Takeover alert: Frasers Centrepoint submits $3b bid for Australian developer

A new continent is ripe for the taking.

Property developer Frasers Centrepoint Limited revealed Wednesday that it has submitted $3.03b takeover bid for the ASX-listed Australand Property Group.

FCL made a cash offer of A$4.48 per share, which would total to A$2.6b (S$3.03b) should all Australand stapled securities be acquired.

According to Lim Ee Seng, Group Chief Executive Officer of FCL, “The Proposal will catapult FCL to being one of Australia’s leading real estate companies with a portfolio of scale and quality. We already have an established platform and good brand recognition in Australia, but real estate is a business where scale and depth matters. This Proposal will be the catalyst that will help FCL to deepen our roots and accelerate our growth in a market that we believe will continue to offer long-term growth prospects.”

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.
