Lian Beng Group subsidiary sells Emerald Land stake

LB Land said continued investment in Emerald will increase the risk exposure of the Group amidst slow sales.

The Board of Directors of Lian Beng Group Ltd announced that LB Land Pte Ltd, a 67% owned subsidiary of the company, had on 13 September 2012 entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Pallas 28 Investments Limited.

The SPA is for the disposal of LB Land's entire interest of 150,000 ordinary shares and 7,870,506 preference shares in the capital of Emerald Land Pte Ltd and the shareholders’ loans amounting to S$6,484,311.40, for an aggregate consideration of S$16,983,876.40.

Emerald is principally engaged in the business of property development and is the developer of the residential development at 111 Emerald Hill, Singapore.

The announcement said the sale of units in 111 Emerald Hill by Emerald has been slow. It further noted that the disposal will allow the Group to recover its investment.

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.
