Temasek-backed consortium completes ANE privatisation in China freight sector

Takeover brings 38,000 agents and townships under private control as ANE exits HKEX.

A consortium including Centurium Capital, Temasek, and True Light Capital has completed the privatisation of ANE (Cayman) Inc., with the company delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at 4:00 PM on 9 February 2026.

Following the privatisation, Centurium Capital holds an indirect 51.78% stake in ANE, while Temasek and True Light Capital each hold 17.35%. Remaining equity is held by the trustee of ANE’s Equity Incentive Plans and former shareholders who rolled over their shares.

ANE operates in China’s less-than-truckload (LTL) express freight market, covering over 99.6% of counties and townships through more than 38,000 partners and agents. The company manages all critical sorting and line-haul operations directly.

Temasek, the Singapore-based investment company, had a net portfolio of $434b as of March 2025. Centurium Capital manages $8.85b (US$7b) in China-focused private equity, while True Light Capital, an independent, indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek, oversees around $5.06b (US$4b) in Greater China-related investments.

The privatisation allows ANE to operate as a privately held company and pursue strategic initiatives with greater flexibility.

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.
