SingPost to pay additional $1.7m over arbitration proceedings

The arbitration was commenced by Tan Ho Sung against SingPost.

Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) revealed that they will pay $1.7m more to Tan after the final valuation of set by the tribunal is now at $61.7m.

This takes into account that SingPost previously paid the $60m amount to Tan.

The arbitration stemmed from a dispute between SingPost and Tan over a share purchase agreement and shareholders’ deal linked to Famous Holdings Pte Limited and its subsidiaries.

Specifically, the transfer of Tan's remaining 37.5% of the shares in FHPL to SingPost following the exercise of his put option for those shares.

“As there were differences between the parties on the final valuation of FHPL, Tan had commenced arbitration proceedings against the SingPost,” read the bourse filing.

SingPost said the completion of the transfer of the Option Shares is fixed for 22 September 2023.

Meanwhile, SingPost assured that this will not impact the company’s net tangible assets.

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.
