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.

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.
