The offer is $0.37 in cash for each share.

 

Alpina Holdings’ board of directors and K&T Investment announced the proposed privatisation of the company through the acquisition of all shares. The acquisition will be by way of a scheme of arrangement.

The offer made by K&T Investment is $0.37 in cash per share. As announced by the company on 1 September 2025, the record date for the interim dividend is on 11 September 2025, and the interim dividend will be paid on 30 September 2025.

In their bourse filing, it was disclosed that the offer price represents a 19.4% premium over the company’s last-traded price on 1 September, being the last full day when the company’s shares were traded immediately before the announcement date.

K&T Investment is a special purpose vehicle incorporated in Singapore on 28 December 2024 for the acquisition and the scheme. It was set up by Low Siong Yong, the executive chairman and chief executive officer of the company, and Tai Yoon On, the executive director of the company.

Low and Tai, through K&T Investment, are undertaking the acquisition with the support of Savills Singapore to build a more resilient business for the group in the face of macroeconomic challenges and headwinds.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
