in the same year.

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.
