Asia Enterprises to acquire over 28% stake in GKE Metal Logistics

The transaction amounts to $8.86m, or $24.75 for each share.

Asia Enterprises Holding Limited has entered into a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with Hung Lin Holding Ltd for the acquisition of 358,000 shares (28.64%) in GKE Metal Logistics Pte. Ltd. for $8.86m, according to a bourse filing.

The book value of the sales share, being 28.64% of the existing total issued and paid-up capital of GKE Metal Logistics, is at around $4m-$4.5m, respectively, as of 30 June 2024.

The proposed acquisition will be settled by issuing 28.4 million new ordinary shares to the vendor, Li Jing, at an issue price of $0.312 per consideration share.

The issue price of $0.312 represents a premium of approximately 240% to the volume weighted average price of $0.130 (VWAP) for each share of the company based on trades done on the SGX-ST on 30 December 2024, the last full market day when the shares of the company were traded before the execution of the SPA.

Once completed, Li Jing will hold approximately 7.69% of the enlarged total issued and paid-up capital of Asia Enterprises.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
