OSIM suspends trading as CEO passes 96% ownership mark

Sim can now compulsorily acquire dissenting shareholders’ shares.

OSIM International has suspended the trading of its shares following founder and CEO Ron Sim’s move to raise his stake to 96.03% at the close of his privatisation offer.

According to the company’s announcement, reaching the 96% threshold provides Sim the right to compulsorily acquire the remaining shares still currently owned by dissenting shareholders.

Sim has expressed that he will exercise this right, and will nab the shares at the final ex-dividend offer price of S$1.39 in cash for each share.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
