ESR shareholders approve privatisation with 99.97% vote

The company is expected to delist from HKSE on 3 July.

ESR Group Limited has moved a step closer to being taken private after shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of the proposed privatisation by MEGA BidCo during an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) held on Friday.

Shareholders approved the privatisation with 99.97% voting in favour of the scheme of arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Act.

The scheme of arrangement was approved by the requisite majority of scheme shareholders. A special resolution to reduce ESR’s share capital by cancelling the scheme shares and issuing an equal number of new shares to MEGA BidCo was also passed. In addition, an ordinary resolution to adopt the Equity Incentive Scheme (EIS) following the scheme’s effectiveness was approved.

The register of members will close on Thursday, 19 June 2025. No share transfers will be allowed from that date.

If the scheme is approved, the company’s shares will be delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) on 3 July 2025.

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.
