Hatten Land signs term sheet to acquire Metrocon

Purchase price is $24m in new Hatten Land shares.

Hatten Land Limited (under judicial management) has entered into a binding term sheet to acquire 100% of Metrocon Pte. Ltd. from LBD Engineering Pte. Ltd.

The acquisition, if completed, is expected to constitute a reverse takeover under SGX Catalist rules.

The transaction is subject to shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting and regulatory approvals from the SGX-ST. RHT Capital Pte. Ltd. has been appointed as financial adviser and sponsor for the listing.

The parties aim to finalise a definitive share sale and purchase agreement by 31 December 2025.

The consideration is $24m, payable through new Hatten Land shares issued to the Vendor, subject to independent valuation.

Completion will depend on conditions including due diligence, shareholder approvals, regulatory consents, and no material adverse changes to Metrocon’s business.

Metrocon is a Singapore-based company specialising in general building construction, including piling and major upgrading works. The vendor has no existing connections with Hatten Land or its shareholders.

Hatten Land’s shares have been suspended since August 2024, and the company is under judicial management. The acquisition is aimed at diversifying the group’s business, stabilising its finances, and supporting a potential resumption of trading.

Completion is expected within four weeks of meeting all conditions precedent, or as otherwise agreed by the parties.

The term sheet will terminate upon execution of the SPA, mutual agreement to terminate, or 31 December 2025 if the SPA is not executed.

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.
